If I ever become Chief Constable, rest assured I will take on whatever government is in office and throw at them the REAL statistics behind speeding! I wish we were able to ticket pedestrians for dangerous walking, or similar. They cause more RTCs than anything else - something like seven out of ten? Perhaps PHer safespeed can supply more accurate figures? I think the level of common sense displayed by many bobbies precludes them from ever climbing the slippery pole.

Yes, the higher you get the more political the post. So (a) it takes a miracle for someone with a mind of their own to get to the top and (b) a brave person to challenge political commands from above.
