I'm guessing it was a fixed speed camera that nailed MM and not a copper but that's not my point really. This topic is full of reasons why there should be traffic police. Incidentally, what's your criteria for laws that should be ignored and those that should be adhered to? And what "leeway" should have been given in the above situation, MM was 25% over the speed limit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Slightly OT, saw one of those fly on the wall traffic police shows the other night (don't usually but was at my folks') and some guy was doing 95 in the rain and dark while swerving all over. Got pulled over, not breathalysed and explained he was swerving because his tracking was knackered. Result- a warning. Wtf? But the one in the first half was a booking- we just want to see some consistency. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by what I see, aye. I'd like to see CCTV cameras up and an automatic 6 points for anyone that parks in the "School zone". Are you really that feckless and lazy tat you can't park around the corner? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I walked to school in blizzards without shoes on, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milton75 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Case in point. Last week I walked the boys into school. 9 year old runs off with his pals, but I walked the 5 year old up to his classroom. As I left the playground I say a white SUV parked right on the zig-zag lines. I thought "inconsiderate twat" to myself, and as I looked properly I recognised a personalised numberplate and a pretty brutal looking woman behind the wheel. It was the imbecile mother of a kid in the older boy's class. I hadn't recognised her car as she's obviously changed it over the summer, but I recognised the plates. I would love it if some traffic warden ticketed the lazy oik. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peil Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 The number of younger women who seem to drive along glancing into their laps for 2/3 seconds a time is mental.

Ah but you forget, HGV drivers are professional drivers who, like taxi drivers, drive to a far higher standard then us mere amateur drivers, and can therefore do more advanced stuff like using phones on the move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
