I find some posts on here staggering to say the least. Not that I would contact the police about the video in the op, but I do find people that deliberately distract themselves whilst driving particularly abhorrent.
Foe example, on one trip on the southbound carriageway of the A1 I saw a woman doing her make up at 70mph, some bloke writing an email on a LAPTOP at 70mph, and someone reversing down a hard shoulder. People scare me.
It's all talk, mate. Most of them would sh
it a brick and be dialing 999 before the young
thugs had finished saying 'trick or treat?'.

Would you have grassed this guy up? or is he not a "proper" criminal...eg nonce, rapist etc
Are burglars and drug dealers also non grassable? I think we need some proper guidelines about who we can and who we cant grass up as I am finding it all very confusing.
I wouldnt want to to grass a murderer up and then find I had gone and grassed up the wrong class of criminal.
Burglars are always ok to grass up. Drug dealers are almost never ok to grass up.

Good point. A drug dealer who was also a nonce is definitely ok to grass up. And if a burglar who has been caught & is about to be grassed up then turns around and grasses up a nonce, it's ok to let the burglar walk away as a thank you (the rarely used 'Nonce Get-Out Clause').

I've wondered what I'd do with a burglar. I'm not gonna detain some sorry-looking, addiction-addled chappie for 45 minutes I'm too soft and would only end up releasing him - on the understanding that it would be better if I didn't see him at my, or anyone else's house again.

Quite so, and is often not used enough. I have done some serious research on this and I can draw a graph which shows a direct correlation in the rise in anti social behaviour to the decline of the mustache.
I now am getting a handle on all of this. It would appear we have levels forms of criminal and delinquent into which we can begin to formulate code of conduct. We would have in short two types of recalcitrant. The Grassee and Non Grassee, with a range of punishments ranging from mild admonishment, to a good thrashing to a spell in chokey or dare I say it a combination of all three.

I may get all this stuff tattooed somewhere, so I have it to hand at all times.

I heard a bunch of Daily Mail readers went round Robert Snodgrass' house and filled him in.
