Drink drive sec 4 & 5 offences
Traffic Rat replied to Em88's topic in In The Eyes Of The Law (UK Excluding Scotland)
In very, very simple terms S4 Unfit through Drink/Drugs- Drunk as a lord so to speak, unable to hold conversation, unable to stand etc also covers affected through both prescription/non prescription drugs. S5 Driving over the prescribed limit. - Thinks they are safe to drive, you can hold a reasonable conversation with them but the smell of alcohol/intoxicants... able to blow into roadside screening device / refuse to blow S5A Drug Driving - Usually after a roadside drug wipe for Cocaine / Cannabis. (Only certain officers trained/authorised to conduct drug wipe due to cost, force dependant) Sent from my PLK-L01 using Tapatalk -
Laura, for just starting out a 10 min mile is not too bad. I am 49 with 28 years service, so when I joined the running test was 1 & half miles in 12 min = 8 min for 1 mile. Forward on 27 years I pass the force fitness bleep test with no running beforehand. The only fitness I do is walking my dogs twice a day. Sent from my PLK-L01 using Tapatalk

At a guess, the scale is in CMs, with 1/2 cm divisions. Making the knife approx 13cm (5 inches) from tip to hilt. Sent from my PLK-L01 using Tapatalk

Get used to chasing HR and MFSS, ive got 27 years in and they all sit in 1 open plan office, but they may as well be on the moon and Jupiter when asking them things Sent from my PLK-L01 using Tapatalk

Possibly that CNC is not recognised as a HO force as per the recent pension ruling that they are classed as civil servants. Its only a guess and happy to be corrected. Sent from my PLK-L01 using Tapatalk

Do I Have To Comply.

Tankie, Yes you have to stop, and commit a specific offence with regard to traffic census if you don't. No you don't have to answer the questions. Sent from my PLK-L01 using Tapatalk -
It depends, each force have different policies, some have a link on their website, some you need to contact them and they will give you an email address. You have to realise that if the matter goes to court in that county, it is you that has to attend to give the evidence. Sent from my PLK-L01 using Tapatalk

You know, I always thought a mule and an ass were the same thing. Just Googled it, everyday's a school day.Male Donkey - Jackass Female Donkey - Jennet Donkey - Domesticated version of a wild ass Mule - Offspring of a male donkey and a female horse. Hinny - Offspring of a male horse and a female donkey. Booth of which are usually born sterile due to a missing chromosome. Well, I never knew that. See - Who says Traffic is Boring ??

Procedure Question, Did Something Underhand Happen?
Traffic Rat replied to Answers's topic in In The Eyes Of The Law (UK Excluding Scotland)
If you have had an email from an official UK police account it will usually be in forename.surname@(force name).pnn.police.uk. Or collarnumber eg [email protected] If its not then I would be suspicious of it. Sent from my PLK-L01 using Tapatalk -
Dragonfly, well done for letting it stay. Roger, I wish you well in the future and all that holds. I hear more and more of these retirement messages, across a number of different sites, where officers put papers in to go (Retirement and Early) and the recurring message in most of them is basically "The job doesnt give one anymore. No Thanks, No Goodbye, just There's the door shut it on the way out" I believe part of this is the Butterfly, remote management culture we now have and not just at senior level. My Sgt for my annual appraisal this year is located 25 miles from where I work, and other than 3 emails about sorting my PDR I have never met or spoken to him since he was allocated to me in March this year.
