You're probably right Sarnie, but I've a lot more respect for the boys in blue now that I've met one who does!
Yup they do exist out there somewhere, just very few of them left these days.
I got tugged in my old Leon, doing something similar to you, shat my pants, just to find he stopped me as my reversing light was stuck on and I was blinding people behind me Just knocked it in and out of gear a few times and was all sorted. Makes you a bit more sensible and chilled out in future after it happens
