  Over the 51 years I have been driving I have been done for speeding,red lights, going in Bus lanes,parking on the yellow lines, not having my seat belt on,but never have I been stoped before ,for carefull driving,yes that happen very late last night coming back from a event both my wife and myself,We was coming down a very dark hill I also had my mate and his wife in the back there was ice on the road too,there was a car behind me all the way just as I was going to turn on to the A20 blue lights went on from the car behind me,I pulled over and got out,same time as the policeman did,I asked him why he had pulled me over,"Be cause you was driving carefully all the way down the hill,and we do not see that alot around here"I went on to say"Well it is very dark ice on the roads and by the way I do not drink." Nothing wrong in the way you was driving Sir, and I can see you have not been drinking, please carry on and we are sorry for stoping you.I said thank you and good night,and off we went.

  You sure it was a real Policeman Vic,you have been known to be fooled by imposters before.
  If you knew what I know,we would both be in trouble!

  The last time I saw 2 females dressed as WPCs wearing stockings and suspenders they weren't ladies either.

  They were expecting you to be a drink driver Vic, some of them drive excessively slowly and carefully after a few.

  i think the police were surprised that mr matcham was driving rather than walking backwards down the middle of the road.
