Coppers think they rule the roads, this same scenario happened to me, a cop car was parked in the middle of a road I waited, they looked in the rear view mirror at me then carried on messing around with the computer, I decide 'sod this I'm going around them, I bumped up on the kerb and continued on my way, 2 minutes down the road, pc plod behind me blue lights and that, I pull over to have a gobby "Iam the law" copper in my face telling me that I had just commited dangerous driving, they said that I should of waited or found an alternative route, I replied with I did find an alternative route and bumping up the kerb was justified, they threatened to pass the details to the courts, sure enough a few weeks later I had a summons for dangerous driving and to appear befor magistrates, in court I was asked "why did you over take the police car and mount the kerb" my reply....... I was on route to the fire station, I was faced with a police car parked bang in the middle of the road restricting access so I mounted a kerb, the kerb was not a pathed kerb just the edge of the highway kerb, the judge then asked why I hadn't told the police I was on route to the fire station, I replied with they never once asked my reason for bumping up the kerb or why I was travelling down the road or my intended journey, the judge fined the police for obstructing a on call firefighter from responding to an incident, and made the police retake their advanced drivers course,
