Lets start with the key points: Where the interpretation comes in is if your attention is taken away …

Mobile Phone Tickets *DOUBLE*

Drivers being convicted for mobile phone “offences” almost doubled between 2021 – 2022.

“Police” Pulling Over Cyclists!

“Police” in Devon took a break from harassing Motorists earlier this month to have a crack at bullying some cyclists… As you may know, there is no speed limit in the UK for bicycles. Despite this fact, the Police took it upon themselves to chase after a group of cyclists and pull them over “to advise them …
