Surely if he hasn't shown you any ID, hasn't told you why you have been stopped and seemingly wasn't stopping you because there was an accident or incident up ahead then I would leave

There is surely not much they can do as to pull you over they have to have a valid reason and explain that to you. He may very well have but hasn't explained it so it's barely even a stop at this stage.Very odd that he said to wait though, if it was that serious that he had to run off it isn't going to be because his mate got a splinter

Do you have a brake light out?

I thought Beadle was no longer about.


Look for hidden TV crews.

Had an interesting one a bit like this.

Was driving along the seafront from Worthing to Lancing to get to practice with my band. Was going too fast, think about 38 in a 30 (feels ridiculous that it is a 30 at that time of night, not built up whatsoever and no one around for a mile, but rules is rules).

Got pulled over by a copper who had a speed gun in his hand, standing on the little island in the middle of the road by the Lancing Go Karting place, if you know it.

Was pulled into the car park alongside two other sheepish looking drivers, and another copper was slowly getting to each of us to issue tickets. Whilst he was with me, I could hear a car absolutely BELTING it up the road. Next thing I hear is the copper with the speed gun shouting at him to pull over. I hear the car accelerate and the driver shout "**** OFF" very loudly.

Speed gun copper runs back to their car, and my chap says off you go to me, as they both jump in to give pursuit. In their rush to leave, skidding wheels and all, they SCRAPE pretty badly on the side of the car behind me, another guy waiting to be given a ticket. Proper GTA stuff, the whole situation.

Needless to say, he didn't stick around and wait to be ticketed.

Have you got your trousers on?

Are you locked in with no means of escape?

[MENTION=12101]Mellotron[/MENTION] mate had the police crash into the back of his jam jar whilst stationary at some traffic lights. They said his brake lights were out and he was liable for the collision! Not sure how it ended up but I think he carried the can.

So the guy behind you had his car damaged - the police didn't stick around to apologise I guess?

Most of you are mad, the driver said he's done nothing wrong and you expect him to sit there for as long as it takes or spend time contacting THEM. Bollocks to them, if its anything serious they'll soon track him down.

I agree

I would have left as soon as the policeman drove off. You are not supposed to sit on the hard shoulder unless you have broken down

Leave if you need to leave and at your earliest convenience report to a police station and register the incident.
What? You have to be kidding.

Leave and get on with your life. I'd have left the minute the police left.

No need to hang about and certainly no waiting on the hard shoulder except in an emergency which this is not.
