    Default Do I look like an unmarked Police car?

    There's a stretch of dual carriageway inbetween home and work that, obviously, I drive on a daily basis in my reasonably standard silver 1.8 SXi.

    Often, I'll have cars fly past me only for them to slow down quite dramatically, meaning I need to overtake them.

    Once I've done that, and they've had a good look at me, they'll shoot off at a million miles an hour (or maybe just a bit less than that), and I'll have a good chuckle at them as they go past.

    I have no flash bumpers, skirts or stickers etc (yet ), so I was wondering if anyone else gets this too?

    you need some black strips for your shoulders... that might make them not speed up again
