Picture this, the other day I had to drive from West Yorkshire to Portsmouth. Weather was bad, traffic was atrocious and driving standards were even wosre (loads of lane hoggers). As I was cuttling across from the M1 to the M40, round Coventry ringroad, I came up behind yet another lane hogger in a BMW 530. I followed him for a bit, may be a bit closer than I should have been and he wouldn't pull over. Eventually he did give way and I passed him giving the w*nker sign as I went. A little further down the road, as I was about to pull in to turn off towards the M40, guess what, on come the blue lights in the BMW's front grill. I'd only given the w*nker sign to a couple of coppers! And these coppers weren't the usual ticket dispenser types either, they both had flak jackets, guns, battons etc. Propper armed to the teeth.Anyway, thankfully they let me off with a b*ll*cking for aggressive driving and I was an my best behaviour until I reached the M40. Anyone else got any embarassing driving stories? |

Well, giving such signals to the police is appropriate but not recommended. I trust you did mention that they'd also forgotten the highway code? |

I once got pulled over for speeding on the M621 and made the excuse to the lovely policeman that I was late for a hair appointment! It was the first thing I thought of! It didn't work |

I got pulled for speeding and used the excuse that "I was being pursued by some guys who I thought were going to beat me up!" I had to totally belittle myself and lose my dignity and that didn’t work either...... All you have to do to beat the speed rap is to manage Manchester Utd and tell the law you needed a crap! That simple! |

If you actually used the intelligence you attempt to make us think you have, you might by now have picked up on the fact that I don't drive! I presume if you were in the UK, you'd have to have B16 GOB or W4 NKA |
