unmarked car warning

[Pesty]

If your in the doncaster area on the M18 and a silver 5 series estate is up your arse dont be tempted to put some space between you. It is completely normal on the outside until its lights come on.
It joins the usual suspects of a few volvos which are also just like stock.

This sounds remarkably like entrapment! Rather than put your foot down just lift off - he'll soon find someone else to pester!

[samuelellis]

I have to admit the unmarked police cars are looking more and more stock than every before even down to only having the stock aerial on show

[Jonty99]

Actually if you own a bangor, if you see that car behind you pestering you, then slam the brakes on and let it hit you from behind.... one less unmarked car on the road then! And will teach them a lesson for following too close!

Thanks for the info, had reason to deal with the Blue Volvo estate last year that seems to patrol that area.

[steven f]

if a police car manages to get up your arse you are driving to slow and its a waste of a fast car if you own one

Of course they don't!

[wildoliver]

Tailgating, speeding, dodging lights, dangerous driving, but they are highly trained police drivers

Just over 223,000 miles and it's still one of the favourite cars I've ever had

The 530d saloons in silver and black driven by plod are the training cars for the Hull Traf Pol. They have the usual lights behind grill, on the rear parcel shelf.

I was driving back on the A19 from Thirsk to Middlesbrough and saw an unmarked silver police Impreza, complete with large spoiler, had pulled someone over. Now that really is entrapment.

Saw an unmarked silver Impreza Turbo pull some one for dangerous overtaking going up Sutton Bank. Impreza had to take avoiding action as numpty overtook at a bend. Female driver fast U and raced off after said numpty, pulled him at the top!! Good for her I thought, get these idiots off the road!!

You have to look out for them sat on the sliproad at the top of junction 2 of the M18, they vascar you from there, then have usually cought you up before the A1 junction.

See them there daily.

[Isoproturon1]

Entrapment ?! Sort of word the Yanks use.

You mean people were "caught" for doing they shouldn't have been doing. That's just awful.

[burriana]

Hang on, get the high horse out again, the Lone Ranger's here!

I would say that if Traf Pol choose to use a Scooby with full on "turbo nutter b*stad rear spoiler, then they do so because they want drivers of other similar cars to think they are one of their own.

I'm not saying they should not do it, I would in their position, but don't try to defend it as not putting temptation on a plate.
