Hello i live in the UK today i was out riding and i accelerated pretty quick and hit around 38 MPH IN A 30, i slowed instantly after. all the sudden the black car was right up my back side, fearing the fact i then speed up to get a gap between me. something i should not have done, after that i turned up a road and he started following me dangerously close with full beams on by this point i maintained a legal speed and stayed at that, the car carried on following me for at least five roads still dangerously close and with beams on, i then pulled up a road that leads to a off road track as i felt alarmed this car was following me i noticed he stopped at the button of the road, they where plain clothed. after this point he stopped following me and i turned around and pulled into my road and house. i am really worried that i have been followed by a undercover police car, but at the same time i am not sure. i don't want points or a fine, i have never been pulled or be speeding before and i have never had points, been riding on CBTS for six years now. i could use some piece of mind or at least some knowledge on what to do. Sad Sad Sad Sad

I wouldn't worry too much. If they were unmarked traffic police, they would have stopped you. Any other unmarked police car is unlikely to be too worried about a relatively minor traffic offence.

I suspect it's more likely that you did something that upset the non-police driver (either real or something he imagined you did wrong), and they were following you trying to intimidate you.

Probs be ok, they never stopped you when they easily could. I wouldn't be worried personally.

Got caught by a camera van last year doing 48 in a 40 cost me £60 and a speed awareness course but no fine or points. The Missus was on the back at the time and gave me a telling off, in my defence I said " only 48 I am normally doing at least 70 along there". Surprised Laughing

thanks for the reply, i will add tho that the car was a black car, looked like a BMW ;/ from what i could see there were two people in the car, a man and woman. but this was a glance. I am worried that he may have been flowing to guide marked cars in to pull me ?. however when i turned around to back do the lane i went up they where gone not much more than a few seconds after i went up it. so i am assuming it was just some idiot ?

I wouldn't worry too much.

I've been absolutely convinced i've been caught 3 times in the past year and nothing came of it. Currently in the 'its coming' worry-stage, and no doubt nothing will come of it yet again.

You have a few points to play with - don't worry about it. If you did get caught nothings going to change it now either way.

Following you to 'guide marked cars' to you? For the huge crime of 38 in a 30? Really?? If he wanted to chat with you he'd have stopped you. You're fine, move on with your life.
Ps 6 years on cbts? The test isn't going to made any easier if that's what you're waiting for....

They followed you because they couldn't believe you have been riding CBT for so long, you're lucky you didn't get booked for wasting your life!

They were just distracting you from the stealth helicopter that was overhead.

If you have a CBT you have no license.

The 6 point rule only applies to full licenses and isn't a ban - it's a revoking of your entitlement; for example I've had my bike license years but only got a car license in December. If I score 6 points in the next two years I'll have my car entitlement revoked but still retain my bike entitlement / retain having a license.

On a CBT you can get 12 points before you lose your license. Losing your license means you have to reapply etc. and is different (worse) than having entitlements revoked.

One of the instructor's who I did CBT with all those years ago said his son was struggling for car insurance because he had scored 9 points on a CBT.

No you won't.

If you tot up 12 points you'll have it revoked. It doesn't start again.
