Check out www.police999.com

Theres some interesting viewpoints on there, some match those of our resident plod but theres also some vastly different opinions out there as well so its worth a look.

Do any of our guys post on there?

Not seen it before. Might have a look.

It's probably a bit "PEERRRRRRRLIIIIICE", though.

I'd imagine PH has a wider slew of opinions...

Said the views were a bit different than our BiB's didn't I. That speed camera thread was a gem, sounded like a party political broadcast.

A condescending copper said:


And before I get accused of being 2holier than thou" again, I do speed. Only on motorways and when it is safe (as a response driver I know when that is).


Any response drivers here care to tell me when it's safe to speed on motorway's Please? Obviously as an MOP I can't possibly figure it out on my own...would it be when it was snowing?

If the government could tell us what the police driver's are told, then we could all use our judgement too, rather than have to conform to arbitrary restrictions.

What this suggests to me is that they (the authorities) have no faith in the current driving test standard. We should sue the government for putting new drivers on the road without enough training to be able to make informed decisions rather than just persecute driver's because it is assumed that we are all uncapable of judging road conditions....

Mmmmh. To be honest, the last thing I want to do, when I get in from work, is to log on to a web site like that, and talk shop. Get enough of it at work. That said, to be fair it looks like a good site.

I've heard of the Black Rats in bike mags.
Excuse my ignorance, but what/who are they?
