Just finished my trunk about 3.15 am… On my way home over Orton Fell (Tebay to Appleby) i met what i thought was a van, coming towards me on full beam. he never offered to dip so I gave him a blast of the horn as we passed and carried on at about 45/50mph. (national limit) Several minutes later I see headlights coming VERY fast in my rear view … So then it catches up to me and sits behind for a couple of miles until I turn off onto a smaller road, then follows me and lights up what looked like Blackpool Illuminations , all in blue… so I stop, wander back to him and he says " I’m sorry for dazzling you Mr Morland", ( PNC check already done then ), “I was looking for something” so I said “that’s good of you to apologise”… and that was it… apart from him wishing me a happy new year as well… SO , there are some nice coppers out there…

Fair play, but you could do with the years back on your life that disappeared when the blues came on, and the minutes back that you were delayed on your way home.

3

a police friend of mine used to use a similar thing, just to see if he could smell booze on your breath when you spoke…

4

Bet he wouldn’t have been so nice if you weren’t taxed/insured.

5

how did he know it was you ? could have been anyones arse in the seat surely … :sunglasses:

So this plod stops you, waits for you to walk over to him and apologises for dazzling you, Selfish Pig.
Am I the only one that sees the OP has been inconvenienced twice by an inconsiderate pig?

Nope, I agree completely. Pig drives along with full beams on like a ■■■■, gets beeped at for doing so and gets angry. Then turns around and drives extremely quickly to catch the OP and while following does the PNC check. When he finds nothing wrong, he decides to apologise, probably after smelling the OP’s breath for DD as dle1uk suggested.
At 3.15am, he could’ve dipped the lights and carried on ‘looking for something’ after the OP had passed.
I used to respect plod when I was younger but the more I come across them these days, the bigger more arrogant bellends they’re becoming.

They’re not all bad. Christmas eve I got pulled on my way home for going through on amber, no seat belt and not bothering to indicate.
After a brief chat he let me on my way with a happy christmas and both my wallet and license intact.
Happy days

■■■■ right. May well be an excuse to sniff your breath…If he’d have stopped you for dazzling him-would he have let you off with an apology? I’d have asked him what he was looking for on Orton Fell at 3.15pm? Bit far out to pick up a lady of the night I’d have thought… :laughing:

and rightly so
i am stopped on a regular basis out on call with a jcb at night , they have always apologised for stopping me , but i always thank them ,as they would not be doing their job if they did not ,and one day it just might have been nicked again …

18

people are so negative lately :smiley: :smiley: chill and have a pot noodle from bowser

19

they can stop me every day if i get to drive away intact,if your paid by the hour its an added bonus no one will argue at the office about being pulled.

The mr morland bit a ploy to check if wagon was nicked a thief would be shocked and had to lie.
