Did you all spot the poor examples of driving technique.
Number one.
Driving with hands at twenty to six position. Ensures poor control of vehicle in case of tyre failure or motorist pulling out unexpectedly. NOT
Number two.. Driver removed seatbelt when still moving. That's an offence for which one traffic cop stopped a motorist later in the programme.
And his excuse would be, i was in a hurry to get out and stop to pedestrians on the motorway.
Still there was some good policing going on. Not pointless "you have been speeding sir".
The bloke on the A616 was right to stop the van driver for overtaking on solid white lines. Why didn't he prosecute him. I didn't agree that the accidents on the A616 were all due to poor overtaking and speed. All the ones I have seen are a result of people being on the wrong side of the road. Any speed would nornmally result in a fatality on that sort of speed. But still. We can breathe a sigh of relief because the cameras will stop people crossing the white line better than any central barrier. Sorry the sarcasm is getting too much to control.
