Not in a scooby but years ago I had a Manta GTE, I had followed this to55er in a marked astra for 3 miles (including at speeds of 30mph on a dual carriageway in the outside lane with no traffic on the inside lane ) we came down a big hill into wycombe and theres a feeder lane to turn right that runs off of the outside lane, this was queued into the outside lane so mr Plod sits behind the traffic I carried on at the same speed down the nearside lane. Carried on at 30 mph because I knew the to55er was behind me and guess what got pulled for undertaking and speeding He gave me the lecture that he had been driving for 30 years or whatever and I told him that he was talking ****. not the best deffense I know but they let me go. The copper in the passenger seat wasn't interested in me and just admired my car

Dizzy,

From your post it seems that the Special was driving his own car and he requested you to stop and you did?

wacko

Never been pulled in the scoob..... was pulled in my Cherokee, and that was only 10 minutes after driving it off the forecourt!!! Police were doing spot checks on 4x4 drivers not wearing seatbelts at the time, and i got flagged down.

He was driving his own car.. we came to some lights and he got out and walked over to my car (big bloke), I of course **** myself as I've seen some bad road rage in Reading and he tapped on the window and showed my his badge (for all I knew it was some bit of plastic from the fair ).

Got pulled by a PC in an Astra the other day - my own fault though !!!

Was following this old boy doing about 20 mph down a narrow lane in a Toyota Camry estate. Got to a roundabout and checked right, (like you do...) then followed the old boy across the other side....road was clear so I nailed it to get past him (admittedly a bit narrow...)

slowed back to legal(ish) speed then got to a tee junction at the top and turned right. As I checked my rear view mirror, the old boy poodled up to thye junction followed by the member of Her Majesty's Thames Valley Police!!!

He must have been coming from the left hand junction and I was concentrating on the opportunity to overtake and hadn't spotted him!!!

Needless to say he caught me up and pulled me over. Asked 'Did I know why He'd pulled me?' at which point the old boy poodled past and I said 'yes, 'cos I overtook HIM!'

The old boy must have been laughing his socks off
("...There you go....he didn't get there any faster... ")

Cop also said the main reason he pulled me was a lot of Scoobs are nicked and he thought I'd clocked him and was trying to get away.
When he saw I was middle aged in a suit not seventeen in joggers and a baseball cap he obviously thought I was legit!!!:

Basically the cop just said 'Take it easy ' and let me go which I thought was a cool thing to do.

After all this, I caught the old boy up again about a mile later and had to sit behind him 'til he turned off!!! Dohh!!!

I got stopped by the Police in my old car Mondeo V6 and was complimented on my driving...unmarked Omega followed me for about 10 miles...was over speed limit on the 60 zones but through 50 and 40 bang on....thought I was in big bother when he stopped me...he said he thought I was going to go for it in the 60...always worth looking in yur rear view mirror!!!
