Does anyone else find that other drivers seem to behave much better when they follow in a Miggy. It seems to me that people seem to still think you are a plod car even though most forces stopped using them a few years ago?

[Webby the Bear]

i generally find they keep a mile away from me..... but thats generally cos the boots a mile long

Yes on motorways at night. Much amusement had winding up Audi drivers...

During the day, my big white estate would appear to be invisible :-/

(if the number of tw*ts that keep pulling out in front of me are anything to go by )

i find people are intimidated by the size of the car. when im passing someone in a tight space ive had people stop cos theyre unsure of whether theyll get through

Yes it is quite funny that when in an Omega sometimes other drivers act in the same way as when I have been in a marked police patrol car. 

On a motorway I have spooked other fast travelling motorists by accelerating up to their speed, to actually get past slow moving vehicles, but suddenly they reduce speed and keep looking in their mirror, as they do with a marked patrol car!  Very strange!!

All the above points seem true, Tight gaps, Night drives etc. Makes me LMAO. The only thing that would convince them more in the plod stakes would be a dash mounted camera and a few roof ariels.

hhaaahaa i have one of them stick to the window phone mounts..... could be confused for some sort of plod toy..... just need a high viz jacket

When I had the other Omega .. the 2.5 Blue one . driving in France was great fun .... it was almost the same colour as the French police vehicles .. and everything just got out of the way ..

I think it is some of the best fun you can have without actually breaking any laws. I think that the Omega and the Senator before it were some of the best looking/performing plod cars ever in the UK anyway. The only cars i think look/perform (only slightly) better as plods are the Holden Commodores in Australia and New Zealand and maybe the Cadillac CTS-V i saw once from the USA.

quick press on the rear blind 1/4 of the way up and down always makes em back off. 8-)

3 aerials on mine. Taxi sign is about the same size/shape as a small light bar. Silhouette and sheer acceleration are the two best weaponstools for lane 2/3 clearance esp at night  . Roof sign off and it works quite well during day too

Any mig in white or black probably gets the best reaction and as later plate as possible

[05omegav6]

Funny you should say that

TVP number plates are a small detail. Can't use the car finder at heathrow because the machine can't read the plates :-/ Shame

nothing better than driving on motorway, in ex-plod estate which in certain light  you can still see  the outline of the police badges in the tinted rear quarter windows plus im a contractor so i wear my hi-viz  , the amount of bmw's , audi's and mercs that tend to speed past take a sideways glance and slam on the brakes makes me chuckle and if they dont slow down i am rather apt at pulling straight out and accelerating up fast behind them they soon pull over
