Police are not showing much of a good example for driving at the moment, only a few months ago a marked police car shunted me up the back as they weren't paying attention

Lol - police driving skills are good but regular beat officers don't get same level of driving as the traffic cops, but regardless of level of driving - a lot are still showing they not driving with due care. Like for instance the police car that went off the road near me and through a living room of a house, it was not even on a call - and it was late at night, no other person involved. Some years ago now.
