I've had a police officer waving a torch at me a couple of times, redirecting traffic on unlit roads at night.
It was impossible to work out what they were trying to convey, it must have seemed obvious to them but when they wave it back and forth from left to right, how am I supposed to know which of those two directions to go in? Especially when I can't see much else, owing to some berk waving a torch in my face.
On both occasions I had to stop and ask what they wanted me to do, which both were very rude about. Do they have to hand in their empathy at the training college?
It would work better if they just stuck an arm out and pointed, and used the torch to illuminate themselves.
They probably dropped the training day on directing traffic due to lack of funding.
