Karma police - Cop's thumbs up after pulling over dangerous driver
That’s swift justice.
An impatient motorist who cut up a van suffered instant karma and was immediately pulled over by traffic cops – and a policeman then stuck up his thumb to the aggrieved driver.
The incident happened on the Blackpool Road, Lancashire.
Neil Hodson claims he had to slam on his brakes when a white Vauxhall Corsa pushed in front of him in rush hour traffic.

But the Corsa driver was in for a surprise after his dangerous manoeuvre.
He obviously had not seen the police van and officers pounced.
Hodson said he was “smiling ear-to-ear” after the incident.
“I had a car on the trailer behind me so I was quite long and he clearly didn’t quite fancy staying behind me,” said Hodson.
“You can’t see it that well on the video, but I had to swerve quite a bit and hit the brakes when he pulled in.
“But he hadn’t seen the police officer behind me, and as I looked in the mirror and the officer put on the blues and twos.
“I have to admit that I was smiling ear-to-ear because he had been a bit of an idiot.
“It wasn’t crime-of-the century but it was bit amusing that he got caught as I see it happen quite a lot on the roads.”
Even better for Hodson, when he passed the police, an officer gave him the thumbs up.
Lancashire Police said it would not comment on the case.
