I use the M27 a fair amount but all I see now are Range rovers looking like police vehicles driving up and down the motorway, never to be seen out of the slow lane.Please please, please change the look alittle before there's an accident. some drivers are unshore whether overtaking them maybe braking the law. most of the time there not even doing 70. BRAKING SUDDENLY CAUSES ACCIDENTS

They're HATO aren't they, the chaps who go along to breakdowns as a safety precaution and help where possible? They don't have a choice of what they drive so I doubt they have some inflated sense of authority.

The colouring is unfortunate but it's the sad muppet drivers who can't tell blue/ yellow from black/ yellow that need to be sorted out.

Agreed. But on the M27 these days you need to be more on the lookout for unmarked Skodas and the like, rather than battenburged T5s..

Not wanting to cause a fight, or generalise. In my experience, give a guy a vehicle with flashing lights or a uniform that looks mildly similar to the Police and they suddenly take an air of superiority. Usually ex-forces too.

All IMHO.

Completely concur with the fools who struggle to realise a Silver Range Rover with Black and yellow chequered paintwork is NOT a BIB.

hello all, anybody else seen an unmarked silver scooby on the M27? Spotted it with its blues on last week at J2 (A36) and by coincidence again today. Thought someone had been pulled over by a fully marked M5 but it was a silver scooby and only uniformed bodies walking about, no signs of a driver? they were probably taking it in turns to have a drive!

So as old shaun whats is face said "Keep em peeled"

I am reliably told that the "police wanabees" have speed monitoring devices fitted by their "big brothers" and are not allowed to exceed 56mph whilst on normal patrol, upped to 70mph when they are attending an incedent.

What really gets me is that they sit on the police mounds at the side of the motorway, or on overhead bridges, seemingly with their fingers up there arses, watching the traffic braking like idiots. What a waste of my tax dollar!

Rant over,
