You are part of a 'dogs bodies' group in these situations.
In the situation above, the police were first on scene. Their bright idea was to drag a 34 week pregnant woman out through a passenger door from the driver's seat.
Your attempts to verbal what I have stated are clumsy, read it and then comment.
Funnily enough, I haven't advocated inappropriate speed in this thread. The quote you cite above as support for not speeding is purely a selfish motivator and does nothing to counter the arguments of those who see no problem with speeding.
The fundamental weakness that that position has is that assumes that the person who speeds cares about the feelings of the police. I would suggest that if they are deliberately flaunting the rules already that they have already demonstrated a disregard for the feelings of members of VicPol.
