S-Westerly Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 @S-WesterlyUnfortunate fact of life, some twats in every occupation, I do however still defend the police as generally they are trying to do a good job and constantly dealing with the worst 5% of the population on a daily basis.I have been know to buy the odd mcd or a coffee for any emergency service folk, you never know when you may need them. Most of the ones I've met have been really good especially the one who stopped me on the old A1 near Scotch Corner doing 120 mph. It was late at night and apart from scaring the crap out of me and giving me a well deserved ticking off let me go on my merry way. This was about 30 years ago mind. A week later I got 3 points and a fine for doing 36 in a 30 so I suppose it was karma. Quote
Tiggie Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 I have been know to buy the odd mcd or a coffee for any emergency service folk, you never know when you may need them. When I worked nights at a petrol station I used to let police come in and would make them a brew, they appreciated it and it caused much needed entertainment when the resident stoners would come round for their rizlas and shit themselves seeing coppers in the shop I had a few different things involving police that happened to me there and I always got along with them fine, I even had to go to court as a witness to a police assault that happened on the forecourt One of my favourite funny moments with police happened one night after I had just refused some cigs to a clearly too young teen, a car pulled up at the pump and out stepped a local officer who had finished her shift and was filling up before going home. The teen approached her and (from what she told me afterwards) offered her a quid to buy him some cigs, She pissed herself laughing as she got her I.D. Lanyard out to show him. He made off pretty sharpish Quote
Guest Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 Stupid riding......end of! Inappropriate speed for the environment that he was in.Hedges everywhere, hidden junctions, and he's riding well above his abilities as you can see by the lines he's taking. He's all over the place!I'd put money on it that he knows that road well.......and is riding according to what he's seen in the past.......not according to what he can see now. That's why the truck caught him out.He put himself in that position.......maybe he'll learn from it, but somehow I doubt it. Quote
