Graham1984 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Not sure if there is any reason for it but are the police in your local area seaming to have a bit of a crackdown at the moment?? The only reason I ask is that around where I live the xmas/new year period is usually the time they are out doing drink driving/speeding checks except last year it seamed very quiet. I have noticed over the last week there seams to be an unusually high number of coppers everywhere I go, Is it a seasonal crackdown on untaxed and MOT vehicles as there are a few ANPR cameras about along with police at both ends of villages especially on the way to Chichester.

ashbuster Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 ive noticed coppers everywhere too its a good thing to keep uninsured drivers off the road but when you see 5 outside your house in 2 cars to arrest a young lad who has no history of violence or running then thats just pure silly.

Josh Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I've noticed them driving around a lot more recently and also an ANPR van sitting at the end of the main road by me a couple of times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 Oh yeah that's a good point actually about the tax year and in all fairness who would be surprised about that being a honest reason. I was tempted to write to the police and tell them that if they are hard up why don't they have a purge on the fog light morons that I see often every single day now rather than the odd occasion. Surely all them £30 fines or whatever it is would total up as I normally see about 15 people who do that on a 26mile round trip I do often which are on quite rural A roads. There was a women the other day that had full front and rear fog lights on a 4pm the other day which just takes the mickey IMO.The only downside to that is I wouldn't want to encourage there to be more police on the roads though.

SupraStar 3000 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I've heard the police are cracking down on predatory sex offenders. Maybe thats why you've seen the increase in police activity around your way Graham. Do you see that Pizza van with the Satellite dish thats been parked there 2 weeks. You do?? .....well nows the time to drop your hard-disk in acid vat and destroy the scrap books. Run my friend and burn the house now!!!!

johnny g Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 We could do with a few more around here, from the route by the end of the motorways to the City Centre. It's a minefield of horrendous drivers around there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham1984 Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 I do think the police should just drive around more in an unmarked car to see some of the stuff I have lately. My pet hates mainly at the minute are fog light idiots and more annoying thing is the people that drive at 40mph everywhere including both 60mph roads and through 30mph village's.

My pet hates mainly at the minute are fog light idiots and more annoying thing is the people that drive at 40mph everywhere including both 60mph roads and through 30mph village's. yeah i never get that. Why do people drive at 40mph on a 60mph road and then when they get to a village where the through road is 30mph they continue to drive at 40mph. Its like they dont know or cant drive any faster then that and dont even get me started on the foglight thing. Anyways im just getting my post up totted up:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 The road I live just off is a small lane and the mongs at the bottom of the hill park and leave there car there, I just about squeezed mine past somewhat being half on the bank getting my what was clean car dirty. What bugs me about that is when the fire brigade or ambulance need to get up there they would have to turn around and go the main road way..... Just typical people being dumb as ever and only concerned about themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
