Had a very strange encounter with the old bill today....
We'd been to Eastleigh with the works van and were driving back to Fareham. I'd just come to the end of the flyover that takes you over the A27 roundabout when a check of the mirrors revealed a silver police car rushing up on my off side.
I slowed down and pulled to the left to create a path for him to come through, as i checked my mirrors again, i saw more flashing lights approaching.
The car pulled up alongside me and an arm cover by a black jacket with the hand in a leather glove, came out of the window. The arm had a fluroscent yellow sleve, similar to the police high vis.
This arm signalled me over to the left, and in case i didn't get the message, the car forced me over aswell. The car then stopped in the middle of a dual carriageway and the arm signal changed to stop.
Several more metropolitan police vehicles then shot down the right hand side of me and onto the roundabout head, blocking traffic coming round.
The next vehicle in the convoy was an unmarked farmer style land rover, 06 reg and blacked out windows. This went racing down towards the roundabout well in excess of the speed limit and turned down towards Gosport.
The road was blocked for a few more seconds to allow a buffer zone behind the vehicle, then the rest of the police cars rushed off after it again
I'd bet money on that being the SAS or SBS in the landrover
