Afternoon,

I was recently pulled for driving a 2022 Porsche Cayman, I promptly pulled over and was not in a panic.

The first officer claimed he had pulled me for 'Looking too youthful'. I am a 19 Year old, I do look young and with a bright red car it stands out. However is this actually allowed?

Shortly after, 4 Police got out the vehicle and started requesting documents, proof of insurance which I provided.

They let me leave, as I turned the car around, he pulled his window down and shouted 'Our Colleague is giving you a section 59 for Anti-Social driving'. (who was not present at the time but had radio'd through to the officers.'

I asked what I had done wrong to every response being 'You'll get a letter in the post'. The officers also said in the time they followed me, no faults were made. It's been 7 days now with no letter however I don't think I'll be able to enjoy my car anymore with such simple driving errors potentially leading it to get seized.

Please let me know your thoughts, thanks.

EDIT: This is genuinely not a troll post, I've never used car forums before, just seeking advice on what has happened.

My thoughts are "made up tale for the easter holidays".

Top tip - you're better off with a cheap vs expensive tyres topic if you want your troll thread to gain traction. smile

So were you pulled for driving a 2022 Porsche Cayman, or for looking too young?

And don't worry about not being able to enjoy your car anymore; they're going to take it off you anyway. smile

I don't believe I had made an error, they told me it was for 'anti-social driving' however I was initially pulled for looking too young which the officer told me as I pulled down my window.

The Section 59 was due to another officer radioing through.

The police do not need a reason to stop and check a vehicle and its driver.

You can be stopped for a routine check

Maybe tine to remind yourzelf of the Highway Code and Road Traffic Act

The fact that you do not want to tell us what caused a S159 notice to be issued suggests it was something more than trivial

Drive like a nonce expect to be treated like a nonce.

It was for 'AntiSocial Driving' when I asked what I did wrong, or what not to do in the future. They said 'Antisocial Driving' a colleague had told them about it through Radio.

The officers who pulled me said I was driving fine, however it was their colleague who claimed it was 'antisocial driving'.

I was on my way to the Hospital, just driving through town.

" Its been 7 days now"

One of which was a Sunday
One of which was a Bank Holiday
One of which is a Saturday !

Which one was it first you say you made a "simple error" then you say your driving was "fine" ?

What exactly was the "simple error" and where did you make it

To answer your first question, yes. Constable in uniform can stop you on a road. End of.

Secondly, this is either a nonsense troll post, or you know what you've done and just want to moan and tell us all you have a "2022 Porsche Cayman" at the age of 19.

Let’s give you the benefit of the doubt.. I’d say BiB #1 has seen you driving like a bit of a tt somewhere but couldn’t do anything about it there and then. So he’s made a call out about a child driving a bright red, new Porsche like a melon, so if anyone else happens to see them maybe have a chat. The other 4 (count’em!) BiB who then saw you had such a chat, which presumably furnished them with your details, and now the S59 can be issued. Or maybe it won’t, you’ll just have to wait for Postie. Meanwhile have a proper think about how you might have been driving.

Five? Not many police services in the UK can spare 5, that’s a whole shift in some small cities!

What were the 'simple driving errors' that you committed, you must have an idea?

If you are in fact guilty, then get some proper legal advice.
