"JAWS" :lol: :lol: :lol:

Kate :D

ps Steve using a mobile phone whilst driving is now £100 and 3 points FPN (e). And its all in the word "USING" as this also covers interacting with the device, so checking e-mails or texting.
All the fines have gone up. Even a "no seatbelt" is a £100 FPN(n).

Good!

I still see lots of people of all ages and sexes who are texting, phoning and playing with their devices whilst at the wheel. It's just plainly wrong to do this. Maybe one day, it'll become as ill regarded as drink driving has become.

Go and nab some more bar stewards, Kate.

Some fantastic photos there, Kate! Amazing to see so many iconic cars on the move like that, but sad to see them vacating the traditional police garage. I've read about the armoured P6 in various places over the years, and it's an amazing car. The 827 is lovely too.

Fast back did make a good looking Police car, and I approve of its nice low stance :roll:
