Plated an American police cruiser, as a PH. :shock:
I was at a set of lights in town and it was waiting at another set when I spotted the orange PH plate on the front I managed to get behind it and it had the one on the back as well
It still has the police lights the cage behind the driver, in fact it has everything except the shot gun missing from its holder behind the driver
I recently looked around this car when it was at a cafe and its a 100% genuine x New York police car.
Bloodknock will most probably have seen this car on his rounds

That to me is a REAL private hire, like limos etc. The others are just pretend PH and pretend Taxi thus making drivers very confused as to what they actually are, but, that's no excuse to behave like a HC and pick up flaggers :D

Its been on the road around here for the last 18 months and the police dont seem bothered, its the first time I have seen the PH plates though, so he must have got them recently

People dont half slow down when its about as they notice the light box first

Put it writing as a complaint to the Chief Constable, you may wish to suggest they / he's been using them to deceive the Public thats he's the Police.

That would be naughty.

Your quit right MR Sussex, but as it was an unusual piece I put it where it would be read.
i think its being used as a special limo but the owner has done the right thing and got it properly licenced

I think what the old boy is saying is that there is nothing to suggest the driver of the vehicle has been doing what you described. :wink:
