I have a driving licence, two and four wheels; I've probably held it longer than most serving traffic policemen. I also have off-tarmac and on-tarmac competition experience. I have driven on motorways for many years.
I could argue that I should therefore be allowed to drive a big white traffic car with blues and twos on a pursuit, just like a traffic policeman. Without even showing them my driving licence.
The average reaction to that would be "Rubbish, what are you thinking?" I would agree, but it would actually be legal, unlike the unqualified muppet in question flying a police helicopter on a Public Transport flight.
