I'd believe the story if not for the fact that the Police always run a plates check before stopping a vehicle

They do things differently here in Wales.

Given my own experiences with Gwent Police being lazy, useless and incompetent I find the story quite believable.

No I didn't.

TBH I do the same when it's other drivers, I just don't like being the one at the head of the queue. Weird, maybe, but that's me I am not exactly one of those drivers that goes in the third lane of the motorway who flash people to get out of the way so they can continue going 120mph.

I'm not surprised, your cars 5h1t and the police told you that.

How do you know that?

It's not a criminal offence to drive a crap car, so long as it's roadworthy and the officer's comments could be seen as discriminatory towards those on low incomes.

You've been stopped a lot then?

Not according to an earlier post ;), was that #57 and #70?

You sound like a fun loving girl, eg motorbikes, skiing etc. If I were you, I wouldn't bother getting the rear wiper repaired, just break it off and spend your money on living life. Advice that perhaps others need to pay heed to!

PS - you don't need that wiper, just wipe it clean on occasions!

Never a truer word :T Don't you just love condemnation? That was sarcasm, unfortunately to some it's an understatement:(

I had a healthy respect for Police

Why, I wish I could say I did but they are too busy running around chasing people for Minor crimes that are easy to prosecute. Give them anything hard and they don't bother anymore. If you get burgled and you ring them don't expect them to turn up unless you have caught the burgular yourself given him a good thumping for being in you property and detained him with you dog biting his arm.

In which case they will turn up and arrest you, have your dog destroyed and probably send the low life burglar home with a slap on the wrist.
