Holy thread resurrection.
In very quick summary:
1- The officer I encountered was sadly a dim-whitted individual, who in absolute truth wasted my time due to his ignorance and lack of knowledge. His colleague was also sadly ignorant and apparently unable to consult the readily available database to confirm my car's legality
2 - There was no interest in my car, else he wouldn't have been the one being borderline agressive in his tone when first addressing me. I was absolutely polite in my delivery to the policeman, but assertive and factual.
3 - "Would I have driven like I did whilst on my driving test?" For what it's worth, I would - cold engine, not pushing hard at all, and driven within the speed limit.
4 - MW if you are a police officer or a relative of one, or have strong connections with police officers, then I accept that there are variations in the quality of individual in all jobs in society. Sadly I encoutered 2 professionally sub-standard individuals on this occasion.
