Was a GT as it could move - it left that BMW and I assume it was 6 pot derv - either 325 or 330

I saw the black smoke but the petrol's smoke like that under very hard accelerating

I thought it was a 170bhp diesel. He got the most of it anyway. I was quite impressed

I thought about the car too. I bet hire companies "lose" cars every now and then. Like this example. Car goes abroad, one person, one mobile - probably switched off by the time the hire company chase it up, no next of kin. How on earth would they find it again. It's probably still parked in Holland.

I saw this and had all the same thoughts, was a brilliant man.

Im sure the hire car would have been sorted by the people around him etc, Most likely went to a local place there, and they will keep it until somebody wants to hire a car from holland to the UK, at a massively discounted price. Happens all the time in America

I would hope they did but from recent experience I doubt it

One my guys in work was involved in a collision on the M56 recently in which a HGV dragged his 5 series under his trailer and also involved a young lady innocently caught up in the second lane

Basically traffic cops came and told him that he 30 mins to arrange removal from a carriage way or face a fine of £250

The young girl was on her own and the car was knackered and was told the same. She couldn't arrange removal in time so police arranged collection issued a fine of £250 but left her stranded.

It was great to see the police look after the old guy but from recent experience its the exception not the norm

When my 106 got stuck in those bad floods, the traffic police werent interested, they told me to move it, I said I wont be able to until the breakdown come and get it, they said that I needed to move it before that, no help at all.

Some pretty decent traffic coppers on that show, to be honest I think the traffic officers tend to be the best of the bunch, its the beat offices and PCO's that seem to have a chip on their shoulder..

I agree entirely with you on that one Davey.

With the exception of one normal copper (a desk Sargeant), ALL of the non-arsehole police officers that I have encountered over the years have either been Traffic Police, armed response, CID, or BTP.

Traffic seem to be a breed apart from the rest of the conventional, non specialist division police in my experience.

I think the things they encounter on the motorway might give them a different outlook and a different set of priorities.

But they are definitely a more compassionate bunch in my experience. Good lads.

Hats off to em for doing a tough job and with a fair minded approach.

Sounds like you've had some unusually bad luck with Traffic Steve.

When they stop you, do you tend to just call them cunts and then stare at them?

What do motorbike police come under? Got stopped by one of them whilst doing over 3 figures and he let me off

I had just driven a ferrari f430 scuderia around a track and was still on a massive high

Motorcycle coppers are an odd bunch.

They are like a special type of jack-booted nazi.

They seem to be under the misguided impression that they are a combination of one's Father and one's headmaster. And that they can speak to you in such a manner. And as though you were a badly behaved 5 year old.

Cunts basically in general

Im normally very polite. Always give them chance to use discretion first.
