    It appears that the police have already decided that question.
    They may have been pulled for the aggressivive action after - lights flashing etc.

    If it was for the roundabout incident then they would have been pulled BEFORE they had a chance to catch up and act aggresively.

    Or even because there is now a clear view from the police car, it triggered the ANPR.

    Nobody, not even the OP, knows why they were stopped.

    !!!! = c**t, you'll have to type the actual word in yourself.

    Enjoy ;)

    This is FANTASTIC! I can't believe I haven't stumbled across the site before!!

    I HATE the "c word", normally but this site is genius in the extreme; cheered me up no end!

    The words that accompany the photos are brilliant too, SO funny.

    Thank you PP. x

    Just print some on normal paper and slip it under the windscreen wiper :D

    What is going through a driver's mind when they decide to park on a pavement? It would be funny if it wasn't so dangerous for pedestrians, especially wheelchair and pushchair users who are forced into the road. Do they think that yellow lines don't count if they park next to them rather than on top of them?:rotfl:

    Also, when did indication at roundabouts become optional? I understand that when there are no other highway users to see it might be pointless. Last time I checked the Highway Code pedestrians are highway users too. When someone is crossing a road at a roundabout, if you are not indicating that you want to turn into the road they might assume that you are continuing to the next exit and start to cross. :eek:

    And then there is the van driver I had to report to the police after he came very close to hitting me as he sailed through a red light while the green man was showing for me.:mad:

    Being a pedestrian in this country sucks. :A

    Completely agree. It's awful for blind people as well - and just as dangerous for them (and their guide dogs, if they have one) to have to step out into the road to avoid thoughtless parking. There's absolutely no excuse for it. x

    aw the link wouldn't work for me!
    My supervisor told me she would have reported the range rover driver the other day but I was so stunned to see the driver using a laptop while driving that I forgot to get the registration number!

    A PDF of their notice would be great - I could do with printing one out for someone at work who leave 2" between cars.

    You can use this if you want to - http://s750.photobucket.com/user/Rut...65178.jpg.html - but make sure you don't get spotted; not everyone will think it's funny and one of my friends was once sacked for calling a colleague (well, OK, his line manager) a c***... ;)

    You need to replace the !!!! in "www.http://youparklikea!!!!.com/" with the relevant naughty word for it to work... x
