I was driving home from a friends unit tonight at approximately 10:45pm and I saw a Police Mitsubishi Pick up (think it was an L200 - the registration plate was 0U10 BGW or BWL or something like that) turn RIGHT out of BP on London Road, which we all know is a NO RIGHT TURN.

Yet I get told off for parking in a car park peacefully with my friends. I have no respect for police officers when they have no respect for the laws they are supposed to uphold!!

Me neither, nasty vindictive people. That's why Raoul Moat had such a big fan base.

Does anyone know what the official procedure is for reporting things like this?

What I can't fathom is why so many police cars drive around in poor visibility with their parking lights on, rather than headlights.

The police are only interested in speeding offences.
Easy pickings and good revenue.
Other motoring offences seem to be mainly ignored until an accident happens.
The new smoking in cars with children offence makes me laugh.
They cannot seem to even enforce the mobile phone in cars offence so what chance do they have?!!

A year or so ago I 'tailed' a police car without any lights on despite it being dark. This was from Padworth to Thatcham. ohmy.gif

They probably didn't see you! #Stealthmode

Unfortunately without a full correct registration plate I would not be able to report it. As much as I would like to. It was night time so I did the wank0r sign at him but doubt he saw it laugh.gif

Well, I for one didn't know that. But then I don't use that garage. Is there an official No Right Turn sign at the exit?

I have often turned right coming out of Craven Dene after dropping someone off, which is a similar thing - no sign there.

I see this has turned into another anti-police rant, despite the fact it could have been anyone.

If a telematics system is used, the whereabouts of the vehicle will be mapped and logged to a database.

There is, and I have been pulled for turning right out of there. Also this thread hasn't turned into an anti police rant, it started that way!

There is a no right turn sign clearly marked on the right hand side of the road.

Where the "NO ENTRY" sign is on the left - The sign next to it that you can't see is the one which has no right turn on it.

Further down the London Road there is a road, Skylings or something.. no right turn again, clearly displayed. People ignore it. and ignorance is no excuse!

It also makes logical sense as seeing oncoming traffic is very difficult. The roundabout is about 75 yards up the road. Pure laziness.

But it wasn't; it was the old bill and they should set an example.

It's OK, his observational skills (by not seeing the no-right turn sign) are clear when he can't even notice where I wrote it was a marked police pick up haha

Whilst it is a bit stupid to turn across the A4 from the BP garage especially as there is a roundabout a few feet away, are we sure that the sign is legally enforceable. I know it looks like it is but that doesn't make it so.

If that's a go at me - I'd be hard pressed to see the no-right turn sign if I've never been there. I did see what you wrote - the usual poster kicked off in the first reply.

I'd be interested to know who pulled you, what for and did you get a ticket or just advice about your driving.

...err yeah right... I take it that 'big fan base' you refer to would include pissartists like wor Gazza.... or are you one of the Facebook muppets that push 'like' at any random crap...

It's on private land and is not enforceable. It provides sound advice to motorists and encourages the majority to turn left and use the roundabout but you can't be prosecuted for ignoring it. It has no more meaning than the 'No Entry' signs in the retail park - and I often ignore them as the layout is so daft.... I turn left out of the BP garage anyway but if a police officer tried to enforce he'd be onto a loser if he tried to issue a ticket.

You're referring to Martingale Chase. Ignore this one and you CAN be prosecuted as it's public highway and there will be a traffic order to back it up - which could be used in Court if you decided to fight the charge.

Alright 5punk monkey, I'll tell the forum, I got pulled over by the police as I pulled right out of there and it is legally enforceable. I wasn't ticketed, they simply told me not to do it again. It is a private bit of land with public access which means it's a public highway, just as much as martingale chase. If you want to come on and spout the law perhaps you could use the internet to check a few things first next time? Muppet. As for the Raoul Moat thing, I didn't say I liked any of the pages, or him, but it was a huge concern at the time as to how many fan pages had sprung up, and I believe Facebook itself was investigated over these.
