I've never been stopped and people who have fog lights on (called driving lamps or not) in a built up area in clear weather deserve to be stopped tbh.

I don't find them dazzling to be honest - and I think dad had forgotton.
I find vans/4x4's more dazzling as they're higher and the beam is right in the line of sight.

Sorry but
I think the Magistrates would be a bit busier if we needed a warrant every time we wanted to check a tyre.

strange, I dont find front fogs dazzling at all, because they are low down and facing at the road, I use mine on badly lit roads to look out for potholes etc and when people flash me i just flash them back, they are most likely a miserable c*nt with nothing better to do!

i'm guessing on the lines of "why are you driving an RS at 35?"
My grandad drives a RS2000 what would they say to him
Top fella I would have thought. 
Wait, is it a proper RS2000 Linch?

Jim, your 35?
And Dave, it is very cheeky to ask about you driving a Corsa at 27, he hasn't really got any reason to ask that, unless he thought you were into joy-riding?

Jesus Christ mate, that was hard to read. I know a few people like you who take the piss with them when they get pulled, especially if its just a random check and the copper is an arse.
Ive never had a producer myself, a T5 followed me home once and drove half a car length past me as i pulled up. He reversed back and asked me who i was, how long id had the car and who i was insured with. The second he heard the words "Norwich Union" he gave me a thumbs up and drove off

On another occasion i was coming out of work (dinner break) and i was heading onto the central motorway so i booted it down the slip road upto 70mph and as i glanced over i saw a T5 crusing up along side me. I maintained 70mph and he came past at 75/80 and the passenger looked and smiled as if he knew that if i hadnt of spotted them i wouldnt have booted it and got pulled.

i like to piss them off, only when they annoy me. ask them for copy of PACE etc, ask them all about your rights when being questioned etc. the more you ask them the funnir it can be.

Police are mongs.
Last time I got pulled, i was sound as with them but still got a producer and defective rectification slip, but I had an experienced copper and a total n0000b that he netted a catch for.
The n00b kept having to ask the experienced copper what to write on the tickets and what to do. Dull twat even read me my rights for having a headlight out
The experienced copper was a bit dim aswell to be honest..... as we got chattin when the n00b was filling out the form, I was going on about MPG and asked him the MPG on the Focus he was driving.
He replied "Its not a focus, its a mondeo and the MPG is amazing".
I said "No, thats a Focus...... lets go look at the badge"
He replied "Its not safe to do that here sir (i had been pulled on the side of the m4"
At the end of the shananigans I went to the back of their Focus and pulled the copper with me, and all he replied with was "Oh, so it is sir. On your way then"

In his opinion I was: " going so fast that I was flying and thought the car was going to take off" so heres a producer.

because some police are so set in their ways that they see certain cars and cant help but judge.

No, However they only have the right to search the inside of your car if they suspect you of carrying Stolen goods or drugs IIRC.

I got pulled on monday because "it wasn't my car" 
"yes it is my car, you pleb"
He asked for ID so I showed him my driver's license. He then told me it wasn't me on the picture So I pulled out my piece of shit 'works pass' (a shit thing printed on a bloody deskjet) and he accepted it

It's like anything, you get good and you get bad, just a bit worse if you get a bad one as they have authority and can go on a power trip.
