Also... at the traffic lights why was the copper not keeping left, or if turning right indicating - guilty either way?
Its hard to respect those that don't even demonstrate reasonable or even law abiding standards, whould said officer have passed his driving test if driving like that?
Looks to me like the esteemed officer was going a bit quick too (assuming the camera was travelling at at least 30 mph). Wet, busy built up area, no blues and twos. That alone should be enough for his superior to, at least, have a quiet word in his ear if nothing more. Disgraceful.
It's covered under Section 3 of the Road Traffic act 1988, under "careless, or inconsiderate, driving"
To wit:
3 Careless, and inconsiderate, driving.
If a person drives a mechanically propelled vehicle on a road or other public place without due care and attention, or without reasonable consideration for other persons using the road or place, he is guilty of an offence.
3ZA: Meaning of careless, or inconsiderate, driving
(1)This section has effect for the purposes of sections 2B and 3 above and section 3A below.
(2)A person is to be regarded as driving without due care and attention if (and only if) the way he drives falls below what would be expected of a competent and careful driver.
(3)In determining for the purposes of subsection (2) above what would be expected of a careful and competent driver in a particular case, regard shall be had not only to the circumstances of which he could be expected to be aware but also to any circumstances shown to have been within the knowledge of the accused.
(4)A person is to be regarded as driving without reasonable consideration for other persons only if those persons are inconvenienced by his driving.
Spraying pedestrians with water from a puddle would be deemed as being "inconvenienced by his driving"
Undecided on this. In a lot of cases if a driver wants to soak a pedestrian they tend to veer towards them; in this instance the car's path is fairly straight.
Yeovil . 3.40 pm Tuesday 7th July 2026. Racing a BMW in the carpark to get to the exit first. 10mph car park. Was your house on fire ? Or got a 3 inch grip on an 8 inch turd.
This idiot in High Wycombe has been driving around recklessly on West Wycombe Road. I was pulling out of my drive 2 days ago and as I was about to pull out, this guy is overtaking going about 50mph. I nearly crashed into him, because I wasn't expecting him to be there. I wanted to pull onto where he was and obviously I wouldn't have thought he was there. Thank god he drove past before I crashed into him
Idk wtf he’s doing but he’s all over the road veering over into the path of an oncoming car, fluctuating in speed for no reason. Like wtf? Didn’t manage to capture the momentary swerves on cam but be he’s on his phone like everyone else
Silly woman getting involved saying she has dash cam. Well that dashcam would of showed the whole thing wouldn’t it, keep your big nose out of it silly old fart
Absolutely atrocious driving in all aspects. Pointless and dangerous overtake. Speeding over the limit. 1/3 brake lights working. Cutting too close Infront of vehicle nearly causing a collision. Terrible lane discipline stopping in the middle of the incoming lane while queuing at traffic lights. Using mobile phone while driving. Get this woman off the roads asap.
