Thread: Check your speedos.

Well today I had Mr Plod do a U turn in front of me across 2 passing lanes and Double Yellows in the middle (on the Gentle Annie) to intercept a van coming the other way
I wonder who was more unsafe................bearing in mind the speed limit here used to be 100km until the week before Xmas when it dropped permently to 80

I know.
But ‘they’ tends to/can indicate several.

@Finnwolf If you follow the link and read, you will find the report for the period Jul 2007 to Dec 2010.



"It is the fifth incident since December 2007 in which a police car has collided with a motorist while attempting to turn and chase a speeding driver....."


Along with mention off other motorcyclists involved.Five to me, means more than several, but less than many

I was just being picky as the post that used ‘they’ seemed to me to be in reference to one incident.
Maybe it wasn’t - but it was MY interpretation.

I was just being picky as the post that used ‘they’ seemed to me to be in reference to one incident but implied many had caused it.

I quoted Mikee where he mentioned "the plod" so I thought useing "they" in response would have been quite clear.
