Just how I got nicked recently while out in the car, dual carriageway with wide central reservation and the van on the opposite side. Didn't think they would be nicking vehicles on my side due to the difficulty in calculating errors with the angles involved but was proved wrong. Hope it didn't get you mate but don't rely on it.

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.
