I am reliably informed however, that traditonal, hard-hitting policing is still carried out in the Borough; A foot patrol goes out every other tuesday and thursday, weather permitting. There is no hesitation in making arrests, providing the paperwork can be done by knocking-off time.

Evey other bloody Tuesday and Thursday, the poor mites are going to be tired out

A lot of people have mentioned using a mobile phone whilst driving, it always baffles me about this. I the scheme of things the mobile phone is rather new, only 10 or so years ago if you wanted to make a phone call you had to schlep all over the place looking for one of those little red boxes by the side of the road, and if you couldn't find one which was working (most of them were vandalised) you had to wait till you got home or to where ever you were going. To me anybody caught using a mobile phone whilst driving should be an automatic 3 months driving ban, 6 months for a second offence and increasing by three months after that, maybe if this were to happen a few more minds may be focused on the fact that using a phone and driving is very dangerous and considering that not to long ago you couldn't do it anyway makes it more so. RANT OVER

Anything that distracts is dangerous.
I never use a car radio.
I have never bought a car radio.
When my current car came with one ready fitted, I tested it briefly before the warranty period ended just to see if it worked.
Whenever I have passengers, I politely explain to them before setting off, that I prefer not to have any conversation with them

Mmm, I'd not agree with you there Margaret. Music helps me focus. On my bike I tend to sing to myself whilst riding, luckily the engine's loud enough to drown me out

how about people that dont bother to indicate? nearly got hit by one of those this morning!

oh, and the people that think reversing the wrong way down a one way street is ok, just cos your car is facing the right way doesnt mean you can do it!
