I'm surprised the #officer actually got sent to #prison for this #RTC - but in *all* training for blue light response #drivers ( #Police , #Fire and #Ambulance ) there is a *big* warning not to let "red mist" take over (its mentioned a lot in my copy of Roadcraft, which although intended for blue light drivers is also available to civilians)

I've seen a couple of incidents recently here in Suffolk where RPU officers have made sketchy manoeuvres which could *easily* have gone bad for themselves and others (particularly one where they appeared to be trying to stop a vehicle, luckily the driver was compliant) - seems to be caused by lack of resources and them being sent out single crewed and spread too thinly,..

Dunston crash police officer jailed for woman's death

Mark Roberts was responding to reports of a choking baby when he hit a motorbike, a court hears.

BBC News

175 arrested for driving while intoxicated and 4,000 caught speeding over Easter weekend
More than 290 drivers were caught using mobile phones while driving, and more than 95 were found to not be wearing a seatbelt

As reported by Independent.ie

Is any of this a surprise? Not a bit. We can all see this stuff everyday. And once the GardaΓ­ get off their arses and take a look, they see it too.

They are back on their arses as normal today

There's some ex-Garda on the national radio airwaves making every excuse, and entirely new ones, for dangerous driver behaviour, all completely unchallenged. Every road traffic collision caused by a driver is just "human error," apparently.

The item is about road safety around schools.

Fucking hell.

An unfortunate incident - #Coroner does not clarify if deceased was using #cannabis as a treatment for is #epilepsy and whether or not this was legal ( it can be prescribed for this purpose, and indeed is one of the few times when #NHS will prescribe #MedicalCannabis ) - but 90mph (145 km/h) is way too fast for an unlit rural road anyway, whether stoned or sober.

Coroner does have a point that such conditions /should/ be notified to #DVLA - but in a car-dependent region there's a lot of incentive to the driver not to do this (also if he's getting legal #cannabis and its recorded somewhere it will makes him a target for DUI checks which is another disincentive for self-reporting)
