Wide open main road.
I overtook a slow moving car
(I'm in the family diesel car -lol)
Cop car was pulling out of police station car park on opposite side of the road.
I went past and cop car came after me
I kept at 30 mph until blues and twos came on.
I pulled over, got out of car straight away.
Went over to cop car and she said do you know why I pulled you over I said no.
I was then asked the speed limit on the road - I answer 30mph
I was then asked how fast I was travelling - I answered 30mph
Because I had no documents on me I was put into back of cop car
(As I got into car I noticed the speedo was a standard Peugeot (uncalibrated) speedo)
She then said I was speeding
At this point I commented "on what piece of equipment did you verify my speed as the speedo in the cop car is not calibrated and there was no other equipment in the car ?"
She said that I am correct and that she is only going to give me a producer.
If I had been intimidated by the cops and co-ersed into saying I was doing 35mph then I would have prosecuted myself.
Moral to story - check out the equipment in the cop car as you get in the back
