This is not a Bib Bash but it is quite comical that police can fail to display , drive without insurance or MOT and not wear seatbelts.
Police vehicles are insured..(self insured for first £10,000), are all MOT'd and every single Officer on my shift wears seatbelts (except when transporting prisoners). An amazingly, they've all got in date tax discs. Hilarious innit!!Nearly up to seven pages now. (An I'm ashamed that I actually replied to a post in this ridiculous thread)
They cover third party risks as required by the RTA, they comply with it.
Have you any evidence of them not, or is it just more baseless hot air from you ?
No the reason I asked about the 10k was because I wondered if I could put 10k into a bank account as a surety and not pay insurance myself.

I have no problems if Police vehicles are exempt from road tax. What is the point of the government paying itself and creating extra bureacracy?
I used to say that about income tax in the army.If the government take road tax payments from the Police, they are left revenue neutral. If they don't, they are revenue nuetral.
If you pay Government staff gross and don't ask them to pay tax, that is not revenue neutral.

So are we all saying here that you want robotic enforcement of road traffic legislation here.
Because if you do, we certainly will oblige by robotically enforcing against everyone.
I thought that you all wanted discression and judgement to be used by police officers?
So how is half the posts here raging on about "one rule for them and one for us" "do the BiB for failing to display tax" using discression.
We use it often enough in favour of members of the public, How about we get cut some slack as well by the general public.
A seven page thread about failing to display a tax disk. What has this place come to.
How many of you have been stopped and advised / let off minor RTA offences by BiB?
You cant have it both ways im afraid.
I'm all for disrection, unfortunately as stated before, I'm in an area where there appears to be very little discretion due to trainees trying to make a good impression.Because if you do, we certainly will oblige by robotically enforcing against everyone.
