Cystitis could be the cause..... Or another UTI maybe? Let's find the poor bloke an excuse. Being an arse doesn't seem to work.

[QUOTE 3095741, member: 9609"]Just to be clear here, I was not in any shape or form defending the biker, I was suggesting some of the criticism being levelled at the young police officer was unfair.

We're all angry with the motorbiker mate. I am not having a pop at you. We are all on the same side.

It is very rare for Police Officers to actually witness incidents which they are called upon to deal with. That is why it is their job, to listen impartially to each side of the story, to note down witness statements where necessary, and actually investigate the matter. She didn't do that.
They are also duty bound to secure any other evidence which might support any accusations of law breaking, which in this case would be the video footage, as @User pointed out. She forgot to do that.
This was a reportable road accident from a Police perspective, as an injury occurred (the grazed knee which the cyclist told her about), despite what she said at the end. So she should have been noting all the necessary details for a report which insurance companies might want to see. She didn't do that either.
Then there was the banging on about the cyclist being on the phone, which is not against the law.
She was quite happy for the two involved to kiss and make up with that cringeworthy handshake.
Honestly, this was like going back 30 years for me, sitting watching training videos on "how not to do things". You know the ones, where everybody has a good laugh at the incompetence on show and are then invited to analyse the mistakes made. Only this was for real. Quite a shocking display actually, which would be of interest to her supervisors.

Cut out the sarky comments. Feel free to discuss but linking addresses and stuff isn't on. You geeks know how to get them, but it's not our place.
As for others having a pop at mods, we aren't full time to police it. We respond to reports. So long as there are no threats or addresses etc, then we will let you discuss. I am also allowed my personal opinion on it. The guy is an idiot and needs to be dealt with by the authorities.
