    Hi all, just a word to the wise.....I was out or a ride on the A4 this afternoon and an Audi tt came by at a rate of knots, followed very shortly after by a white BMW 5 series, at first I thought they were having a go but suddenly blue lights started to flash on the BMW and a police sign magically appeared so the audi was truly nicked. There was no sign on the outside of the BMW that it was a police car so it wasn't playing the game....this isn't the first time I've seen it on the a4 between Marlborough and Newbury so keep an eye out ......

    Thanks.

    You can generally spot a Police driver pretty well even in an unmarked car.

    The A4 is a pretty common stomping ground, nice road.

    There's a blue BMW they often use on the A303. Overall I think we are well off in Wiltshire though with a lack of fixed camera's.

    WX prefix only means it is registered in the Wessex area, south west, surrounding bristol/avon

    Had to be said, just to strike a balance, i'm sure WB don't want to be seen as a speed-ticket aware site. Equally i'm sure most of us like to twist the right hand more than necessary now and again.

    But if you stick closer to a safer speed.....
