Default Re: unmarked cars

Those links have missed a few cars that I'm aware of, most recently the Silver Octavia that pulled Quiff Wichard after NW3 (and also attended the accident at NW3).

I've also undertaken that Hilux (whilst over the speed limit) and can confirm that he's armed response, as he just gave me a roasting.

The funniest one I've seen so far is a really old Ford Fiesta (circa '97 model) in bright red.

If you rely on information posted on those sites, maybe it's time to consider two options:
1) Move house.
2) Ride a little more sensibly.

EDIT: Oh yea, that unmarked bike they talk about is actually a black 'Busa. Try outrunning him.

I just cant believe the effort that goes into fining motorists really.
The irony is that the ppl who are riding/driving like nutters generally are so aware that they avoid getting caught. They are actually the ppl who will be checking out the car in front before hooning past it.
Mr and Mrs ordinary will tootle past slightly above the limit because they are thinking about lasagne/work/kids/football and get nicked. Just my own limited knowledge of ppl around me that have been caught.
What would work is lots of speed cameras everywhere so that there was NO where left to go too fast in. Of course then there would be no convictions and no fines so wheres the commercial sense in that eh?
