The Finger

Got pulled on Thursday morning for giving an unmarked police car the finger!

 

He was tootling down the outside lane of a dual carriageway with no cars on the inside and no cars in front. So, better judgement deserted temporarily, I undertook him. He beeped his horn so, obviously, got the finger.

 

He then promptly followed me to work and, when I jumped out of my car and went over to "politely" ask if he had a problem, he identified himself (very sharpish!) as a police officer.

 

He told me he'd been driving in the outside lane 'coz he was expecting me to undertake him! WTF?! He also said that it was an offence under some public order act or something to give people the finger. Anyone know if this is true?

 

He also tried to give me a producer. However I pointed out that the last time I got pulled, the officer told me about the new PNC system that could tell if you had an MOT and insurance. So he grumpily checked that way instead.

 

I also told him I had broken my finger at rugby that weekend and it was stuck in that position. I was simply trying to wave at him 'coz I presumed he knew me as he beeped his horn welcomingly at me!

    Class mate, glad you got away with it.

     

    As for the PNC thing, I knew they can now check whether the vehicle is insured and taxed, and whether its been in any accidents, but as far as i know they cannot check MOT details as yet?:confused:
