How many times have you been pulled over by the police and what happened?

I've only been pulled over once and this was for suspicious behavior :shock: I was lost and went round buckingham palace about 5 times trying to get my bearings. There was some kind of high security alert on and they pulled over my car into a coned off area. I explained I had got lost and I got a police escort to take me to the road I wanted!!! (He was just going off duty and took pity on me!)
 
I get pulled over frequently for the stupidest things. When I ask "what the problem orrificer" I usually get one of the following replies:

You do know that horn is illegal?
You do know its illegal to display a number on the door of your car? (I don't understand that one)
I have pulled you over due to the volume of your exhaust.

Or if the copper wants to be really annoying:

Nothing mate, I just wanted to have a look. :shock:
 
haha, you should autograph photos and store them in your glove box for when you are ppulled again, just give them one. :D

out of interest how do they know what your horn sounds like? :?
 
Best one i got pulled over for was my reg plate was squint, I went ape S**t. :evil:

They pull me for nothing then I ask why they done it? They couldn't give an answer. So he walked round the car and then told me my reg was squint!!

He didn't even give me a ticket for it, just the usual 7 days BS.

Typical boarders police, if there's no-one stealing cattle they got nowt to do, even the police in town laughed. Although they did stamp my 7 day ticket and said i should show that if i get pulled in the next few weeks. I threw it away and got pulled again :lol:
 
I got pulled over for doing 36 in a 30, but since the speedo is 10% out, I guess by my view I was doing roughly 40 - lol.
 
yesterday i was tootling slong down toward my house on a main road when i got a glimpse in my rear mirror of a police car with lights flashing.

i poo'd pants and quickly shifted over (after making sure that i wasn't doing anything illegal)

2 mins later and another comes along

and 3 mins later anothe comes along but i was stopped at traffic lights, which put me in a dilemma: the lights have a traffic light camera - where if i cross the line = £60 and 3 points. i'm at the front and the car is wanting to pass, what should i have done?

i eventually made my mind up and reversed it out the way :wink:

what would you have done?
 
That's a bad one.

You know if you went thru then you'd either have got a ticket and fine or had a whole load of hassle getting the ticket revoked.

Suppose if you had the police car reg it might make thinkgs easier but all the same it would be unwanted hassle.

I would have probably drove thru the lights but then thought I should ov reversed!

glad you've mentioned it because if it does happen to me I think I'll try and reverse first.

Cheers.
 
finished work again last night at half ten and driving home (on the very same road) loads of tits driving stupid. its been a long time since i drove late at night but a ford mondeo came charging past me at 65 mph in a 40, aswel as swerving between lanes.

i passed 4 police cars on my way home and none of them was bothered, one was level with me on a dual carriageway (i noticed and stuck to 40) but the mondeo progresively tore away. did the police sort him? did they buggery.
 
with a face like a slapped arse, a clapped out mondeo with at least 3 assorted bulbs missing from the rear lights and revving at traffic signals?

then again it is doncaster :lol:

Maybe hes "that guy" at the office (police station) that you dont mess with with :p

In Swansea, theres this kid who loves to race and his dad is the police superintendentt, so yeah he never gets pulled even when he races past cop cars, hes technically lost his license by now since hes been caught by 5 speed cameras (hes 17) but his dad "got rid" of them.
 
Haven't been pulled over by the police, yet.

Only encountered two police cars,

First on motorway doing 70mph in the slow lane whilst I was in the third.
All four lanes behind the police car were doing 70 and there was a huge clear stretch of motorway in front of cop. Naturally I got fed up at seeing that nice stretch and got up to 85mph moved into the empty lane next to the police car and went past.

Second, again on motorway, I was doing 95mph in the fourth lane when a police car came flying up behind me with his lights going, so I think crap and slow down to 80, then I'm stuck with a car doing the same speed as me in the 3rd lane and cop car behind so I got no where to go, again I get frustrated, boot it back up to 95 and go past this car and pull into the 3rd lane, cop car comes flying past cuts accross all 4 lanes up the hard shoulder and up the exit slip, then turns his lights off. :rolleyes:
 
Id rather have the police pull me over when I'm perfectly fine, but like this morning when (after drinking last night) I was tired and somewhat typsy, police attention was last on my wish list.
 
just finished work friday night at half ten, was on my way home and just overtook a scooter after being stuck behind ot for 3 miles.

booted it round a corner and low and behold copper coming opposite way.

spent 10 minutes with my eyes fixed in the rear view sweating... :rolleyes:
 
I made a similar mistake on a long stretch of A-road from where I used to work. I chose the wrong moment to overtake and was faced with a police car coming over the hill (unfortunately not a monster). After pulling back in, the officer gave a disapproving shake of the head and tootled on by.

Crashing into a police cruiser must be one of the worst things that could happen in a car.
 
I was very rude to 'em once, even though I had been going quickly.

"Is this your car, sir?"

"Tell you what, officer, you wouldn't have caught me in that if it wasn't!"

Cost me 3 points and forty quid back in 1993.
