While on my drive home from helping out at wimbourne folk festival I was stopped by the police. Their reason was because I was driving eratically (who me? never ) Now the reason why i drove eratically was because while driving some pillock in a Mazda Bongo 2 cars ahead of me decide to stop and turn left without warning or indication. So the car infont of me stopped quick, and so to avoid an accident I did the same. Because of those actions the police car behind me followed me for about half a mile, not indicating at 2 roundabouts while following. Then it put it's lights on so as a natural reaction I pulled over, closely followed by the police car. They said I pulled over a little too eratically too!! Well I saw a police car with its lights on behind me, I asumed it was on a call. Would they preferred me to dawdle along and block it from overtaking? So after a chat with to office itching to get me in handcuffs to fulfil his quota. He said he could smell alcohol on me, well I'd been working behind a busy bar for 5 hours I may have a smell of alcohol on me. I was let on my way with a warning and a the breathaliser test tube. What annoyed me most was that I when I told the officer the reasons for what I did I was ignored and assumed to be a drunk driver. I didn't bother to argue my case any further as the officer was getting a little cuff happy and I didn't wanna push my luck. So to make things better I had a beer when I got home.

Originally posted by captain_chaos View PostExactly, the officer's attitude was terrible. I was a drunk driver and no matter what I said would not budge that thought. Also the hypocrasy of the erratic driving acusation, despite the office not indicating at 2 roundabouts!!

Jeez, people complain when they do nothing, and then complain when they do something. Can they do nothing right? They have no idea whether you are legit or a lying scumbag until they can prove one way or the other.
