Gio nicked

Definitive answer -

An advanced police driver can drive the vehicle. A standard response driver can only reposition.

Most will leave it at the side of the road though.

:clap:

But why would this not be reported in the press? Can anyone who watches Road Wars answer that?

So you never made it to advanced then. Don't worry Reg.

Never wanted to. Cops with brains wear suits.

[Shanks]

So, it's Jim's fault then?

I got done for drink driving once and they just left the car on the side of the road. It ended up getting towed.

I got off the charge though and they had to refund me for the tow away.

Yea, I was in the car once in Nottingham when my friend was arrested for drunk driving and not only did they leave it on the side of the road they refused to shut the window or give me the keys so that I could shut the window (engine needed to be turned on to do so)

It has not been reported to the press because it probably never happened.

 

[archiewasking]

Crockett and Tubbs style?

If true then I am well disapointed. I was one of the few that was in his corner on this forum. Cannot condone his action if true.

Saying that, as a foreigner, I wonder if he will be treated the same way as Bentley, or is it one rule for some and another for others? Lets wait and see.

I love Road Wars, my favourite was Sir Killallot, he was brill.

Or may-be they are saving it until one of our other players hits the headlines, then hitting us with the old one-two.

OK. It never happened.

I'm just saying, the poster who supplied this info is a fairly notorious WUM.

Over the past few years he has illustrated serveral times that he enjoys making things up to cause reactions on this message board.

Which is up to him, he enjoys doing it but like the little boy who cried wolf I would be incline to believe most statements he makes of insider knowledge are liable to be false designed to cause a reaction for his own enjoyment.

Now while previous examples of WUM behaviour do not mean everything he ever posts is instantly to be declared false, when he posts a story that you would assume would usually create headlines in the national press and they have not so much as made the rounds as a rumour to date I would suggest in all likelyhood the story is made up for his own amusement once more.

I was waiting for Keano to claim that his nan was the arresting officer.

You beat me to it, but yeah that's it.

A few things to add though to address other people's posts:

1. There's a difference between "can do" and "usually do". The fact the police can do X but don't, doesn't mean it didn't happen. Which leads me on to...

2. People think of the police as a single entity but it isn't. There are 50-odd different forces each with their own little rules and nuances. So what someone does in the Middlesborough would be different from the Met (or even the City Of London Police, as that's even different from the Met).

For one reason there's not a massive car park to store seized vehicles at every nick. At a good majority of them there isn't even room for the marked police cars.

Also I think one other difference that comes to mind about standard response cars (i.e. Panda cars) and advanced drivers is that standard response drivers can't drive public vehicles (i.e. buses) whereas Advanced ones can.

I'm sure that Keano is posting in good faith but, in the past, not all his posts have proven to be true.

Having some knowledge of the criminal justice system, I am amazed that Gio's arrest hasn't featured in the press. Even in the unlikely event that they failed to pick up the offence at the time (either from the magistrates court or from a police source), journalists are known to visit the fans' forums and they are only too keen to publish negative stories. If the story was true, don't you think that we would have read about it in the press by now?

Give it a vest mate

I don't even mean to offend you, if your posting in good faith sorry to doubt you (if for some reason you actually care that people doubt you)

All I am saying is I remember the days of the match chat threads where you used to like to scream 'goal' for no other reason that to be a WUM, so it stands to reason that since you have shown your self a poster who enjoys making things up to fool other posters the likelyhood of you doing so again is pretty high.

Sorry if you take offence, I just personally think most likely you are on a wind up again.
