Try and not carry out the aforementioned to the wee silver Astra hogging the overtaking lane on the M8 between Bishopton and Glasgow........................dearie me, first time I've been pulled over in umpty years.

The guys were very pretty good about it to be honest.
Nae bother other than a two way lecture about me thinking they were the standard bawheid public retard and them saying I shouldn't be right up the arse of the vehicle in front................

top plod at the end tbh

:D Good guys.
 
A) Poor obs....:blast

B) Did they offer any explanation about why they were hogging the outside lane?
 
poor obs ?

to be fair to him the unmarked plod dont usually allow themselves to be seen in something as shitty as an astra :D:D

A) Guilty as charged on two counts.
1-My mate had JUST told me about the SF prefix to their number plate.
I had noticed the rest of it but failed to see the first bit..........:blast
To show how fair they were, one of the first things the passenger side dude said was....Do you know what the number plate on a Strathclyde police vehicle might look like?..............point, point, look look
SF said I more than a little tardily..................fcuk.
2 - They even took me round the back of the car to show me that I should have noticed the wee bit flashy light bar that protrudes down.

Poor Obs?? Fuck yea...................:blast:blast:blast

B) No, and I only thought to ask later. I had them pegged at just a smidge under 70. Their speedo is calibrated so I aint gonna argue.

thank fuck I never undertook. Was I tempted? Oh yes, but something kicked in so I never did. Think that's why I got away with it TBH

I flicked the V after the driving plod flicked me the bird when he was (apparently) turning off at GLA Airport. Turned out he was wagging his digit in admonishment.....oops Wrong call - the old peripheral aint that good after all.

Ach well, I thought it was worth a heads up in this neck of the woods Gerard.
Nought more, nought less.
You've got the unmarked cars too up your way?

Is undertaking that frowned on? I thought it was ok as long as it wasn't dangerous eg consistent speed, clear road etc. :nenau

I'm sure I've ridden with off-duty coppers who have undertaken vehicles.
 
And just in case you're ever in Idaho, their plod drive unmarked, green Siverado pickups, the big F-off ones that make ours look like dinky toys.
Don't ask me how I know. :augie

- BLUE! Saw them doing some twat in a pimped up Astra the other day. Obviously a speeding blitz going on as they had two speed traps on the way from Argyll to Glasgow and the same again on the way home in different spots.
 
Much as none of us liked to get nicked for being just a wee bit naughty
There REALLY is a need for unmarked polis
( prompted by a bit of the most horrifiying dangerous bit of driving i have seen for many years yesterday afternoon by some fecwit in a silver french reg motor on the A82 in the pissing rain just north of Tyndrum)
Some of these people simply need clearing off the road , as in BANNED
 
So we've all got to keep a special eye out for silver astras, (which may or may not have an SF prefix)(same as thousands of others), blue BMW estates, Vauxhall Sigmas (maybe), VW Passats, any colour Series 5 BMW....and especially not flick v's at them....OK with other motors??

Glad I know about the sneaky devils!!

Chances are it wasn't an enforcement car, just 2 bobbies travelling somewhere in a plain vanilla un-marked car....which could have been a Skoda, or a Focus or a....or a.... who got irritated by some-one travelling to close to them.

I think I'd have kept quiet about the whole thing.
