  1. At present groups of neighbouring constabularies often share a Roads Policing Unit with various #ANPR capabilities - the local #Councils also have #ANPR schemes used for parking / bus lane enforcement, but these don't always share data and monitoring posts on car forums I've seen from serving #Police Officers they claim there's a lot of "red tape" to go through to get ANPR data, even within the RPU.

    Most of the time its just used to catch those without vehicle #insurance, the leadfooted and those who are suspected of #DUI (especially #drugs use and/or using their vehicle for #transport as part of a drugs dealing network)

  2. #ThamesValleyPolice and #Hampshire #Constabulary in Southern #England test a new #breathalyser (developed following research in the #Netherlands ) which checks #drivers for use of #nitrousoxide (laughing #gas) - a form of #DUI that has led to serious #collisions across #Europe

    (it almost seems like drivers are taking this stuff out of spite, as use of other substances is now tested for and detectable so folk have stopped doing them as much when regularly driving)

    This is apparently the first device of this kind in the World!

  8. An #arrest for attempt #murder rather than simply causing #injury by dangerous #driving is relatively unusual - and in line with #Norfolk and Suffolk Constabulary's own policies suggests this #collision in #Norwich between a car and cyclist was *deliberate* (at very least there appears to also be #DUI and both #alcohol and #drugs playing a factor)

  13. A genuinely sad case - #driver clearly wasnt a "good lad", involved with #drugs and under influence when #driving - but I don't think he set out to #crash and kill the lass and badly injure his friend

    A wider issue is social circle for young people outside big cities is affected by #CarDependency and #ToxicMasculinity (I suspect his friend and girlfriend admired him for owning the #BMW )

    If he'd stopped he'd likely have walked free from Court and got only 3 years ban as no one would have got hurt, but as fun as #partydrugs can be, they can lead to irrational and impulsive behaviour (he's also likely to be on the comedown and sleep deprived which wouldn't have helped matters)
