9 hrs on the M1 and guess how many police cars we see?

How could you spend 9 hours in the M1 and do high speed runs? It's not much over 200 miles long:p

I've travelled most of the country on some occasions and not seen 1 traffic car

Although typically, 2 show up when I was arsing about with a mate I bumped into in the motorway (not literally bumped :D ).

They may deny it, but there is deinetly less road policing than there was 5 years ago :(

Tiggs 25 July 2004 08:20 PM

Technically no - just arsing around...stop reading into it too much! :rolleyes: Although I'd like see someone getting done for unnessecarily blowing their horns :D

I am sad to see less proper traffic police, as driving standards on the roads have become more and more appauling over recent years. Motorways can become almost infuriating at times (and anyone who knows me - rage and me just doesn't happen! ). Everything is focused on cameras, which only enforces one law and nothing else, I'd much prefer it the other way round.

As Jeremy Clarkson pointed out a couple of weeks ago (on the much maligned TG), if Peter Sutcliffe was about now he wouldn't have been caught:eek:

yes its 200 miles to leeds but when there has been an accident and you hardly move in 2 hrs then you wanna put ya foot down! :)
