Where you going? Where you been? Bit spanish inquistion, innit?
Seems they doing it in lots of places too. Why?

Where are you going? Driving into the Census interrogation queue.
Where have you been? On the road before being pulled in for interrogation.
Where do you park at night? Outside your missus' house.

These traffic censuses are usually to determine traffic flow, i.e. where from, where to? It's supposed to help with planning. The police are there just to stop you; they don't ask the questions. I'm pretty certain you don't have to answer if you don't want to.

Just tell them you don't get involved in censuses when you're bevvied.

Sould be glad their not giving you a free MOT while there at it.

thanks. This makes sense now.

Don't you watch Police, Camera, Action? They don't miss a trick and should imagine an MOT will be on the cards if required, very helpful like that. It's good for those who work within the regs anyway eh bert? Why should some people pay to drive safely and others get away with it.

If you were stopped by these people as you walked through the town centre then you carry on walking by and tell them to p*ss off. Don't see why we can't do that whilst driving!!

I think I would've waved back if the copper waved me over, and drove straight past!

I've noticed a lot of those wires on the road recently as well.

Bloody ell! getting worse this country.. Next minute they would be wanting to know how big your dongle is.. whats your favourtie color.. If anyone wants to know any information about me then you can find information about me \/ there hehe Seriously though why would they need so much information just for a check i think its just a stop check along with a census check.. But shouldnt it be like birkenhead if someones asks you what gas you use or do you have sky.. Well everytime they ask i go im with e-on or sky or scottish power or something else you get the picture Just say youve got E-ON if you dont have it or similar cause it allows you to carry on walking with a thank you off the purpertrator selling gas or electricity or sky.

Theyve been on Corpy Rd also and at the Duke st Bridge. Missus was pulled over, wanted to see her driving lisence etc??? That aint census, thats plod!!!

what are those weird wires for anyway?

Across the roads, traffic cencus, counting cars to be exact, caus we all know that the authorities cant be trusted with numbers!!!

i wouldn't trust them with a donut let alone a piece of paper

There's a big campaign nationwide to check tax and insurance, so you can bet they looked at your disc and checked the database for legit details. No more 'Guiness bottle labels'! The non-payers can have the car confiscated and crushed!
