Question:
I tried to keep up this morning with two police officers on motor bikes on the M25 they didn't have their blue lights or sirens on, but lets just say they were doing near enough 100mph.
Should old folks have their driver's license taken from them?
Anybody else seen the police needing policing in this respect?

Why are Texas drivers so bad at driving?
Constantly, and it really gets on my t*ts. I don't see that they should be able to get away with it. I can understand the neccessity of an ambulance or fire engine needing to speed to get to an emergency, but not the police. Surely not as often as they do. They are often putting others at risk.And as you witnessed, I'm sure they speed as a matter of course even when there is no emergency. They are not above the law themselves, surely?
I was in my local town recently, just about to cross the road with my young daughter. This is a tiny town in Wales, with only one small roundabout in the centre. There was very little traffic, and by the time we heard the siren, a speeding police car was almost on top of us. He must have been doing 50 through the town centre. Where is the need for that? I just don't believe it is ever neccessary.
I have a great respect for the police, but unfortunately they keep letting me down.
Always! they even put there blue light on to rush home for Tea!!
How safe are volks wagon beetles in car crashes?

Yesterday.Any Suggestions for Good All-Season Tires?
I was doing 30 in a built up area and keeping to the limit because a police car had turned out of a road in front of me,he was doing at least 40 as he pulled away from me and dissapeared,they didnt look like they were going to an emergency as they were chatting away and laughing.
What happens to people in a convertible when it rolls?
Yeah, I work as a driver around Heathrow and I see it all the time. Some of the cops are in plain cars with plain clothes and have no lights or anything. You can't tell they're cops and they switch on their sirens and drive in the wrong lane against the flow of traffic. I think if they're going to do that they should at least have lights to identify them or they could have an accident.You may not park your vehicle and leave it unattended within how many feet of a fire hydrant?
There are some cops who drive modified Subaru's (in Surrey especially) and those cars are capable of 200mph with no problems. That is just unnecessarily dangerous.
yeah last night when i was delivering pizza's i was coming up to a junction and a police 4x4 come speeding around the corner on my side of the road, they didn't have there blue lights on neither, if that was me they would of pulled me no-doupt
I have on many occasions , i drive for a living and do quite a bit of motorway driving and the speed the police bikes do is stupid if it was me or you we would be nicked for it .
My answer for reducing traffic. What do you think?
It happens pretty often. In general however, they respect the speed limits here in Las Vegas.Why aren't cars fitted with laminated glass to all windows? This would deter thieves?
Different rules apply to them I think. One cut me up on a roundabout the other day (I was on it 1st) just because he'd come down the slip road too fast! Missed me by inches and even had the audacity to give me a dirty look.I have a friend who's a policeman and he does stupid speeds when driving around normally, he recently got caught for doing 156mph on a motorway but didn't declare that he was a policeman so got away with a £130 fine and not allowed to drive for a month... it's ridiculous!
Should it be an industry standard to equip ALL cars with rear windshield wipers?
Hi, Yes i have; i have also seen an off duty policewoman on her mobile phone whilst driving her car.What type of moves does the CA DMV Motorcycle drive test consist of?
no but i saw 1using a mobile whilst drivingIs it me or it seems that no one follow the speed limit signs anymore?
Oh yea all the time, they are seriously the biggest most dangerous gang.Most the time I see them not using turn signals though. They are the law, what could you do to them. Nothing, its horrible!
Should I worry about DOT backround check for accident with no ticket?
Not in this respect, but I was with my dad once who pulled a police car over and told them that their tail lights weren't working. It was quite funny to see their reactions.Are you happy with the way UK Police drive?
In Canada any cop car heading to a Tim Horton Donut Shop could be guarranteed to be speeding. You'll never catch them at it. No cop is going to give another a ticket and your own vehicle has not had a spedometer check THAT morning. That gives them an explaination to the charge . Who knows? They may be undercover( remember, The King Who Had No Clothes.?)Problem with slowing them down with a home-made road studded belt....You the tax payer is going to foot the bill for new tires.
Are old ppl buying junk cars so they don’t have to be responsible for their boo-boo’s?
Lots of times.Most of them are a-- holes.Mostly city cops.They have that better than though attitude.Like to hammer it right off their faces.Can highways become more "stranger friendly"?
just because they have not got there blues and twos going dont mean there responding to a call. they sometimes leave both off as this can scare away the very people there trying to catch.but yes they like to hide behind the badge and break the laws them selfs. still as long as they catch the muppets using phones whilst driving as thats more dangerous then speeding.
ya they will need some petol
Can anyone teach me how to drive stick shift on their car?
all the time but what you going to do there police?How can i listen to emergency vehical raido scanners?
I see it in my neck of the woods all the time. I also see them roll through stop signs.Should onboard cameras and microphones record truckdriver behavior while driving the big rigs?
They're allowed, in fact required, to exceed posted speed limits in training.Interesting point one certain senior officer not to far from me has just been "done" by his own boys for speeding!
I see it almost on a daily basis. The P/D says they are on normal patrol and exempt from vehicle code laws when on duty. Hmmmmmm
Would be quicker to tell you of any we've seen NOT speeding!
