So on my way home late last night over a bridge to a slip road to join a motorway. I noticed x5 police sat on the bridge. Went passed at probably 45 the limit is 40, into a Roundabout and exit on to a slip road. Yeah I did boot it down the slip road up to 80-85 joined motorway couple of lorry’s lane 1 few cars lane 2 probably doing 65 ish so moved to lane 3 still doing 85 speedo.
Out of nowhere see a car from lane 1-3 come zooming up behind me tailgating. Sometimes in this situation I do accelerate if I thing someone is being an idiot but late at night could see it was an X5 from the headlights so I moved over suspected it was that x5 I had just seen. Car came past slowly yep it was the police just as I thought. They dropped back again followed me for 4 miles then pulled me over.
Officer came over asked my name didn’t ask for proof then said ok not to worry we were looking for a silver Saab. Off you go.
Ok
Routine check or were they following me to see if I would go faster on motorway.

If your spoken English is anything like your written English, they walked away shaking their heads and saying "what did he say"?
Lol. I didn’t know I was writing to the editor of The Times or
Didn’t get any last night?

I moved over as soon as I could. No way they could have seen me boot it down the slip road they would have been turning around to come my way. On the motorway I was in lane 3 overtaking saw the X5 dart from lane 1 to 3 in my rear view and on me quite quick so I put my indicator on to show I will move over when I can. They didn’t overtake straight away so I knew it was the police low and behold when they did pass me it was them.

I found it more strange he didn’t ask me for driving licence, pulled over stopped for maybe 30 secs max then ushered away.

Yep, probably didn't start his answers with 'what it is yeah' or 'basically' which is 9 times out of ten, followed by a pack of lies hehe
with a backdrop of deafening rap music...
Or something equally awful at 180 bpm.
Ha ha If that’s what they were hoping for no wonder they sent me on my way. 9/10 if I’m listening to something it’s radio 4.
