So a cager tried to kill me/a cop today

SO today I got pulled over by a biker cop after he'd been following me for some time along the motorway - just a routine licence check to make sure I was legal and the bike was infact mine. Happy to oblige (though I must remember not to approach cops with my helmet on, they get scared

).

Just before we go to put out helmets back on we hear the smash of glass as a bottle lands just short of the cop bike. There is only ONE car going past, so the cop goes, "well I guess that was him then", pops on his helmet and tears off after him.

I continued down the motorway and didn't see him pulled over so assume the driver continued to do a runner.

Not only could that bottle have killed either of us, but it was obviously that car that threw it.

How stupid can some people be?!

Its even better when its a bottle thrown from the oncoming side of the motorway...

I am glad it was thrown at a cop that time.....(and missed)..since he can do something about it hopefully.
Plenty of F*ckwiths about that throw bottles at anybody....,Motorists, pedestrians and pushbikers alike.

I would definitely get locked up for a long timeif I would catch up with one throwing a bottle at me
