    "Traffic Cops" on BBC 1

    Traffic cops on bbc1 last night, well up here it was anyway!

    Guy on an Africa twin crashed into a horse and rider!

    Horse was ok, only a few scrapes, horse rider was ok,

    AT rider had a broken ankle!

    but they didnt tell us if the bike was ok!! Typical biased reporting from the beeb! lol.

    cops had to pick up the twin, 2 of them, one cop said it was a big brute and that it must have weighed about 600kg!

    watch it on bbc iplayer. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode...ng_Their_Luck/

    And what was amusing is the guy caught doing 109mph on his Honda SP1 was fined £750 and 6 points on his license, but the young kid driving the little VW lopo caught doing 124mph was fined £150 and a 42 day ban, how does that work

    I'd guess that the young lad hadn't long passed his test and the punishments are harsher if you are a new driver

    The new law states that if you have held your licence for less than two years and get 6 points on it, you lose it and have to re sit your test.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE
