And the bint who drives it is NOT a police officer. She just says she is. So if you get aggro from someone answering that description , tell her to put it where the sun does not shine
Tootling along, in very heavy traffic, I nipped down an empty left hand lane that terminated and slipped into the right hand one, all good and happy.
Tootling along in right wheel space , and I see the white car that was behind me come up and undertake me, squeezing in between the kerb and me . That's OK, I don't actually mind cages doing that, we do the same to them.
But I did mind when I felt myself shoved to the right and observe that her car is actually shoving on Von Klunken's crash bars! So I swerve over to the right a bit , as far as I could without becoiming a hood ornament on oncoming traffic and melodiously tootle my tootler. To which she responds with a blast on the horn and keeps coming.
Luckily at this point the traffic halted cos of lights. So I banged on her window and when she wound it down I pointed out the error of her ways.
Whereupon she said "You just made a big mistake , because I am a police officer " - or some such, definately the police officer bit. Oops. Oh dear. However - whilst she looked like she could have been a plain clothes detective, the car certainly didn't look like a plod mobile. Had a towbar, no sign of a distinctive cap had helmet or badge, let alone a uniform.Didn't look or feel like a mufti and I doubted that a copper would have undertaken me. But it did have some sort of RT into which she started gabbling. .
So I said, through the window "um OK. Well, lets pull over , I'd just like a glance at your warrant card if I may". At which she kept driving steadily forward and wound her window up.
Anyway, by now fairly sure she wasn't the plod (and if she was I didn't care since she wasn't wanting to stop) I made some inquiries. She's not. She does work for a well known public service organisation (and should know better!). But not police or anything connected.
I was a bit pissed off at first , thinking "Yeah, right, impersonation of police officer, who do I dob you in to lady" But on reflection, I'm actually a bit taken with her cheek. I guess she got pissed off seeing a bike getting through the traffic when she was stuck in it. And then maybe got a bit nervous when the leather clad bikie started giving her the hard word. Quite good spur of the moment thinking I guess. So I'll let it rest I think, honours even I reckon
But if you encounter her - 'tis a wee fibble.
