half-unmarked Police 4x4s
Discussion
I have noticed recently that the police seem to be driving on the motorway with no 'POLICE' marking on the back of their 4x4. They have all the markings you normally see on a Womble 4x4 or Police 4x4 but no wording.
I've seen these on the M3 and M4 recently near London.
One on the M4 last night was driving at around 75mph in the middle lane and then pulled into the 3rd lane and dropped to 60mph - and there was no one to overtake in the 1st or 2nd lane - it looked like he was hoping someone would think it was a Highways Agency 4x4 and someone would undertake.
Has anyone else see this - is this a new tactic to pretend that the Police 4x4 are Highways Agency vehicles?

See this tactic quite a lot, police car sits in the outside lane doing 65. Had one, sat in the outsdie lane at 65, then hit the brakes down to 55 infront of me on a totally clear motorway, obviously trying to see if me or anyone else would undertake, tailgate etc. Sat at 55 for a few minutes then pulled in and gave everyone a good eye-ballin'. Doubt it would ever work, considering everyone sits at 60-65 and jumps to the inside lane as soon as a BiB appears. Great when your running late for Uni though, can just waft up the outside lane at 70 and jump all the traffic
