Ah, yes, 19 pages of it, including part G: "Please draw a sketch of the collision, showing positions of vehicles 1 and 2, direction of travel, street names, road signs, crossings, bollards, etc. It would be helpful if you could indicate north.<br /><br />Seems a lot of effort for something that's going to get filed away as nothing more than a statistic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651597981151570147.post-36190073724545005942010-10-09T23:04:02.450+01:002010-10-09T23:04:02.450+01:00Sussex Police's Operation Crackdown website is...Sussex Police's Operation Crackdown website is pretty good, and works well. I've used it several times for cases of dangerous driving, and for some the police have informed me that they have written to the vehicle owner. I understand that they've managed to take serious action against several repeat offenders, and often regular bad driving (of the sort that people report on the web site) is linked to other illegal activity.<br /><br />It's good news that Surrey are considering doing the same thing, and that the police are taking bad driving as seriously as they should (given that it kills around nine people every day in the UK).Fonanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02138087859465124942noreply@blogger.com
