Have we done with last week's episode now?

Good, yesterday's. . . .

The cop who ended up having a "Pol-ac" with the red Clio seemed to be a bit of a weapon.

From watching the video he had plenty of time to brake once the Clio indicated but didn't even lift off, just kept going.

Just because you have your blues 'n' twos on doesn't mean you can forget all you other basic driving rules.

So the Clio shouldn't have pulled out, but if I were to hit every car that pulled out on me when it shouldn't I'm sure I'd up being in the wrong some how.


Then we get the gobby Irish bloke getting himself a lot more hassle than I'm sure he wanted. Would have been much easier to say "hit a pothole / rock (whatever) on the way home, given the time of night I thought I'd limp it back home where I can sort it out. I can leave it here and come back with a spare wheel later" etc... It's pretty easy to be polite, and generally when I've been stopped I've always been treated politely too - wonder why??

 

I agree Dan with you on the Pol-Ac. He couldn't understand the attitude of the teenager. How many different types of person in different situations has he seen over the years and he can't comprehend his attitude

The other situation. IMO the officer came across as a cocky twat who needs bringing down a peg or two.

 

They do ... it happens time and time again.

In my experience .... and backed up by stats (info from HM Inspectorate of Constabulary's report into Roads Policing a few years back .... which I did read ... before falling asleep).

 

Although if the uninsured driver hadn't been illegally on the road ..... makes you wonder what other skills he's lacking.

 

You wouldn't, if a car pulls out into moving traffic, the insurance company would see it as their fault. Indicating doesn't give you the right to pull out. Remember the driving test - Mirror, signal, manoeuvre.

A good driver would have at least covered the brakes, but the Clio driver couldn't have missed the blue lights it he'd so much as glanced in the mirror.

 

His general attitude to the whole thing showed why he just pulled out - complete and total lack of self responsibility.

 

Not the brightest sparks welsh dibble...

Where are we?

 

not much of interest on that programme

apart from showing how strange the Welsh are

ps............... soulcrew, why is this there a police car in the backgound of your pic and why can't you park betweeen the lines ??
