So, if they carry their warrant card in their own private car and get nicked...  does that give them an excuse too!   Just a thought :-X

I dont think they were in imminent danger of killing anyone, more like 36 in a 30 zone. Every job has it's perks. :y

To be fair - use of CB radio was exempt from the mobile phone ban for ALL drivers, not just police, although it is true that the reason given was that it will impact on the emergency services. But they also said that due to the fact that CB radio was relatively uncommon this days the exemption would not substantially increase the risk to the public.

What I find interesting is this:

PC Plod is assigned to drive Tango Zulo 7 (or whatever the police car is called) on Monday between 09:00 and 12:00.

At 09:45 on said Monday Tango Zulo 7 is caught speeding on camera.

No one admits driving the car at that time.

Now does PC Plod get paid for these four hours where he supposedly did NOT drive the car that he was supposed to drive?  :o

:)Some of us wagon drivers use CB radio but usually only if 2 or 3 of us are running together. In 1981 Fm killed any long range copies but at least we don't interfere with emergency services. From what i've heard on the radio the "experts" (where would we be without them?) reckon a handsfree conversation is dangerous & these should be banned. I guess soon we'll no longer be allowed to use our cb's, car stereos will be banned, we won't be allowed to talk to/carry passengers & cabbies(i used to be one) won't be allowed to use 2 way radio or eventually even carry passengers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I'm not against road safety but this bureaucratic bull has to stop somewhere.
       At this rate we'll have to be supervised when we take a "sit down" Did you wipe according to regs.? :'(
