getting pulled

[marcusd]

got pulled by traffic cops today at 11am he said car pinged me as having no licence, handed over plastic card licence, copper looked at it and said thats a good counterfit!!!!!! 45 mins later he comes back and says bad news they are taking my car and will be fined too, and also tow truck fees and impound fees to. then gets a call that agrees i poss have a full licence. i offered to take him to my place to show him every document i have to prove i have passed. wasn;t having it. anyway 1 hour and he let me go on my way after saying it was dvla not updating computers. i drove off and he continued to follow me even into a office carpark!!!! called dvla they said within 2 seconds i have full licence.

heres best part half hour ago dropped me lil sis at work way home see cop car behind so i cut thro side road he follows. 10 mins of following blue lights and get told to pull over. WTF is going on.
altho second copper wasn;t as smug as the first he did say it was unusual for a vtr to actually be insured to the person driving not a parent.
anyone else had similar

[Pieface]

Not up to the police to generalise on who's insured or anything. And I would make a complaint about the first officer about wasting time, and threatening you with loads of fee's for no reason.

Let's wait for the "I hate the fucking pigs" brigade to come along though and tell you that you should have beaten him up and stomped on his face cos he's a 'fucking pig'.

[Chr15]

lol Pieface.

You're right Im afraid.

[marcusd]

he was ready to take car as no computer was able to prove my full licence. second cop was ok he was having a laugh about insurance and stuff. but first was just a smug basturd who seemed to just want a reason

[parsonsvtr52]

Not gonna say anything as crude as you should have filled him in cause lets face it, thats a bad idea. however, agreed you still should complain cause like pieface said, who are they to generalise and im sorry but alot of time saxo drivers are followed just for a few yuks at our expense looking for the easy pull

[steviee90]

unlucky, i havent actually been pulled in the saxo yet, ive had it six months and i was fgully expecting to get pulled over a hell of a lot, but sof ar i havent had any problems, must just be the police in different areas

[marcusd]

i told the first cop i had been pulled before and my licence wasn;t in question. first pull was cos a rear buld had gone. the cop replied with well it wasn;t traffic cops who pulled u then as they didn;t check licence.

[Ashleyp]

ive never even got a weird look from an officer

i dont understand the attitudes polive give to some people for the above reason

[PSPDan]

dw bout it bruv da pigs iz al c*nts. if dey pul me i smak em in da face n drive on. ya get me?

[dj_russell]

oh look health and safetys arrived, police made a mistake its not their fault they only nearly impounded a car etc for no reason then your expected to not have something to say when you know your all legal, and its not the 1st time i know somone was arrested for going mad after the police said the car wasnt insured when it was and they got put in a cell. yea thats fine perfectly acceptable behaviour cause i know if my car was getting impounded for fuckall on my way home from work id be very eager to hand the keys over because the police are the law and what they say gos because even though im fully legal i shouldnt play my face up as its not the polices fault, even though during all this the police will be complete bastards and treat you like a criminal.

ye fuk de police fuk de polize people who dont like the police are all chavs that go out to cause trouble, no get real the people who dont like the police include the elderly and middle aged people and anyone whos into their cars that gos to meets and does nothing wrong but gets penalised, because were not in a free country are we i shouldnt be aloud out after 9pm theres a curfew, if i didnt go to these places i wouldnt get pulled. im not aloud to enjoy my hobby i should have to stay inside like a 5 yearold. both sets of my grandparents dont like the police and the one side she is a catholic that gos to church that has 9 points on her licence the other side my nan and grandad who both dont agree with what i do or paticularly like my hobbies,they dont like my language and dont agree with most things i say and they are loverly people that you cant have a bad word to say, but they still dont like the police because they are crooked and they know it you cant argue with your elders theyve been here longer than us.

[marcusd]

love that above comment spot on!!!!!!

[marcusd]

and also only reason car wasn;t immediaty taken off me was because i produced the plastic licence(also cop said it was fake) if i didn;t produce it car would have been taken stright away no arguing. and left to me to pay all fee's cos of a mistake


so note to future pull overs make sure u got a licence on u for such cases might give u a lil leverage

[dj_russell]

love that above comment spot on!!!!!!

i tell you pal the day there is a curfew put on everyone and it will come at some point, that is the day i will become a criminal. the day high performance cars and anything to do with glorifieing speed is banned and top gears been took off. i think im going to become a terrorist. lmfao only joking about the last one but i will rack up a shit storm as there will be loads of car enthusiasts with nothing to do.

exactly youd of been left with paying the bill, but your not aloud to hate the police. tell you what id hate them then id slash a few police car tyres(that comes out of gordon browns pocket, or if you want our money, but at least he wont be buying himself a spannish dancer toilet roll holder with it that week hell be buying a few tyres) and im a loverly person i build up a bad picture im completely the opposite but when provoked by anyone against the word "fun" i see red and if they fuck my fun up when im not doing anyone harm ill do harm and give them something to call me a criminal for. and stomping on a police officers face is not right nomatter how they mouth of at you i dont condone that, but if they hit you 1st when theyve given you abuse or pinned you up your car and said stuff like i can do what i want i am the law, i think your entitled to wallop them back at least they wont go down for it if you hit them back you would do time yet they assault people who arnt even violent towards them and get away with it. if youve been caught racing or wheelspinning youve been had fair and square and theres no disputing but when they hand a sec 59 to you for nothing or swear at you and make threats thats what i dont like and thats what gos on.

[HaZz]

im hoping to get a saxo vtr as my second car and ill only be 18 when i get it so i am expecting to be pulled a lot! in the town where i live its real small but there will always be cop cars driving about on a friday and saturday night normally where i would either be out driving with my friends or picking them up from the pub or something, so we shall see how often i get pulled.

[GoochyBoy]

i had a copper follow me for about 10minutes the other day...makes you paranoid.

again if your pulled over because youve been seen leaving a pub and they just want to make sure your not over the limit im for that if they are nice about it, not a problem im happy to help. its an inconvienience but its one you dont mind, unless they use it to check the car over even if it looks a respectable road legal car but has mods after theyve just suspected you of drinking.

[dj_russell]

and me lol i always feel like ive done something when i havent i keep thinking theyll pull me over and say ive done 1mph over the limit thats 3 points. if i suspect a police car tailing i go round the islands a few times if its a cop hell follow you round 3 times and then pull you lol. or i just indicate straight away and pull in and think oh well come on then what have i done.

you pulling over straight away must warrent him to think youve been doing something, surely? :P:panic:

[dj_russell]

you pulling over straight away must warrent him to think youve been doing something, surely? :P:panic:

probably but id rather get it out the way than have him do all his checks and follow me for a few miles i panic and go like jelly when driving makes me sweatand i know im not all over the reoad but i think shit did i swerve too much to the left etc round that grid. just dont like it they make me nervous.

[ixwill]

ye i got pulled today 3 pounts 60 quid fine only got 3 more left

[josh1989]

on the case of insurance, i had the weirdest stop ever, i got straight out the car as always and he just says 'whats your name' i repley instantly with 'josh' and he simply says 'great, on your way'

i was like wtf!

apparently lots of saxo and similar cars bein stolen in area and the way i had responded didn't alert the copper, don't know about you but if my car had been stolen i'd want the copper to dig a little deeper than that!!

[garyrsts2]

you should deff complain about the firt cop. did you happen to et a name from him at all?

[Easty]

i tell you pal the day there is a curfew put on everyone and it will come at some point, that is the day i will become a criminal. the day high performance cars and anything to do with glorifieing speed is banned and top gears been took off. i think im going to become a terrorist. lmfao only joking about the last one but i will rack up a shit storm as there will be loads of car enthusiasts with nothing to do.

There was a report in one of the newspapers recently about the DVLA computer having problems. As well as showing cars having no insurance, it was showing drivers has having no entitlement. Just do a Google searcg for DVLA computer problems

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/watchdog/2009/05/dvla_update.html

The police use the ANPR system linked to the DVLA. If the DVLA have made a mistake (which could have been rectified within the time you by the road with the police, hence it only took you two minutes to check), then the police will have that incorrect information to go on.

Had you paid any fees, these would have been refunded once the error had been spotted, so you would have been out of pocket temporarily. Not a nice situation I understand that, but you would have had your money back.

[river]

It winds me up to hear of police being unnecessarily tossers when pulling people over, but I don't buy this whole generalization is bad BS either. If a high % of saxos have no insurance then pulling over saxo's is just common sense.

What sane person is going to go....

Ohh Look a saxo, lot of those have no insurance. Young lad behind the wheel to, highest % of uninsured drivers is young lads. Still don't want to generalize, better pull that Mom+kid in the fiesta over.

[tipvts]

some one most have pissed in his corn flakes that morning;)

Yeah. or not...

Hes hardly generalising, might be speaking from experience.

And also, if he has reason to believe (i.e his data has told him) that someone is driving illegally, then he will continue to follow the procedures. cant really make a complaint because hes doing his job?

[Pieface]

No, if a suspect has offered to show him all the documentation to prove he is innocent, and the copper dismisses a normal driving license as a "good fake" then there is obviously a reason where a normal fair stop, turns to a copper just trying to pull someone over. Especially if he starts threatening him with fines, impounding and the lot even though he has all the correct paperwork available to get. If the driver is adamant he's got the paperwork then the copper should have given him a producer to come to the police station within the next week with all the relevant paperwork, rather than dismissing his card license as a fake.

Also if there was a well known problem with the DVLA website not updating then he should take that into consideration, not make the driver in trouble for no fault of his own, even though he found out straight away from DVLA he had a full license. The copper really should have rang the OPs insurance company, and if that shows that he is insured on a full license, and yet he isn't 100% then make him show a producer. But a card license, and insurance should give the police officer at least some reason to give him a producer rather than threatening with all the fines due to a known DVLA database problem.

[marcusd]

and just to also add, i;m 25 and def don;t look like a young driver. and have been pulled over a couple of time before hand for having a rear bulb out, and they didn;t seem to say i didn;t have a full licience and surely they;d check.
also held licience for a year and he seems to be the only one telling me that it was a problem. then 2 weeks later and def my fault i did blip it past a parked copper and got pulled she had a chat and started checks so told her about the last pull and she confirmed i had full licience and everything else and couldn;t see why he had problem sorting this as it involves another call to another computer or something.
i have no problem with gettign pulled for a reason or even for no reason but what i was pissed off with was the pure attitude of the copper had he not been such a tosser prob wouldn;t of started the rant.

[Phsyco_Paff]

Work this out was in my old xr2i fully legit and got pulled over was on me way home from work i get out. The copper gets out and says my cars not insured im like wtf.....

10mins or so later im still protesting my innocents i even offerd to drive to my house to prove i was insured by showing him the documents.........

then the next thing you no some one on the outher side of the duel carrage way shouts out wanker's lol

Then the copper just gave me my license back and said on your way and goes chaseing the ppl that called him a wanker.

[stinkycheese]

i got pulled by the fuzz once (very painfull) when i was in my 1.0l and when i asked why he had pulled me, he said ''coz your driving a saxo''. i laughed, thinking he was joking. He then pulled out a little black notepad with about 8 cars written down that he had pulled earlier in the day, about 6 of them were saxos, mostly for seatbelt offences.
True story.

btw i got pulled for having a drink. He gave me a warning. WTF are cup holders for!?

[Ryan]

i had a copper follow me for about 10minutes the other day...makes you paranoid.

They dont like it when you do the same in return :oops:

[pawnflake]

ive been pulled and followed so much but lets face it its the car we drive but i think its down to how we drive to i rag about sometimes drop it a gear leaving 4O to a 6O zone to 6O and you should expect to attract attention ive been pulled for speeding and stuff ive been let of every time simple give them all details never lie [to much] theyr not stupid but they dont no everything, couple of times theyve told me ok well we'll let u off becouse you pay your insurance and tax. if your a cocky little chav expect for them to crush u whilst in your car!.

[Ryan]

lol so its their fault you were doing more than twice the legal limit?

generally if there are no signs stating the speed limit you should take it as a 30.

[bald24]

Had police park opposite me today in Tescos, come out of the shop and their sitting there, probably doing checks etc. Gave me a dodgy look as well but they didn't call me over or anything.

[Gordi]

When a LAPD car is behind me i always feel like im going too slow even though im going 30mph and nearly crash from constantly checking my speed!!

Also when i drive my dads A4 Avant i get dodgey looks off them. passed some the other day going onto my estate they looked at me and then followed me but whn i pulled on my drive did a U-ey and drove off:homme:

[Nij]

Luckily for me it has been a long time since the police took an interest in me or my cars.
BUT when I was 18/19 I could almost guarantee to get pulled once a month for a producer, only once was I stopped for 'driving too fast for the conditions' as they said. I guess 18/19 year olds were not meant to drive Audi 80's?

[Pieface]

it is i gt 6 points in my first month of passing my test for doind 72 in a 30 but der were no signs and dark so how was i to no? nd the ova 3 for skipping a light

Lmao, please say you're not serious. Where apart from a Motorway can you go 70?

[Nij]

Lmao, please say you're not serious. Where apart from a Motorway can you go 70?

70 in a 30 - what makes me scared is a 30 is generally a built up area where kids and familys are! 6 points isnt enough!



Actually IIRC anything over double the speed limit is an instant ban?!?
Can anyone clarify this for me please?

[Mieran]

Should have cut him tbh.*

[Jordysport]

haha lmao, why were you doing 72 in an 30 as the absolute maximum speed it COULD of been would be 60, totally your fault am so relieved they caught you. my health insurance premiium is safe lol. can't see how you think its the police's fault lol.
