http://news.met.police.uk/news/statement-regarding-footage-on-social-media-186389The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) is aware of footage circulating on social media of an incident involving two uniformed officers in Camden.
The incident took place at Weedington Road, NW5, at around 17:00hrs on Friday, 16 September.
The footage will now be subject to an investigation by officers from the Directorate of Professional Standards (DPS).
As soon as the MPS was made aware of the footage, the DPS was contacted immediately.
The individual who uploaded the footage has been contacted by DPS officers.
As this matter is in its early stages, the officers have not been suspended or placed on restricted duties.
No one was arrested during the incident.
Yeah well, language issues might have played a role, I give you that. And traffic rules are not universal but sometimes differ a lot. After all, the classic excuse of about every foreign traveller in the USA is the innocent face with "Sorry, officer, I didn't know about the speed limit, I'm from Europe"
I was in traffic court trying to get a ticket reduced once and a guy in there tried to claim that the reason he was speeding was because he had a European delivery BMW and it read km/h instead of MPH. Needless to say, the judge wasn't impressed and he still got the full ticket (or whatever the plea bargain was).

A guy I know had a similar problem, just the right way around, when moving to Ireland. After crossing the south of England and Wales with his van, he didn't realize that in Ireland, speed limits are posted in kph. So he ended up wondering why all the locals were driving so slowly... until he realized. No ticket involved there, though.

Right up until you get to some of those very small, narrow, hedge and wall lined, twisty, uneven country roads....you know, the kind of roads we designate 'field use only', then the 100kph becomes a challenge

This comes not 2 days after I saw a lady pouring 93 into her first gen Hyundai Santa-Fe.

91 is considered "Premium" in America?!?
91 is the lowest octane petrol sold at stations in Australia.
You apparently need an orange 205 with a blowing exhaust to go down country road fast.
