Are Police Drivers Really This Stupid?
According to The Times today, policemen and I suspect policewomen as well are very adept at misfuelling their cars, as this extract shows.
Police forces have spent more than £300,000 in the past two years repairing diesel cars and vans damaged by officers who filled them with petrol.
Almost one in six diesel vehicles owned by the Metropolitan Police — the worst offender — was filled incorrectly, costing more than £170,000. Many forces have had to fit preventive caps and warning stickers because of the number of incidents.
How many plods have done it more than once. Surely, you get fired on the second time!
I’ve never done it and won’t now, as I don’t drive!
I do remember though a lady in serious distress once at Sainsburys in Haverhill. She’d taken her husband’s car to supposedly stay at her sister’s on Saturday night at somewhere that wasn’t Haverhill. But she’d gone to have a tryst with a man there. So being the good girl, she had left early on Sunday morning and then she’d gratefully replaced the fuel she had used. Except that she had put petrol in her husband’s diesel car. I’ve never seen a woman in so much tears, except where a death was involved.
