Much missed I am afraid. The police don't appear to have interest or resources to deal with speeding motorists. The A55 is supposed to be an accident hot spot, but little is done to stop people driving at 90 mph. Similarly, many of the minor roads are 'race tracks' for motorcycles, putting cyclists & others at risk. Brunstro was pilloried for highlighting the problem.
The ins and outs of speeding aside. I remember that he tested the security of the (his own) headquarters by successfully breaking in using scaffolding erected by builders. Unconventional!
He had some oddly liberal views about hard drugs and associated peddlers, gangsters etc. Wasnt hard for his road safety campaigns to get ridiculed in context.
Since we are doing the resurrection shuffle, I read an interesting article in the paper that dare not speak it's name which indicated that in evidence to the Welsh Assembly the aforementioned paragon of integrity in all matters regarding road policing admitted that his force did not impose certain elements of the law relating to foreign HGVs for economic reasons, since they would simply transfer their business to Liverpool or another port whose police force did not police to the law.
Not sure what I think about that, nor his being fined in NZ for failure to insure a vehicle (actually I accept that anyone can make a mistake, but then to appeal the sanction did seem a little bit disengenuous to me).

One wonders whether cops should concentrate on enforcing existing laws, and keep their opinions private They could express opinions after retiring
