Fabia VRS Unmarked Police Cars

pulhamdown · 29-09-2006, 18:02

I`ve just read today that Leicestershire Police are using unmarked BLACK Fabia VRS patrol cars. Just a warning to you all, that not all VRS drivers are friendly!

Was a piece on it in Autocar this week saying they chose the Fabia to goad people into trying to race it. Apparantely women are particularly susceptible!

Police officers are very friendly

When you break the law they are still friendly. It just at that point that YOUR perception changes!!

police entrapment eh??

aixlad · 29-09-2006, 19:04

OK, I'm moving to Leicestershire because the drivers there will be more courteous towards me!

There is a black Fabia vRS in the Carlisle area.
As the unfriendly stern look at 130mph told me..

I should know better, but the look was enough to slow me down, and he was in a bigger hurry than me

I love policemen, and women ( not in THAT way obviously, not policemen anyway

)

Guilty

It must be the thrill of the chase

nottyash · 30-09-2006, 21:53

There must be no criminals, so the Police are after innocent motorists again!!

pixi · 30-09-2006, 22:00

But if you're innocent then they can't be after you

nottyash · 30-09-2006, 22:07

I am not innocent, and as long as there is such a stupid law, will continue to break it!!
They dont wait around Schools and built up areas, its empty motorways in the middle of the night when they get you, while some poor bugger is getting burgled!!!

I think you'll find though that more lives are lost due to motorists than burglars, so while ****s continue to break the law and kill people on the roads, the police need to keep patroling them and thus saving lives.

Tis a very lame reason to choose a Furby Verse as a patrol car.

Check out the safe speed website.
Speeding does not kill, poor driving, and not driving to suit conditions does!!

MarkyMarkD · 10-10-2006, 23:05

Obviously the twonk in a Citroen Xsara who sped up from 50 mph (which he'd been doing for 4 miles) to 70 mph whilst I was overtaking him on a single carriageway near here (in Leicestershire) hadn't read about the black Fabia vRS police cars rather similar to mine.
