I saw the local policewoman doing it while driving?

Why should she be allowed to use her phone when we can't????|||Report the ******... i hope the cow gets struck off....





(can you tell this is a major pet hate of mine)|||Good question...........they shouldn't be allowed, and oughta be reported!|||cause she has POWER, should of got urs out and said look I have one to while waving with the other hand lol|||It might have been the station calling to tell her something or to ask her to stay over because someone called out. Who knows why it`s not fair like that.|||Oh tell me about it...our local cop was spotted swigging out of a coke can whilst driving...but thats ok isnt it...!|||there seems 2 be alot of things they can do but we cant it makes me ssssooooooooooooo ANGRY|||it's official|||Maybe she was calling the station


to find out how many more Brownie point


she needed. as in writing out more traffic tickets.





Could happened.|||Because she is a police.


They can do anything they want, i know it's not fair.|||its normal and when you report it they will tell you we will look into it then they will tell you it was police business because her radio was not functioning or something of that nature|||was it on vibrate alert? lol|||It saddens me that over the years there seems to be a definite trend for the police in the UK to be subject to a different set of motoring laws to that of the rest of the UK public. For example, when a police officer is caught speeding when not on an emergency call, and on the rare occasion that the case comes to court, inevitably s/he is let off. Or the times when a police vehicle is caught on camera, but police efforts at identifying the driver come to nought and no charges are ever brought.


It's a shame this happens so often, because, speaking as a middle aged, middle class person who would normally be expected to respect and support the police, I now find myself wondering if there really is 'one law for the police driver and one for the rest of we motorists' and my regard for the police inevitably takes a bit of a hammering.





PS On recent traffic police TV programmes it has been noticeable how quite a few 'solo' police drivers, even when driving at high speeds, will use a 'phone or r/t handset. Some even manoeuvre their vehicles by using the palm of just one hand on the steering wheel rim! Now if Joe Public were seen doing such things, no doubt he would be 'given advice'! They are certainly not recommended methods in Roadcraft...|||Oooh, I do so agree with you.





Saw that myself one morning years ago, cop with his head down talking to his 'talking broach' and not looking at me busy cycling towards him - on my side of the road.





Also, a line of slow moving traffic leading to a roundabout, two cops on foot walking up the line of traffic and who saw but totally IGNORED the guy in the Range Rover who was talking on his phone while his car was in (slow) motion.





It's all quite antagonistic really.





Sash.|||Just like they can double park, run through red lights and various other things the rest of us can't do.
