Driving back from the city centre last night at about 12.30, I was driving down a duel carriage(spelling?) way doing about 90mph, the car in my rearview looked like any normal car, so i continued at the same speed, when i got the the traffic lights it turned out to be a police car, who happend to have followed me down the whole way at the same speed! (50mph speed limit on that road)

Not signalling me or anything at the lights i continued on (police car still following), 100 meters up the road he put his lights on and flashed me, another 100meters up the road i found somewhere to pull in.

He asked me to get out the car, and get in the back of his... (shitting my pants at this point)

He asked me some questions about the car and about myself first...

He then asked me what speed i was doing previously (saying 60ish, was pretty stupid, as it was a 50mph road any way)

Both officers laffed and corrected me (doh, theyd obvisously been following alot longer than i orginally thought)

They both gave me a stern warning (doing the good cop bad cop thing pretty convincingly) and let me on my way. (if it had been a high way patrol car, it wud of recorded my speed, and i wud of got a 30day ban, and 6-9 points on my spotless license :<)

The other thing is, i usually tend to have a pint or 2 when i go town, last night i decided not too, although i had contumplated having one earlier!

What ive learned from this experiance, cops can be alright, and not to break the speed limit (obviously if i am, i should be a damn lot more aware!!)

phew!

Getting in back in my car i felt as if i got away with murder! i was pretty happy, and felt myself to be very lucky!
