Is this some sick twisted attempt at humour?

Ok, every morning there is a traffic jam on this road

Normally not severe, but for these few miles 20mph really is the max speed. If you're lucky. You will NEVER go faster than 30mph.

Let me repeat that NEVER faster than 30mph. It is like this for 2 hours.

The speed limit is 40mph.


SOOOOOO nice little policeman with his speed camera - what are you DOING?

Is this some kind of sick joke? Do you come here to taunt us with the promise of speed even though we all KNOW it is impossible?

Do you relish in our mounting frustration just coming to a head at the sight of that camera?

Are you righteously perpared to catch the motorist with the world's first flying car?

Has some mad bureaucrat who is flown everywhere in his private jet and never seen a traffic jam force this upon you? And if so, why have you not killed him?

Is there some other reason you are UTTERLY wasting your time on this?

Or do you need some quality haddock time?

He probably fracked up big time with something someone considered important and this is his punishment. Busywork with no hope of getting anything actually accomplished plus the public humiliation factor and that his peers know about his assignment. Like that guy pushing the boulder up the hill throughout eternity.

heheh sounds like Slacking to me. He tells his superiors he's taking his job seriously as a traffic cop then comes out to the only place no one is speeding and sits around eating doughnuts... or scones... or whatever it is that cops eat on thier breaks over there across the pond. ^_^

Sounds like trainee duty to me. "Here, go do this stupid duty to learn how to use a radar gun. Once we're sure you can find the on button, maybe we'll take you somewhere that you might actually encounter someone speeding."

There is one stretch of road near my house (I can usually avoid it easily) that is nearly always congested.

There are signs there indicating a "minimum safe speed" and "no stopping or standing".

Are they trying to start road rage?

the traffic was terrible today, and it'll only get worse now that Christmas is approaching (decorations everywhere and it's frigging NOVEMBER!)

He's hungover. He can't take the risk of actually catching someone, because he'd puke on the paperwork. He's having a nice quiet doze watching the cars crawl by, until his head stops spinning. :)

wow. Thats ubersuck.
I think its suppose to be funny, like you know, "haha! a speed camera during a traffic jam! oh thats funny!"
But it backfired, and your police force hasn't got that memo yet.

You need a microwave pulse generator to give him a thrill. Crawl by at 300 miles per hour. :)

It's also useful for making the radar read 40 constantly, no matter what, even when pointed at a tree. :)
