A recent question just makes me ask about the worst incident of Police driving that you have seen....
I saw a woman PC texting while driving...
was nearly hit once by a police car that had no lights on at night...
I read 2 weeks ago that some copper killed someone's fiance at a crossroads, as the copper drove thro a red light at 60... in the paper, it said that the copper was acquitted.
seems like one rule for them and one for us !!!

I would if I could, but there are so few coppers around here you hardly ever see them. I travel about 20 miles a day to and from work on a busy trunk road and honest to god I'd be lucky to see a patrol car once a month.
However, take a peek at this, this is unbelievable and makes my bloody blood boil, bloody hell.!!! This is just taking the ultimate p**s. Just click on the link.

I got pulled over for speeding in fog and the police car that pulled me had a headlamp out. He let me go with a warning (it was 4am I was on my way to work as a milkman). Ive also seen a copper swigging from a can of coke on the A15, a red route. And yes one rule for them and one rule for us.

I'll agree with that... I get the bus to work in the mornings opposite a police station and often see them on their mobiles as they go home after their shift. Also the amount of them that don't signal is terrible. Fair enough the roads aren't all that busy at that time but would we get away with that??

Its a double standard. I saw a cop car half way through a business front by my place this year. We think it was the jaywalking cop from up the street that does nothing else. They don't corner the market on good driving anyway.

I've seen a police car rear end the car in front going so fast that it pushed the car in front of it into the car in front of that one too!
(Florida)
I have also seen a cop trying to catch speeders sit in a turn only lane at night with its lights complely off... I wanted to turn around and hit it just so he was at fault (Virginia)

Every body calls the police, until they call them to help. Who is the first person when your in trouble you call certainly not your milkman in the fog. When you want the police you want them like 10 minutes before the incident happened.

well get used to that because yes coppers protect their own and if one gets in trouble they are all there to defend him or her no matter what . Then they want to be outraged that you are suing them for someones death . It amazes me that they think because they are officers of the law they can get away with killing someone in a high speed pursuit . good luck .

A recent study revealed 90,000 speeding offences were let off because it was coppers.

Yes mate
and if ever you wake up in the middle of the night to find a couple of real big lads doing your gaff over, you might be glad that the rozzers break a few traffic laws to get to you real quick

They break the rules all the time. Have you not noticed? They are the ones who are suppose to be showing us a good example. I guess it is one rule for them and another one for us.
