my brother was a trainee in sussex police in the early 80's and told me this story in those days the A23 north OF BRIGHTON was mostly single carriageway with no flyovers just crossroads one evening a traffic cop was headed north toward gatwick when a message comes over the radio of an incident at hickstead, a notoriously dangerous stretch of the roadThis driver fancies himself as the best driver on the force, so puts his foot down to answer the call coming to a crossroad he sees 2 cars turning right, one in front of the other with a gap between them He puts his foot down to get between the cars only to run into the towrope between them totalling both cars and the police car He then charges both drivers with dangerous towing
