........that, despite all the warnings about the hard-shoulder of a motorway being an extremely dangerous place to stop, the police still insist on:-
a) Stopping motorists on the hard-shoulder to point-out the low quality of their driving instead of waiting until they can get them off at a junction.
b) Sit on the hard-shoulder acting as a spotter for a colleague further along the road to catch speeding drivers, tax evaders or uninsured drivers who could easily be taken-off at the next available junction.
c) Use unmarked, high-performance, cars to goad drivers into breaking the speed limit and then stopping them on the most dangerous part of the motorway, the hard-shoulder.
I cover a huge amount of miles around the UK, 700 yesterday alone, and see this police stupidity almost everyday.
