Going to work last nite...

[paddlesat16]

So there I was going to work and decided to overtake a group4 money van and bmw car which was sat behind it......yep you guessed it..

as i got level with the large 5 series dark blue bmw.... I noticed all the blue lights and camera in the back window......doh

So i slowed to a crawl and pulled in front of the group4 van and slowley edged ahead of it..... the plod pulled out...

I thought oh well here comes the tug.....but no they overtook me and pissed off phew...

I overtook a Bedord Rascal van once on my 125 whilst going down a really steep hill. Man, it felt good!

Whenever I have a BMW/Vauxhall Astra/Ford Focus/Audi etc the common unmarked cars in front I tend to check for the extra aerials, second nearside mirror etc before trying to overtake.

However in Bristol we seem to have either: X5s, M5s, Skoda Octavia, Vauxhall Omega or Audi A3.

Be vigilant! . There are bloody loads of unmarked cars where I live.

I live in brum, they use a lot of bmw's but i generally don't take much notice as i leave for work at 23:15.. there's never much traffic or anybody about when i'm on the road.

The other day I was driving behind a marked car, he then pulled into a turning on the right, a dead end, and then pulled back out behind me...shit I thought! He sped up close behind me and then turned into the next turning on the right lol

[Kai.Wilson]

Was out with a mate last night and we pulled into this road which had like half speed bumps (like only cover half across) and my mate when slow so i passed him in the gap with cop sat behind me.

I shat myself he went blues an two.

Turns out they were following someone phew lol.

[Feasty]

This afternoon I had an ambulance in front of me on the way to work with it's blue's and two's going, roads weren't very busy and it wasn't going terribly fast. So I kept up with it and overtook several cars that had pulled over to let it past... until the last car was a newish Volvo with its lights on that made me shit myself thinking it was a cop car, it wasn't but I learnt not to do that again!

We have a few Volvo's and Volvo estates round my area that are undercover.

If you had looked when you passed them closely you would have seen them giving you a round of applause.

I do heroic overtakes on my 125 all the time, normally on the A27 when a big vehicle is doing 50MPH on the single lane sections. I love seeing the faces in the line of cars I overtake sitting behind the slow vehicle. Jealousy!

The other day a caravan owner flicked his lit cigarette at me as I was overtaking him on a sudden downhill sweep of the road where it also widens a bit.

How rude

ms51ves3: why does it need 500 miles? Are you teaching it how to be a piston?

I have chased someone before who flicked a fag out the window at me... Looking back if I could of kept up (was on the 125) I dunno what I'd have done. Probably knocked on his window had a stern word and then road off with my L-plate flapping away haha

I was doing 50 - 60 on a 30 road with a copper behind me the other day Nearly shit myself when I saw them in my mirrors. Didn't pull me though Might of been because it was down a hill on a county-ish road.

I've overtaken an ambulance with it's blues and twos going along an A road.

I did feel a bit of a dick, but it was going to be in my way for 20 miles if I didn't get past it and they don't get much speed up flat out.

TBH I did quite like dropping down screaming past it. Although I swear I could hear the silent thoughts of 'cunt' coming from everyone on the road at the time.

Common unmarked cars here in plymouth - Scoda Octavia/Black Volvo estate/Audi A3/Ford Focuses/Ford Mondeo ST!

They all have few things in common, most of them have 100% tinted back windows and they are always washed before they go out on duty. Also watch out for hidden blue lights on the roof.
