New Unmarked Car in N. Wales
 
I was warned by a friendly farmer about this, then spotted it myself nicking a chav for speeding in a 30 (one of my bugbears, so =D>) in Denbigh.

Audi A6 Avant (estate) TDi 3.0 in Silver with blacked out windows, reg no begins CX10.

The privacy glass will make it hard to spot from the rear, but an A6 Avant is quite rare, especially on a CX10 Welsh plate - they prefer A4s round here :) Treat Silver A6s with caution in N. Wales ;)

I treat most newish estates with caution when making progress. One of Cheshire's unmarked white debadged BMW 5 Series 3.0D estates (DK58 CPY) was around the Llangollen/Ruthin area earlier today. Saw the occupants (4) getting coffee at the Rhug Organic Farm and I'm guessing it was being used for training of some sort by the looks of them.

Chris,

That would have been a training car. Standard and advanced courses run with an instructor and three students.

I was in Bala the other day and Lancs turned up in a dark blue 330d. You would have to be really mental to be doing something serious enough to get a training car to try and prosecute you.

Pete ;)

Ah, didn't think so. Back to plan B, invent cloaking device for Sv :D

Just look at every car, pay attention, behave in the posted limits and look further down the road than before. Use the straights to relax and cruise, then enjoy the bendy bits. It's not rocket science!

Pete ;)

Cloaking device might not be such a good idea, as drivers might not see me :smt024

Good advice Pete, I was only pulling your leg, as I'm far too old and sensible to be doing anything mental. ;)

And Bugger me sideways , I go and get pulled by this very car today . 3 points and a £60 fine . Was doing 89 mph average up Rhuallt Hill on the A55 with a Pillion . I was perfectly behaved on the road right until after St.Asaph . I saw the car in front of me and overtook in a progressive manner and decided to open the taps a bit up the hill to clear past all the Caravans and Lorries . Got to the top and backed off to 70 mph . The Audi overtook me about a minute later and pulled in front of me and I knew there and then that I was gonna get pulled , I backed off to 60 just as the Blues came on and pulled into Caerwys slip road . He got out and my Pillion got off and I removed the lid . He said "Do you want the bad news or the bad news ?" I just laughed and said "Go on then" . He explained that my average was 89 mph and that he had followed me up Rhuallt and that if it wasn`t a Sunday then I may have just had a telling off , but Sundays are Zero Tolerance and "Operation Focus" was in effect . He made me an offer of a fixed penalty and 3 points and said I was remarkably good humoured about it all . I did explain that I have never had points ever and am not usually prone to giving it the berries , and that I was on my way to look at a car , handed him my licence . He actually apologised a few times to me as well which I found weird . Anyhooo , I got back on the bike and carried on up the slip road and re-joined the A55 on the other side and carried on my merry way . He appeared to carry on back around the roundabout as if he was gonna go back the other way , we saw a Police Bike doing the same thing a minute earlier . As it happens I carried on at a slower pace of around 65 mph whilst I mulled it all over and got it out of my system and resigned myself to the fact I had just increased my Insurance premium for a Car I had yet to buy ..... and blow me the same Police car came past me again . It was as if he waited a little bit and then decided to follow me again . Now in my Mirrors he went an entirely different direction , probably lurked for a minute to do something then joined the A55 , so if you do get pulled , don`t do an angry blast as you just may get a stiffer penalty .
