...And please keep your eyes open if you're out and about in a police car!
Today, a funny thing happened on the way home from picking up my wife.
On the A1(M) towards the Hatfield tunnel, which is being renovated and with lane restrictions and a 40mph limit, I was pulling off the road but still in a 40mph restriction until the end of the sliproad; a van comes up behind me at speed and wants to try and nudge me to go faster. I don't, simply because the car in front is a fully marked police car!!
What happens next? Well, the van undertakes, using part of the hard shoulder and then tries to overtake the police car, which he does when it opens up near the roundabout!
What the hell is going on when a van can try and force a cop car over!
He then has to stop at red lights on the roundabout and the police car drive merely looks over at him and proceeds to turn off to the left, letting the crazy van driver continue pushing vehicles out of his way on the roundabout and into Hatfield.
If the cop took the registration and referred it to other units, I'd be shocked as he didn't seem to be doing anything at all - except looking rather shocked at what he'd just seen! The wife suggested he was probably returning to Police HQ in WGC to finish his shift, so turned a blind eye.
