    Being pulled by the cops

    Whats the most pathetic thing you have been pulled over by the law for?

    I just got pulled over for avoiding a pothole, he done a made turn in the road and hunted me down like a criminal then proceeded to treat me like one, in abit of a rush arent you, is this your car, do you have insurance, are you known to the police, do you have any points on your licence.

    All to which I answerd no im not in a rush i just didnt fancy damaging my car on that massive hole in the ground, to which he replied O well be carefull how you drive on you go.

    Re: Being pulled by the cops

    I got pulled over twice in a couple of hours last monday in my gtt...routine check apparantly?! Never been pulled at all since buying it until then.

    Both commented on how clean/rare car it is, then usual insurance/mot/tax questions, i know all this should be checked on the anpr before stopping. Nowt better to do me thinks.

    Re: Being pulled by the cops

    I've only been pulled once, and only then because I deserved it..

    Funny really, because all but 1 car (completely standard campus) I've owned I've probably looked too young to be driving, as it's either been GT Turbo lookalike, several GT Turbo's, a 200sx and two BMW's

    Re: Being pulled by the cops

    I got pulled over in the Clio so the Copper could see the car!! Said he'd never seen one in the flesh..He then told me never to worry about being chased as the Astras etc round these parts are only a 1.9 diesel..He told me to just floor it!

    Re: Being pulled by the cops

    I got pulled on the M5 doing 65 when running mine in, pretty soon after a curry night up near Jesus'. Guy was nice and basically wanted a nosey around the car, then he said... "when you set off, can you floor it? We'll watch you, we've had a bet..."

    Anyway i did, and 2 miles later they came up alingside all smiles and thumbs up

    Then after the last Brands Hatch outing i stopped off at the services to check the trailer and guess who pulled up for another chat... They kept asking if it had gone bang since they last saw it... blah blah the usual. Nothing better to do...

    Re: Being pulled by the cops

    Had a police officer jump into the road in front of me with his hand up once when going through the local town in the old Evo, I was doing 5-10mph & thought WTF.
    Apparently it was necessary to do this as my number plate was to small & illegal, which apparently he could give me points for I said go on then (it was a town bobby & I was getting a bit irate as I've shortened the convo a bit) when he couldn't do this he got on the radio to call in traffic, they must have been busy as he came back & sent me on my way

    Re: Being pulled by the cops

    I've been pulled over about 6 times in the last year. Always by the same retard copper in the same part of town. I've never done anything wrong, something to do with me being the best man at his wedding.

    Re: Being pulled by the cops

    I got pulled by the rozzers in my own village. Just got off my drive then on with the blue's n 2's.

    Started lecturing me about how inappropriate it was to drive with no seat belt and how it was not fair to other road users. I tried to explain myself but he kept rambleing on about how unpleasant it would be for him to have to knock on my door and explain to my missus about the accident where I'd died as a direct result of not wearing my seat belt. I tried to explain again, but on he went further about how he was a new cop in the village and things where going to get safer under his careful watchful eye.

    At this point I started rocking backwards and forwards as hard and as fast as I couI'm ld, he must have thought I was having a seizure. He asked, 'are you ok?' yup I replied, going nowhere with these harnesses on though. I had left the seatbelt in as it can be useful if you're just popping to the supermarket or just pulling round the corner. The look on his face did not change but as arrogant as you like he informed me that he would be watching out for me and I should be on my way.

    Re: Being pulled by the cops

    I was with my mate when he got pulled by a copper for wearing a baseball cap while driving when the copper said that I started to laugh. he got all arsey and said if I didn't take this serious he would arrest us both. then his partner finally got out the car told us how lucky we are they had just got a more important shout. must off been some paint drying somewhere.

    When I was 18-22 I use to get pulled almost every week for alsorts of silly reasons.

    Got stopped for being on the phone while sat in my car parked up on the kerb back in 98. copper said he had reports of me braking in to my own car. which was a rusty £100 ****ter of a Fiat uno. made me sit in there car as they searched my car for proof it belonged to me.

    Also got pulled for drink driving two times on the same road only two miles apart in the same journey. The second copper said yes there was a record of me being breathalysed already that night but I may of had a drink since then.

    but always found old coppers would just tell me to go on my way, young coppers had a point to prove and women coppers oh my god less I say about them the better

    But luckily with age thev have left me alone once n the last 8 years.

    Re: Being pulled by the cops

    I don't want to jinx myself (Opps!) but I've only been pulled over 3 times in 15 years of driving. The last time was 11 years ago when I'd just bought my gtt, and the car was still in the previous owner's name, and I'm not a female

    The 2 times previous to that were within a week of each other, in my old XR2. Once was a routine stop, and the other time the officer thought I was speeding because he could hear my exhaust
