Last night around 9pm Luke went to get a chinese which is in the nearest village about 3 or 4 miles away.
On the way home he was going through some woods (the road from ours into village is very dark and never busy) and he was quickly approached by a white T reg Almera up the rear. Next thing they occupent started flashing the headlights and a blue light which was mounted on the dash of the car.
This continued for about half a mile before the car then over took and sped off into the distance.
He then reported it to the police, as looks like it could of been car jackers/muggers !!
So if you are ever unsure and especially alone DONT PULL OVER

What if you call the police on your mobile whilst driving, will the send a patrol car out to intercept you and the fake car but then charge you with using a mobile and let the other car go?

No blue flashing lights but i've had 2 cars try and pull me up before, a clio overtook me and slammed on the brakes while a merc was up my arse flashing his lights. This went on for a mile, no choice but to floor it

What do you mean by bouncing headlights?... surely that'd be an MOT failure?

You can use your mobile in an emergency whilst driving and the Police cannot do you for it. It says so in the legislation (statutory defence)

the lights flash on and off in a sort of fast sequence, different to if you were just flashing your lights normally
