SIR - How pathetic are the police? Instead of going after the criminals they hound the motorists. I've got two small blue sidelights on my car, bought from a motorist shop nearly three years ago. The other day at 4.10pm I was followed into a car park. The constable banged on the window. "Get out" he said, "turn your lights on." "Blue lights," he said twice. I explained how long they'd been on the vehicle. "Blue lights," he said again, "You could be an emergency vehicle."
"But they don't flash," I said, "They are just sidelights." After pleading ignorance, I still got fined £30. So beware - I'm not a boy racer, I'm 69 years old.
