Vol 71. Bad and Poor UK Driving & Riding, Learner Driver Disrespect

[@Holycurative9610]

I keep saying this but I wish we could go back to policing from when I was a kid. In the 80s I'd see a copper somewhere at least a couple of times a week and we always saw one at Chichester cattle market where us yoofs used to meet up in our beat up Cortinas and Capris. The police would give us advice and sometimes a warning if we were doing something daft but this was proper community policing. I remember making a front spoiler out of galvanised sheet metal and it was more of a snow plough type thing with sharp pointy bits everywhere but I didn't get a ticket from the coppers I got a laugh and a friendly warning to get home and remove it. I'm lucky if I see one copper a year nowadays and that's normally when they're setting up speed traps. They don't even turn up for theft/break ins now, you report it, get a crime number, and never see the police. Shameful really!

@@Holycurative9610 I agree, active policing has significantly dropped hence more crime. I remember when I was a kid I got thrown in a cell at 13 yrs for playing on a rogue shopping trolley under a roundabout. Was a wake up call. Compared today policing is woefully poor and inadequate.

When the Toymotor Prius pulled in behind you, before the Rosehill Roundabout clip where you mentioned Tony of the London Dash Cam, I immediately thought of Sadiq Khans Assassins and heard the 007 theme in my head

The same for me!

Yes and the jaguar earlier must have bought some of Tony's self entitlement wax😂

Kudos to the learner for not letting the Jag push in, though realistically he/she would be safer with the NUMPTY in front

@@robinwbarrett mostly cats always assume that a tuition vehicle will let you in, and generally this is true, it’s situational and I always try to inform my pupils to be safe and sometimes that is being pro active and keep going.
