Hi All,

About a year ago when I owned a Triumph Explorer 1200, I had just filled up at a garage on a busy 5 way junction (singleton Lights)..
I was behind a grey 5 series BMW car which appeared to be waiting to emerge from the forecourt.
The driver seemed extremely hesitant at joining the road even though the way was clear at that point.
I could see a bald head over the headrest..
He was still looking right and there was nothing there at all!!
I reached safety valve blow off and shouted "MOVE YOU OLD FART!!"
He sort of shuffled his car to the right a few feet and I set off at a rate of knots from the garage.. Lets just say I was WAY over the marked speed for that road.
I glanced in my mirror and marvelled that I hadn't put as much distance between his car and me as I would have thought!!
I was thinking maybe he's going to "sort me out" at the next set of traffic lights!
I then noticed from the grill of his car 2 alternating flashing blue lights!
WTF
Oh Shitzen housen I exclaimed.

Inwardly I was thinking a £500 fine and maybe 6 points on my license..
As you can imagine all sorts of VERY negative thoughts were going through my mind.
Before we go any further let me just say I can creep for England if I have to..

I pulled over and immediately removed my helmet.
He gets out of his err very unmarked car and says "Firstly I am NOT an old Fart"!
I replied "I can see that now officer and in fact I reckon you're a credit to the force..
He stopped in his tracks in a sort of surprised silence and gestured with his arm and said "Go On"
He said "Do you know why I was waiting at the junction"?
I said "Not really officer I just assumed there was an elderly gentleman that was having an indecisive moment and was unsure whether to emerge onto the highway or not".
I said "I wouldn't be surprised if your body cam footage is used in Police training college to show how any DECENT officer should go about his very demanding duties"

He said "I am starting to feel nauseous; You can stop your grovelling..
I am not going to do you."
He then said he was waiting at the junction because he was watching a heated argument between 2 drivers at one of the pumps.
He said "I was doing 60 and you were pulling away from me"
I said "sorry about that officer the sudden adrenalin rush caused a muscle spasm in my right wrist..

I then said "Seriously I REALLY do appreciate you letting me off"

He was then distracted by a car that had screeched to a halt behind him.. The driver jumped out and asked him to get back to the garage asap!

I think I did 30mph all the way home and had a sweet cup of tea.

When I told my mates this story they typically called me a creep and said "I wouldn't have grovelled like that to a cop"
I said "I dot give a stuff.. If it saves my license, I will grovel for England !
