What the hell is going on in here??
Good question.
The usual STW bitching!
OP was driving along, pulled out in front of a copper (in an unmarked car), then got irrate it sat on his ass for a while - and when the OP did pull over, the unmarked car flashed his police sign.
I reckon the idea the copper was trying to follow someone [b]without[/b] alerting the suspect (by showing the blues) is reasonable.
Bit of a non entity thead. We have no idea how close the Police was when you pulled out, what might have been a "tight but manageable space" to you could have had many of us bricking it.
I assume that the Police car was pretty close and moving quite fast as you pulled out, so he was extremely quickly right behind you during your overtake.
Personally, better to give plenty of room, much more than a "tight but manageable space"
Yeah - I accepted that much this morning xiphon.
I know I'm awesome. It's a burden I have to carry though.
Fortunately not very far if you don't drive...

The other day, the OP was a spoiled brat on the motorway. He came on here to whinge, but got spanked. He can't accept that and has now gone off on a tangent or something.
Appart from that I bet he's a rate nice fella. 😛
PS - feel free to join in the fun.

Odd version of events. Why not read the thread again?
Has this affected how you will behave next time you:
1) Think about whether to pul into a "tight but managable space"?
2) Are flashed by someone approaching from behind going faster than you are?
It will make me be sure to remember not to flick the other driver the bird like I almost did last night. 😳
johndoh - MemberOdd version of events. Why not read the thread again?
You ignore whingy brats not give them further attention man! 😆
With so many driving gods about, how is it that I see so many tossers on the roads?
A question for glupton.
Are you seriously saying that you have managed to maintain your driving skills, to such a level that can be described as "above that of the average civillian" despite you actively avoiding practicing and maintaining them for the last year?
A driver is annoyed that another driver is annoyed at a knobber pulling out on him
I don't come on here very often, so maybe somebody else could enlighten me - is Glupton for real, or is he just on a wind up??
Highly amusing thread either way.
Quick question to the OP, ok it was a unmarked police car but this " tight but manageable space " you moved into, would you have gone into it if it was a marked up police car ?
The M62 is a nightmare. I actually left a job because I was that fed up using it and have had loads of people pull into my braking space on there.
An ex 'advanced' driver who has not maintained his skill set in the past twelve months 🙄
Nothing worse than a 'has been' 🙄
Why so much displeasure, because you dont know what that policeman was doing and how covertly he was trying to achieve it till you drove into his closing gap as he sought to make progress ❗
When I become a 'has been' too, I will no longer consider myself to be an active advanced driver needing to make progress and will drive accordingly!
Gluptons such a good teacher, even his wife doesn't listen to the awesome advice and rear ended another car.
It's a bit stalkerish to post that on two different threads, but I find it so bloody funny!
The M62 is a nightmare
Not between J11 & J27; it's a dreamy place each day filled full of sublime driving skills and smooth flowing traffic. Not a single idiot on it.
Oddly, always coppers sat in the same place, every day, watching the same cars, each day, who in turn see the same coppers, each day.
Never quite understood that.
tinybits - I've reported your post. Negative use of the forum is against the rules.
Well it's not really, it's just reading what you write in different threads and laughing...
Ah well, it's funny enough that I don't mind the ban. Bye for now!
It is pretty funny.
The fact you reported it is even funnier though.
Hang on...whoreportedwhoforwhat? Does tinybits know something I don't?
"advanced" is a term they use when they describe a disease that is beyond treatment.
Is this reporting of another post some kind of in joke?
Or is it some kind of weird thing where glupton can dish it out but can't take it?

I've been reported for using the forum in a negative way. If you read up this page, you'll see what I said. It refers to another couple of driving threads over the last 5 days, and what my no1 fan posted.
Only I'm still here, so far not a warning. Maybe the mods are asleep!

Tinybits in 10hrs. Probably after a car chase.

Nah. I'm away for a bath.
In my experience people that proudly proclaim 'I don't suffer fools gladly' do so to try and justify the fact that their inability to interact with people means they are highly ineffective in most aspects of life.

Pfft. Car sharing? No chance; passenger seat space for pasta lunch & ipad.
Well - I was a driving instructor, driving instructor trainer, fleet trainer, and had every shade of advanced driving ticket for civilians. I think I know better than most on here.
I think I have the 'pleasure' of sharing the motorway with your ex-pupils most mornings and evenings 😉
