Anyone know the legality of a completely unmarked/covert police motorcycle blasting through a major junction on a red light?
Southbound at Seven Sisters this morning I was on a green heading from Broad Lane to Seven Sisters Road when 2 unmarked police cars with lights and sirens passed through the junction on a red. Obviously I could see/hear them and gave way before moving off across the junction and turning left but staying in the right hand lane.
Approx 20 metres behind them was a motorbike that I assumed would stop at the lights, but instead opened up the throttle to tail the 2 cars and nearly wiped me out in the process. Rider slowed down, flipped up his visor and informed me he was police.
Absolutely no lights/sirens/marking/uniform/hi-viz/etc
