Police Officer?
Hate “doing Traffic”?
Think it’s “not real policing”?
Make it really easy for yourself with my handy guide.
Before you realise, you’ll be booking up yer granny like a proper black rat!

“I absolutely love the tyre diagrams.”
“Not only is it great for us to use, I like to explain things to people so it’s a great little visual...”
“I promise to spread it far and wide in my quest to convert everyone to Roads Policing Officers.”

Burpham.
Not one. Not two. Not three, but four supercars, all stopped in convoy, since they had driven through some type of gravity well on the A3 and their front number plates had “just dropped off”. 🙄
Tickets issued for all four vehicles.

Vehicle on non-UK plates but been activating speed cameras.
Driver produces his EU licence but we're not new to this game and find his UK record.
Forgot to mention that he was disqualified from driving and had no insurance.

@seanboyboy@MerPolTraffic If that officer used https://t.co/GE2mjls5eY then they’d be better informed of the offences and disposal outcomes available to them.
Saab fitted two-point seat belts as an option as early as 1957 on the Saab 93.
From 1958, they were fitted as standard on the GT750.
Three-point harnesses, developed by Volvo, provided even greater safety.
Swedes have been innovative on automotive safety over many years.
The very first 3 point seatbelt was sold in a Volvo PV544 on August 13th 1959.
Given attitudes at the time drivers and passengers were sceptical of the benefits and slow to start using them.

@obbsie@TerraRasa Chris, I offered some tips that I’d personally found useful. Other colleagues may have other advice.
My comment was never intended as a criticism of my MetPol colleagues who, I’m sure, are conscientious, professional and diligent.
@ShaunfromDurham @MPGTBL I had the XC40 as a courtesy car yesterday and today. Bloody awful thing. Horrible.
Used to own the S90 T8 with Polestar upgrade. Fast car with all the toys but soggy suspension.
Now have the S60 T8 Polestar Engineered with all the toys. Rapid and much better handling.
@grahamwettone@obbsie I won’t comment on a live investigation but I can point you towards the College of Policing definition of a pursuit, which might be a little different to how most might understand it.
