Drunk driver eh???? Not my favorite person as I was nearly killed by one in 1996, I still have terrible trouble walking somedays, as someone as already said it's not the police, but the senile old sods who sit in the courts, The guy that hit me head on at over 100 mph walked out of court with a £375 fine and £125 costs and a ban for 15 months, I too have spent a day in a patrol car with Bedfordshire Police and I have to say my eyes were prized open with the skill these guys have BTW one of the officers I spent the day with was a lady and she could drive better than the guy,It was a day I will never forget.
Cheers

I know everyone beefs about the police,however I have to say that I had the privilege to spend 8 hours with 2 of the finest police officers around, in the High Pursuit Vehicle.
I can honestly say that after spending this time with them I now realize how much effort they put into a normal days work.
OK we all hate the police for speeding,however in the 8 hours I spent with them we ,arrested a drink drive,they witnessed other officers being spat at whilst under arrest,caught a car thief red handed,and also caught some guys after a burglary.
I must say a big thanks to Andy and Co and I now realize how much you put into the JOB!!
My personal perception of the Police has changed over night,they don't just deal with speeding offences,they deal with a lot of other issues as well.Just think, for every car thief they take of the road,the less there are to steal your pride and joy. Again a big thanks to Andy and Co for an excellent insight to the way the police deal with criminal issues.

Although there are occasional exceptions it isnt the actual Police officers I get annoyed with. They are usually doing their job even if they are slightly over zealous. It is the petty minded car haters in councils and in Government who legislate against the cars all the time that I hate.

Nice one mark.

You probably won't be surprised to hear that the police hate them also!

Mark,

It seems you can 'blagg' your way into almost anything

Biggest problem is the courts who then let the car thieves back out after a couple days and a slapped wrist, and a nice holiday in the Bahamas!
