Why not pop into your local police station and enquire if they have any issues with your vehicle, focus on the point that you've been followed home by a police vehicle on multiple occasions recently and would like to understand why. ________________________________________ I'm Si btw Night Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper  - (The other half's wheels) |

This is the most likely reason tbh. He's just making sure everything is ok within the estate and you're there for a legit reason. But you don't need a DOB to do a PNC check for a car, just for a person check (well even then you don't really need it). There are two types of PNC, vehicle check then/or driver/persons check. Generally this is done once they've stopped someone. There can be checks they can do on their MDT or if they call up control to see if everything is ok while driving along though. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye '99 - Sold |

I think it all depends on the kind of guy you get. After all, the police are just humans like the rest of us. If you get a cop who has an interest in modified cars for example you won't have a problem if you're pulled over in one. If you get a guy who *hates* people in modded cars and detests loud exhausts etc then they'll try and book you on anything they can find.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

I personally haven't had a problem so far with my '6' when it was on the road, maybe it's just pot luck. No pun intended.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Like previously ssid there is so many other more important reasons to follow someone than the type of car they are in. ________________________________________ Team SUPERCHARGED I LIVE FOR THE 306 Old Project thread Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url = |

There are coppers around here all the time both in vehicles and on foot, but I'm sure it is more to do with all the empty new houses around here and very little to do with the odd 13-year old French hatchback. Although it could be to do with my good looks. I'm sure that blonde one fancies me. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

If you had no convictions at all then i would have suggested enquiring about why they are following you. But considering you do, i'd expect such attention. they are simply doing their duty. Just gives you extra reason to not f**k up.  ________________________________________ Richies Project RallyeElectrical work carried out in Portsmouth jamiek_uk2000 wrote: - Top Tip!!!

thanks for the stories. i had a clean license of 5 years untill a c**t of a lorry driver c**ted me over, then an extra c**tish police officer made it his mission to get me off the road, hence the 9 points instead of a year ban (go lawyers!!!). i am a responsible and safe driver.and as irony had it, they followed me home last night....again. this time (2am) from the same area but they moved on from a group of about 6 lads down my estate. i did say something this time. it went along the lines of, ok right officer.....you know i live here this is the third time youve followed me home. between a bunch of drunk/stoned skallies and a resident of this estate for 24 years, who do you really think is upto no good? and if your still saying me i want to know why exactly? his response was there under age so theres not a lot i can do, im following you becuase you could be part of their group :S i mean common seriously.......ffs......i pay my taxes so the police can get scared off by a bunch of skallies and come after me instead. i felt like offering to show him antisocial behaviour/loitering should be handled with a baseball bat and some f**king balls. ________________________________________ the world is changed by people in sheds |

Calm down, it's 2am youths are on your estate and are obviously up to no good. By the sounds of it police are doing something because they keep around your estate, if they were not there they could be tearing it up. Chill they are doing their job and at the end of the day they aint making your journey home any longer. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye '99 - Sold |
