that is a disgrace! Just when you need the emergency services most....
I got pulled on at A1 for doing an alleged 82 Tuts on the motorway in the R8 with Charlotte (my 3 year old) with me. Pulled in to the next layby. Charlotte has actually made a grab for the gear lever and rather than rip her hand off it I chose to gently remove it, but ignored my rear view to spot the crafty buggers on the entrance ramp, hit the anchors (wasn't sure of speed) - but anyway. (20 years without a conviction prior to this).
They guy asked if I minded getting out of the car to chat to him, as he felt he was exposed to danger, but wanted me to leave my 3 year old in the car on her own at the side of the A1 while we had a "valuable" chat.
On the flip side I do have friends who are current traffic cops from the Supercar Experience days and they are a good bunch. Their directives though are a bag of nonsense at times, and some of them have a bit of a "Hitler" complex. They tend to forget that not everyone they pull over is a criminal or wants to verbally abuse them......
Then there was the time that Pete Bennet and I got detained for 2 hours for overtaking 3 a breast round a corner (a ficticious event reported to the Police by some pikee). Despite us asking them to measure our cars and tell us how it was possible, it took them 2 hours to work out that the person who had reported it was deluded.
(PB- thinking about it the R8 must have been cursed
