The Take-Away Run
Discussion
Question for the resident BiB,
I live in a small village in Nth Lincolnshire the village has a 30mph limit throughout, going to work last night at my road end I was passed by a Rover estate traffic car at approx 80.
We have some awesome roads between us and the villages either side and it would be unfair to say that people don't take advantage and stretch their legs on those sections, so I get out my road end and think sod it I'll see if I can keep sight of him, entering the NSL outside the village I wind up to around 90/100 but cannot keep with the traffic car as it zooms off into the horizon.
After about a 5 mile stretch I enter the next village where BiB is placeing
a large order at the chippy.
This isn't a bashing thread but should this sort of behavior go unreported? I suppose they would laugh about it (IMHO).
Don't get me started on the PSCO's who drive round like the frigging Sweeney in their Corsas.

I think more people need to have video cameras installed & running whilst they drive. Like in the USA.
for less than £200 you can buy a digital camera, a big memory card and a bracket.
I am thinking of doing it as I drive alot. I was stopped last year and the Officer didn't caution me yet later said that they had done.

There is a looping camera you can pick up on fleabay for about £35 and I was considering to use in case of a prang, but I don't know whether they meet the criteria for gathering evidence...for less than £200 you can buy a digital camera, a big memory card and a bracket.

If it bothers you then make a complaint, might be seen as a bit rich considering your speed.I live in a small village in Nth Lincolnshire the village has a 30mph limit throughout, going to work last night at my road end I was passed by a Rover estate traffic car at approx 80.

You will notice the speeds have no unit of measure.

Whether you're right or wrong, that doesn't excuse the officer collecting the food.
There are so many what ifs with the reasons for the BiBs speed that we aren't going to sort it here. Maybe he was an arse, maybe he wasn't.As I've said if the OP is really bothered by it then make a complaint. However, it would appear to be a bit rich would it not?

Who knows what he was doing, could have been on his way to a job and got cleared before arrival?. Who knows, he could have been booting it to get his dinner, which obviously is a no no.
Make a complaint if you wish, if he was booting it to get his dinner then he needs a word in his shell.

couldnt BIB have been on a training run & stopped for food while discussing the run they just had with the instructor?
I assume they get night training as its a hell of a lot different to day driving isnt it?
or just 'practice' id rather than practice than crash on blues as they aint been quick for a week.

As an officer you are allowed a break of 45 minutes on a shift to eat etc, however you can be called out at any point to deal with a job that may take about 6 hours to deal with. I've lost count of the amount of dinners I've taken into work that I've had 2 mouthfuls of before having to dash out for a job and by the time I've got back its stone cold/ruined/eaten by someone else.
Most officers if they don't bring in a few sarnies will eat out on the hoof, which we're allowed to do. If you dont take your food out in the car with you, you can go for an entire shift without being able to get into the station for a brew/bite to eat. Personally I wouldn't take sarnies out in a car with me as the last thing I want to do is sit and eat in the car I've been in all day.
It strikes some people as odd but we have to eat, the same as everyone else. No one bats an eyelid at the office worker grabbing chips at lunch from the chippy so why should it be different for Bib, after all we're just as entitled to a lunch break as everyone else. We go into chippys in uniform due to the fact we quite often have to leg it out to jobs without getting to the front of the line.
And thats if we get time to eat at all on a shift, its not uncommon on a busy late/night shift to be run ragged that you don't get an opportunity to take a break, chill out and eat.
There are no canteens in nicks anymore, they cost too much money, you're lucky if there's a vending machine with something in it to be fair now!.

indeed, the officers in question may have been running to feed the local stakeout keeping tabs on jim down the way who isnt insured to drive his third car for business use through a technicality, we all know what sort of threat to society jim holds.Hooli said:

yes, training for the station record for the chippy run?
