Pace Car


On the way to work this morning i noticed a police car suddenly turn on his lights up ahead... Now it's not uncommon to see police cars on this part of the M2 so i thought some poor sods been done. However he didn't pull someone over just stayed there gradually slowing down. When he got to 30 miles an hour we'd bunched up behind him like F1 cars following a pace car. I noticed the sign on the back said "do not overtake". Then he slowed to a stop. I thought shit what's going on up ahead to stop a whole motorway... The passenger then hopped out and picked up what appeared to be a scaffold pole... He then sprinted off and picked up another... And another all with the police car (and the rest of us) following slowly behind. The debris was soon clear and we were off but it was a wierd experience seeing a totally empty motorway.
