The Scottish officer had a attitude and a half. I hadn't said a word to him yet he was Fing and blinding at me as soon as i stepped out of the car. Ever since, i've always been a bit cautious to how they will respond.

All in all, at the end of the day, they are only doing a job.

You're always going to have a copper that thinks he's Mr Big Shot.

When I was pulled shortly after passing, for having my fogs on (yeah, yeah alright

), the copper who pulled me was fine, told me not to do it again, etc... But then his "pal" in the car decided to start looking through the car... Found nothing and I could see he was angry at that, so he tried to do me on anything he could... He failed.

I just laugh it off... As long as you're not in the wrong, you've nothing to be worried about.

Oh and we all make mistakes.

never pulled in the 2 years I owned mine. and i drove fairly swiftly at times. All legal though.

saxova · 14th December 2011, 22:04

All good, people make bad decisions! That was honestly the 1st time I drove while drunk. 2 miles.. and got caught, just my luck

And yeah the 9 month no driving was a killer. Saved mega bucks tho..

saxova · 14th December 2011, 22:17

lmao. I was perfectly able to drive, felt normal.

I only made the choice as I had alcohol in me.

LOL. Sounds like the copper was a lad.

skids_vts · 14th December 2011, 22:57

I was actually pulled in the same vtr come to think of it.
Was going into cardiff city centre, copper had me with a gun doing 37 in a 30. He the proceeded to tell me that it was coming up on the PNC that i had no insurance.Ah brilliant, thought i was gonna get done for speeding and no insurance. All he said was slow down in the city centre and if i havent got insurance make sure i get some.

Went home and checked my insurance docs and it said my registration started with MV53 and not WV53!! I had actually been driving round for 2 months with no insurance. The stupid insurance company where insuring a car that didnt even exist.

Only get pulled if you drive like you"ve "robbed" the car.......

billyvtr93 · 15th December 2011, 09:20

I saw a black vtr owner get pulled over last night and he started shouting at the copper, swearing, accusing him of following him everywhere.............and guess what, the copper didn't take too nicely to it and I saw him write some sort of slip out to him, a producer probably. However I was sat 2 cars away in my similar black vtr, and a gold vtr was also in the same car park and neither of us got even looked at, because we had our engines off and didn't start mouthing off at him. If you drive sensibly and don't draw attention to yourself the police will not pull you all the time, they're only doing there job at the end of the day

I got pulled over last night because the mx5 bottomed out on a bump and threw some sparks.

He was class, checked all my docs, had a chat about the car and advised me to raise it a bit. The whole thing took about 10 mins and not once did anybody get annoyed or change their mood.

I'm yet to be pulled over by a dick. Even when they start off a bit cocky they soon realise I'm a decent lad and change their tune.

Team police!

Sophia_Bush · 15th December 2011, 12:22

never been pulled in a saxo or 106 just for the sake of it only when I went a bit fast but that was totally my fault

Carlvtr88 · 16th December 2011, 10:44

He took it to his car then came back, threw it at me and said forget it. I think i High priority call came in. Thats it. Never been pulled Since.

vtrmann · 16th December 2011, 19:47

too right. id love it if someone tried to enter my house, would probably end up with a crossbow bolt in their back with a great dane hangin off their throat lol.

opee · 16th December 2011, 23:27

not in a Saxo. but in an xr2 and an xr2i. neither speeding or driving dumb.

"we've had reports of a stolen xr2" really? did it match my plate?

"you looked at me strange as you went passed" - I was driving home from work at 2am. The female police woman was apologetic and agreed if I was an old lady in a Rover she wouldn't have pulled me.

saxo-parts · 16th December 2011, 23:56

oh no rambo has a pellet gun lol

LSOfreak · 17th December 2011, 04:00

i dont get targetted enough in my opinion. Always driving at dodgy hours of the night with a car full of lads in a lowered saxo with a big exhaust. And the police always come up behind me but they never pull me over

my friends in 'normal' standard cars get pulled all the time though.

I just dont understand why they dont pull me over tbh

Maybe they can see your a good driver and dont slip under pressure, but i maybe your makes muck up a tiny bit and pulled.

LSOfreak · 17th December 2011, 10:58

hmmm possibly. i just dont understand it. If i was a policeman id pull some chav saxo in the early hours of the morning lol

citroen_saxo_vtr · 17th December 2011, 13:12

With my od vtr i got pulled up a fair but i admit that caused by being a dick then they targeted me. With my last saxo i only got pulled up 3 times in 2 years but one time i was doing a little bit over the speed and the other 2 wanted to know why i was so far from home at 2 in the morning so id say you dont get targeted if you dont be a clown or are known by them. Iv had the vectra since august and not been stopped once, they dont take any notice of it so the saxos do play a little part in it as people have said because young drivers etc.
