Police on the CB?

Years ago when we were on the A.M frequencies I got pulled just north of Wetherby.
I had just warned south bounders of a jam sandwich heading their way when the CB crackled into life. I had a load of timber on at the time, and this voice says “ 1-9 for that lorry with the load of wood on”
Because of the way he said it and the fact that nobody I knew called a load of timber a load of wood, in CB talk, I immediately became suspicious. More so when he slowed down to let me pass him.

There’s me franticly trying to get the CB out when he comes flashing past and then pulls me into a lay by.
I’m thinking “that’s it my CBs gone and plus a fine”

Well in all my 45 years of driving I finally found a couple of good coppers.
They came running up to the cab (F89) before I could pull the CB, and they were having a good laugh, one of them jumped in the cab and informed me that they’d had a bad day and my little escapade had made their day much better.
With that they told me to go forth and multiply, but don’t get on that CB until you leave the county

at least they were up front lol

Hi Mickyblue, Can you remember if one of them was a ginger nut, as i had many a copy & eyeball with him around Wetherby in his jam sandwich Cheers Mel… I also had a run in with Foxy from the home office on the M62 Nr Hartshead Moor

I posted this in CB Handles

PS I remember the smoky at Wetherby having CB i only remember Ginger after i passed him at 85MPH & no i didn’t get a ticket

I don’t no them, but i was just commenting at the fact that they were up front and not beating around the bush

They certainly listen in over here, but they are not supposed to respond because it is a civilian channel. That said, we were heading north to a res with stripped trucks for the ice and the copper definately answered us.

Some states actually admit that they monitor CB channel 9, and most DOT scales have rigs and will communicate with you on them.
