A policeman who made 'thumbs up' gestures to speed cameras while racing to emergencies has been banned from driving.

David Mayes, 34, took his hands off the wheel to make the signals on the way to two 999 shouts.

serves the cocky little cnut right

 

pmsl @ that pic

 

What a knob

 

Surprised the world didn't stop spinning when he did that....
Driving without due care and attention.
Due care - didn't crash despite giving a thumbs up and doing 30mph over posted limit.
Attention - Even at 30mph over the posted limit he knew where the camera was.
Don't see the big deal myself, no harm in a little cockiness.

 

hahaha what a tosser!

 

GOOD!

What if someone had stepped out into the road as he was doing well over the speed limit, with his hands off the wheel and looking at the camera rather than the road.

He is supposed to set an example for the public, not be a cocky twat who would have jumped all over a normal member of the public caught doing the same.

They'd be dead of course, regardless of what he was doing.
Unless it was quite a way off, in which case matey with him would give him the nudge.

 

i bet he's still getting paid while he's suspended right?

 

 

classic

 

Aint that a bitch

 

what a nobber

 

I live just up the road from this speed camera! LOL

 

Nice to see a member of the bacon crew getting a taste of their own medicine, shame he didn't crash and break a leg

What?? You don't have to crash to be driving without due care and knowing where the camera is and looking directly at it shows that he wasn't paying attention to the road. If it had been Joe public that had done it and he had caught them he'd have thrown the book at them most likely. I think he should have had his mind on his driving and the job he was on. I hope they stick him in an office permanently.

Good enough for the piggy fooker!

 

No doubt; we're not allowed to exceed posted limited, so a big difference in severity of the offence.

 

Don't be such a pig lover, the same geezer would probably being eating take away whilst someone is robbing your house, or the same sort of pig that would nick his own grandmother




Luciano

 

That's the sad and predictable thing with threads concerning the police, you always get someone on the same intellectual level as an Amoeba calling you a pig lover.

This one could well have been on his way to a burglary

 

I wonder if its the same one that stopped me for my number plate the day after my husbands bike got nicked (they got the little scumbag but only after someone saw it on camera and told them who he is) the police didn't try overly hard to do anything about it. I know they get a bad press and can't all be bad but the majority of ones I have come across are trying too hard to get the figures up by targeting motorists (easy pickings) and not arresting criminals, I hope they make an example of him, cocky twat.

Or a doughnut shop

Debs

 

No mention of him being done for speeding

 

Can't have been the doughnut shop then lol, maybe he was on his way to a real crime

Debs

 

Let me tell you something you fucking maggot, there is nothing wrong with my intellectual level, I do quite well for myself, there is also a big difference between someone calling you something and advising you not to be something so your statement above shows that your intellectual level is not where it should be.

If you have witnessed pig brutality from my perspective then you would understand why I tend to give them a bit of stick when it comes to threads like this.

Now fuck off



Luciano

 

Cor you're an angry man, don't think I've ever seen you post without telling someone to fuck off!
Get laid mate, will help

 

Don't know what posts you've been reading

I never curse at people unless they say something that that gets my goat, and don't worry about me I've had the same girl at my side for 20 years so a lay aint an issue, not that its any of your fucking business anyway.

Bottom line don't expect not to get grief when you slag people or insult their intellegence



Luciano

 

Go give it a try Chris lol...dont forget to comb yer hair 1st.

 

The same matey who's grinning like a moron with his thumb stuck up aswell?

 

The people who I have piccies of doing a three point turn after driving the WRONG WAY UP A DUAL CARRIAGEWAY ie against traffic flow didn't even get spoken to, oh sorry they worked for the police as safety camera men, but are NOT police officers just civilians.
This copper should have got done, he is taking the piss when he knows, or rather thinks he can get away with it, mind you as his superior was banned for speeding he was only going by example set!!
tabetha

 

i agree with tabetha they get away with it all the time the guy is so stupid i hope they throw the book at the idoit

 

he should of got points too imo

 

Charlie for some reason whenever you tell people to fuck off I can't stop laughing

I really need to get out more

 

ERRR no hands on the wheel like he had is automatic driving without due care..

And if its no big deal why did his own force prosecute him They thought it was a big deal and were correct in banning him

 

Gary lol mate apparently my posts are always angry and contain curses at people according to certain members on PF

I've told you a million times don't exaggerate



Luciano

 

well whats the point in them arresting criminals? They do all the work catching them, do all the paperwork, send them to court and the judge slpas em on the wrist Its crap for the police imo.....

 

all i can say is hard luck pc plod
yesterday we got stopped for not wearing a seatbelt. fair enough as its the law but 3 times the copper got a call over the radio to attend an urgent incident right around the corner from where theyed stopped us but 3 times she said they were to busy. she took ages to write out the ticket then made a cunt of it and started again.nearly 20 minutes all in.
meanwhile around the corner a teenage girl from the local highschool was getting her head jumped upon by some local neds. made a right mess of her. good to know the police have their priorities right
