Got to love Derby Police!

Literally within 150' feet of each other...

Sat behind a Police car (followed him for 1/2 mile) in a line of traffic when he suddenly pulls out from the line of traffic and starts bollocking an Astra driver... When the gap on the inside appears I filter down the inside and the pillock (astra driver!) has 4' of ladder sticking out of the front passenger window :shock: I had to swerve to get past safely and as I did I could hear the policeman having a RIGHT go at the prawn

Now at the lights which just turn red as I get there... I sit and wait, check the car behind (ASL), lights go green...

Pull off, check pedal, accelerate, shoulder check, look forward... SWERVE VIOLENTLY to avoid pratt who had stopped and then driven straight through the Red light. The guy did it so blatently, I checked again to make sure that other people had followed me through the green :?

Then stay right (one way stretch, two lanes) to get out of the way of the Police car THAT WAS DIRECTLY BEHIND the guy that RLJ'd!!!

Blue lights, sirens, car pulls over... I go past them both and have a shared look with the copper... I'm not entirely sure who was more stunned! 8)

Good to see somewhere that still has traffic police on the roads

I think a lot of bad behaviour is driven by the fact that motorists perceive they can get away with it as in these traffic camera days, traffic police on the roads have been cut right back.

I have to say, I DO agree... it was really comical that two different traffic cars got two different offenders within 150' of each other within 2 minutes

Great to hear something positive about the police for once

See it just goes to show that if thee and me can see these things going on every day, so can the police, but only if they're out there, not stuck doing paperwork or whatever.

Yeah, it's best the police don't do paperwork. Back in the old days, a copper's job involved a gentle stroll, a bit of how's your father with the strumpet at number 32, cuffing a few cheeky scrumpers round the ear, collecting some bribes from illegal street vendors before returning to the station to watch a suspect repeatedly fall down the stairs. No paperwork required!
