Traffic Cops
This programme makes my blood boil!
They pull someone over for a serious crime and you sit there thinking, "they're gonna throw the book at him" then at the end of the show the tell you what the punishment finally was. People that are disqualified from driving end up getting a further ban from driving....and that's it. Is that really a deterrent? They were *caught* driving whilst not being allowed to - offf course they'll do it again! Driving with a lorry a third over it's legal limit gets 3 points on the licence and a £100 fine. Where's the incentive not to do it again? Jeez. It seems that its people that have previous experience of the law that are major offenders. Scummers. How about making everyone convicted of a serious offence (driving whilst disqualified/uninsured/unmotted/excessive speed etc) do community work so they give something back to the community that they don't think anything about. |

Re: Traffic Cops
Did you see the plonka of a copper who, apparently is a "Biker" trying to start the little 50cc ped and then to cap it off, drives off with the helmet un-done!

Re: Traffic Cops
no. make them do work for a family who have lost their loved one/s because of said disqualification.

Re: Traffic Cops
Oh my god that annoys me too! The latest one I saw only a few days ago was some guy in a stolen BMW, led the cops on a chase, got caught, and then "there wasn't enough evidence that he stole it" and so he got let off! What is wrong with the punishment system these days?!
