What should I do at work today?
Discussion
Also - get the following:
1. cyclists who cycle wrong way down one way streets
2. cyclists who are colour blind at traffic lights
3. cyclists on pavements
4. drunk cyclists
5. cyclists who do not check their blind spots!
6. cyclists who do wheelies, and cycle "hands free"
7. Agressive loitering and j-walking
8. Pedestrians who clamber over steel barriers and proceed to moon walk.
10. Pedestrians who ignore pelican crossing's red man and run out into road way regardless of traffic!
11 Abrupt lane changers
12.Fast food junkies - complete with handy phone. (OOOh Look! No Hands!)
13. Parking with the hazard flashers. (Always illegally!)
14. headlight lovers, and those who never use handbrake at traffic lights and sit with foot on brake pedal!
15. Really slow drivers - below speed limit all the time at least 5mph below as constant!
16. Everyone else's pet peeves!

Nice one gRsf12!
Although when someone I arrested for drink driving the other week said to me "You're joking aren't you?", I did use the line "No, if I was joking, I would have said 'I say, I say, I say, I'm arresting you for providing a positive sample of breath...'"
Just couldn't help myself...

14. [...] those who never use handbrake at traffic lights and sit with foot on brake pedal!
(I realise your post was lighthearted, so please take mine in the same manner)

Liebchen! Aber doch!
But there is this guy every day - foot on brake pedal at traffic lights. Then he prat@arses around when lights change and if behind him - you never clear the lights at all! He is also the one who drives at 5mph below any posted speed limit, and if you try overtake him at any time, anywhere - he accelerates, glares at you and makes a rude gesture.
A right numpty!

Volvod5 dude - There are other officers (plain clothes and uniform) specifically tasked with dealing with "druggies", but should I find any driving, you'll be pleased to know I'm a "field impairment tester", so they'll at least be off the road.
Any other suggestions (of a traffic nature) you'd care to make?
Can you tell us what is involved in the impairment tests? I hope you don't use the one where we are asked to stand on one leg, throw our heads back, close our eyes and touch our nose without falling over.
Anyone care to try it.......sober and undrugged?

well seeing as WMHV70 has left for work now, perhaps we should have a sweepstake on how many different types of crime WMHV70 detects?? 
My guess:
Speeding Tickets Issued: 2
Vehicle Defects: 3
Inconsiderate Drivers lectured: 10
Accidents attended: 1
Dohnuts eaten: 7
Do you think just 7 Dohnuts? Dont they come in packs of 8 or 16?

Isn't that something to do with the EU "set aside" programme for farmers? Or is it GM crops?
And if it's "field impairment", it would be "off the road" wouldn't it? - Streaky
PS - agree with the others about what to watch out for and take appropriate action on - S

And in a mraked car, you do get the HALO effect... was in the ANPR car today (special treat), tried driving at 35 in lane one in a 50 zone to get reads from cars passing. Result? HUGE rolling block, gave up, turned off.
