I get increasingly pi**ed off with this total preoccupation with speed enforcement. Pity there wasn't a copper about yesterday as I was driving to Northampton on the busy A43 dual carriageway. Overtook a woman in a big estate car and wondered what she was playing about at, turned out she was totally engrossed in texting and didn't even look up when I drove along right by the side of her car in my 4x4 with the horn blaring for at least 100 yards. Now her driving was dangerous without any doubt but the likelihood of getting caught is minimal as there are so few police cars out there. Watched the antics of one police car (Volvo estate) in Towcester last evening as the driver tried to park up to get into the chip shop, what a laugh, all over the footpath then up the town to turn round and back to try and park on the opposite side of the road. Ended up going to the other chip shop and making another right horlicks of trying to park.

Yep you see this every day on the way to work no traffic cops in sight. Cameras are just an easy way out. Speeding is probably about the only law breaking thing I will do in my life.

I hope as there was traffic they didn'y try me but then again they prob heard me coming and focused on me

Oh well only 13 days to go
