I can only assume that for some reason his ploy was to take the wind out of my sails by pulling me over in front of everyone - but only proceded to make himself look like a berk. Wasted both our time and I don't suppose he felt any better.

I did leave him a plume of smoke to inhale as I vtec'd to 70 after the layby...70 mind you, the natuional speed limit I believe
but would you have minded if you had been given a fine for an incorrect reg plate?

obviously you admit it is illegal.

Perhaps he only became a plod because he failed the traffic warden exams.

Edd's perfectly correct of course - I happen sometimes to think it's a weird-shaped bell curve!

No..his primary comment was to do with my head moving....

The number plate was an afterthought and he did not advise any corrective action thereby I could only assume it is acceptable.

He has a badge, and a hat....and presumably an inferiority complex, and he drives a van.

Our usual traffic police are top men, this bloke probably transports the dog food or something.

I thought that this was a thread about you attracting the attention of some nubile fitty with your top down

I'm out for beers with a copper from the Met tomorrow night so will try to mention this to him to see what he thinks ...should be interesting!!!

Worth reporting him?
I'd give it some serious thought.
It goes on too much imo.
