Busybody cops?

[Slorider]

Im not at all against them but holly molly-one pulled into the servo for gas today and decided to conduct legality checks on the forecourt,hardly a place to be nosey surely?.........lady in question didn't appear 'scum' although her reg was expired,whats yr opinion? personally I thought he was acting desperate considering we have an obvious element of losers around here who deserve and req their attention

I personally think cops should sit at the end of drive thu's and see what the end up with. Would be a good laugh.

I would be curious to know the statistics of crashed vehicles with no wof/reg vs having both.
I suspect having a wof means jack shit in terms of crashing and a rego means less. But wouldn't mind being proved wrong.

So yes, lady in a parked car. If I were her I would claim that I had the car towed, call a mate to have it towed home.

If cops wanna play traffic cop - they should keep it on the roads.

stats were brought out during the WOF debate and most people chose to ignore that they showed your suspicions are correct. The cop on the forecourt would have been better to do random safety checks and point out all the vehicles with up to date but invalid WOFs, failed lights would be a big one.

Here is the same cop dealing with a drunk:

Interestingly enough, many of the un-regoed, un-wofed vehicles I stop go hand in hand with shit driving habits and attitudes (not all, just many)
What I tend to find is people who don't give a rats about their vehicles also tend not to care how they drive. Just my observations of the past few years

Dude, it's the wrong colour and font.

Have you learnt nothing?

Unfortunately that is my total knowledge of Facebook.

That's not at all unfortunate, more a state of grace. What with Facebook plundering your page for info to sell to advertisers, and the NSA, ASD, GCSB and God knows who all else having access for whatever. All of which may appear paranoid, but on the Internet "they" are out there and they are out to get you. Paranoia rules.

I was filling up the car recently when my Dentist pulled up to the adjacent pump and , while his Range Rover was being replenished( glug glug ) saw me, said hi and asked me to open my mouth so he could check the recent work he'd done replacing some broken teeth. In the middle of the forecourt of the Mobil station.

I reckon that's pretty special and it probably saved me a few bucks as well for not having to book in for a post-op check up . True story

Ps my teeth are fine and, apologies for being slightly off-topic.

There's no way gas money can be recuperated for a Range Rover. One time I filled it up the attendant asked me to move to another pump as it had drained the first.
