police doing my head 182

[a17tav]

Yesterday i was driving home from the gym at 845pm and was pulled by the police for driving in really bad weather conditions with my fog lamps on after being questions and questions who what where why al about the 182 they finally fined me 30 notes (ford st 24 mon est) police man and women all i got from the woman was that she couldnt afford the car i am drive so!!!

Today fealing 30 notes lighter i was followed for a mile i then i pulled up as he was starting to do my head in! i got out the car look at them (3 police men in focus est) then they drove off......

Live in Nottingham area what you all think!!!!!!!!

Cheers P

[a17tav]

[Liam]

do you look young and or were you wearing a baseball cap etc?

 

[182_blue]

ps your diction is awfull

 

[a17tav]

im aware it wasnt foggy just a bad night! and i understand i shouldnt have had them on but there just doing my head in! im 23 almost 24 yesterday i had casual gear on and tonight a suit!

 

[ChrisM]

Its a fineable offence to drive with your foglights on when the visibility is not less than 100m due to FOG.

Its also irritating to all other road users.

 

[Leeroy]

Havent you just answered your own question then? "Im aware it wasnt foggy.........i shouldnt have had them on"

Case closed in my eyes?

 

[Liam]

Ive never given someone a fine for fogs, usually advice only.

(to be honest the fogs on a lot of cars, including clios arnt too bad. They dont annoy me when they are driving behind me. The rears are much worse. But its having them on thats the offence not annoying other road users)

perhaps he failed the attitude test

yup agree. cant understand y people drive with fog when it aint foggy. the only time i ever do it is (as i live in the new forest) down some of the little lanes at night as it gives a wider spread to see any animals, which is understandable i think

 

[clioman]

coz they would of heard your reg over the radio last night so they were following to make sure you wasnt doing anything else wrong.

 

[a17tav]

i was doing 27mph and had my fogs off! im learning my lesson!

 

[harv172]

know wot u mean mate, police can be arseholes when they want to be. unfortunately there is nothing you or I can do about it.

 

[Ben j]

lol - next theyll pull you for holding up traffic!

[andy_leitch]

Maybe they wanted to shove their c*cks up your exhaust pipes???

Police these days take too many liberties.

er anyone can be an areshole !!!, if he hadnt had his fogs on he would have been ok

 

[a17tav]

thing is though i understand we all have do a job. i think the 30 pound fine was a bit much really! i asked what the fine would be spent on i was told road sufaces i thing lol

Wouldnt mind if hed pulled me for something serious like no seatbelt or tyres shot it! I would have learnt my lesson just the same by being told off!

Funny how they never checked the car! just moaned they couldnt afford one and went on about if i got a good deal when i said im sure where not hear to discuss if i got a good deal i was told just making the time of day what ever!

30 fine just makes me hate them!!

explain

 

[TheRoninV6]

Ive had a few probs with the old bill in the Notts area as well, im always getting stopped and checked, even though im obeying the law.

 

[a17tav]

purhaps they are jellous cause the 182 will fly compared to the focus est and st24 mondeo boring fords

 

[182_blue]

i have never had a problem

they probably playing car snooker

 

[a17tav]

gonna use my dad grey citroen that may get them off my case!

Theres so much variation with Police. Particularly when I had my Williams, I was followed regulalrly by traffic Police, but never pulled over. Theyd accerelerate up really close, presumably check my data/see if I panicked - and then back off. I got used to it and havent had it since selling what was an eye-catching car with gold wheels.

On the other hand, my friend with an S2000 was pulled over after Police followed him discreetly doing well over 100mph over many miles. He couldnt see them due to the soft-tops plastic window - and didnt notice them! When they pulled him over, the senior of the two let him off... to the annoyance of the junior officer who really wanted to do him! I cant believe it either!

Goes to show that Police have a lot of discretion and that how you act with them makes all the difference.

 

[a17tav]

he wrote the ticket before i said anything!

shoulda said tw*t! to him then! his mind was obviously made up already - lol

 

[Leeroy]

So you are angry with the police for giving you a ticket for a fineable offence? Pardon me if i find it hard to understand! The fact the police are following you may just be an act of coincidence or they wanna catch you again. Dont do it again, and quit bellyaching!

 

[a17tav]

its was laughable him saying he was just passing the time of day

and hes partner saying she couldnt afford one cause it was out of her price range that was the best yet!

 

[Darren S]

Im not having a go m8, as clearly I wasnt there, but unless youre really unlucky, I cant see the police pulling you over for no reason. In 13 years, Ive been pulled over once (like you, for having my front fogs on) and Im hardly Mr. Perfect Halo as a driver.

Were you being irratic - not indicating, changing lanes at the last minute, etc?

D.

 

[a17tav]

i understand that last night was a one off as i to has been driving for 7 years with no prob but not far from where i live there is to police cars one that pulled me yesterday and the one that followed me for 1 mile striaght sat be hind me for couple of min as i parked then drove off

 

[docter fox]

be sure to lock your door and close all windows

 

[Mattieuk]

Mate,

Not a fan of people driving round with fog lights on when it aint foggy. However Notts coppers are a unforgiving lot. As I have found out on many a occassion

r u a police man or something, so wot he had his fogs on, hed just come from bad weather he said. police take the piss full stop.

 

[Bryan]

oh some of the people make me laugh

complain about the police all day, then as soon as their car is damaged/stolen, who do they call? the police

grow up people, they are doing their job, you broke the law, accept the punishment

A17TAV - in all honesty, id say they pulled you to advise you, you failed the attitude test, which most cops act upon, they decided you were too much of an idiot for their liking, therefore gave you the fine, as you have already admitted, it wasnt foggy, therefore you know you broke the law, end of.

as for getting pulled in succession, its quite common, but most of the time its down to driver habits, which is why i think they were tailing you, although you were at 27mph, you were probably appearing to be too cautious, therefore something suspicous about the driving, anyone else would have just continued to drive lke they usually do

He didnt say he came from bad weather,he said it was a bad night and admits it wasnt foggy,therefore you saying so what he had his fog lights on is nonsense....fog lights are for...errr...fog,full stop.

By the sounds of it the Police acted within the law by pulling him and it was HIM taking the piss driving about with his fog lights on when by his own admission it wasnt foggy.

The Police did right,there are to many numpties driving about with fog lights on.That comment is in general by the way and not aimed at any individual.The question for these who do it is...Why ??????

 

[a17tav]

anyway i learnt my lesson cheers for your comment just hope they leave me alone from now on ill cruise at 27/28mph from now on!



cheers P
