Was an E300TD, now a Lexus LS400
I'm fairly certain officers have an exemption if on a call.

I'm sure you are absolutely correct, but it is neither a good example, nor good practice. As communications are a "tool of the trade", surely a hands free facility is the least they should have? :confused:

Bet that form would go straight in the bin!

Also annoy me when they speed without any lights or sirens on... so tempted to follow them and flash until they pull over, lol

Back to my story of being pulled over for speeding. This charming gentleman of a Police Officer informed me that he cruises at 75-80 to keep the traffic flowing or they would all slow down and not overtake him. I did and got stopped.

I once got stopped by a single copper in a panda, he was in front of me. He put his blue light on and singled me to pull over, he said 'did you know you were doing 37 in a 30 mph zone' I replied then so must you have been as I was folowing you, he looked puzzled and told me to watch my speed????
