Well I'm sure that I'm jinxed, after the hammer incident the other week, last night I was pursuing another bloody Vectra (what is it with criminals & Vectras??? :D ;D :D ) doing about 80mph down the expressway. All of a sudden the heavens opened and it persisted it down and I mean absolutely bouncing. Ok I thought clicked on the windscreen wipers ...........and....................... NOTHING!!!! :o :o :o :o None of the settings would work other than the rear wiper. Running out of clean underwear now! ;D

Handbrake turn,throw it into reverse,look over your shoulder out of the rear window,carry on regardless. Seemples. :y ;D ;D
-
So who didn't do the daily checks before driving the car :-X
-
Erm.....Daily checks WERE completed! Along with tyres, oil, lights etc. etc. As I always do, not worth my job & more importantly my life not to :y
Fact is I used them prior to that incident and they were fine as it had been on & off wi rain through the night. Fuses checked back at the nick all ok & relay swapped still no worky >:( Left it for an hour, went back to it and 'hey presto' working again...............then they stopped again ::) ::) ::)
-
What were you in?

Wiper stalk faulty

I was in a '60 plate BMW 530D on its 3rd clutch & 2nd DMF! >:( >:( >:(

I nearly had a go a police car driver the other week.....but decided to bite my tongue as i didnt fancy getting pulled every time he saw me in the future....rear brake light bulbs both blown.....only the centre in the rear screen working....i was behind him then was next to him at a roundabout.
So much for his daily checks......one bulb...ok .....but both of them...i think not!
-
Sound daft but we have to call duty garage when a bulb blows ::) call out charge + actually doin the job = not a bad £££ even more at night. Talk about wasting money!

rear brake light bulbs both blown That's now a £50 non-endorsable ticket!

This may sound daft too but it hapened to a m8 of mine (another cab driver)
Basically radio conversation from cab driver to base operator (it was dark at the time)
Cab driver to Base..."I carnt do the job as ive just been pulled for having rear light out and told to go home or get it fixed"
Base "you got a spare bulb"
Driver "yes but i carnt see to change it"
Base "well get the copper to shine his torch so you can see"
PC heard this conversation and did actually help the driver change the bulb after intervention from the base lol ;D

If only they were to have authorized the use of the holden with the 3.8 v6 in,you wouldn't be driving a bmv.
