Pulled over - Dangerous Driving
Discussion
Driving down the motorway one evening last week, I noticed I was being closely followed by a police car.
My speedo was showing 75ish so I just carried on, knowing that gps would have been more like 70.
After a mile or two I got stopped. Officer accused me of 80mph which I obviously denied.
He said that it should be a £300 fine and 3 points for dangerous driving, however he couldn’t be bothered to issue a ticket.
Were the two officers just bored, on their way home? Are police now stopping people for being marginally over the limit on the motorway? Anyone else had this happen?
