legrandefromage meets a traffic cop

[legrandefromage]

:roll:

Just a twitter style rant:

A black Renult Megane is polishing my rear bumper as I climb the steep hill out of my village to go get some fuel and check out the tip.

I mean he's close, not just 'ooh thats a bit near, Murtle!', I can only see the top of his bonnet in the mirror.

We have the A1M and the old A1 as a local service road, he follows me down that still glued to my back end, unable to overtake. About 1/4 mile from the Petrol station he overtakes myself and a Merc in front, them slams his anchors on and pulls into the petrol station. My first words to him as I fill up (£1.24) are 'you're a knob!' - he mutter something, stops filling and goes into to pay.

He's in front of me in the queue and when he pays I say 'you're an idiot driving like that - kids drive better than you'.

''Fk-off I'm a traffic cop I can do whatever I want''

:?

I give up....


Any way, I said 'you're a ******* idiot is what you are, give us your badge number then, if your are a real policeman'

that means if he is a dirty copper, my numberplate is up for random stops everytime I'm out

 

[saltyman]

should of slammed the anchors on and let him smash into you.

sure his superiors would be interested about his excuse for hitting someone.

 

[Easy_Rider]

Ah man that's wound me up something wrotten!! And the reason why I set up my camera to record my drives. Should dig it back out.

what a d1ck. probably not a copper though

i was out on my bike the other day climbing out of a nearby village. narrow road. car coming towards me and i can hear the burble of a loud exhause coming from behind. just as i think, "i hope he doesnt try and pass me here" barry in his bora comes flying past at about 45. about an inch off my elbow.

half out of anger and half out of shock i give him the mighty rods and shout out.

he stops his car and gives me a gobfull.

speaking to my mate in the same village and he's nearly crashed into his van too.

thing is, the idiot drives a modified bora, instantly recongisable and it is parked on the main road through the village. i hear its his mums car too so i might leave a note on the windscreen..

He's probably on his Mum's insurance then as a named driver and not main driver, which the insurance companies don't like :twisted:

These twats think it's their supreme Senna lightning reponses that saved them rather than the electronic gismos and mostly sheer luck! See so many idiots overtake around blind corners, I mean what are they thinking??

I'm not surprised to read that he is a police. Their all the same. One law for us and one for them. The Transport police got caught some time back giving their friends & family their free to travel cards. Just a slap on the wrist :evil:

I've know a few police and their the same. W@nkers

Put poo on the door handle .

A few years ago I was driving down some back roads as you do and ended up with a guy who seemed to want me to go much faster than I was as he was pretty close to the back of the car . I guess he wanted some kind of race because I was driving a stripped out mk1 escort but I decided to slow , to about 20mph

He got pissed off in the end and passed rapidly , so I gunned it . I was a damn sight closer to him than he was to me , I wouldn't have been surprised if we swapped paint through the twisties . Did it for long enough to prove the point , gave him a wave and slowed .

sounds like nothing more than a prize tw4t to me, and probably uses that excuse as a standard answer to try and shut people up, that comment on his driving prowess :roll: .

Although there feels like there's no love on this thread for the law, traffic officer's are trained to a very high standard, and not generally likely to drive like a55ole's on the road when they're not on duty.

Of course I may be wrong

Measured response there 'tintin'.

As GT-Steve noted above, Traffic police have very tough training and testing of their driving abilities.

Its not only their training that makes them better drivers, but also the nature of their job. They are often the first on the scene at serious traffic incidents and as such, witness first hand the devastation and carnage that can occur when drivers lose control and cars start bouncing off of each other.

Traffic officers that I've spoken to have been very straight in telling me that they didn't have to see too many badly mutilated corpses sat in driving seats before they re-assessed their own driving.
