Today about 5.00 I'm on my way home along the A47 in Peterborough. Inside lane is doing about 59.9mph, outside lane is doing 60mph as a UPS van is in the outside and cleat limited.
Anyway, outside lane goes UPS van, car, car. All travelling safely.
Then a Police car pulls on to the dual carriageway, immediately pulls into the outside lane and sits behind the end car. It managed about 45 seconds before on go the lights and sirens, the two cats pull in, the UPS van pulls in, the police car tears past. As soon as it clears the back up of traffic in maybe 20 seconds, lights off, sirens off, carries in at 70.
I'm sure many people will say there was clearly an emergency that resolved itself in 20 seconds, but I tend towards police abuse of powers.
I wish I owned a dash camera it was so blatant!
Any thoughts?
Just saying, AE14 CZB - marked white BMW estate - tut tut.
