Yesterday I spotted an unmarked silver police BMW on the M8 by Livingstone. Just thought I would give you all the heads up if you dont all ready know.

Take care.

There is also blue and burgundy ones and a silver Merc seen on the M77 .

About two weeks ago on my days at work I saw people getting stopped on the M77 every day by marked and unmarked cars.

We should all sleep safer tonight knowing dangerous insured and taxed criminals have received a few points and a fine.

Agreed although I go up and down the M77 twice every day and have not yet managed to break the speed limit due to cars that sit in the first overtaking lane going at the same speed as those in the first lane

will keep my eyes peeled for thr Merc - thanks

I'm looking forward to managing to break the limit on the M8. My last few trips have been a 50mph Q

How do you know they weren't untaxed, uninsured and wanted for murder?

The drivers appeared not to be wearing caps or Burberry and the Police are too busy to catch murderers when there is money to be made .

There has also been a mobile camera on a bike around Livingston recently**... the guy just parks up now and again and snap-snap.

**This info is 2nd hand, have not seen i myself but have heard from someone who has now seen it twice. Do not blame me for the accuracy if this info.

That's because half the drivers are farting about on their mobiles phoning their work saying they are running late because everybody is driving so slow for some reason

I've seen the silver bm a few times on the M8 near Livi. Recently saw a brown Audi A4 - very nearly overtook it but just caught the blue light in the rear window (reversing light size) in time to back off.

I've seen what looked like a camera car sitting on the bridge at Newton Mearns on the M77. Just before the 60 becomes a 70...

Watch out for the unmarked silver/grey Audi in Edinburgh that drives right up yer arse, which leads to you (i.e. me) putting your right foot down a bit too hard which in turn leads to two police men (luckily) having a laugh at your (i.e. my) expense

I'm sure the lawyer dudes will correct me, but is that not illegal? Is it not like entrapment or something? They are intimidating you into speeding?

Feckers!
