One failed even a basic eye test. So has had licence revoked.

One felt as she had not hit the officer she'd done nothing wrong. So she's bypassed warning and issued ticket. The total utter plank

Im afraid I got as far as "Working with our partners to create interventions..." whereupon my large intestine leaped up my windpipe and throttled my brain in order to prevent me reading any more ridiculous left wing goody gumdrops cuddly crochet'd kaftan social worker pseudo business speak.

The work they're doing is valuable and worthy. Shame it has to get tangled up with a load of politically correct NPCC cliches.

We could do with some of that down this way.

Remember, when they piloted Operation Close Pass in Norfolk, one of the first four drivers to be stopped and accept the education session turned out to have no licence, insurance or MoT and was driving drugged! Car seized, driver arrested.

I was pleasantly surprised yesterday to be called by the Police for a witness statement to a close pass I saw 5 months ago which the cyclist (not me) caught on camera. I chased down the cyclist and swapped email addresses - it seems the driver refused a driver awareness course.

Well now they can do a 12 month bus aware course...

They ran one here in Poshamptonshire earlier in the year - I actually know the bobby that ran the project. The downside was that as well as the close pass element they felt it necessary to issue a load of patronising and I some cases misguided advice to cyclists, which morally at least undermined some of the food work done.

Bet they didn't expect that when they jumped into their car thinking 'Ahh, I'll be okay'. Result - !

That’s how hants road policing do it. A day of telling cyclists how to get motorists to see them, followed by a day of dealing with the menaces on the road.

I think you may find being an agony aunt is now his full time position, he charged me a fiver for some advice. Then the thing came in last.
