[DarrenSV650S]

Mr Mancini, from Ayrshire, was handed a £60 fixed penalty and given three points on his driving licence. .... for blowing his nose :confused:

It could have been alot worse. maybe the police thought he was a terrorist and was about to
...engage inbound bogies and terminate with extreme prejudice...
or
"Ghost Rider, this is Strike. We have unknown aircraft inbound Mustang. Your vector zero-nine-zero for bogey" (Top Gun Thread... ;-) )



sorry, I agree, handbake on and waiting at traffic lights... !!! The police man must have been having a bad day.

Thinking about it, how on earth have i avoided not sneezing in my helmet O.O

I thought that if your engine's running and you are in traffic and don't have two hands on the wheel then you aren't in control. Someone must know the hardline rules.

This is uber crazy communist policing but it probs doesn't happen a lot.

Yep, for being stupid enough to park somewhere they could be found!

How do you shift gears then? ;)

Assuming there is nothing more to this story than the press are telling us...

Quite rightly the guy is on a publicity spree telling the world how utterly ludicrous this is. He was even on breakfast telly this morning. Things like this do not do the police any favours in the public's eye and will no doubt make cretinous types ask why they were not out solving "real" crimes.

He is scottish, so its fair

news is sooo depressing, that link is quite funny but reading the other headlines is a real drain.

+1 including not stopping the nobs who continue to use their mobiles at the wheel

Hope that doesn't label me as a cretin :rolleyes:

Don't the Construction & Use Regs have a max size of hooter. Saw him on breakfast TV, his was rather big:lol:

That's being Nose-ist Ed :p

Perhaps that's why the Police picked on him. Probably an infringement on his Human Rights, no?

If you are in control of the speed and direction of the vehicle then you are driving. So sitting in the drivers seat, with the keys in the ignition, engine on and hnadbrake on he is most definately, as the definition goes, driving. However, if what is reported in the news is true then I find this beyond belief!

[Thingus]

I just remember getting told off for taking both hands off the wheel even when i was parked up by my driving instructor :p he was a hardline git though.

Good god, I hope I never get caught like this when I'm working. Drinking, eating, texting, dialling numbers, reading paperwork, writing little bits on notepads and just about everything else you do in a normal working day whilst driving at 100+ on the motorway.
