Title: Oblivious Policemen...
Post by Johno-G on Jan 9th, 2003, 3:55am
Two policemen are driving the correct way down a one-way street when they notice a driver passing them, going the other way. They do not stop the driver. Why?

The driver was walking at the time?

The driver was driving an ambulance/fire engine/other emergency vehicle?

The driver was sitting in a parked car, and in fact this "passing" was just relative motion?

He was passing them on different street, where the direction is right for him?
They were corrupt police people, and he’s a mafia boss?

The driver is a mobster and shoots them dead before they can stop him.  :o

The government of the country the policemen work in ciculated a memo in the ministry of justice not to bother anymore with such unimportant unlawfull behaviour, which consequently leaked to the press and the whole country is bitching about it..
None the less the policemen still don't do anything about it (or about stolen bicycles, burglaries and anything else they can't find and fine someone for).

(based on a true story)

A [hide]center divider (concrete wall or a flowerbed with plants and/or bushes of some sort) [/hide] may help explain this one since [hide]technically the officers are on a one way street and the other driver (going the opposite direction on the otherside of the center divider) would be on the "same" street.[/hide]

::[hide]reversing down a one-way street is legal for a short distance in UK[/hide]::

They're Schumacher fans?
