Nice Policemans

a blue light on his head, riding a BMW 50 yards or so behind me.
Obviously time to be a good boy and do as the highway code says etc.
Come to a junction with traffic lights where the road changes from a
two lane dual carriageway to a three lane dual carriageway. I'm in
lane two, the new lane come in from the right, so lane two become the
middle lane. The cage in front in lane one decides to join middle lane
right in front of me. No signals just pulls out, bit daft thinks I but
no real problem, just had to use the brakes a little faster than
normal
BUT Mr Policeman thinks otherwise, he pulls up beside said cage,
knocks on his window and starts to give him a bollocking, moved closer
to hear the telling off. 'Didn't you see that motorcycle etc'. Cage
driver starts to make excuses, copper raises telling off level from
6/10 to 9/10, I thought he was going to book him. I smiled for a long
time, thank you Mr Policeman.

It is *lovely* when that happens. The road out of my local town is a 30
limit and heavily, heavily policed. It's never worth doing > 30 along,
but that doesn't stop them trying, bless 'em.
I was riding along it a while ago at 29.9999999999 (GPS verified) MPH,
with Nova-boi getting quite irate behind me, Eventually, he dragged past
me, and got it up to 50-ish *just* in time to meet the
man-wivva-hairdryer.
He got a cheery "pip-pip" on the horn and a wave as I passed.
Copper seemed quite amused.

My position was (and, to be honest, largely remains) one of complete ambiguity.

I had something similar once along in Chelsea. I had WVM right up my
arse but I had to slow down for a pedestrian crossing with a granny
brigade waiting to cross. WVM didn't see this until the last minute for
some bloody reason and shot past me with inches to spare and missed
racking up 200 points on the deathrace 2000 leaderboard.
What he failed to notice even more, was the fact that there were two
bike plod behind him that saw the whole event.
I gave the boys in blue a cheery wave too, when I rode past them as
they were ticketing WVM. :-)

I think I posted this before, but a few years ago a certain janitor was
on his way to meet me for coffee, on his home turf, on his green 9R, and
got severely cut up several times in a short distance by a half-blind
cunt. Said officer stopped him at a set of lights, tried to have a
polite conversation with the muppet, only to find said muppet telling
him to "go get fucked, and the same goes for all you bikers, you bunch
of wankers", or words to that effect. Production of a warrant card only
served to enrage the chap further, and he added "and you've got no
proof, you fucking cunt, so do your worst".
The masked man simply pulled a mobile from his pocket, rang a number,
and said "could you spool back CCTV 27 about 2 mins and tell me what you
see? Thanks. I'll wait".
As the driver's gaze slowly turned to see the overhead camera, some way
back, gales of laughter in the mobile's earpiece confirmed that the
incidents had indeed been caught on tape.
Chummy's face fell as the voice on the other end of the line choked back
the tears of mirth and screamed, through hoots of laughter, "take his
keys off him and we'll send a unit in 10 mins".
"It's such a shame we don't have a Christmas tape of outtakes" was our
man's comment to a now thoroughly downheartened twat, "coz that's
priceless. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go meet a mate for
coffee".

You admit to not driving like the HC says always?

Yonks back, on the M1 out of Lunnon, mildly shitty weather and hometime
for thousands, I was taking it easy filtering half-and-half and trickled
past a cop car in lane 2. There was a large space in front of said cop
wagon and I naturally slotted in there, ready to proceed. Just
approaching a junction (probably J8, iirc) when matey-boy in L3 decided
he'd just about missed his turnoff and tried to shoot across L2 with me
in it. I got out of the way sharpish and was most gratified to hear the
siren and see the lights in my mirrors as Plod took exception to matey.
What took me aback was the numptiness of the action, right in front of a
cop car he'd just overtaken.

Incorrect, Mr "invents an entire fantasy bike for months and swears
blind it really exists". heh; you're wrong *and* a loser; how fucked up
is that.
