    Hello, I am an 18 year old Scottish student, currently at University. On my very last day of school in June, a group of us thought it would be funny to drive up and down our local high street a couple of times tooting our horns. There were about 8 of us all in our own cars, and we thought of it as our little goodbye to the community we had gone to school in. Members of the public were seemingly amused by this, with the majority of people cheering us and waving to us and smiling, and it was all very light hearted and jokey, with no malicious element whatsoever (I should mention it's a nice area with no real problems and all young people generally get on well with the polic…

    If you were off duty and sitting in town texting on your phone and 2 young kids (about 13/14) approach you and ask you to buy them alcohol/cigarettes and they'll let you "keep the change". What would you do?

    So... Lets say.... For example.... Youre driving down the M25, just herping and a derping along in Lane 3... Suddenly in your rear view, you see flashing headlights and blues in the grill of what must be an Ambulance, or Meatwagon... You pull over into lane 2, and it drives past... and you then establish it to be a 2003 plate old, busted, beaten up rusty Mercedes Sprinter, with no livery, a dodgey sounding siren, and no rear lights. What would you do at this point? - Follow it? - Ignore it? - Ram it? - Climb out of sun roof and jump onto it? - Herp so much that you Derp - Other Lets Discuss...

    On a strobe lightbar which has blue 360's as well as the red rears, it has a white lamp on the front. If the white lamps were activated only, would that give the same rights as blue lights, or would motorists simply ignore them? As they would be higher up than flashing headlamps.

    I have recently been asked to attend a local street with a school on it ( I bet you can see where this is going..), that is rather narrow and has 4 bus stops along it. Some of the older residents are having problems getting on/off busses between the hours of 08:30 - 09:30 and 14:30 - 15:30 due to people parking right in front of and next to the bus stops, as well as parking on the 2 bends in the road, both sides of the road, in peoples driveways, on the pavment..... it has become a complete traffic nightmare durring the "school runs". Now while the stops themselves are clearly visable, there are no road markings along the road except for a passing point near the second…

    Lets use the example of a multi storey car park. You come across a group using rock climbing kit to abseil off of a multi-storey car park. They're using the tow bar fitted the back of the car as an anchor point. They're not causing any damage to the property and they seem reasonably competent to you. They've also gained access to the top legally simply by getting a ticket at the barrier and driving in? What, if any laws are the breaking and what action would you take? For the record no I've not come across this, and no I'm not thinking of trying it either. Cheers
