Ha reminds me of the times I've been pulled. Used to drive like a fanny and god knows how I've got a clean license.
Driving my 106 back to Edinburgh and pulled out of southwaite services. Police 5series coming off the motorway clocks me and follows me up the slip road so I sit at 70 patiently waiting to be pulled, nothing. Build up speed again to, erm, 90? And all of a sudden blue lights in my mirror. They pulled me because I reported my plates stolen a week earlier so were checking my car was legitimate, somehow overlooked the minor speeding offence!
Or the time I got pulled in glasgow just after painting the gti. Tried desperately to do me as the colour had changed and the dvla hadn't updated their details. Told them I'd sent the V5 away for amendment and one of them got out the van and phoned for advice, the missus heard him from the car asking if any offences had been committed?! Isnt that his job to know?
Got back in the van and they said they were giving me the benefit of the doubt but if I were to be seen in Glasgow after that without the updated documents I'd be arrested. Wtf? Let off because no offence had been committed, yet warned id be arrested for the same thing a week later?
Besides, dvla advise up to 6 weeks for changes to take place. What are you supposed to do? Not drive for 6 weeks..?
Plenty of comedy moments tbh, including when me and a pal dressed up as chavs for shits and giggles on a saturday night, got pulled and tried our hardest to explain WHY we were dressed like that at 3am in the 106
