Some People...

Took the 125 in for its MoT today.(Passed!) Back lane shut, went the main road route. Just through the lights on the other side, someone tootling along at 30 odd. Completely oblivious to the two police cars with sirens, blue lights, & blowing horns stuck behind them. Be careful out there

Seems to be the norm Bru, good to hear that the 125 passed.
Whenever I hear a siren the first thing I do is check mirrors / look ahead and work out where the vehicle is, then start looking for a place to slow down / stop or pull off the road.
Not really rocket science but as you say some people......Who needs a signature anyway......

Or not oblivious, maybe the driver thought he/she absolutely must not exceed the speed limit with two police cars behind ...
When I still lived down south, waiting at a T-junction to pull out, I observed two fire engines with flashing blue lights pull out on to the forecourt of the fire station opposite. Car from my left dutifully stopped to allow the fire engines out, car from my right, driven by an old dear, could've stopped but didn't, drove in front of the fire engines. Fire engines then pulled out behind the old dear, now with sirens going. Old dear freaked, stopped her car beside a central refuge (so the fire engines couldn't get past), tried to pull over the kerb to the left, stalled her car, restarted it, tried to pull over the kerb again, stalled it again ... all this holding up the two fire engines ... But literally some twenty yards in front of her car was an (empty) bus stop layby. Eventually, the white helmet in the front fire engine had to get out, walk to the driver's side of the old dear's car and tell the clueless old bat to drive to the bus stop ...

"But literally some twenty yards in front of her car was an (empty) bus stop layby"
We have a layby at the front of our place I am no longer amazed when a car suddenly pulls over and......stops on the pavement.
Guess when they get the call or text they have to pull over immediatley - a few more yards to the layby would take too long.
At least they are not driving and using their mobile.Who needs a signature anyway......
