The police that is, Friday night i was just going down to see some friends with the missus, when i passed a cop car pulling out of a junction 200 yards from my house, went passed at a relaxed 28-30mph. next thing i know this copper has sped up right up my arse. i'm thinking ok, if you want to pull me, just do it, don't know why but hey i've got nothing to hide!
anyway as i'm turning a corner i notice my yellow fogs on the edge of the curb (i haven't got an internal warning light that works) so i flick them off. realise this is why they are probably following me. anyway after 3/4 mile of sitting on my arse they pull me over. i jump out to find out why, they said that my fogs are dazzling, i said i know i turned them off, i don't use them but probably knocked them on when cleaning the dash earlier. they got really arsey and did a full computer check on me and the car kept me their for 30 mins! tossers could've just asked me to check my lights before i set off! Really pisses me off when you go 100yards down the road and there are loads of saxo's with their lights on intentially, how can they justify a full check and and 30mins just to warn me about my fog lights?

Ah right, well that’s a bit harsh…. Do you look like a dodgy fooker cause that can sometimes make them do the ‘works’ Rolling Eyes

I'd like to think not! and the car isn't a "boy racer" car it's all standard! i think they were pissed off when they took me round to the front off the car telling me my fogs were on when i had already switched them off!
