I was just browsing the forum and wanted to know, how much attention do other Zeds get from the police? :thumbsdown:
You hear all the stories about targeting the 'sportier' cars, is this true for the Zeds? haven't had anything personally, just curious.. :P
 
I don’t think we have any 'Zees' in the UK, so I guess there's zero problems :poke:

Never had any more police interest in my Zed than my 520, Polo, Metro, M5. It’s purely down to how you’re driving I think.
 
No attention here, but then again, rarely see the police these days. Get more attention from the toll both at the bridge!
 
nothing really, rarely see police on the roads. When I lived in london it was daily but with so much traffic zed never got picked on :)

in sussex where I live no it's dead.
 
Peelers crawl all over mine every day................my son’s a copper and uses it regularly :D
 
With the significant reduction in traffic police across most if not all constabularies I’m wondering if they are switching from marked to unmarked vehicles to discourage bad driving behaviour through the fear of not knowing if it’s the police in front of or behind you. In a recent drive from Essex to Devon I saw three cars pulled over by unmarked police vehicles. Two on the M4 and one on the M5. Also a week ago I saw a van stopped in local traffic, again by an unmarked police car. Sneaky but maybe more effective than being highly visible?
 
More likely to get caught by a camera van or an unmarked. Before you cane it, you should see if there is a "typical" unmarked in the vacinity. BMW, Subaru, Skoda, Volvo estate. If they are in white or black or silver, I wouldn't risk it.....effective traffic policing I suppose.

Shame they don't catch thieves, burglars, drink drivers any more...!!

I would think they’re more interested in a slammed chav Saxo bag of shite with a truck exhaust shrink wrapped to the pea shooter standard rusty pipe driven by a reverse cap wearing, face full of metal shaved headed plank....

....that is unless you’re cruising past them top down at 80 in a 30 flicking them the bird and chugging a can of Stella... :wink:

I am not sure, even then they wouldn't pursue you. I saw a guy blatantly go through on red with a panda car at the front of the junction. Just let the driver go and carried on as if it hadn't happened... :? :o
 
While it's not an everyday occurrence there have clearly been a number of times when I or the convoy I was in have been singled out for scrutiny. When a cop does a U-turn right behind you and then follow you for 15 minutes or more while shooting you with radar every few minutes in hope of catching you over the posted speed limit you get that feeling that you are special.
