WARNING PLEASE READ

This may interest some of you!!

Its good to have friends in the Police!!!

Here's a tip off about some filming
that Hants Police are doing for a television programme
series from
tomorrow (26th September) for seven weeks.

If you use the M27 or the M3 this potentially affects
you so please
proceed with caution and pass onto anyone who you feel
might just need
to know. The program a BBC South commission called
"Traffic Cops" will be
filmed covering the area from Ringwood concentrating on
Ringwood M27 up
to M3 J9 and a team working the ringroad around
Southampton (Totton will
have a unit working it alone), Cosham M27 stretch to J5
of the M27
Southampton
Airport turn-off). The fourth concentration is working
from Winchester
Services covering M3 to J10 M3 (Winchester South) using
five unmarked
cars, two Black Skoda 03 registration Octavias, an
05 plate dark red Mondeo and two Volvo saloon cars.

The BBC unit are going to be based out of a unit in
Millbrook Road in
Southampton and will also be covering the armed police
response unit and
the Southampton Airport Police Security / British
Transport Police team.

The BBC team are in Citreon Picasso MPVs leased from
Arriva.

To make it even more effective the Traffic police have
authority from
Chief Constable to "work to rule" So instead of the laid
back approach
to the usual Hants traffic police this will be a lot
more concentrated to
make it effective filming.

You have been warned"

Nice tip off...I'm not likely to be round that way, but I'm sure some people here will find it useful.

Had an attempted bust up with an Octavia RS in black yesterday on the M27, he got right up my chuff and pushed and pushed upto about 90, when I clocked two in white shirts in the car, I pulled in and let them by, got a filthy look from both and car had a clear section in the blacked out rear screen...... not the first time I have been agressively coaxed into speeding, Bustards...

So if you see a blue Rangey Sport featured in the programme...........it was me
