Remember when we were on our way to Spain and I said what we thought were police trying to pull us off the motorway at Madrid and we didn’t stop or follow them off the motorway. What a relief we didn’t as they were bandits posing as police. We have just heard that 9 people have been arrested in Madrid for pulling cars/lorries and robbing the occupants. So best advice is if the car does not show a police sign or blue light (green in spain) don’t follow them!
Wow! You were very lucky.
We were stopped for speeding (apparently) in Bulgaria by police. They took our passports and only gave them back if we paid them €100 which went into their back pockets.
The 9 people arrested were wearing police (guardia seville) uniforms.
