i'm not bothered as long as they know what they're talking about.
traffic are a bit up their own arris, but do usually have a clue. i got pulled a while ago by a couple in a panda for undertaking on a dual carriageway(i was on the ZZR1100 at the time). i had entered a roundabout in lane 1 as they joined from my right in lane 2, they continued in lane 2 at 30mph(40mph limit) so i continued at 40mph in lane 1, as soon as i passed them the lights came on & i was directed to pull over.they pulled up in front of me on the forecourt of the local FIRE STATION, blocking at least one emergency exit. as the driver came across i asked if this would take long as i wasnt happy about being parked up in front of a FIRE STATION, his snotty reply was it was up to me. so i said OK i presume i'm being stopped for undertaking? he said yes, so i then said, ok give me the producer but if it goes to court i shall say in my defense that i didnt commit any offence & shall call myself as an expert witness, given that i am a DSA qualified bike instructor, Training officer with NAM . i shall also point out that you entered a roundabout whilst laughing & joking with your pal & proceded in the fast lane of a dual carriageway at 30 mph, you do know its not an offence to ride at the limit providing its safe to do so & if traffic is moving slowly in the outside lane?
at this point i think he realised he wasnt talking to a complete feckwit & started backtracking.
i then pointed out that i regularly train with the "lads" on the bike section & they all know my bike for miles around-its not hard to miss is it? so why would i deliberatly do something illigal in front of a cop car?
this was the point when sonny chucked in the towel with a "dont do it again-sir"
sometimes it IS what you know (as well as who you know)
