2pm yesterday heading westbound on M9 saw 2 patrol cars side-by-side eastbound with lights flashing, slowing the cars behind them.
Have seen this before (in front of me) where they were bringing the motorway to a halt so some kids could get safely across from the central reservation where they'd obviously gotten stuck.
However, on this occasion less than a mile further along there was a blue Passat ripping down the motorway with 3 or 4 plod apparently in pursuit.
Today about 2.30pm I saw presumably the same (somewhat bashed along the sides) Passat stopped on the hard shoulder with 4 patrol cars in front and behind it - I drove along the motorway this morning and there was no car on the hard shoulder at that time.
Presumably this has been a 'live' training exercise for the Police rather than the same dude being stopped on 2 different days...
Must have been quite exciting for the punters on the motorway at the time!
