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.

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'
