I must start by saying that this is in no way a dig at the 4X4 mob...now read on:-
On Saturday I had to go to the butcher's to get some dead animal for our Sunday roast. Having purchased a small lump of pig, I set off home. In order to leave the butcher's, I have to turn right out of a side-road onto an urban clearway with a mini-roundabout about 80 metres to my left. Checking both ways clear, I pulled out right, noticing a Beemer X5 coming in on the roundabout. I was under way and the 80m gap in a 30 limit should not have posed a problem - however, as I shifted up to third, I noticed that my interior mirror was filled with a pair of BMW Corporate nostrils, a glance in my door mirror revealed a bottle-blonde bimbette with a mobile glued to her ear, having a very heated conversation with someone. Outside a supermarket off of this road, some temporary traffic lights had been set up - these went to amber and I slowed for them. The bint in the Beemer was not going to be delayed, so she drove round me and through the lights as they went red. She then piled past the traffic waiting to go and, with no indication whatsoever, turned right into a side-road.
Imagine my delight as I noticed the two BiB in the V6 Sharalhambralaxy exiting the supermarket (from where they had probably purchased mineral water and a healthy carrot-baton snack - not Pepsi and donuts as many less-charitable souls may think!). On went the blues-and-twos and they followed the dead-head X5 driver who had turned off right. Out of interest, I decided to follow the pair of them to see if there was an outcome. The road in question is a mile-long straight with those lovely 'calming cushions' crapped all over it and it had taken the BiB over half the length of the straight to stop the X5. As I passed, I saw that the woman was still on her mobile and berating the officers to let her finish the call...

I would love to see the details of the charge-sheet!

If they did not have their doughnuts - then no one would pass the "attitude" test

IG wolfs down any doughnuts I may have made or bought whenever he visit und these are in my cakes tin






I hope they were most acid with her - especially over the tailgate und the Handy use.



What a muppet ...good call. Und she did not even stop when police obviously interested in pulling her for appallingly awful driving.

Just proves even more that we need these guys actually out there to see und bang to rights on spot.

But if you lose the driving plan - don't lose the COAST lesson.
Me?
Je ne regrette rien!

Utter tosh, sir. She was obviously pointing out to them that as she at no time exceeded the speed limit she was obviously perfectly safe and they should go and do something useful, like driving at 69mph in lane 1 of the M25.
