black passat unmarked police car

[maca]

I take a shortcut through some back streets on the way to work most days and often they have speed trap - laser guy hiding behind some parked cars in a 40 zone there.

I give him a friendly wave every time I go past (on the bike) and since I know of their habit I never speed there . A few weeks ago, they had another guy 100m further up and as I approached he pulled me over to do a RBT etc etc etc after getting off the radio.

Seems I've been working on their nerves going past almost daily never speeding and waving ......

I was super polite and friendly and did everything they wanted. Took them really aback to the point that eventually he asked why I kept on waving at them ......

I just replied that I felt sorry for them being out there @ 7am and just greeted them without malice or other intent .....

I have never been stopped there again and get a wave back most days now .....

HAHA that's a great story!! But yeah, it comes down to respect.

If you respect them, they'll respect you.
