Why are the Plod not looking into the matter? This always makes me think of the enormous differential in Plods activities around motoring matters.
I was done for speeding some years ago on a clear dual carriageway. When I asked Plod why I was being nicked, it was to help prevent accidents. So when they actually get some ridiculous aftermath of (presumably) poor driving, they don't want to know. There could have been MOP there or even a plod in the way. Would they have retained the same stance?
I read somewhere else that the Met solve only 2% of property crimes such as vandalism and burglary. What are they doing with their time please?
Confused.

You aren't really allowed to question which crimes the Police focus their purported 'limited resources' on.
Course you can, but there's nothing 'purported' about 'limited resources', after all they are finite not infinite.You aren't really allowed to question which crimes the Police focus their purported 'limited resources' on.

Nor can you suggest that driving safely at 5mph over the limit isn't dangerous.
Of course you can, only it won't always be safe or always be dangerous, it'll depend. It will however still be over the legal line drawn in the sand.johnfm said:

You are becoming as predictable as CarinaHawkYou aren't really allowed to question which crimes the Police focus their purported 'limited resources' on.

Catching people exceeding a speed limit is easy and simple to prove. Even a machine can do it!Why are the Plod not looking into the matter? This always makes me think of the enormous differential in Plods activities around motoring matters.

Prosecuting the bint who totalled this wagon would be more difficult, time-consuming and costly. With no guarantee of success.
Which would you choose to do, with your performance being monitored?

Don't forget the 'money for old rope' aspect of fining drivers who are driving perfectly safely, yet faster than an arbitrary limit imposed with no relationship to safety.Prosecuting the bint who totalled this wagon would be more difficult, time-consuming and costly. With no guarantee of success.
