Because you want to test the strength of your face vs steering wheel!!?!

But airbag cuddles are nice and warm.

It's because my seat is broke and it's stuck in the furthest position away from everything it can be, so when I have my belt I feel abit restricted :/

Yeah I heard it was coming for seat belts.
As for tailgating and inconsiderate driving they'll need to create some new offences before they start giving people fines and points for it lol.

My defence to the wasting of the bomb squads time was that if they properly trained, IE with common sense, they would know what liquids are and look like. Dumbasses. If it smells like veg oil, looks like veg oil, has the viscosity of veg oil, has a lable saying veg oil....then its probably veg oil. They did highlight I hadnt broken any laws mind...so

Lesson 1 in dealing with suspicious liquids - don't f*cking sniff or inhale the damn stuff.

Lesson 2 in dealing with suspicious liquids - don't believe the label.

Also they were never going to find it looked/smelled/tasted/behaved like veg oil till they had broken the window

Easy, take a sample and analyse it. There are analysers that identify stuff in minutes


Considering that a 1 litre bottle of a certain liquid could flatten 1/4 square mile.
Yes but the likely hood of that sort of stuff being procured or made by terrorists is lower than something easy to get hold of that wont arouse suspicion (anarchists cook book, home made napalm)


So should we not leave ANY liquids in sight now if we park in london.
Potentially no, especially not near locations of significance, also don't leave large quantities of nails, screws, ball bearings, gas canisters etc on your back seat either.


Boot and one rear door wasnt even locked......major fail on my part there....C/L gone dicky and not fixed it!
To the suspicious mind a trap to get stupid police officers to open the door and trip the device


And why the sodding drivers window...not the rear quarter window or rear passenger?? If they honestly thought it was a bomb, they would have blown it to bits under a controlled explosion. So it clearly wasnt that serious...common sense would have gone a LONG way!!!!
Drivers door window would be my choice as its the least likely to of been booby trapped by the person who left what your assuming to be a car bomb there as they'd normally leave the car by that door.


Including them finding a loyalty card, and trying to contact me via that (which was my home number!!!??? - because I would park in London and still be at home in the Cotswolds - which they knew is where it was registered to), rather than maybe ringing my mobile which was on about 100 business cards in the doorcards/center console/glovebox with my name on!? Or ring insurance database, find insurer, get number, ring me.
a)someone else may be at home, they might not know where the area code was from, you may have your home phone diverting to your mobile?
b) the business cards could be a deliberate trap, mobile phones are very very easy to wire into detonators.
c) would be a FIOA request to get your phone number from the insurance companies and that takes time and needs a fax machine if the insurance company is even open at the time.

I'm not delcaring all innocence...but an ounce of common sense would have saved SO much trouble.
I did apologise and still feel bad for wasting police time, it does annoy me that I did that.
The thing is if your the officers there and you genuinely believe it to be a bomb then after clearing people away from it your first worry is how and when is this thing detonated and what you can do to make sure it doesn't go off with you standing anywhere near it especially when you bear in mind that many terrorist groups consider the military, and emergency services to be more legitimate targets than "innocent" members of the public.





aaaaanyway...back on topic.

What was their explanation though? If the corsa was doing 40 in a 60 your fine to overtake as long as nothing is coming the other way?
