Two forces apologise to woman after incident with ‘fake policeman’ on M1

Time has run out for any charges after woman said ‘really angry’ man shouted at her to pull over and showed ID

A woman who described her terror at being harassed on a motorway by a man posing as a police officer has been told there can be no criminal investigation because forces failed to act in time.

The woman said she was driving on her own on the M1 in March 2023 when a “really angry” man in an unmarked car began shouting at her to pull over, showing what looked like a police ID, the BBC reported.
