It's only traffic enforcement we have a problem with :D lols

Off the topic sorry but:
Rubbish...lol

the police are ACE and they do a CORKER JOB....especially the traffic police...

IMO: this unfortunate stereotype comes from a combination of a proportion of idiodts that burn up speed restictions (mainly 30 Zones) showing off on testoterone overdoses etc and are miffed cos they get shafted and small minority of officers who are snotty/arragant/impolite/power-trip when they do a stop (and thats a human/personnallity thing...not a police thing. In my experience MOST officers are ROLE MODDELS

Im a student bum (not really a living).

there's no such thing as a 'student bum' unless it all goes to waste

dig in and you be glad of it in the end :)

Road Safety Engineer....... saving lives on a daily basis (or that's what we tell ourselves!)
