Hats Off To A Policeman

[xrotor]

Hi all, I'm not one to post on forums but I have just witnessed a great thing! I was on the eastern minding my own business when I noticed an unmarked silver ve. To all the ignorant drivers doing 90-95 in the right lane he would pull in behind them turn the lights on and make them move across. It was great to see!!!! This is the problem, this is what causes road rage and erratic driving/speeding, we need more police to teach etiquette on our roads like this guy

So hats off to you sir, job well done...

absolutly,

in the UK and allot of europe, common drivers will pull behind you and flash you back over if coastin in the overtaking lane and undertaking is frowned uppon. which is how it should be.

awesome, good to see

now they just need to crack down on grannies doing 40 km/h in a 70 zone (happened to me last night ffs)

He should be fining them, that would then be awesome and actually making a difference because hate to say it, but it was unlikely he was doing it to let them know they were in the wrong...

More likely all he wanted to do was get to the area around the Chandler fast as possible so he could set-up for revenue raising hour of people coming inbound/speeding like normal in the arvo.

Add to it that people may not have known what they were doing wrong unless he pulled them over and told them.

Being boxed in by these people is the most frustrating thing. Sometimes I get high beamed when I overtake them too...

Did the copper at least gesture to them as he was passing?

If so, good on him x2!

He pulled beside gestured and then once in front put his left indicator on. When we hit Alexandra pde I gave him the thumbs up and got one back!!

Legend!!!! Wish there were more like this though...

Mad dog.

I always hear stories of cops being dickheads to my mates. But then I realised a key fact oblivious at first.

My mates are dickheads themselves.

If they were cops they would be the nastiest fu(kers ever.

Attitude goes along way when dealing with the law.

Don't get caught doing something naughty. And they love the "Yes officer, no officer, 3 bags full officer"

I knew as I wrote this post someone would put a negative spin on the story as I would have but he clearly had no where to go as he sat in traffic on Alexandra pde. I was completely shocked to see it myself, but it was great!

Right hand lane is also a transit lane in morning peak hour...meaning if you are not a truck, taxi, commercial vehicle or dont have 2 or more people in your car you are not actually allowed in it...

Not that anybody ever pays attention to this....

i've actually seen people get pulled over for that.

Until police actually police it - ie - fining them - flashing some lights because he is in a hurry to get somewhere will do nothing to stop the problem.

Just means you sit behind them and get a nice run down the Eastern, i get that now and again, works well.
