See speed can kill
Am surprised you didnt join in on the chase

 

[brightspark]

funny really. I was just thinking this morning how a set of circumstances can influence what you do rest of your life and wonder if one thing changed how you would end up and what would you be doing different

Had one pass me on the m1 the other day been chased by marked motors.
The odds of getting away are next to zero nowadays so why add more to the charge sheet.
Cracks me up when watching a chase on tv and you see the wagons group together. That soon slows em down

Pedant mode on

Speed doesn't kill, rapid changes of speed do...

After all people don't die just by going for a flight in a supersonic aeroplane.

More like inappropriate use of speed.

There lies the problem behind most high speed car chases , most of these clowns are off their box on something

We had the coppers chasing a car here at 2 this morning i had to prise the wifes nails out of the ceiling when they sounded their siren right below our bedroom window

 

[bricol]

It's when you watch those interceptor, police stop type programmes and think why did you stop a car width short - plant you car in 'em so they can't get out of the gap, end it now.

 

[gaz1]

i suspect those nails ended up in your back as she jumped with siren

moto of thief the more dangerous the chase putting people att risk the police back off during the chase

hit a police car there all after taking you out the hard way

 

[jordhandson]

wow such excitement you get up there, we dont tend to see much down here in the sticks, a snoozing deer startled me a while back it was in between one of the sheds when I came upon it, it near knocked me over. Our force has a new interceptor being rural it has got to blend in though.

Sadly we had to drive down to the Birmingham new road where a few days ago a car racing about killed a two youngsters and then decided to run away, Two lives lost and a family that will be left damaged forever, It could be any of us just going about our daily lives and taken away from our loved ones in seconds. https://www.expressandstar.com/news...brothers-killed-in-birmingham-new-road-crash/

FIL had heart failure doing over 80 mph , usually he never went more than 30 mph in bright sunshine . He & his car were found well alight parked under a full bin lorry on the opposite side of the rod … Rubbish way to go apparently .

Exactly the flight in the plane won't kill them but when the plane suddenly comes to a stop in milliseconds that's what kills you

I usually drive through that spot exactly when it happened but I was running a few mins late that day .. got there just as they put the block up

Still getting people flying down at 70

yes at certain times its like a drag strip just the same as by me in Penn, We had a kid knocked over just by the crossing a few yards from the house and the driver just carried on but they are on CCTV, I still have not looked at the footage but the police have it to try and catch the driver.
