How often do the B'sib stop an expensive car and give the owner the full-works, out of spite/envy when, if a wreck was doing the same offence the owner would be let off? Or, does it work in reverse; that is, do the scroates driving the wrecks get the full weight of the law whilst those with well maintained, but expensive cars get a warning for their momentary lapses?

Obviously the B'sib on this list are fair minded citizens first and B'sib to keep the wolf from their doors, but what about their colleagues?

In my experience they are all treated the same.

Made me laugh about 6 months ago i stopped a guy in a TVR (an old one at that) for doing a red light and he had the ordasity to say to me, "youve only stopped me because im driving something that you cant afford".

So we do meet allsorts and most times they are are not very well informed at all!

I normally stop sheds with druggies in.
However, I did stop a Bentley mulsanne turbo once, that somehow didn't look right (tony will confirm a strange sixth sense). It contained a dealer, with a bunch of warrants.

Bloody nice car though.

Only those with tax-free incomes seem to drive that sort of car.

Shouldn't say it, but the attitude test can affect the use of discretion.
