So...., a motorbiking nurse who rides at excessive speeds setting bad examples for other motorbike riding nurses expects... ummm.... what was it again? Just woke up again... "slow" day...Suppose you think then that you have been in a position to judge me then? What does that make you?
People complain all the time about cops and their driving...and rightly so.
Cops get tickets all the time for it... only difference is, life goes on and they get over it without moaning about it like a bitch....

speaking of moaning and bitching, hows things Patrick?
Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.

Yay, another idiot. Welcome to the pig pen.
Immature and proud of it.
A little story in the latest Listener told of the two guys who stopped to tow a Police car out of the ditch the copper had parked it in. He thanked them by breath testing both.
True?
Hard to tell really, but it is believable.

The experience I had here with the NSW cops is a lot different. My solid old cage got slammed into by a young girl who had indicated to turn left, and drove straight into me becasuse she was lost and arguing with her friends. I was stopped at a give Way sign, and started to slowly puill out to turn right when she straightened up. Even the witness behind her thought she was going to turn left.
Anyeay, had to wait for the cops. Couldn't move her little cage as the whole left front was destoyed and it sat in the midddle of an intersection. When the cops arrived I explaied what happeneed, and the officer was in agreement with me. He did his best not to give me a ticket, but as I was sitting at a Give Way sign, I got the ticket - $225 worth. He was never rude, completely understanding and very proferssional.
My cage? A 1977 XC Falcon Custom - damage - dent in left front fender. Girl's cage? A 2005 Mazda 626 - damage - destroyed front left,headlights, grille, CVs, gearbox mounts, hood. Totalled $7,000! I still can drive my XC, and the insurance took care of the girl's car.
Glad I wasn't on my bike. I take extra care at that interection now too. Like I said, the cops were really helpful, and said they'd do their best as they understood it was a genuine accident. (Of coursde, the Law says I was in the wrong being at a Give Way sign)

You completely missed my point... everyone is pleased to see a firey or an ambo when they've done wrong... with us, it is the complete opposite...
Well, if someone crashes the Police don't investigate the cause of the accident and use this to educate the driver about his or her mistake. Instead, they investigate the cause of the accident to accumulate evidence to prosecute the driver for anything they may of done wrong.
How can a disliking for the Police not be warranted?
Pitty the MoT can't take back the "traffic" responsibility so the Police can claw back some respect.

Who cares? Don't do stupid shit... simple really...

Ah sorry bout that must have been an Off day , I see what you Mean now.
By the way ...Most of the time a pissed ,crashed & trapped driver dont see us as Ambos or Firefighters, they see us as Authority and can still cause us Greif.....Mind you seat belts tied firmly to the steering wheel with hands firmly under seat belts works too!!!.
Fair comment.
Only intended to highlight why people dislike seeing the Police after they've been involved in an accident.
if you are happy to pay the fees that accompany the investigation like in aviation - huge compliance costs to CAA - for instance, before a type certificate will be issued to an aircraft type, there is about 2000 man hours put into the checking that the aircraft meets standards. would you be happy to contribute?
