Officer discretion, and then some.

On the way to work this morning, I carried out a blatant undertake on the A38. Unfortunately, I did this right in front of the unmarked grey Volvo S40 saloon that polices our area, it was directly behind me. I realised this too late.
However, he did nowt, except follow me into Derby and observe my driving for a while, then he turned off. Phew!
I won't go into too much detail about the undertake, except that it was blatant, and I had also left it quite late, so it wasn't that straightforward and it could have been considered dodgy. I was really surprised he didn't at the very least have words with me.
FJ03UBA, many thanks for the discretion shown.

Probably a mechanic testing it after service However, he did nowt, except follow me into Derby and observe my driving for a while, then he turned off. Phew!

they're still in tea swilling mode then.
If it was a marked car, I would have demanded the maximum penalty, and then requested that it was doubled, for being a particularly unobservant twonk. I am very annoyed with myself that I didn't clock the unmarked car as it is, until too late.
I would be surprised if I get something in the post, I was cruising and so was he, with no indication of being on a shout, and there was all the time in the world with plenty of laybys and other suitable stopping places he could have pulled me over, for a word or a nip.
The transit van I undertook was out on his own in lane 2 for ages, I did give it ample opportunity to notice me behind and to move over, before the 'Oh, sod it!' impulse took over.
MLM's and outside lane hogs

Why the hell didn't he pull the dickhead in the van and charge him with DWDCA?
That would have been much more productive.

Yeah almost as bad as those twunts who overtake on the nearside .
You mean using the space the twunt in lane 2 should've been using in the first place? I think the rule is 'keep to the left unless overtaking'. If there's nothing in lane 1 to overtake then why should anyone change lanes to accomodate a mindless f*ckwitt occupying a lane he shouldn't be. .jith said:

Agreed. Why the hell didn't he pull the dickhead in the van and charge him with DWDCA?

That is what I would like to see plod doing, pulling the MLMs, this may actually lead to almost acceptable lane discipline and would probably reduce congestions by a vast amount as the whole road would actually start to be used.
