Mr Bill is learning all about traffic offences this week. It has made him look more closely at drivers he sees on his way to and from work. He has been tempted to stop a couple of people on his way home; one for driving while using a mobile phone and another for driving without due care and attention. But he didn't (I don't think he is allowed to yet). He merely allowed them to notice his half blues; white policeman shirt and black trousers (but no epaulettes) and enjoyed the look of shock horror on their faces as they realised what they had been spotted doing and by whom!
He has been issuing HORT1s to just about everyone in the family (although the cat might have got away so far). These are the notices that are given to drivers who have to then produce their documents at a police station or prove that they have had a defect repaired on their vehicle.
After finishing these sessions in the classroom the recruits are going to be out and about with the Traffic division. So beware any drivers who have bald tyres, cracked mirrors, or drive too fast or whilst drunk: in a couple of weeks the roads of Llanffuglen are going to be at the mercy of Mr Bill in a traffic car who will be trying to use all the skills he has learned.

Dear Mrs Bill,
Reading your blog from far-off Australia. Fascinating stuff! I am writing a novel and would love to refer to Mr Bill when it comes to proper procedure in police work.
All the best and look forward to further riveting articles.

Mr Bill was delighted at the thought of being converted to print!
