The Traffic Police.

Alan Duff accused of manhandling policewoman ... now having observed from afar Mr Duff's demeanour, I would have tended to rework the headline to reflect his need for attention viz. 'Alan Duff accused of womanhandling policewoman.'
But having occasion to experience the north of Taupo 'speed control cowboys,' I can only sympathise with him ... they are 'beyond the pale' and I actually wrote some time ago to the Ministry of Transport to warn them of their arrogance, the intransigent nature of this and the absolute 'cowboy nature' with which they use their vehicles ... and that this behaviour would result in excess from their victims.
Now, in my case it was a ... well you could only describe him as, 'an arrogant red haired prick' who was 'showboating' in front of a female trainee ... and showboating he was indeed, doing, a 'u' turn in the face of following traffic, all but loss of control as he pulled on to the loose metal on the shoulder of the road .... this has been the only time in 45 years of driving that I have abused a traffic officer.
'Tis to be hoped that it was not this trainee that took a 'liking' to Mr Duff ... if it was, she deserves a jolly good flailing.
