MPs and traffic

The NZ Herald has a story alleging Far North MP John Carter swore at a traffic cop when the officer alleged (incorrectly) his car was unregistered.

It’s not a big story, and John has said his behaviour was inappropriate, which he regrets.

Both MPs (and candidates) have to be angels when it comes to on road behaviour. I recall a few years ago an MP telling me regretfully that the thing he misses most about, is that he can’t give an idiot the fingers if they cut in front of them dangerously!
