I seem to see a lot of Police cars driving above the speed limit without any lights recently. I've probably clocked about 8 cars in the last few months, mostly on the motorway.
On Friday, a Police car passed me at a fair rate when I was doing 70 on the motorway. It was a Ford Focus so I don't think it was the traffic Police, but I sped up to see how quick it was going - I was doing 85 and it was still pulling away, which seems a little excessive.
I just find it a bit annoying and wanted to hear other peoples thoughts.

My thought is to try to take a broader view of things. I'm not being critical of you, because I am inclined to get annoyed at the same sorts of things, but in the final analysis is it too bad a thing? If they catch another tw@t on their mobile/iPad/gameboy/television/kindle etc., by speeding a bit, is that too bad a thing?
I always try to ignore the principles and look at the practical reality. i don't think it is too serious.
I'm not dismissing your point of view; just offering my own perspective.

Hypocrisies to the highest level. What more could you expect? On a seperate note, ever thought of becoming a traffic officer? You have a keen eye for speeding

On the rare occasions i've seen police cars speeding on the motorway with the blues lights, i see it as license to do the same speed........
