Damn it where's 7th gear when you need it?!
Only watched a bit of this through disgust! Saw the bit when the plod wearing the shades & a tash stopped a biker on a Honda Blackbird doing quote "95/96 mph" but let off with a warning because they hadnt had a chance to get a decent speed readin on him. Rubbish, they were following him for long enough to be on tape as he was speeding up as traffic moved out of his way on the M6, a busy M6 I might add!! The copper was a biker so probably was being lenient, which as a biker I can appreciate.
The bit that really got on my wick happened next when they stopped a mile later to retreive a ladder from the outside lane. A little further on they caught up with the van driver who'd lost the ladder. He'd pulled over straight away and reported the incident and was waiting for plod to turn up. He was chatting a lot and looked worried by what had happened so they decided to give him 3 points and £60 fine!! Not being funny but yes it was very dangerous, and yes he could of been talking a lot to try & get out of trouble but he had pulled straight over & called plod to report it, they turn up and give him points & a fine after just letting a biker doing over 90 mph off!!
Can anybody else say double standards??!!! Turned over after that in case I got a case of couch-based road rage!!
