Encountered this fellow twice in the last 24 hours, strangely. He seems to want people behind to think he's police, hence the blue strip stuck along the top of his roof lights, and he turns them on whenever anything happens that he doesn't like, or he wants someone to move out of the way.

Very strange behaviour... Who on earth would pay any attention to yellow flashing lights on a van?



Cool story etc., just find the guy a bit odd!

I'm guessing mid 40's lives at home with his mum. Computer full of child porn.

You did wink Sorry.

Yeah strange behaviour indeed, but it gives you something to chuckle at when your stuck in traffic.

I had a similar incident with an Astra vam driver on the M1 a few years ago and I was on my bike. He simply would not move over, so I just went up the inside. He actually started gesticulating, obviously indicating the prescence of his orange strobe lamp, and then switched them on. I just gave him the coffee beans and fked off. What a fking wker.

laugh Brilliant! I actually remember you posting this a couple of years ago. It's always stuck in my mind as a particularly bizarre way to go on!

ive even seen some "security" vans like Vito/Vivaro size with the battenbergs slapped on the sides for the full monty effect......surely sooner or later the real feds pull these jokers and remove the police-eqsue stickers......youd hope so.

like people have said - weird. i recall some dude that fits the 40s living at home with his mum pigeon hole on traffic cops or motorway cops or similar - feds pulled him and he maintained he was a medic on a call! this that was an astravan.
