I'm surprised the 'victim' didn't drive off - such a pushy man wanting money.

This has been happening for a long time now.I too was flagged down on a slip road joining the A14 by a man.His car was pulled off to the side with 3 other men in.He said he was from Germany (no way) .I forget now what he was wanting me to do but he offered me a gold ring (as security).Now that is when I drove off.I have since seen the same car and man flagging cars down twice along the A14...i just wish I had called the Police.

I thought you meant the police, hiding in John Deere tractors with their speed cameras, or the police that wont return parking fine money obtained illegally by unauthorised PCSO's

Well if it wasn't the same man ,it sounded like his twin !!!...It could have well been the same person.I am just so cross with myself for not reporting to the police .
