One of the first things that would be done in other countries is to identify the registered keeper of the vehicle. This information would be available in under one minute either over the radio or on the onboard computer. The police here don't seem to do that. I understand the registered keeper may not be the driver but it usually would be and if not, it provides a very useful line of enquiry.

Hopefully it's the 'couldn't give an eff' man on his travels !

We've had lots of new "central reservations" installed on visit road over the last couple of years, and I'm convinced that I hear less sirens nowadays.

 

however, obviously they can't cure all road ills, and this fellow appears to be on the way to "Do-wrong".....

Incorrect, that is the first thing police do.
