What is wrong with these people!

I regularly have a look on the County Traffic Police Twitter page.
Every day (honestly), there is a report about a driver being stopped for an unessential journey through the County or to the Lakes
Bad enough, but it is nearly always followed by they were also guilty of at least 2 of the following:
1. Uninsured
2. Disqualified
3. Speeding
4. Provisional license (in case of sole driver)
5. Under influence of drugs
6. Under influence of alcohol

Example from yesterday
Birmingham to Glasgow to pick up a Dior bag. Stopped at over 100mph, no insurance
The chances of being stopped must have increased 10 fold, are they thick? - no answer required :wink:

crims be crims. if they arent gonna let a little thing like insurance or disqualification stop them from driving, a countrywide ban on unneccessary travel is unlikely to deter them either.

though yeah, their chances of being stopped are a lot higher, tho crims arent known for their intelligence.

My immediate neighbours, in their early 60s, the husband is a taxi driver and since the "lockdown" has not been out in his taxi at all.
But every week, at least 4 times a week, they have their son and daughter visit and they sit in their back garden. The son brings his kids and they run about all throwing balls and stuff to each other. The kids also go and play with a couple of kids a few doors up while they tell them to remember the 2 metre rule. They have also shared BBQ stuff with the neighbour over the fence.

The guy across the road, an MOD cop, had a birthday on Saturday. Early in the evening there were about 6 or 7 cars turned up beeping the horns and shouting out the windows to him. They drove round the block and done it again then parked up and congregated on the pavement outside his house while he brought out drinks and stuff.

Its like they all think if you are outside or you know the person you will be ok.
