You can blame labours zero tolerance approach for the lack of common sense the cops are ALLOWED to show in this day and age.years ago if you got caught fucking about in the car it was bog bollocking time,if you were cocky you got done,if you were sorry you went home with your tail between your legs.

Those days are long gone I'm afraid,it's all about the $$$ now.I saw a copper blatantly talking and laughing and joking on his mobile the other day while driving,he glanced quickly at me and still carried on his conversation.

Ok,I live in a quiet area but how is it ok for him to use it and not anyone else?

I got done myself last year,bang to rights to be fair and although I held my hand up to the copper he still gave me the usual "if a child had been killed routine"..........strange as I was on an empty dual carriageway,but I was in the wrong and that's that.

As for affecting your insurance dojj it made absolutely no difference to mine whatsoever,nobody said that they wouldn't insure me either so please try and get your facts correct DOJJATRON!!!!
