Police advice to motorists blocked by tree

During the recent storms in Britain, the BBC posted the following image on their website:



Now, there's a blinking great tree across the road and their advice is merely to slow down! Stopping would be a better idea.

With all the Police cost cutbacks I expect they couldn't afford the right sign!

"Police slow"

Yeah, aren't they just

[Harrison]

Except where catching motorist speeding is concerned. They are not too slow at catching them as it gets them a quick profit!

[AlexJ]

Well they don't actually have to any work for speeding - the council and police put up a camera and take the money. The govt. then take a share of the profits.

[Harrison]

Unless you take the motorway police into account of course, lurking around in their unmarked cars!

I recently saw this, which shows what the police do when those Slow Down signs in front of fallen trees don't work.

Well it was a parking attendent who are worse than the police. What the hell did they suggest she do? Carry on driving with a smashed in windscreen and no mirrors in a car which was structurally wrecked and like to come off worse in a collision with a Sinclair C5?

In the UK, copying a CD you own to your MP3 player is illegal without the record companies permission. However, the police use common sense and don't prosecute people. Breaking the speed limit, at night with nobody around, on a clear straight section of motorway, common sense should be used.
