FTOF Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 And our streets safer to drive on. Good on them. By charging people for carrying a couple of fish suppers in their car? Aye very good. Maybe they could sit on Brediland Road and catch a few of the arseholes who shoot down there at 50/60 mph. Might be too much like hard work though.

Are you happy for people to drive without insurance? You do realise if a delivery driver crashed into you withiut business insurance they wouldn't be covered. No doubt you would be greetin like the proverbial wean when the police arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCCABE Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Their latest scam I heard from a taxi driver pal is to wait near Indian or Chinese takeaways and then pull the delivery driver. They check the drivers' insurance to make sure it's covered for business use or they do them for driving without insurance. In what way is it scam? Driving without insurance is an offence.

I'd rather idiots driving at 50/60 mph in a 30 mph area were targeted than an easy charge by sitting outside a chip shop. The insurance matter is more of a dig at insurance rules. What difference does it make if someone crashes into you who is delivering a box of fish suppers as opposed to someone who has been driving like a wanker with no fish suppers? Wrong targets IMO. Which do you think merits more focus? P.S. I actually believe that Police Scotland do a very difficult job pretty well overall. I'm all for stop and search.

Which do you think merits more focus? The whole point is they are not insured. In most cases insurance companies add it for free if you ask. I got it free on mine as I require if I have to drive to another station during work. Both are equally "targeted" by traffic as they are both offences.

Maybe it's more of an oversight rather than deliberate avoidance then, if it's usually free. Shouldn't a warning suffice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh when I joined the job 14 years ago the "attitude test" was used a lot more and I still use it to a large extent. A warning could suffice but can you imagine the blamefest if that driver killed somebody 5 minutes later. It would be another stick with which to beat the police.

Fair point, scam is the wrong word and I accept that, but it's hardly an adequate use of resources is it. Soft targets, easy shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree with the current witch hunt against the police. Believe me I know all about uninformed criticism in relation to a person's chosen profession. However, I don't give a f**k as I'm on holiday next week, although November's a bastard, as there's no holidays that month.

Anyway he said to me that he was one of the few who german JENS PAESLACK bumped stuff from including money and other items from players. He also said that he didnt get on with very well with Tom Hendrie as because he was a schoolteacher he came in and treated the players like children !!! However, to be fair to Hendrie this might just be sour grapes from the big man as Hendrie did drop him and bring in one of St Mirren's best ever keeper Ludo Roy.
