> [@MPD47](#): > > I miss the Canadian Autobahn ☹ +3. That used to be one of the best parts of driving over there. I topped my old Honda out at about 100 and was left in the dust of the dozen or so people I was following. 20+ over was the usual. She was only going about 100mph- I’m surprised they didn’t let her go since she was a cop. ---

I like the comment that if every OPP officer was held to civilian driving standards they would all be on bicycles. Same goes for cops around here in the WNY area…worst drivers on the road ---

i love sitting at 5 corners in west seneca/OP and watching the OP cops come up to the red light, flip on their gum balls and then flick them off as the enter the tim hortons drive thru line for coffee. I have see the same thing at least a half dozen times. As far as I know cops are suppose to obey all the traffic laws that we do, UNLESS they have their lights on and are on a call So why do they get to speed, change lanes w/o blinks, turn corners w/o blinkers, roll stop signs, tail gate, talk on cell phones, use their computers (i find this very scary when i see a cop typing on a laptop and driving next to me) w/o any reprocutions? I don’t get it. ---

It not that hard to understand they have this thing called a badge!! They do not have to be on a call to break traffic laws, if they are in their car they are working, so that red light they go through, maybe they r following up on someone or something that might not be there if they wait. O and the laptop and phone, im sure they are not on facebook. most likely they are running your plates. ---

O and the laptop and phone, im sure they are not on facebook. most likely they are running your plates. actually when i got a ride back to the station by the evans police last summer he was on AIM the whole way back to the station making dinner plans with the guy back at the desk at the station…hardly police related i _fully_ understand they can break all laws when on a call, but when they are not, they SHOULD be the best drivers on the road, examples to others i’ll call it since they are the police. if they need to break traffic laws to follow someone they should have their lights on. They should not get to drive with no reguard to traffic laws when their lights are not on, it a danger to other ppl on the road as much as anyone else breaking a traffic law.
