I'm so outraged i have got to share this....
I was driving out of the Base this afternoon and came to a stop a set of traffic lights behind a police car. Lights changed, we pulled away and the police car moved over and i overtook him. Next thing i know he's behind me with lights going and telling me to pull over.
So i did so and he tells me that my driving style needs to change and he felt very intimidated with me behind him (even though we were stopped). I tried to make the point that he didnt see me drive anywhere as i drove out of the gates of the naval base and then the traffic lights are about half a mile, where he was already waiting at the lights, thus what did he see of my driving? Plus the fact that i was not exactly right up to his back bumper either.
He then did a slow walk round of the truck and told me that it was illegal that my rear brake lights were obscured by mud (havent cleaned the truck since the weekend). I again tried to stand my ground a bit by pointing out that i have got not only the indicators in the bumper but indicators in the D pillars precisely for that reason. There is so much light at the back of my truck there is just no way you couldnt see it! But he wouldnt have it and was set on giving me a bollocking.
So i just stood there and took it.....
WTF!
