Old roaming Tom Cat (zwerfkater) but still young at heart. Toots EN, (NL,FR,DE). #DevOpa - interested more in retro tech / culture / aesthetics than new stuff. Also transport and public infrastructure in general (with a UK/European focus)

@frankPodmore this is due to many constabularies downsizing Roads Policing Unit and combining it with Firearms Unit - they lose a portion of expensively trained officers each year who quit the job as its "too woke" (i.e. not enough action and held more accountable these days) - the remaining cops are tied up dealing with OCGs (organised crime groups) whilst the scally who has 5 pints and a couple of cheeky lines before driving home often gets away with it, until one day he ends up in a crash..
