This is probably completely off-topic.
Came upon a police car today - on the A3 - just south of Hindhead.
Slowed up - as one does and followed it.
It was following another car - both sitting in the outside lane almost permanently.
I followed for ~10 miles- in the inside lane mainly - at speeds fluctuating between 60 and 85.
There was little traffic in the inside lane.
A stupid question. What would have happeneed if I undertook?

in response to mike's OT question

I was on a 30mph stretch of dual carriageway in the inside lane, in the outside lane ahead was a patrol car doing 30mph with nothing in front of it in either lane. as I was doing more than 30 I quickly caught up and slowed to 30 myself, but soon got bored and undertook at about 35mph - instant blues and twos, pulled over, documents, 'is this your car?' etc etc...

There's a road in Wyc that needs that then !

2 lanes coming up to traffic lights, and a little way after the right hand lane gradually hashes out down to one lane.

I come through the lights inthe right hand lane, see a space, position myself in it and maintain speed in the car spaced gap I am now in as the lanes narrow together (centre line disappears).

Car behind me accelerates alongside me and sits there. Down to one lane (although barely wide enough for 2 cars), and he's still there about 2mm from my wing mirror in his clapped out piece of shit.

Eventually i buckle and drop back, which he knew i would do to save my paintwork, safe in the knowledge that I hav a nice car and he has a tub of crap.

But honestly, all that hassle to get one car ahead - he broke the law, undertook, nearly caused an accident all for one car ! And I hadn't actually done anything wrong!
