You may have read recently that the Metropolitan Police have been put in special measurers, I assume from this that someone has realised they are incompetent.

If you burglarise some-ones home, rob a shop or defraud some-one on-line – the police don’t want to know; but drive at 5 miles an hour above the speed limit, and you will feel the full force of the law (and this is everywhere in the UK, not just in London).

The Police like to claim that they police with the consent of the populous – well, they certainly don’t have my consent to hound motorists for minor infractions while not bothering burglars, shoplifters and fraudsters.

To my mind all UK police forces should be put in special measures and instructed to stop harassing motorists and start harassing criminals.

Jeez, get over it and stop blabbing.
The laws are there to keep the roads safe.
You got caught for minor offences, but they are really there to stop bad drivers. None of us want bad drivers ruining our journeys, so the laws are both welcome and necessary.

My continued posting on this topic relates to the fact that ABers think my appalling driving is worse than being a scammer – scamming people out of their life savings.

Despite my appalling driving record – personally I think these scammers, scamming people out of their life savings are to be more reviled than me.
//Should I ever be up before NJ on some driving charge – I’d expect my appalling driving record to get a mention.//

Only if you plead guilty or are found guilty following a trial. And only then if the offences are less than five years old.

You must be reading a different thread, Hymie. I've just had a quick glance through the 43 responses and the only person I can see who mentioned a comparison with scammers is er....you.
Hymie just let it all hang out
and breathe
and you will feel better
HYMIE, why did you choose to take the speed-awareness course instead of points on your licence?
