How does that work? I have seen such things near Thirsk where there is a training school for Police drivers, but then every now and then you hear of Police Officers being done for speeding, even in marked cars..... :-? :-? :-?
I worked for a while in Bishop Auckland, Co Durham, and the Police trained drivers in a white escort with a mag mount blue light, were always passing the office...either you can speed or you can't....if we take away genuine emergency work.... :-? :-?
As said, it was in the very early 1990's. What was deemed the norm then may or may not be the same now.
It certainly used to be the case that the cars used by the Scottish Polce College had their VRM's entered on PNC as blocked, thus causing the force concerned with a speeding issue to enquire further and reveal the true parentage.
If a Bona Fide training course, within the 8 Scottish forces, then no prosecution ensued.
If spotted at excess speed across the border, in similar circumstances, a nicking was in the offing.
As said, was previous to Elf and Softy and the overwhelming, overpowering, ethos that speed on its own, kills, without reference to specific circumstances.
Said enough on the matter, now regretting opening the can of worms.
Schtuum....
