I wonder if it's worth finding a Traffic cop and asking them what the law says about using a reasonable range of your engines ability on a public road as long as the speed is within limits.
Just been reading the law again. It was clearly introduced to keep control of chavs (I'm 30% chav, does that count?) doing donuts in McDonald's car parks.

you encountered a member of the bell-end percentage to be found in any group
I've no idea what it is - I guess somewhere between 1% and 10% unless you're at a football match, when it will be subdtantially higher
we had one of the Police variety on here a while back
fascinating psychological profile
shame nothing ran out in front of you - might have taught the twat a lesson
more and more people line up and share my experience of trafpol baiting/provocation/shocking driving/indefensible manners
yet it's always denied

You can probably send them an email.
Back in the summer, I was pulled over (by a panda car) for driving at 30mph in a 30mph zone.
I emailed a complaint and ended up having a good telephone discussion with the local commander who was very apologetic and insisted that such a case as mine would be used in further training events as an example of how not to do it.

Surely you can preess a S59 agains the cop for following you too closely and causing annoyance and distress.
It's nice to know that this country is so secure, with crime so low, that the rozzers can spend time with bullshit.
