This grump from Knightroots is about the police driver who was recently let off when caught speeding at 159 m.p.h., on the grounds that he was "familiarising himself with a new car". Now its official - a policeman can drive at 159mph on a motorway and at speeds exceeding 65mph in a built up area - not only does he escape a charge for dangerous driving, he even escapes a speeding charge. Me? I do 36mph on an A road and get fined £60 but he gets congratulated by the judge for being a zealous cop for testing his car. The GOS says: Right on, Knightroots. One law for them, another for us. What I want to know is, why do the police need a car that can do 160 m.p.h.? If there's some loony on a super-bike doing a ton-and-a-half down a busy motorway, are they really going to give chase? Wouldn't that mean there'd be two loonies doing a ton-and-a-half down a busy motorway? Isn't that what they have helicopters for? either on this site or on the World Wide Web.
