Bus Lanes

[fil4362]

if its a crime to undertake then why didnt i get a ticket ?? if its not a crime then i can do it again. Then again i could have just got lucky and maybe will get a ticket next time. I pretty sure if you was on a road and the guy infront was on his phone yu would want to get past him!!

I would say you were just lucky. Undertaking IS a crime but, as with speeding, if it is a copper then he is human and can show discretion and just give you a verbal warning.

If I was in that situation I would certainly be very dubious about inside laning because if, as you say, he was on his phone then he is quite probably not even aware that you were behind him and is obviously paying scant attention to things around him.

He knew i was there i had flashed him enoguh to let him know i was there. The copper wasnt stationary he was behind me,i was paying so much attention to the idiot infront i didnt see it was a copper behind me i just saw the headlights.

I got some clown jamming the brakes on at me the other day. He was middle laning @ 50mph i drove up behind him moved intot he middle lane then out into the third lane. As i went across behind him i flashed my lights and gestured for him to get into the left lane. The idiot jammed his foot on the brakes. I must admit i did pull in a little early when i passed him and again jestured that he should be in the left lane. He simply flashed his lights at me and gave me a hand jesture back. This is a bug bare or mine when people bad driving affect my driving. I should have to change lanes all over the place to pass some clown who cant drive.

If its not illegal to pass on the left why did i get stopped for that very thing only 3 weeks ago??. i was on a dual carriageway posted 50 mph,there was a car in the ouside lane doing about 40 i couldnt work out what he was doing. It was only when i moved into the left lane and passed him, that i saw the copper waiting with his speed camera. I wasnt speeding but he stopped me anyway an told me of for passing on the left,If its not illegal to do then there would have been no cause to stop me at all surely. I didnt get a ticket but the copper said he was within his rights ot do so. So if its not illegal what was he giving me a ticket for??

I'm getting very confused here fil. In the above quote from your post you say the copper was waiting with his speed camera! On your latest post to this thread you say the copper was following you but you were unaware it was a copper. If he was following you how could he be "waiting with his speed camera"?

Two sperate insedents blending into one mate sorry. I been stopped for so much random stuff over the years it all blurs together. lol I used to get stopped in my 1969 escort because it was the type of vehicle that usually didnt have documents in order !! now hows that for a reason to get stopped. Took ages to finally get a copper to admit that one.

Copper was at road sid camera when he pulled me for undertaking. I got stopped on motor way, i was blatenly tail gating this guy who was very slow in the outside lane and wouldnt move. He even jestured for me to pass him on the left.

I used to record everytime i got stopped it used to happen so much. I used ot get just about every reason. I even been stopped for "looking Dodgey". i was driving round with my baby in the car it used to make her fall asleep. I passed the same copper 2 or 3 times going in random directions. This is why he stopped me. course i was driving round in random directions i wasnt going any where LOL
