Silly question for Bib

[Raify]

I'm walking through town and an officer is directing traffic to allow a military march of some sort...

So as we pass the policeman, he's got his hand up, stopping traffic and I dare my girlfriend to run up and give him a 'high five' :hehe:

Of course she refused (spoil sport!) but I was curious whether an actual offence might have been committed.

Stupid I know..

Im guessing obstruction

Assualt if he's having a bad day.

Where PC in uniform and engaged in regulation of traffic in a road, anybody ON FOOT who proceeds across or along the road in contravention to stop given by PC is Guilty of an offence. (S.37 RTA 88)

Fine up to a maximum of £1,000.

.....and could receive a disqualification from driving a motor vehicle.

hehe, Cheers DVD. A veritable fountain of knowledge on traffic laws.

So, not an offence for the high five per se, just for not stopping!

Poor bloke looked really bored, I was just thinking about cheering his day up!

Perhaps a little 'Gaviscon' type dance routine

:heh: unfortunately, the officer in question wasn't an unfeasibly attractive Italian lady, just a bored looking, slightly chubby gentleman...

This better not have been Lincoln, else that "chubby" copper might have been me! (its just relaxed muscle anyway!)

Nope, this was 'darn sarf' in Kent.
