    I wanna know the weirdest reasons u've been pulled over by the cops while driving. I'll start............

    Travelling the A2 towards Gillingham there i am on a 70mph limit doing 50-60mph, in my then recently acquired 530dm sport :) . when a cop car monuveres around me for about 5 mins, me and my other 2 mates gather summints up and we gonna get pulled.

    so i sat untill they put on the blue lights, "surprise" my mate yelled. i pulled over to the hard shoulder, cop demands i come out of the vehicle and onto the side, which i do.

    With an annoyed tone i say "i weren't speeding" the copper replies " i know u weren't, ur were driving too SLOW"

    I was gob smacked, he followed on by saying i was holding up traffic in the middle lane of a 3 lane highway, i was too shocked to argue with him and stayed quiet.

    that had to be my worst ever copper pull over man, more embarrassing then anything, its k as i left the slip road i hit 70mph in like 8 secs, lol

    I've got another one in my GT4 but i'll post that later

    never been pulled over for a weird reason but once after a few strange questions the officer asked to see a license, the driver asked his or mine. Thought for sure he was getting a ride but the officer cut us loose after a bit.

    Yeah, I have been pulled over for going tooo slow, well I wasn't that slow, it was my first winter ( I hate driving in the snow), so I was probably around 60 Km/hr in a 70 zone...plus, whats worse is my car did say "New Driver"

    I got pulled over once, my car matched the description of a robbery/sexual assault. I was innocent of course. Still am.

    Myself & three others had just played a round of golf & were on the way home, in the car we still had our golf hats on & in the boot of the car were several bags of golf looking coins from my fathers Vending machine company.

    While driving home I noticed a police car ( at distance ) following us all the way back into London ( Now in the land of OZ ) when we went into a small street several police cars & vans came from all directions & blocked us off, the opened the boot saw the bags & off to the nick with us!

    Why?

    Apparently about the same time we left the golf course ( in Kent ) three men in hats robbed a Jewellery store & took off with several mbags of goddies, the police car saw us matching the discription & when they opend the boot thought it was Xmass.
    When they found out it was not us they were not very happy little chappies to say the least.

    Once got clocked going 80 in a 65 from a cop going the other direction on a 3 or 4 lane highway. He drove two miles, cut over to my side, then drove like another 2 or 3 miles just to catch up to me. By the time he caught up to me I was already going 65(the speed limit) for atleast 3 or 4 minutes.

    I was in New York with Mass license plates, maybe that's why? :( :(

    Pulled away from a roundabout on the Costa Blanca Spain. Turned a corner straight into a crowd of Guardia Civil who waved me in. Cop leans in the window with sweat pissing down his forehead and says "98" i said no i was not doing "98" my speed was 50.

    In a more aggressive tone and in broken English he said "98 euros, that is what you pay me" luckily i had 100 euros on me and gave it to him in disgust. He tossed me the 2 euro change and gave me a ticket for speeding, what a con!

    What was weird was them surrounding us with their guns like something from the OK Corral !

    I've gotten pulled over in North Carolina for going 10 MPH over the speed limit, a few weeks later after I returned home from the road trip and I was bombarded with letters from lawyers from N.C. asking to fight the ticket, with me being from NYC, I wasnt going to drive back to N.C. to fight the ticket, so I paid an attorney $125 and they got it reduced down to a broken taillight, pretty lame eh?

    Just another way for the town to make money.

    Massachusetts licence plates.

    I got pulled over a few years ago when my drunk passenger (a policeman) grabbed the wheel and forced me to swerve. Instead of getting out to help he left me to convince the cops that it wasn't my fault - fortunately, I was sober as a judge and they let me go. As I got back into the car my copper mate said I'd handled the situation nicely and promptly passed out in a drunken slumber. B*stard.
