OK OK the guy deserves little sympathy for the way the articles are slanted. BUT to redress the balance somewhat, I was at a 'Better Drving' course last night run by the Hampshire Traffic Police in Basingstoke -m where this guy operates.
There was firstly a talk by Hampshires Accident Investigation officer. He repeatedly said that it was NOT speeding per se that killed - but INAPPROPRIATE use of speed. All the traffic police I've heard have reapeated this line.
Just to balance the thread a little....

Think you'll find it's his father that's doubtful!
Dave, do you really think this tw@t actually cares whether it's "inappropriate" speed he's knicking you for?
The word "Jobsworth" springs to mind...

His quotes might have been taken out of context, but he's caught 21 people a day for speeding, and that's if he worked every day last year! I don't think there is much doubt about his intentions.

Two years ago I owned a GTI, it was vandalised 6 times in as many motnhs.
The Police weren't interested in taking statements. The problem is that the driving public are all too easy to make a few quid off.
What was it £350,000.00 this to55er raised.
Catch real crims I say.

Your reply, laugh I nearly bought a round of drinks.

He is indeed a fat *******.
What kind of **** books his fellow work colleagues? The guy obviously has no morals. Supergrass he should be called. No, I like fat ******* better.

"in 1998 600 people were killed or seriously injured"......another example of crap journalism and headline grabbing statements
If there were more than 5% of these cases that ended in a death of a motorist then the "news" would be world-wide - most dangerous road, bypass, motorway in world etc
The guy strikes me as a complete t**t who obviously sticks to traffic duty as he cannot manage other police work. As an interesting point; I wonder how many of his victims were speeding near a school where we all agree that limits should be strictly enforced, and how many were fractionally over the limit on a clear road.
Yex - rant now over having spent last 3 hours in pub!!!! Just can't get a meeting room in my building

Look out boys, I belive he's heading Donnington way at about 4pm.
He's heard that some 'easy pickings' are to be had on the roads away from the circuit.

Steady on guys, give us fat bastds a break. We do not deserve to be tarred with the same brush as this excuse for a human being.
I prefer to question his sexuality, he could probably stand in for George Michaels favourite copper.
Talking of which, what have a pair of wellington boots and George Micheal have in common?
They both get sucked off in bogs.
Allegedly!!

I'll see you in court Straker!
He was probably just a young gun, havin' some fun.
After all he was only guilty of a careless whisper to the press last Christmas.
Anyway, I think he's quite tasty.
