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

LMAO9OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Edited by --ss-- (Forum Super Moderator): Please do not post pointlessly.
I can't help it.
I'm on the cell phone, thats 1 hand off the wheel, change the song, fix the seat, change the temp ect and the same time, thats 2 hands off the wheel.
I do it all the time, if you're going straight you'll be fine!
68 and 73 mph, not 88mph. You're like Fox News.Quote:

That would have so been worth it for the speed camra pics.
That's what I'm thinking lol.
Have speed cameras changed? I always thought they shown the number plate... Or have I been watching the wrong thing?
I'm pretty sure they show the driver. My dad got done for speeding not long ago and tried to claim it was my mum. Got a response along the lines of "judging from the picture it's clear to see it was you". :PQuote:

My dad drives down the motorway with no hands on the wheel half the time.
Obvs if his tires are pumped correctly.
He is already an advanced motorist like most Police are, not to mention it was also 4:58am, no one else would be on the road and it was just for three seconds. There wasn't an accident and it wouldn't surprise me if there wasn't any moving vehicles within half a mile of him.
Political Correctness gone mad, all he's doing is having a laugh and making us laugh, but we ban him? We're going to turn into a hell of a boring society at this rate.
He fully deserved it. It only takes a mili second for someone to stop concentrating and to lose control of a car, and at the speed he was going the result could of been deadly.
They're may not of been cars on the road, but he was putting his collegue's life in danger and he is also setting a bad example.
O.o his collegue was in on it. look at the pic?Quote:

What a ****.
He looks alot more miserable with the dude in the car.
haha what a complete idiot. glad hes been banned!
The collegue wasn't driving though was he? Im sure the other cop hasn't been banned.Quote:

The fact he didn't have his hands on the wheel is an offence in itself.Quote:

As hitting a stone with your hands on the wheel you don't notice but you run over a stone without holding the steering wheel then the car will turn. The fact he is also in a 30mph (I think) he shouldn't even be going them speeds - it's only because he's a "trained" Police officer that he is allowed to do so. So if he takes his hands off the wheel that means all the training has been wasted on a muppet.Quote:

Takes longer than a milisecond to loose control of a car , n hitting a stone in the road will not send you veering off into a burning fireball , my hunch is that most people on here who are glad he was banned , are people that have never driven a car , so they wouldnt know what its like to take your hands off the wheel ;)
serves him right
do you drive a car?Quote:

haha its not like anyone would have been hurt.
the way i look at it - it wouldn't take a millisecond for the car to hit a small stone in the road, flip over and turn into a flaming fireball.
no, this was early morning, on a 999 call, so bear in mind if there was any traffic it would have moved out of the way for the car. and these are qualified police officers trained to drive at high speed.
Whether it was 5am or 5pm, he was still acting irresponsibly, he shouldn't of done it.
since when was it legal to overtake on a zebra? you could hit someone crossing ? :SQuote:

I think he means the lines you get in the middle of a wide road (normally a duel carriage way) not a zebra crossing :)Quote:
