left mums this evening with ds' in car. she lives on a country road off a main road. when i got to the top of the road there was a car sitting i the layby that was at my side of the road and a car coming towards us both. i was already stopped at the top of the road, and so i let the car pass and pulled out. as i straightened up the car in the layby pulled right out across the front of me and turned the other direction. it was a policeman driving it!! he looked directly at me as he passed me. i wasnt going fast as i had literally just pulled out, but i didnt expect him to do this as he had no indicator on so i had to brake otherwise i would have hit him. i considered reporting him but i know nothing would be done about it as he was a policeman. i really did feel like blasting my horn at him but it would serve no purpose as he clearly saw me and it would only have been viewed as road rage. i am annoyd though because if it had ben the other way round he would have stopped me for sure. it was soo dangerous.

There is no reason to believe if you contact your local police force that this officer wont get a telling off for driving dangerousley .Give as much detail as you can time /date/location etc and they should be able to work out who it was .However it may just be that as a human being he made a mistake

true, he mightnt have seen me as he did it but he did look at me as he was driving past so a wave to acknowledge the mistake would have been nice.
