    Yes this is true the cop was well within the legals in the case of the elderly scooter rider
    If anything the van that swerved 1m from the cop car (texting driver in the van has been quoted by one witness) and the scooter rider was very suddenly faced with the Police car in the usual position they take, covering the officers spot to stand on the road at te offenders driver door
    No cop blame this week
    Just ride.

    Sorry, I was being overly gentle when I said, "Over zealous".

    "Stupid" would have more appropriate.

    WTF did he think the yellow lines were there for?
    It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    I know the stretch of road very well. There is absolutely no reason why the poor guy on the scooter shouldn't have seen a car let alone a car with flashing red 'n blues (allegedly).
    If he got a fright due to suddenly seeing the cop can once the van in front of him had moved, obviously he was traveling way too close to the van.

    Once again...where the cop car had 'parked' is in plain view when driving/riding down that stretch of road.

    makes me wonder, who the fu** would decide to do an u-turn on a open road and close to a hill.
    i'm disgusted.

    Oh silly me, put up the Christmas Tree and it's all right and cosher.

    Except in this case - it was NOT!

    If the cop hadn't done that the old guy would be still with us.

    That's Kosher (wheres Hitch when we need him?) and well...what the hell else is a cop meant to do to be seen on a straight, wide, suburban st?

    What the hell...dude wake up...this is nothing like the u-turn on the hill..... this was a mistake by the rider and nothing else to it, sadly and tragically. I wish it were otherwise but it is not.

    If the cops ignored every speeder, drunk driver, reckless boy racer, there would be far more dead bikers than there is now. 90% of the rozzers out there are extremely safety conscious, do a great job, and have to put up with cocks like you abusing them for it.

    You have either got your instances confused, or your just a thick moronic dickhead who hates the cops with no good reason and cant apply logic to any given scenario you are faced with...please do not ever ride beside me or in any group I am part of, idiots like you ruin the ride for real motorcyclists.

    Pull ya head in

    Rant over...carry on
    Just ride.
