PCSO on a scooter....

[R1ckster]

Hey chaps.. Anyone know definitively if a PCSO on a scooter can stop you and give you a speeding ticket if they wanted to?

Gave me the right hump this morning.. Appreciate I was doing around 45 to 50 in a 30..but dual carriage way both sides and totally empty of pedestrians at stupid o'clock this morning..

I followed him doing 40 and then had the cheek to tell me off at next set of lights saying what for etc..

I just agreed and said sorry.. But what's the official score with these lads?

Not knocking them just curious

No, they can't issue you with a ticket, they don't have the powers to.

“Although PCSOs do not have the powers to issue endorsable fixed penalty notices, they can issue fixed penalty notices for cycling on a footpath, littering and offences under dog control orders. However, their evidence can also be used to prosecute motorists who break the law"

Cheers mate.. Understood

If it happens again I'd still be as polite but not crap myself over it

Kick the scooter over and laugh before doing a doughnut and flying off.

Or change your appearance so people refuse to hassle you.

This could be a good look for you

Hey! That's Uncle Bob!!

The Mongrel Mob had a very big presence in the town I grew up in. The local pub got closed down 3 times in the 5 yrs I lived there due to stabbings. You basically didn't go into the public bar unless you had a patch.

Haha would love to see that PCSO try to keep up to pull you over fella! I think though that's a bit crafty if he was speeding too but still tells you off! Cheeky sod
