    Mate at work told me how his biker mate got done for not wearing a crash helmet last week.

    His bike had broken down and he was pushing it with the helmet on the handle bars?

    Same copper also done him for a wrongly positioned Tax disc and an illegal number plate.

    Seemed a bit harsh to me. I will ask a few more detailed questions this week

    Yep, legal requirement to wear a helmet whilst in control of the bike. :-/

    Plod was a bit hard on the bloke for making him wear one in this heat??! Sure this wasnt our friend in Westbury??

    Apparently the helmet was hanging on his bars. I have to ask more questions.

    Was he sat astride the bike pushing it or beside?

    As far as I know a tax disc should be easily readable from the path.

    Copper must be a right twat for ticketing something like that.

    IIRC a tax disk must be located in front of the rider's seat on the nearside of the bike.

    I hope it is PC Williamson..........

    Cos if not then we have another as***le giving the Police a bad name.

    Probably not what the front line officers want.

    Look on the bright side, his colleagues probably hate him just as much as we do.

    Last Train!

    Me olde eyes are struggling here.
    Is that smiley sign reading "Yeah That" or "Yeah Twat"?
    Both entirely suitable of course.
