Seen any police speeding?



I tried to keep up this morning with two police officers on motor bikes on the M25 they didn't have their blue lights or sirens on, but lets just say they were doing near enough 100mph.

Anybody else seen the police needing policing in this respect?

Constantly, and it really gets on my t*ts. I don't see that they should be able to get away with it. I can understand the neccessity of an ambulance or fire engine needing to speed to get to an emergency, but not the police. Surely not as often as they do. They are often putting others at risk.
And as you witnessed, I'm sure they speed as a matter of course even when there is no emergency. They are not above the law themselves, surely?
I was in my local town recently, just about to cross the road with my young daughter. This is a tiny town in Wales, with only one small roundabout in the centre. There was very little traffic, and by the time we heard the siren, a speeding police car was almost on top of us. He must have been doing 50 through the town centre. Where is the need for that? I just don't believe it is ever neccessary.
I have a great respect for the police, but unfortunately they keep letting me down.
Always! they even put there blue light on to rush home for Tea!!
Yes I chase them all the time to see what speed they are doing!!
Yesterday.

I was doing 30 in a built up area and keeping to the limit because a police car had turned out of a road in front of me,he was doing at least 40 as he pulled away from me and dissapeared,they didnt look like they were going to an emergency as they were chatting away and laughing.
Yeah, I work as a driver around Heathrow and I see it all the time. Some of the cops are in plain cars with plain clothes and have no lights or anything. You can't tell they're cops and they switch on their sirens and drive in the wrong lane against the flow of traffic. I think if they're going to do that they should at least have lights to identify them or they could have an accident.

There are some cops who drive modified Subaru's (in Surrey especially) and those cars are capable of 200mph with no problems. That is just unnecessarily dangerous.
yeah last night when i was delivering pizza's i was coming up to a junction and a police 4x4 come speeding around the corner on my side of the road, they didn't have there blue lights on neither, if that was me they would of pulled me no-doupt
I have on many occasions , i drive for a living and do quite a bit of motorway driving and the speed the police bikes do is stupid if it was me or you we would be nicked for it .
