This nimrod chap appears repentant and is unfortunate to get not just a ban but his name splashed across the news for 109mph...
Yet last night, I saw that bbc documentary about traffic cops, and there was an ape-like motorbike rider, 130mph with a pillion passenger who gets a small fine and 6 points
Difference is, grotty biker ape isn't seen as a representavtive of the Crown.
Like it or not, and whether Nimord jockey was on duty or not, "we" are all viewed differently to grotty bikers (thank god) by Joe Civvy do-gooders who will roll out the usual "I pay your wages" argument and expect us all to be squeaky clean. It comes with wearing a uniform, any uniform, even those with golden arches on the baseball cap.
Remember The Scum publishing a centre spread about how squaddies had the audacity to actually enjoy themselves and make life bearable during a tour at MPA by acting like the average readership of said rag?
