"If we're driving at 80 mph we have to drive as safe as a person who is driving at 30 mph" - Police Constable Gerry Waterton who, with PC Graham Rushforth, made up the crew of patrol car Whiskey Echo 8, covering the A1, the A1(M) and the area around Pontefract last Whitsun.
Their work included racing to a multiple crash on the A1(M) - "You haven't time for how you feel personally, you've got to protect life"; escorting a rare-group blood donor; and sorting out the tangle of Whitsun traffic jams - "They're all bloody stupid, aren't they?"
