Speak to them the way you'd like to be spoken too and they're spot on.

I only get pulled when driving like a cock, drive normally and your fine
Edit, actually, I got pulled on the Mway, cos it showed up as no insurance, but explained I had just picked the car up, swapped insurance over, etc and they were sound.

I was pulled once when I had my interior light on, which was fair enough and they were right to do so.
I drove about for years in a black corsa with illegal tinted windows, a daft sunstrip and a stupid sounding induction kit and was never pulled once because I don't drive about like a prick or have a shite attitude with people in authority.

I got pulled on monday on my way into work, He came to the window and said this vechicle has no tax, Me looking confused said look in the window...he walked round the front to find it was taxed. Then told me the plates were illegal and ANPR cameras cant read them, to which I responded so how did yours read them to say I had no tax, he then breezed passed that point to look at my tyres which are due replacement I will give him that. Told him there getting done this week so he left it. Just a waist of my time really and made me late for work.

I got a VW Bora 1.9TDi Highline and get pulled over because i look young to drive it, Got it at 18 now 19.
Other times i had a debate with the police man because my plate is supposed to be F12 NDY but i chaned the spacing and put it like F1 2NDY. He said hes computer cant read it? But i said so if i went past a speed camera and got flashed i would get away with it? He said no... Just shot youself in the foot then havent you? Then reply'd just change them! LMFAO!!!

At least the police were there to protect innocent people from getting splashed by a complete knob.
How much has your insurance gone up with all the mods xa0s?

i have been pulled over a few times in the year i have been driving, been pulled for speeding and driving slow (10-12mph under speed limit) they followed me about 10 miles before they pulled me over, knew it was going to happen but wasnt too sure what for... laughed when he told me what for, i was driving suspiciously slow and he had "seen" me speeding up to the roundabout which was utter bullshit, then went on to say if i dont want to get pulled agan drive at the speed limit.. he was an absoloute prick who had nothing better to do at the time so he thought might as well pull me in my boy racer car : lol:

You shouldn't be driving at 10mph below the speed limit unless the conditions are such that it would dangerous to go any quicker.
Everyone driving well below the limit when safe to do so should be pulled.

I've never been pulled over or had a problem with police in the 2 and a bit years i've driving. Been followed and had police turn around after me, i presume their just using the anpr things and checking my car over. They probs have better things around here to do.

You dont have to drive to the limit. Its a LIMIT, not the speed you have to travel.

Got pulled for driving "irratically" at 3 am in Leeds in a Corsa.
Got pulled for "driving with no insurance" in leeds ( Black BMW, full of people) no suprise there tbh...
Got pulled a mile from house with brake light out. cops had to turn around and follow me to see it as they were traveling in opposite direction in a van..
Yet to be pulled over in the E39... look way to young to drive one!

I wish you could watch the times I've been pulled over like a soap on TV or something... you all presume i'm a cunt to them but its really not the case. i was and am always as polite as possible until they turn into a dick. and like i said the female copper was sound.

I got pulled over in Glasgow last week at a random check point, we spoke on the same level, he took all my details and once checked and everything came back OK I was let on my way. The police will be cunts with you if you give them lip, speak to them politely and they will be fine. They are doing a job at the end of the day and I'm sure if you phoned them when you really needed them you'd be glad to see them and not criticise them then.

20 in a 30 is a lot worse than 60 in a 70.
at least at 60 you can stick it in 5th/6th and cruise, 20mph seems to be between 2nd/3rd gear which is a pain in the arse.

You do however have to make progress. 30% less than the limit on a clear dry day is not making progress.

Only been pulled twice, once for "having a modified car" which after checking everything and radio through everything was fine. Othertime was random stop, both times no issues.
Otherday had dodgy experience. Was driving back on dual carrdieway was in outside lane poodling along as no traffic anywhere. An police officer booted up right behind me, bearing in mind other lane was empty I thought he was stopping me. So I just carried on looking in mirror waiting for indication for me to move but none.
So few mins later(seemed an eternity) I approach roundabout (still
No indication) so went in right lane as was turning right.
So he pulled up really close next to me, and mouthed "stupid fuxking cunt" I was so confused and shrugged. (he had stopped at traffic lights with blues an twos" then cut across me to turn right.
