£100 Slush Puppie and three points

When a policeman noticed driver Sophie Vaughan sipping a Slush Puppie in a traffic jam, he could have let her off with a simple lecture on road safety.
But instead he handed her a £100 fine and three penalty points – after calling three  colleagues on his radio for back-up.


She took a sip of her raspberry Slush Puppie drink while she was waiting, and thought nothing of it.
But a policeman passing on a bike spotted her and called in three more officers – one on a bike and two in a van.
He then gave her a £100 fixed penalty fine for driving without due care and attention.

Are the police now on contracts like Traffic wardens........

Much easier than pulling over the chav with a pit-bull on the back seat in his drug dealers Range Rover or the family of 8 Asians crammed in to their small car, kids all sitting on the laps of the women in the back.

So very true.

Would love to know the statistics for bicycled police men giving out fines for driving without due care and attention....
