A policeman was banned from driving yesterday for a crazy 70mph stunt during a 999 call in which he took both hands off the steering wheel to give a thumbs-up to a speed camera.

PC David Mayes, 34, repeated the performance just over an hour later on a second emergency call.

He posed twice to the same camera in a 40mph built-up area, the first time driving at 68mph and the second, 73mph.

Hmm, driving around 70mph in a 40mph area with no hands.
Nope, can't think of any risks there.

It's dangerous and you expect a cop to be a stand up citizen.

lol so do I but not at 70mph... meh I guess it was because he was a policeman driving fast in an recidentual(sp?) area during an emergency posing for a speed cam =D

68 and 73 mph, not 88mph. You're like Fox News.
