learly? In a group comprising 9 good drivers and one poor one, how many are above average?
8.8 of them are probably one standard deviation from mediocre. Assuming a mean average and a normal distribution. I used to have a weekend hobby job which included being a passenger (Mostly) in Police vehicles.
Probably half of them were poor drivers, even with the training they'd had.
So many near misses.

There have been many PH debates over the years with the police claiming to be driving gods I used to have a weekend hobby job which included being a passenger (Mostly) in Police vehicles.

With plod there was he able to get tickets issued?
No because he was there in an observational role. The driver will be getting a home visit to discuss his driving though and can expect his car to be very closely checked for any faults or undeclared insurance modifications.
heads speeding through their village. As someone who lives on the edge of a village speeding in a residential area is pretty antisocial for the residents.
It is unlikely you will get a ticket (but some CSWs can). The speed watch is the first stage in further speed limit reductions, regular police speed traps or permanent speed enforcement. In speeding you increase the likelihood of this and in rude gestures, you strengthen the resolve of the CSW to get things implemented.

Interesting. If the car is currently parked off the road, say in a garage, is this a right? If the above visit happened to me, I'd probably refuse on principle ( my car has no mods).
Whose business is the state of my car if its parked in my garage and is not part of a criminal investigation. Is this really a thing?

Only reasonable thing i could think of that would make sense, as i know one of my mates had something similar about 5 years ago. He was pulled in his modded M3 for not wearing his seatbelt. After dealing with that they checked the mods had been declared (they were) before letting him on his way.

The details collected by CSW (numberplate, location, time and speed) can be added to the intelligence databases used by the police - one CSW scheme near us regularly clocked a speeder near the school (same time, on 5 different occasions). Turned out the force wanted to 'discuss' another matter with him and so waited near that location at around the time he'd been clocked - picked him up easily on the first day.It is unlikely you will get a ticket (but some CSWs can).

Other reports had been useful for county lines investigations apparently too.
I got a letter through the post from one of these groups telling me off for doing 36mph in a 30.
I most certainly was not, for starters I'm pretty careful to watch my speed in 30 limits. This group had a sign as you entered the village, so I was even more vigilant of my speed when they appeared a couple of hundred meters later.
It made me quite cross when the letter came through. I assume too many people obeying the speed limit, so they had to make a few up to justify there cause.
