    I don't think they were traffic police, just coppers in cars. It happened to her 4 times. (Another friend has been stopped 5 times, each time they said they were letting her off "because she was pretty")Once they followed her all the way home when she was 8.5 months pregnant and while they were looking for something to book her for, they spoke openly to each other as to whether her tyres were legal etc. She was very frightened, not surprisingly. I know from personal experience that off-duty officers from this particular station used to be served in local pubs well after last-orders had been rung. Hopefully, as this was over 20 years ago, they've improved their standards a bit. As for libel, I haven't named them so I don't think that will stand up somehow. I've also said it was their reputation, not actual fact.

    Modern cars mostly have digital speedos

    Do they ??? I cant think of that many and the only one I have driven was the Vauxhall Insignia where it showed exactly the same as the needle and when matched against my sat nav was still around 5mph under at 70 (very easy to see though - it was the only thing about the car I liked)
