The coppers were wearing uniforms - there were 2 one with a jacket on and the driver without. Neither wore their hats. The car was a Vauxall of some description - I think it was and Omega. I can't say anymore than that as it was dark where they stopped me.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1!Comment

Have they given you caution, ie anything you say can be used against you?
In principle its a fair cop thing, best to take points (3?) and fine.Comment

Originally posted by AtWAFAIK if a policeman has no hat then he has no powers of a policeman - he can't caution you or issue ticket. In effect (I believe) they had no more right to give you ticket as I do.

I recon getting pulled for speeding by a plain clothes cop car is also evidence of driving without due care and attention, and should be treated as severely.
Yet, they only give speeding tickets, so I would suggest you have got off lightly.Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

That could be a bit hard to prove as there were only 3 of us there i.e. me and 2 coppers.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

threaded - cops were uniformed (as they should), plus they did not charge with dangerous driving as speed was below 100 mph.
