Re: Why?
I don't have a great deal of faith in the Police these days.
Two years ago I was heading up towards the A5 and, on approaching a roundabout, I moved over to the right as the arrows on the approach clearly indicated right-turners should do.
Coming up behind on my left was a Police car - not answering a call as far as I could see as there were no lights flashing - and they were in the left lane which clearly indicates
straight on at this roundabout.
Then then overtook me on the inside, cutting me up and so I tooted at them, because they were in the wrong!
They then slammed on the brakes and stopped in front of me.
Out got a copper that looked all of 12 years old and he strolled over to my car, oblivious to the chaos his manoeuvre was causing, and so I got out a told him that he was in the wrong at that roundabout.
I
was polite but I was b****y annoyed.
He just looked back, saw the road markings and said "You're right mate - but don't toot at me again or I'll 'ave ya for something, OK?!"
I was stunned and my wife was absolutely livid.
He was gone before I thought to take his numberplate but I saw his Police woman passenger laughing as they drove off. stevmk2
