The Police in Thornton-Cleveleys had coned off a lay-by ahead and were conducting random spot checks on vehicles in the area.
"I hope we don't get nicked" laughed Claire my pupil.
"I shouldn't think so" I was just saying, when surprisingly we were directed into the lay-by.
Now some driving school cars are not obviously driving school cars, but mine has signs on the boot, doors, all down each side and even the roof with a big “L” plate up there. It is without doubt - a driving school car, which is why we were astonished by the Police Officer's opening question...
He leaned into the driver’s window and said . . .
"Can you tell me the purpose of your journey, miss?"
With more than a little disbelief, Sarah replied, "I'm on a driving lesson!"
The Officer stepped back and took another look at the car, we could both see his discomfort, and sheepishly he said, "Oh yes... Of course you are... Carry on." And with that he waved us through.
Good to know that our Police Force have such amazing powers of detection.
