New Patrol cars for Hampshire
Discussion
Was speaking to a friend last week in Hampshire police who confirmed that they have just taken delivery of 3 brand new BMW X5's, and were planning to get a few more. So far, the current ones are unmarked, but watch out around Junc 6 M3, A303 and A34. Currently they have old shape and a few new shape T5's, but from what I was told, the BMW has been very impressive in the trials, so much so, it has resulted in orders being placed.
Incidently, Andover Plod reciently trashed their BMW 330di estate, smashing the suspension and putting it into a ditch!

Ah ha!
That would explain the black X5 I saw being very *progressive* last night.
There's a roundabout in Basingstoke where there are two lanes (1 and 2) where lane 1 can go left and lane 2 can go left or straight.
Progressive driving would call for using lane 2 if lane 1 was busy to make the left turn. I NEVER do this even though it is in the "manual" as it were because I have had numbers of numpties go straight on from the left lane (1) pushing me over to the right and around the roundabout for another try.
So anyway..the X5 makes the left turn from lane 2...I was thinking...I wonder if...
