Where in the police driving manual does it say?
that traffic cops should pull out in frount of you at a roundabout with out giving way 4 foot from the frount of your car. causing you to do a emergency stop in the middel of the roudabout.
like the twat in the traffic car, did to me and the mrs today.

you should have smashed into it, and gone to a "claims direct" type firm and sued the arse off the stupid bastard for whiplash.
I'm fed up seeing local plods my way driving on the phone, or over solid white lines, or with defective lights. You dare not complain or you get marked for pulling up -- I know this to be true, as I went on a covert fast finding mission to a cop shop to see if I wanted to join. I found out loads, like the lists of people they INTEND to pull that shift......
rgds.

no dout they would have got away with it.
yes you aint wroung about harassment if you report them.
there lucky it was today and not last week as it was in a claped out run about im useing and only just put new pads in. if it had been last week they would have had one less patrol car wops i meant tax collecting car.
What wound me up was I was not a misstake the twat looked strait at us and pulled out on deleberetly.
Outlaw. I had Road Craft edited only a few weeks ago. Must have been typed on one of the keyboards that your supplier has
Addition was. 'wehn aproshing a roundout you must look out, Law says you should stop. Cheque to sea if any cars approach form the rite and if car is out, law is to stop.
Maybe someone misread it.

you may be right that i cant spell that great, but but I shaw can drive round a round about the correct way even if I have not recived the The so call advanced training that he has, but did not use.
But it still does not answer the question. Do you think that is exceptible behavior for a trafic patrol.
To look strait at a member of the public and drive strait out in fount of them, causeing them to do a emergency stop in the middel of the round about.
or do you think.
It was a correct display of advanced police driver training
What do you think the out come would have been. If he done to and older driver with slower reactions and ended up with a nice great dent in the driverd door
my guess is five more cars would turn up and the patrol car would be moved very fast,
so as they could cun up with a fitting story to blame the other driver.
Outlaw. I apologise for mocking what is obviously a frustrating problem for you. I also concur with what you say in that it wasn't acceptable behaviour, and no doubt if witnessed by the same crew, would at least attract advice.
However, just because they were Traffic drivers, does not make them infallible. Everyone makes mistakes. Even me
as I used to be conceited but now I am absolutely perfect 
I cannot attempt to give you a reason why they did it. That will forever remain with them. Suffice to offer you an apology from a colleague as I am. Fortunately you were obviously good enough and allert enough to plan past the mistake they made and avoid a 'coming together' for which I can tell you that they will be very very grateful

Most certainly they will, madcop.
Years ago I unfortunately had an incident at a roundabout in Kidderminster which was not my fault with a patrol car. (Cop thought I was leaving the roundabout (even though I wasn't indicating), I wasn't, he ran into the back of me.)
Very nasty for the poor bloke professionally, I expect. I wasn't treated badly by the officers who came to investigate, either - although I did need to drive over to the nick to make a statement.
His colleagues were "punishing" him for the error far worse than I could the whole time. "Hey, Everyone! Guess what old Bob did!!!!" etc etc

Outlaw just a small point you fail to mention. Did he by any chance happen to have a load of blue lights all flashing brightly on his roof and was his car making a really load ne nar noise? Because it certainly says in the Highway Code that if it was you should give way to him regardless of traffic signals. It not however you are correct and the word tosser springs to mind.

i would not have minded if it was a mistake and the had give a small shorry m8 wave.
that happed a few times I dont have any problem with a mistake as you say can happen to any one.
happend a few mouths back coming out of the car park cop car coming the other way bit to quick for the vison he had aroung the bend we were both able to stop
that he gave me a small shorry m8 wave and we both
no harm done
the point with this one was the driver looked strait at me and did it deliveratly because he thort the highway code did not apply to him
even if he had been running the blues and two`s
he would have been on dogy ground due to how close i was to him litraly feet.
to be honised iv seen marked car do some stuped shit mostly non traffic but to see this twat even suprised me.

You lot think the police are bad, try the f:sencored:g bus drivers.On drove straight into the side of me a few months ago and couild see me all the way(eye contact well before impact) he was 10mph or so me less than 30mph.Lucky i was in the Frontera and not the wedge, otherwise i may be or
.
Cannot say too much as still undergoing claims ect but after taking digi photo's of other buses causing near accidents at the same spot the admitted liability very quickly.

If the world is as small as they say my niece was the plod who attended your (or a very similar) accident in Kidder. The officer in question had a very hard time back at the nick.
Strangely said plodniece had virtually the same thing done to her when, in mufti, she drove around the roundabout on the way to work a few days later, laddo drove off but was recognised as using that route daily, he had a very nice reception next day.
2 coppers in a van pulled out infront of me at a junction, I was on the main road, they pulled out over a give way line. I have to seriously emergency stop and just about run off the road to avoid him, he had to do likewise. I shook my head and drove on, the F***er then pulled me 200 metres later and started giving me grief
'blah, blah, blah, but my van is difficult to drive'
"fine, but you did pull out infront of me right ?, you very nearly caused an accident, you made a mistake, perhaps you should apologise ?"
'and I drive long hours all day'
"again, you did pull out infront of me, so why are you stoipping me, shall we go to the station and have a word with your boss ?"
'I don't like your attitude sonny, rant, rave, power trip, bullshit'
At this point I got back in the car, wrote down the f***ers number and reg and drove off, never heard another thing.
Personal Responsability, not power trip
respact now at zero thanks to some spotty little pri*k with an attitude and driving competancy problem.
