They are so full of shit it's untrue
Any normal member of the public with more driving talent in the tip of their little finger than half of the coppers do in their whole body would have had the book thrown at them. Such a load of bollocks

Here's the link. I think it's a load of pish, no matter what excuse you use it's obvious why he got off with it.

I've watched and followed police cars on many times and some of the driving is beyond piss poor. Although granted these do tend to be the Astra's and the like as opposed to the traffic cars.

Can anybody point out where I said traffic coppers couldn't drive?
I didn't say that at all. Maybe I could have worded my comment better to avoid any confusion. My point being that had a GOOD normal member of the public been caught at that speed they would have found themselves in court and received a very long driving ban and possibly faced prison.

In reading your post Rich if my post offended then I apologise. I feel miffed at the double standards that continually crop up and maybe I should have though about my post a little better.
As said no offence was intended

Flo he was driving a V6 Vectra! so he must have been flat to the boards in it!
Personaly i think he should he should have lost his license etc. Its all a load of rubbish familierising him self with the car, If he want to do that he should have ask prior permision and let other police offical know. At the end of the day if he crashed into a member of your family and killing them, but he explains he was "testing" the car how would you feel. As said one rule for one and another for us!

Well the outcome seems to be that the speed is ok if your are not driving dangerously and if the road is deserted and driving conditions are good ????? Whilst i appreciate he may well be a very good driver no mention is made of anything that he done that an ordinary high powered car driver cant do. I assume he was doing this speed in a straight line so no brain required to do that So how many people have points due to flying down a deserted motorway early morning only to be pulled by the hiding police car and nothing else in sighyt ?

Fookin typical, even the law says the police may do no more than speed limit in normal conditions and only in emergency conditions at the most double the speed limit.
Even on the motorway thats 20mph over the limit

I reckon its just sour grapes. Would you lot be so quick to shout "lock him up" "take his licence from him"
If he were an ambulance driver? Just driving a company car at full whack? Of course Fucking not
You lot just hate the police for no decent reason. You're just brainless Chavs the majority of you

Had the officer in question been on a shout I think the vast majority of people wouldn't raise an eyebrow over it. Just trying the cars capabilities and just wringing the cars neck for the hell of it (so it seems) stinks of injustice.
The brainless chav comment I happen to find quite offensive so we'll call that one all
Incidentally I don't hate the police at all. Most of the officers I meet are pretty sound and I've always said that. People are not happy with yet another case of diar double standards

For once I totally agree with Rich...
And Westy.. you're being a cock.. what kind of statement is that to make??
"they're still wankers" (i assume that was how you meant to spell "there"!)
some cops are total cunts.. no doubt, but i don't think generalising like that is at all fair!

So you lot would be happy to take an ambulance driver or a fireman away from his job, make him unemployed, put him in financial strife just because he was caught speeding on a fairly empty piece of motorway?
Still be happy that the PUBLIC SERVICE officer wasnt there to help you or your family in a moment of need?
My while point is that a) He wasnt endangering anybody and more importantly b) We need him to do his job! A job that more than 1 other person relies on him to do!
He didnt injury anybody did he?
Oh and I cant believe ANY of you believe the world is FAIR. Good thing too if you ask me.

I also recall an ambulance driver who was delivery a heart for an urgent transplant in another county, and he got pulled for speeding ,just over a hundred , now that speed was justified not like this twit who was out playing , and it seems he does it quite often and no consequences I dont hate the police and certainly am not a chav ? as you put . Do i assume your a police man ? You pull oranoco about a so called offensive comment and then call the majority of us brainless chavs ??? double standards.... you must be a police man
