Just got pulled by the cops, apparently they had a complaint about my driving from an off duty policeman that i overtook out in the country. Had a little chat to them, and they were both really nice, told me to take it as a warning and all i got was a producer. I toldf them i was speeding a bit cos i was late to get to my dads, and i know its not an excuse but at least its the truth, and they said they appreciated the honesty. Maybe just police in big cities that are dicks, but i needed a warning anyway to remind me!

police aint that bad really
one stopped me - told me they seen me going sideways off a roundabout and shoot off down the road 'took us a while to catch up to ya' give me a producer that was it
another - offduty - raced me on his bike - told me mate he passed me doing 140 waving 
and another - when i was playing in the snow, told me that people who dont spin in the snow are better drivers than people who do
all in all - cops round here are sound

We were playing in the snow once, they came for a look as there had been complaints, they just told us to calm down and left by doing a J turn on the way out. Nice one

I think alot depends on the individual policeman.... And what they are cracking down on at the time... Been pulled many of times and police have been really good and taken genuine interest in the car and stuff.....

that is a bit sad when people complain about you playing in the snow! were the snowmen rude or did you hit someone by accident with a snowball
