Noticed that piece, but decided to leave it as given.

Well this sentence explains what is wrong with the justice system:

The lawyer said that during his work as a lorry driver, his client drove “millions upon millions of miles” and had an unblemished driving record other than receiving points on his licence for not wearing a seat belt and using a mobile phone.

Unblemished,

Had the two cyclist been 'ordinary' members of the public and not been police, nothing would have happened.
"pushing his arm away"?
There's been videos of drivers clobbering cyclists and as far as I can see, most of them get away with it.

Somehow I think tht chap is going to be the subject of "random stops" from now on

My criminal record is also unblemished.

There's the four murders, setting fire to an orphanage and throwing gravy at George Osborne, that's it. Unblemished.

One of the comments from original article ,

'Yep I have a clean driving license. Except for the points for not wearing a seatbelt.'
Ok, so other than the points for not wearing a seat belt, it's an unblemished driving record.
'Well that, and that time I got points for using my mobile when driving.'
Ok, so other than the mobile phone usage and the not wearing a seatbelt incident, it's a clean record right?
'Well, I also drove my car in to a group of cyclists whilst beeping my horn at them to endanger and intimidate them.'
No worries, so other than the seat belt thing, the using a phone at the wheel and the driving your car at a group of cyclists everything is groovy right?
'Yeah, almost. There was also the time when I got out of my car and assaulted a police officer.'
So, as you can see, other than not wearing a seat belt, the using a phone while driving, the driving in to a group of cyclists and the assault of a police officer he's actually got a really good track record for driving.
