This is a true event that took place between my best friend and a Police Inspector about two years ago. Seeing a policeman in a stationery police car in a line of traffic outside his house while washing the car, drinking from a bottle, it was coke, he asked him if he knew it was an offence to do so. No it is not, was the reply. WELL I AM GOING TO REPORT YOU FOR NOT HAVING FULL CONTROL OF YOUR VEHICLE. Remember those words. He did report the policeman, and a lady inspector came to see him. I will not go into all the detail, but he was told that it was not an offence to have a drink from a bottle when stationery in a line of traffic. (Bullshine) When shown a report in a local paper where a person had been "done" for the same act, he was told that "there must have been other circumstances taken into account for that to happen. Yes. Right. What a load of rubbish. No wonder people do what they like.
