I was on the M53 today and I'm slowly catching up with a old model blue x5 4.4 with tinted windows. I get about 30ft from him and he swerves into my lane brakes and flashes 2 red strobe LEDs lights in the rear window, then accelerated away from me.


Very strange frightened the life out of me!

I cant believe it was anything official because of the bad driving, and only having red lights.

I had the "pleasure" of seeing that idiot a couple of weeks ago, just laughed at him and drove off smile doesnt matter how expensive the 4x4 it will always end up being more of a Birkenhead tractor than a Chelsea one

Think I have had the pleasure of seeing that vectra as well. Again, gunning it down the outside lane with the lights flashing.

Can't belong till a proper unmarked copper catches him.

I've been pulled on the 53! You see unmarked quite often to be fair.

Where abouts? Maybe up near the 56 end of it. But Liverpool / Wallasey end never?

Just after Bromborough Junction Northbound and it goes 3 lanes there is a bridge with a Parking Place on the side and I've seen Marked BiB there before.

Also Southbound I've seen a van and about 3 marked vehicles on a bridge at Ellesmere Port just after Vauxhall Turn Off.

But neither of these spots have been recent. Just ones that I HAVE seen.

Yep, I regularly use J1, 2 and 3. Seen fair few unmarked. Usually the PO54 plated black Vectra that I got pulled by having come off at J1.
