Weird driving by plod - any ideas why??
Discussion
I was pottering gently through a 30 limit yesterday 
heading for an NSL, T-junction on my left. It was dark.
Suddenly, the car approaching me puts on its flashing blue lights and swings across the road in front of me with no warning. No problem with that (except no indication!
), except he then stopped dead right in front of me. 
Luckily I wasn't on autopilot so I stopped before I took out his n/s door. 
He then proceeded to make a 3-point turn in the middle of the road, using the edge of the T-junction to nose into. Then, completing his turn, he switched off the blues and pootled at a sedate 40 through the NSL to a roundabout, where he turned up the road that ran parallel with the road he was on before attempting to modify the front of the Flying Fridge.
What was all that about?? Any ideas?
I mean, could he have received an emergency call that was cancelled 10 seconds later?
I'm not particularly bothered about it, I'm just wondering why on earth he'd do something so patently dangerous? Surely no-one needs doughnuts that much, do they?
Edited to add: Aargh! I misspelt my title!!!
