Why men know better than to ask for directions. OR wow, people can be shits at times.
"Motorists are encouraged to ensure they make good preparation before journeys, ensuring sufficient provision for emergencies and being aware of their route."

Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

No, really. Can you imagine a police spokesperson saying this in the U.S.? Not only would about half the vocabulary involved be regarded as forty-dollar words here, but the idea that driving involves any responsibility or the vaguest awareness of what you're doing is considered a communist affront.

I agree with the fine. She shouldn't be pulling up on the hard shoulder of the motorway to ask for directions. Plus, she was only fined 30 squid. I really don't know why people are making a fuss about this.

Mind, I'm suprised nobody has asked why the Police were parked up on the hard shoulder. Because if it wasn't an emergency for them either, then maybe someone else needs fining.

if it was the US, i'd completely say it was "that time of the month," as in quota time depending on how much the area makes off tickets.

She was apparently fined for not being hot enough. I mean, if she were hot, she would have just gotten the slap on the wrist, no?
