What a fun time with the POLICE!

[Neil.]

driving along dual carige way at 80mph as ya do, see a police car parked up with light flashing in slow lane, so i slow down to the speed limit, there's cones after the police car making the dual carige way singlular. so i look for accident, but oh no.....this police man stands in middle of road and waves me into lay-by, with 3 police cars, normal van with police in it and police stood around, so, i wind down me window,

Police woman - Hello, just a ruteen check, can u turn off your engine please. Your name please?
Me - Neil Davison
Police woman - Address
Me - 67 **** Road, Dore(which is posh area round sheffield)
Police woman - oh, got a posh boy here?
Me - that what everyone says
Police woman - whats a posh boy like u driving a banger like this
Me - :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: dunno
Police woman - can i see your documents please
so i give her the documents, meanwhile 3 police people are looking round my car, tyres, underneith, tints, then this police man comes up, can i see in your boot please, so i get out and open it, (ive nothing in there as im in middle of sound deadening it) where's your spare wheel(i know i dont need one) I've taken it out as im doing my install, he then sees my subs on rear seats, bet that set u back a bit.
Police woman - ok can you drive forward so the guys in the van can do an emisions and lights check.
I think FVCK!!!!!! as i know it'd fail as im running 1.6 with 1.2 injection and no CAT....
so one guy sticks rod up my exit :o and other guy is asking for me sidelights, head lights, indicators etc....

then the guy doing emisions says................

everything is ok this end..

Police man - ok thanks, thats it, u can go now.

LMFAO @ Neil... fookin horrible them routine checks aint they.
not long after i passed my test i had a "debate" with a copper who was lookin over my car at one of those things as he wrote down that my car was orange... which it clearly wasnt > it was YELLOW!!! very very yellow. It had recently been polished so it was looking fantastic... really bright shiney yellow > he was having none of it... so i told him he was colour blind and rummaged in the glovebox and found something to do with the car from when it was new (came with the car from vauxhall apparently) and on it said YELLOW under the heading of COLOUR: :lol:

he still left it as orange on his sheet though.

your routene checks are a bit more vigorious than ours down here, normally just get asked for reg (while sitting in the car) driving licence, an sometimes get a producer when i first started driving i got pulled on a weekly basis but most of the coppers from this way know me an me car anyway :oops: so don't get stopped that often now

[wisewood]

thats not the normal copper wants to stop you for a routine thing though > we have them around here alot its like a sorta official inspection of the traffic and stuff to figure out what types of people use which roads and at what time... and while they are at it if they can do you for anything wrong with your car they will do.

[jatinder]

Never been pulled by a copper :D

[Will]

thats rubbish, how to waste your time and theirs! LOL

Neil i was up in totley nr dore about 4 weeks ago to go out in sheffield and watch the snooker up there!

lol

i hate when coppers do things like that, i know i dont drive but when i'm in my mates cars, it really annoys me. some coppers can be well rude aswell which really really annoys me. and then coz they think i look suspicious they search me for drugs. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

[Stuart]

ive been pulled once, 11ish at nite around xmas time. got breathalised in the volvo. had a chat about "what do you do?" etc, told him i was doing automotive electronics engieering , and then asked them what the top end of their car was etc, they were a bit bemused that i was relaxed and chatty with them lol

swansea police dont seem to bother with "usual" drivers, its jsut the 10yr old car theives they get mildy concerened about.

the thing with the cones etc as Neil described though is common place up here > happened to me about 4 times now. Its a proper official survey they are doing, not just checking people out coz they dont like the look of em.

[novamark]

but most of the time it happened to me i was goin round in a bright yellow mk5 escort with a cherry bomb and loud sounds, i mean do they really think i'd be that bate?

[wisewood]

some people are though...

[novamark]

spose so. it jus annoys me coz i dont touch drugs and..... oh, it just annoys me.

[Wiggie]

dont lie, you do some quality deals! good shit too! :lol: :lol:

[Mel]

Unlucky mate...glad everything turned out alright tho...police seem to be spending too much time checking up on road users :?

[novamark]

oi! shut it wiggie!! :lol:
