fattb Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 (edited) Was driving home tonight on the M20, and got stuck behind a few cars in the outside lane, car one a ordinary looking Astra just sitting there not moving over, behind him a Range Rover right on his bumper, then a Bora, then me They speedup, then up slow down only gradually mind, this Astra is not moving over for love nor money, I'm heading down Wrotham hill now not yet at the M26 junction, i go past an Evo in the middle lane just cruising, the Bora then gets pissed off and decides to undertake using the inside lane because there is loads of space, dosen't do it quickly or aggressively as he does so the Astra speeds up, Bora moves into middle lane and the Astra keeps matching his speed and draws level blocking him as there is now another car in the middle lane, Astra then acclerates past the bora and other car the with the Rangey still sellotaped to his bumper, Bora decides he wants no more and stays in the middle lane the Astra pulls in at last , the Range rover speeds off into the distance, and the Evo is now behind me, I pull in to let the Evo past so I'm behind the Astra (hope your following this !) I then pull out to pass the Astra which i do, the Evo now decides to boot it so i follow with a short burst, Check my rear view mirror and there's the Astra blue lights hidden in the grill a blazing, Doh he must of just been egging everyone on for the sake of it, maybe he flashed the blue lights at the Bora as well, Anyway i pull over straight away he goes passed me and a van the Evo spots it and pulls in as well, the Astra cut's in in front of the Evo and eventually gets in the slow lane to turn off at Larkfield It was a bog standard Blue Astra and didn't look like it was kitted out at all at a glance, He didn't try to stop me or the Evo or the Speeding Range Rover for that matter. Does anyone think i should be waiting for letter through the post as i was briefly travelling quite quickly , or like me do you think it was just some off duty cops in a bad mood ? Sorry for the long rangey post Edited April 22, 2008 by fattb

Sorry for the long rangey post Could just be Kids, I go down that part of the M20 every day (used too untill 2 weeks ago) and saw an astra but light blue and it was just kids with blue lights in the grill they also had that silly green light underneth the car too. When I saw them it was about 11.30pm and thought I was being chased by a UFO a first as they had turned there front lights out and just had the blue lights and the green one. I just slowed down and let them go passed.

Garth W Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Thanks guys, do they actually have to stop you to issue an NIP then ? Yes they do
Garth W Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 I was prepared for the backlash by Granby, Yogi and Scoobyhoo!
pistonbroke2 Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 Yes they do I'm not sure thats entirley true, they have 14 days to issue notice of intended prosecution. Given the circumstances you described though, you have nothing to worry about.
Montythegod Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 My uncle was A fire officer on call, and the brigade gave him a car with lights and sirens behind the grills in case he got called out, that was an old VW passat.. was fun to borrow...... I have been flashed many a time by a Jaguar on the thanet way with lights behind the grill, and nothin come of it and as a youngun.. i also had blue lights behind my grill,,lol
granby Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 14 days gone no NIP Give it a few more days as i believe it's 14 days from when it's sent
