When can I speed?

An interesting spin on things by the BBC makes interesting reading........... No judgements are being cast, you can form your own opinions.

Sir Alex Ferguson, was cleared of a traffic offence by explaining that severe diarrhoea and the need to reach a toilet prompted his driving on a motorway hard shoulder.

What a load of shite

Can you imagine getting stopped at the roadside by a copper:

PC: 'Any particular reason you were going 140mph Sir?'
You: 'Dodgy prawn, officer.'

[Mr E]

"Any particular reason you were doing 140mph Sir"
"Yes, it would have been a waste of a good road and a great car not to have done so"
"Fair enough, on your way"

Would be nice.....

Any time I'm in need of an Emergency Transplant or my home is being burgled or I am lying by the roadside..I hope that there's an Ambulance Driver or Police officer doing 120mph trying to get to me as fast as possible.

These guys don't do it because there's no reason..and the consequences for them if they make a mistake are very grave in terms of their career.

The Class 1 guys I've met were ordinary blokes who make a living doing something bloody dangerous (in some ways) because they thought it was necessary. I agree.

The fact that these two services are now in dispute IS BARMY! Fer gawd's sake someone high up in both services SORT THIS OUT NOW!
