Coronation Street<\/a>‘s David Platt<\/a> may have had a fair few run-ins with the police over the years, but it’s less of a common occurrence for his actor Jack P Shepherd<\/a>. On his podcast On the Sofa<\/a>, he spoke about how he recently got pulled over by police officer, but managed to get out of trouble by giving an understandable reason for his erratic driving.<\/p>\n

Speaking to his co-hosts Colson Smith<\/a> and Ben Price, he said: “I finished work, on my way home… He comes up behind me, lights come on, it’s traffic, it’s 6 o’clock at night, it’s sort of busy. <\/p>\n

“[So I’m like] ‘Ooh, what’s going on ‘ere?’ So he drives along the side of my car, so I had to put the window down down. ‘Hiya mate, yeah yeah yeah.’<\/p>\n

“And he went, ‘You wanna go a little bit easy, drive a little bit easier? You’re a bit all over the road.’<\/p>\n

“And I knew exactly what he was talking about.”<\/p>\n

Shepherd continued: “And I went, ‘Yeah, mate, d’you know why? It’s the potholes.’ And he starts laughing.<\/p>\n

“And I went, ‘You’ve literally driven down that road. You can’t stay in this, you have to avoid the potholes.’ I was having this chat at the lights.<\/p>\n

“And he goes, ‘Yeah, to be fair, actually’, and he looks at the car and went, ‘You don’t want to pop one those tyres.’<\/p>\n

“And I went, ‘Do you know how many I have popped just on that road down there? Three. In my lifetime. In the same car. Three.'”<\/p>\n

He said that the policeman told he wasn’t surprised by by that number, before telling the actor that he thought the actor was “pissed”.<\/p>\n

It was then that the policeman realised that he recognised Shepherd from the television, which led his co-hosts to joke that he probably got all his tickets written off (he didn’t).<\/p>\n
