 Common sense policing - Badwolf
Hello all,

My friend was telling me that the other day he was driving to work at 0630 and 'making progress'. He was stopped by an unmarked police BMW (not that the make of car has any bearing!) and informed by the policeman that he had been doing an average of 72mph. In a 50mph zone.

However, rather than summons my friend, the policeman said to him something along the lines of "well, we could go with the destructive method here, but shall I just give you a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt?". I suspect that my friend must have passed the so-called 'attitude test' with flying colours.

If only it could always be like that...

PS - I should point out that my friend was genuinely remorseful that he's been doing that speed and has said to me that he knows he was totally in the wrong.
