So, Officer, which one of my manouvers did you not like ?

Seemed an appropriate opening remark when pulled this morning.
That was him out of his stride and smiling, he forgot about the speeding
at the end of the roadworks (I was in fuckwitt mode and opened up from
40 -> 55 before I should , when I knew he was behind me :=} ) and went on
about my Mway lane manouvers.

I must admit, he seemed on a different planet from me[1]

"When you cut from lane 3 to 1 you caused the car in lane 2 to brake"
<metaphorical head scratch>
(To Self) "eh? it was a van..."
</mhs>

"And then were too close to the car in front and had to put your feet down
to stop"

<more metaphorical head scratching>
(Again to self) "eh? I stopped, then stood up to what the traffic was
stationary for and see if a filter was worthwhile"
</mmhs>

Plod - "Had you licence long sir ?"
Me - "Yes 20 odd years"
Plod - "ridden all that time?"
Me (holding back any sarcsm) - "yes"

I then had to withstand a a lecture on stopping distances (becasue it was
sooo long since my test... )

Tooks a producer and went on my way ... ho hum

Best bit was the
"Pull over when safe to do so" from his tannoy system

[1] But then isn't everyone.

 

I trust you cut to the hard shoulder and performed a textbook stoppie,
leaving him to reverse about 150 yards back to you?

 

platypus

So the plod was going the wrong way on a motorway the whole time?

 

On the XJ900F ! bwahahahaha

I think he would have been 150 yards behind me !

 

Did he get out hi Highway Code and start quizzing you on braking distances?

 

Nearly, just gave me a lecture on stopping distances and the fact I was
travlleing too close to vehicles in front of me (well I had a plod car up
me arse !)

 

I have never understood this argument.

 

Which ? The travelling too close, or my sarcasm about plod ?

 

Why having someone up your arse means you have to be up the arse of
the guy in front.

 

See, that was sarcasm back there, it was a J O K E.

 

Its either the way you tell them, or the way I read them.
