Right,tonight coming into dunf from cowdenbeath had a panda car nip out infront of me coming along the road from cowdenbeath into crossgates,didnt think anything of it but held back,came into crossgates & slowed down to the 30 limit & followed him down to where the trafic lights are just at the road works,as he approched it turned to amber & with a good 3 cars lenghts turned to red,to which he drove straight through,eventually caught him up in dunf heading down to asdas & passed him in the slow moving trafic,came down to the car showroom on the left after asdas & he was in the right hand lane for going straight on,with nothing more than a quick flash of his indicator pulled into the left lane cutting infront of who ever was there so he could carry on his merry way making the rules up as he goes,


GRRR & they wonder why the polis dont have any respect in the comunity

Easy answer is to take the number of the vehicle and report it!

I did this with a police car that overtook me.
I was doing 60mph on a 2-way road in a national speed limit area. He overtook me doing about 80mph with no blue lights showing and he did it on a blind summit!

When I got further up the road he had stopped another vehicle, which turned out to be someone I work with, and issued him with a ticket for speeding!  :shock:

So, went I got to work I called the local police station and reported the incident.

The PC had to explain his actions to the duty sergeant then the sergeant had to call me at the Coastguard Station and explain why his PC had chosen to act in this reckless way!

One embarrassed Sergeant and one PC with a bent ear, a good night’s work!  :D

Oh, the chap that was stopped admitted speeding so couldn't complain about getting the ticket!

I saw an old bill driving in the opposite direction to me while using a mobile phone!

I had one following me really close behind the other day, doing about 50 in moderate traffic on a single carriageway road. Unfortunately I was in the wifes car with the kids in, if I'd been in the Disco on my own I'd have been very tempted to stand on the brakes I think.

The overall standard of Police driving certainly seems to have dropped in the Cambridgeshire area.

I believe the term is 'law unto themselves'

If we tried any of the above it would get us many fines and many points!

I'll assume that most (if not all?) of these examples are what used to be called 'Panda's, not the Traffic boys & girls in their Volvos, B&*W's, etc, as they're pretty damn good.

I was driving to work one morning down a narrow lane. It was 5 in the morning. It was dark. I was giving it some wellie since you would see the lights from another car and be able to slow down in time.

Went round a corner and nearly took out a police car. It was parked in the MIDDLE of the road, no lights on at all, and it had a policeman and a police woman doing acts of adult nature.

I managed to get out of a lot of scrapes for the next 2-3 years

wait till they start getting the people from Oakington as the new cheap police force ...... on another note there are only three traffic cars covering cambridgeshire at any one given time its no wonder there are an awful lot of non insured vehicles and non legal drivers on the roads round here nevermind thefts of landrovers and other 4x4s
