don't make fecking assumptions about my life and driving experience
I would absolutely love to sit in on some of the training these arseholes undergo
The sessions on 'how to patronise' and 'demonstrating envy' must be absolute showstoppers
for the avoidance of doubt, I don't believe all Police officers fit the type described
it's just that I haven't met any

I know plenty of people who would have got away with a warning but decided to escalate matters by arguing with the officer at the roadside. Yes, I know it seems petty when you've been stopped for going a few MPH over the limit with all the other stuff going on these days but that is what the "Road Policing Units" are tasked to do. Most speed enforcement is directed to areas which have had high numbers of accidents or in response to complaints from the public.
