Another policeman avoiding a ban..

"That's the limit! "

A senior police officer caught by a speed camera as he hurried to have
a bath after handling a dead body has escaped a driving ban.

Excuses to bear in mind for the future..

Gareth Moore, defending, said: "He felt an urgency to clean himself
from the scene and the stench of death. He had handled the decomposing
corpse and, although he was wearing gloves, felt rather grubby.

His concentration was low, he was in a hurry to get back to the police
station and clean himself up."

 

bath after handling a dead body has escaped a driving ban.

Don't be so harsh!

 

Think of the cyclists!

 

I can think of several smellies who could usefully employ such a
defence.

What a load of old bollocks. He deserves to be killed for speeding in
his police car. Anything less is just not sufficient punishment.

I already have it written down in me little book of excuses.

 

I think Auvache does it as more of a hobby. Mind you he has to handle
his own, so I'd guess daily.

It is more likely to happen as a social thing but you never know.

Thrice.

At least.

 

Gary Howarth says...

Yes.

For fun as well as for work.

"His concentration was low"

Is our law really: "Speeding rules do not apply to those who aren't concentrating."

 

I'll pass that onto a mate who's a funeral director.

Should mean he can speed home every day.

 

The story's now moved to here:

And in case anyone's wondering, although he has the same first name
and surname as me, no, it's not me.

Obviously.

I mean, he was doing 37mph, FFS...

 

Seems reasonable enough to me. I'd find it traumatic if I had to handle
a corpse.

 

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember saying
something like:

I'd a burd like that, once. More life on a butcher's slab.
