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   

Had a very amusing run up to York, early one morning a couple of weeks ago. Did that to a silver Audi on the M1. It took him a couple of miles to decide to overtake me, then he went for it. About 20 seconds later he was doing 65 in the nearside lane ;D ;D ;D.
Backfired when we hit the roadworks though, tw*t wouldn't do more than 40 >:(

I still occasionally drive on the motorway at 60 to keep fuel consumption to a decent level and have had people slow down noticeably as they approach me in the middle/outside lane.  It doesn't happen as much as it used to though.  Spotty kids in Renault clits still tend to get very paranoid if I'm behind them however.

I'm a bit of a sod for keeping left at all times too, which may have made some people suddenly observe the Highway Code.  That and the hi-vis jacket hanging in view of the rear door window.  And me wearing a white shirt.

Having said all that I'd wouldn't dream of impersonating the Police and never been remotely interested in being one either, but there has been a couple of occasions where I have flashed my lights in the Mig to warn others I am nearby and they've stopped their antics very quickly. 

Probably the most amusing moment I had was when a group of about 6 marked Police bikes came barrelling up a dual carriageway and slowed down before rather cautiously overtaking me!  I think they might have been on their way to being delivered or something as the rear beacon lights were covered up, but it was funny all the same.
