That's what a lot of Officers have done and you're right it is a good insight and at least you know what to expect, a lot of probationers haven't got a clue about the real world. Out of interest what force?

I am shocked to hear about the pay :eek: . If I was an Officer I would not have been happy that the PCSO's were picking up £200 more a month!

I work for West Mids Police btw.

Yeah so was I, I'm not saying PCSO's don't deserve that pay but I think PC's should def be on a lot more.

Getting back to the whole S59 issue I think its safe to say if you don't !!!!!! about then there would be no need to worry LOL

I'm all for limiting new drivers to engine size etc for the first year as well.
Maybe it'd be an idea also to stick the McD's well out the way Then we wouldn't be subjected to the boy racers as much.

New drivers are limited by engine size - have you seen insurance premiums for young lads on anything bigger than about a 1.4?

What would you suggest 1300cc?

:rotfl: I thought that might get brought into the engine size debate somehow!

Well that doesn't count that's a road legal go kart. Westfield?

I'd heard that there were to be reforms to the driving test, with new passers being limited to a 1.4 litre engine or less, and to be only allowed 1 non related passenger for the first year, amongst other things.

I heard similar. Nothing will ever get done though tbh, they've been talking about raising the age to 18 and stuff for years and never actually done so.
