stick on blue light & independant flashing lights
Discussion
how about this one, im following this green focus in the fast lane,plenty of opportunity for him to pull over,but no, puff of smoke from his diesel and he starts the slow accelleration, 90,95,100,105,110,ripping the arse out of it at 115 (im in an xkr ticking over at 3500rpm) he only pulls out a flashing blue light and sticks it on his roof."must be having a laugth" i thought ,there a fiver ar halfords,he slows to 90,pulls in middle lane,i cruise past and look at him, he shakes head, no sighn of a being a copper i cruise on at 90, (was gonna dissapear in horizon,but now im thinking "hang on may have radiod ahead for traffic cop" so i stayed put,after a couple of miles ,you got it,sticky blue light back on and independant flashing headlights "hang on" i thought "begrudged salesman in poxy green focus may go to the trouble of sticky blue light from halfords, but to wire in light relay maybe not" then he indicates for me to pull over "hang on a minute,carjack and all that"so slow down and eye ball for two miles,"ok ill pull over,keep it in drive ,foot on brake, ready for the getaway if ya man has just escaped from mental home"near side window half down, very polite chap tells me this "i am going somewere in a hurry,i do not need to be pushed by you at 120 (very optomistic i thought for a chuggy focus )do you want to loose your licence, have you got the point?"then walked away, i only had a chance to say "you could have pulled over" what i should have said was "can i see your id" while driving off i thought "yeh that would have been a double glazing salesman business card" DOH!
he would have got to where he was going alot quicker had he not botherd with me and just pulled over, ok i was speeding, if he was legit he lost his disiplins and got wound up, if you were on a couvert operation i would have thought you would not want to make yourself known by speeding, or stopping other drivers, i could have been a drug dealer and shot him dead
nice isle of man story, dont normally drive at 120 mph, it was the "rush hour" but i go against the heavy traffic (coast bound m20) london bound you would be lucky to do 20 mph, valid point blues and twos i have spoken to the w sussex police and given details, if their is any connection i suppose they shall call me,keep you all informed.
