They turned on their sirens near shopping centre, so I moved and as I got to the shopping centre I saw the officers going in to a greggs!!! Was their pasty getting cold or something they shouldn't be driving a car, they should be riding bikes to patrol a park!!!
Crime of the century this, I hope the officer involved is sentenced to a 1000 years in prison for such a horrendous crime. Soaking a man that was already wet??? :O Such crimes on humanity need severely punishing.
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.
This idiot of a mother took ten minutes to park in a car park and managed to place her car so crooked and so close to one car, she asked her daughter to get out SO THAT SHE COULD CLIMB OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE! She could have re-parked but no. She decided to be an idiot.
