Other than looking pretty and scratching their privates.

There might be some intelligent ones, but most look like extras from the "Police Academy" movies.

I've seen them do a great job of efficiently crashed cars off the M4 over the border before. One of their duties definitely isn't holding a speed gun, so personally I'm quite happy with the change.

Tidying up, looking after breakdowns, rolling roadblocks to clear debris etc. On the whole they do a good job. Only problem is the reaction of the public thinking that they are plod - you'll get panic braking and 3 lanes of traffic doing 69mph past them.

Ah, motorway muppets. I always go past then at many leptons, they always give me a stern "looking at". Childish I know, but very satisfying.

Whenever I overtake one, this song always comes to mind http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EP7CDvQULXw

As opposed to unefficently crashed cars
"Sorry sir, but you just havnt crashed your car that well"
