Any other Saxo owners feel targeted by police?

Anyways you drive like a dick you attract a lot more attention from not just the police but other road users.

Another thing not too sure if this is right so someone correct me if i'm wrong but don't they have to have a reason to pull you?

they definatly DONT need a reason to stop you.. i got stopped few weeks ago and he said it was a general roadside check thing. he noticed i had a flat back tyre though and said he could give me a ticket but would rather just advise me to sort it out which i did do straight away so was tidy of him

This is harsh at times IMO, a flat tyre on the back could have been caused on your current journey and is generally harder to notice than the same happening on a front one. Some police are just out to make a nuisance of themselves exploiting their moral highground.
