Having no rear wiper.
I had a T5 follow me 25 miles, was pathetic he pulled me for having no rear wiper and said it was an offence.
i just didnt say anything and he was going to produce a ticket until i said its not a legal requirement.
He started going on dont get lippy etc im the law, so i pointed out he had a sidelight bulb out.
He said you young kids think you own the road and just walked off :S
i got his pc badge number, should i report or just leave it ?

What?? Sounds like a bit of a tosser tbh ...
If you didnt get anything, just leave it. Not worth the hassle IMO.

TBH if i had a policeman behind me for more than a mile i'd pull into a shop or something tbh and let him go annoy someone else
Report it, you never know but he might have 3 or 4 complaints in this month and he could get a warning/made to learn highway code + requirements again.

WTF. So does he go round all the older cars saying "oh no wiper ticket for you!". I'm very suprised the copper had a sidelight bulb out, i've never seen a police car that has a fault with it (except the peopel inside)

I do the same, even if ive done nothing wrong, if police come behind me ill pull over, pretend to make a phone call if they stop behind me, if there going to stop me, i might aswell just pull over straight away.

Yeah exactly Andy, that and its really off putting with them behind you
Nathy, I agree, they are meant to do spot checks before they leave the garage, ok its likely that it went whilst they were on patrol, but even i have a spare of each in the boot in case that happens. Been pulled over enough for lights out etc

Do it!! The fuckers shouldnt get away with being power crazy idiots.
I had a copper try grab me by the throat last year so when he did I floored him, went to court, explained that it was an instinctive reaction out of self defense as a hand on the throat is extremely threatening, got off with it, and then put in an official complaint against the scummy shit and hopefully he'll get the boot.
I respect the 1s that are out to help people but some of em are just weeds that were bullied at school and are trying to get there own back. KNOBS!!!!!

Ask him how most saloon cars on the road are legal then as non of them tend to have a rear wiper!

I've got a saloon with no rear wiper.
Twat of a cop. Was probably just bored.
Nice one, noticing his sidelight. I always check out the legality of cop cars when they're snooping around mine.
Spotted a few with questionable tyre tread.

I'd do it, I always forget when I have a badger of a copper speak to me on his high horse when he's in the wrong
Is 25 miles a typo though? Most I put up with was about 4 miles and I pulled in and he put the blues on and pulled in behind me, they have their beams up so high it fucks me off

MY VW Vento doesn't have a rear wiper! A lot of saloon cars don't!
I'd report him. Sounds like he needs to study the highway code

Report the bastard!! He is clearly one of those knob end coppers that think they can go around harrassing people! Dont let the prick get away with it! Hopefully he's had a few complaints against him so his position will be brought into question!
