if you see one, tell them you thought they were pointing a gun at you, so you ran them off the road.
this will come as second nature to all the ex SAS hgv drivers there are.
the police are playing with fire.

At the moment it’s easy money for them
How can it possibly be “easy money for them” when they (the police) don’t get the money?
So, there is a fatal four - drink-driving, not wearing a seatbelt, using a phone and speeding. The fifth thing - watching a DVD - only caught two people.
Got to love the BBC’s reporting. 
Anyone know if they were watching anything worth while ? Seriously though, would they think I was watching a tv program as my tablet is used as my sat nav, camera and tacho timer. They can’t see the screen from passing me but I wonder what they’d make of it

because they collect it, then pay it to the government. then they ask for an increase in next years budget. this increase will include a wage rise, so therefore they indirectly get the money.
Cant really see the problem with having a film on in the background, some of these guys are driving around the clock so are bound to get abit bored.

That was until you voted for the local PCC and they decide how to spend the budgie food

So it’s not “easy money” at all - the link between the ticket any any increase in the police budget (let alone the copper’s wages) is at best tenuous, in practice non-existent.
Put it this way, if I was your employer and I offered you a task doing something that might increase my income by .0000000001% on the understanding that if it did, I might apply a similar percentage increase on next year’s wage negotiations, would you think it was “easy money”?
