Details shall we say softened, as My superiors have been known to browse the forum.
Just to explain at my level within the Industry I can choose between a Estate Car or Van.
I have spacious and quick Mondeo Estate. Full of tools I may add.
Anyway I was cruising back from Redruth towards Taunton.
When about Launston (Cornwall and Devon Border - A30 dual carriageway), I met up with a bright Red Seat (BMW size).
He and I then spent probably the next 45 miles happily swapping place whilst allowing those around us to do whatever before we then shot off!
Suffice to say We may of slightly exceeded the speed limit!;)
Just as you bear left to join the M5 Northbound I am in front of him. On the inside lane and He is on the Outside.
When in front of me a pensioner decides he wants to swap lanes early.
Boxing me in, As I start to slow down. I signal to my new friend that I would like to come out.
By indicating with my Right indicators.
Red Seat behind Flashes me to come out dropping back as he does so!
Only He's not flashing Me with his Headlight, But the hidden blue lights in his front Grill!!!
Yes I had a cruise for 40 odd miles with an unmarked Police Car!
I calmly move back across into the middle and then inside lane of the Motorway.
Red Seat Driver cruises up alongside smiles and then is gone!
Made my Day and reinforces a theory My wife and I have that if driving sensibly and safely.
Our traffic Police will not Always Nick You! ( If you sometimes go over 70mph.)
My wife had a similar experience on the M5 late at night.
So I cannot say for all of our country but we do seem to have some fair Traffic police here in the South West!
Still smiling about it Now!
I guarantee for those of us that ride Motorbikes will have similar stories.
I have but that's for another Day!
