One rule for one....

Traffic cops. Need I say anymore? Going to though.

Seen footage of this idiot - and I mean IDIOT, ploughing along, in the dark, at a ridiculous speed. Yes he\'s trained to drive at that speed, but so is Jenson Button, but he\'d get lifted for doing it! What made me laugh was the police commisioner saying all the other advanced driving traffic cops would say he was totally safe - course they bloody would! Keep it in the family and all that. Obviously not all coppers are the same, as one of them had the balls to actually chage him over it.

As for the blokes \'training\', would this include reacting to a puncture at 159mph on a busy motorway and careering over other lanes, probably wiping out other motorists? Don\'t think so.

Lock the bas**** up!

Couldn\'t agree more Davy.....

 

[michaeldevlin]

wonder if the judge and the copper were masons ? u scratch my back type stuff

Just been doing a bit working out here...

He\'ll have been travelling at 77 yards every SECOND....

By the time he had reacted to anything happening, he\'ll have travelled just over 19 yards....

In tests, the average vehicle response time is 0.75 seconds, so he\'d have travelled over 57 yards before he has made the vehicle react, thats half the length of a football pitch.

Frightening - well done to British Law.

Well said dave, The b******s try to do me for travelling at 33mph on my way home from work. The stupid s*d had,nt realised Havanah Rd in Washington is a 40 mph limit.

Quite right Davy.

Mike...also been stopped on that road, (if it\'s the one Jennings is on). The speed limit is in fact 60mph. It\'s only signed if coming from Concord or Donwell end though. From the other end there is no sign.

I really enjoyed walking back down the road with the officer and pointing at the National Speed limit sign and explaining to him that he may want to re-sit the theory section of his advanced driving qualification if the he didn\'t understand it\'s meaning, (all very politely off course).


Bet he can\'t wait to catch me out next time.

Jeff.

Class Jeff. I\'ve had a bit of a cat and mouse thing going on with the bus link outside the Stella in Albany. You can drive through it at 7pm. I was travelling towards it from Jennings when I seen a panda parked at the other end of the bus link, just peeping out. I sat and waited till 2 minutes past 7 and drove through and guess what happened....flashing blue lights. Had great pleasure in asking the officer what time it was

 

[Mike.Haley]

Nice one Dave, They say there is one born every minute. how is it they all end up as coppers in Washington?

Jeff, I had,nt realised it was a 60 limit on havanah road I always thought it was 40. Next time i see a panda on there I,ll put my foot down a bit more.
