No ofence to those that have kids, but in my experience of friends that carry young children in the car this is the biggest distraction factor there is and is often the case that you will see a mother weaving on the road trying to turn and pay attention to the child.

What I am trying to say is that in reply to comments about those who have kids in the back it's a real problem. A few years ago I realised that it had been a good while since I had driven a car in a calm and undistracted manner. I knew I was more conscious of what was happening in the back than on the road. So I attended a police driving course in Milton Keynes. It was excellent and certainly woke me up. Driving is something we all do very frequently and unlike the bike you are cocooned inside a car and it's easy to forget the possible dangers.
Doing anything, talking to a passenger, changing the radio etc can be a hazard. We all need to be more aware.

The thing is, it's all well and good saying that the copper should have just given her a warning/caution, but what good is that if she was denying that she was doing anything wrong and was getting lippy..I'm sure that if the lady had taken a bollicking and had seemed/acted contrite then she wouldn't have even got a fixed penalty.

Well, yes, but reading the comments on this thread, just how contrite would any of us have been in that situation?

Seem the original 'Apple' woman has dropped the charges against the police after she was told it would cost the public ANOTHER £10K+ to fight the case - at least she has some common sense!

I believe she is a nursery school teacher so, its hard to imagine her ranting at a copper in the first place.

But - as we have seen, anything is possible.

ps - Can we have Lynn's piccy on a calendar please.

Wow - yes - Ducati 'Calendar Girls'
