Seem's to be a great increase in the number of "out-of-the-normal" type unmarked cars ...... time was the unmarked ones were still the same Volvo/BMW/Omega cars as the marked ones, but I saw a black Focus ST with lights flashing last week, there's a couple of silver Skoda's around, etc., cars one wouldn't normally "suspect" when coming up behind
Oh, and what happened last week to upset the Somerset & Avon boys
Of all the things I have ever lost, I miss my mind the most .....

Re: Heads up
I had a close call myself the other week, riding up the A30 towards exeter, decided to tuen off at Ottery for no reason, and infront were 2 silver skoda's, just noticed the blue D&C police sign on the rear quarter.
Could have been VERY painful.
Thank god for impulsion! lol

Re: Heads up
I think I saw it parked up in Redruth Tesco ( just off the A30ish
) a couple of weeks ago. Darkened windows around the back of the car, two 'plain' clothed chaps in the front looking far too casual to be reps on a jolly
, didn't get the reg but certainly looked like the coppers.

Re: Heads up
Yep... normally just the passenger side... Same as the Black BMW in Taunton that the armed response cops use.deej wrote:theres a dark blue volvo estate that trawls the m5/a30,its reg is 55 hmz i think and that has a blind spot mirror but only on the passenger sideMaver-Nick wrote:One thing I have noticed... they generally have a blind spot mirror on top of the wing mirrors.
