She had to attend a speed awareness course.
Being elderly, she gets confused and the main area of confusion is this.
On a daily basis, high-performance cars tear down Sloane Street, Pont Street and Brompton Road at speeds in excess of 80 MPH; some boast of hitting 100 MPH!
Are the police ever there to enforce these blatant examples of dangerous driving?
Never!
Why not? Because most of these high-performance cars have indecipherable Arabic number plates....or maybe they don't want to upset the rich visitors.
One of the most useless of Borough Commanders was the late and unlamented Ellie O' Connor, now retired at 55 on a vast, publically funded, pension.
In her place is the exotically named Detective Superintendent Raffaele D'Orsi.
Now, the Dame recognises that D'Orsi was exceptionally courageous in tackling a criminal with dire physical consequences to himself.
However, he needs to get his officers to deal with the blatant dangerous driving that makes ordinary residents feel that there is one law for them and no law for rich Middle Easterners.

Can he please deploy his 'intellectual capability' to stop our roads being race tracks for rich supercar drivers and stop publishing 'newspeak' nonsense like the above.
Time senior police officers were forbidden to write this sort of crap
ReplyDeleteI could not agree more. It seems the wide roads in the Borough are given police protection so that the Middle Easterners can play at being Lewis Hamilton.
ReplyDeletePull your finger out, D'Orsi and sort this issue

This sounds like another "head in the clouds" public servant. A problem well known in Hornton Street where too many of Councillors think that they are "Prime Ministers" and "Home Secretarys".
ReplyDeleteCopper need to understand that residents want the most simple of things. No theft from houses and cars, no speeding on roads and riding bicycles on pavements, no knife crime. Our "unassuming Borough Commander needs to sharpen his pencil and come down to earth.
The Dame in an Armstrong Siddeley? A slight fib I think. The Dame drives a souped up Japanese speedster with TWO exhaust pipes. But we must sympathise with her having to attend a speed awareness course at a cost of £100 in order to save 3 points on her driving licence - which is already burdened with so many points that the old hag is threatened with having to walk.
ReplyDeleteAnd the horror of having to spend a whole day locked in a room with the absolutely ghastly type of people who turn up on speed awareness courses.
