Reckon the best one I have ever seen on there was the gentleman of asian or pakistani sort of origin with.......yes,...........NINE children under 13 in a volvo estate!!

It was like a constant stream of people getting out of the car, and his excuse was.......wait for it.............he couldn't afford a minibus!!!

(didn't think he could afford a telly, either judging by the amount of kids)

And he only got a warning, the kids and his wife walked away!!

Priceless.

I thought it was interesting that the chap who was towing with a Landy (as it transpired; on a provisional license) revealed the need for 'commercial' journeys with vehicles over 3 Tonnes (combined car/trailer weight) are now required to have and use a tachograph. :-?

What I found interesting about that one is that the guy originally gave his name as Kevin Taverner. The PC then radio'd through with the name Kevin Turner and there was no trace. Eventually he got done for obstructing police but he had originally given his correct name!!! He was given several chances to correct the PC though!! ::)

Handcuff the kid to one of his parents for a fortnight. That would soon cure him. ;D ;D

I love those "Cops on camera" style shows, we can all enjoy a laugh, but seriously i worry in case of one of those no-licence no-insurance dopes crashes into me out there one day... :-?

That used to be the preffered treatment 25 odd years ago, all it achieved was to see various cities ripped to shreds and the taxpayer paying through the nose for the resultant damage.

I can introduce you to 9 year olds that would make you look like Mo from driving school.
I'm not saying it's ok for 14 year olds to nick motors and then drive like a pratt, but you shouldn't judge anybodies skills on their age alone.

I suspect the obvious lack of insurance and driving license will have come into his (rather harsh) appraisal. ;D
