Hi everyone hope you all had a good xmas and new year.

Random question I know but would love to know what it means,
Was driving home from Peterborough up the a1 and there was a traffic cop (volvo), in front of me going quit slow so 40-50mph I then was behind him then these little red lights came on but no blue lights just these little red lights but on the back of the led light thing had no idea what to do so stayed behing him then all a sudden he turned them off but was still driving pritty slow. Any body know why that was did he want to pull me over or what I dont know plus there was no traffic or crashes.  :y

Camera infra red, probably suspicious that you didn't pass him so did a vehicle check prior to possibly pull you over :-\

Could have been a rolling road block. They do this when there is debris / breakdown further up the road as it gives the patrol car further down chance to remove the item in the road without the danger of any cars come flying past them whilst removing whatever the debris /breakdown is.

did he want to pull me over or what

I suspect you would have known within 30 seconds or so if that was the case.

It's always a giveaway when your tyres mysteriously go flat simultaneously.. ;D

Was it actually foggy with fog causing visibility to be less than 100 yards?

Or were you being a prat, believing the rules do not apply to you?
