tell me about it... especially the 155mph comment? 0-60 i would say quicker than 7 though... probably not aloud to take them to the red line.
As one officer said " We have to look after these cars" then got it banged in the bumper ... doh!!

Bug eye - no more than 140 with all that kit.
The grey haired bloke doing his "exam" in last night's show comes over as a complete ****. Manchester's finest? no wonder the criminal fraternity are so prolific.
Couple of shows back was even funnier, when the Evo8 left them for dead
What worries me more than anything, is the fact that they all go on about the "excitement" and adrenalin rush they get. No wonder there are so many **** ups...
You need skille drivers who remain completely calm doing that job, not excitable half wits...

The adrenalin rush and excitement are not necessarily a problem .... the skill of an advanced driver is how they handle it and channel it, not deny such feelings may exist. The adrenalin rush is a natural human reaction that you can't get rid of. You have to balance what you are doing and the likely risks posed by the suspects driving whilst making sure you are driving as safely as possible. That is not easy ....
The fact alot of the cars got away from them is because they were not driving like idiots to keep up. They manage to raise their game so as not to crash - and I don't include the attempt to block the car in; that will almost always result in a dent or two.
They will get done internally if they take the car off road and end up sumping it on a low tree stump. The thief couldn't care less about going off road and damaging the car ..... it's not theirs!
The guy who saw the car crash he was pursuing was barely keeping in touch with it but he will still be subject to an investigation of some kind to make sure he was driving as taught and not for example 'pushing' the car which was failing to stop.
I think the video showed he was some way away and he shouldn't have any problem - but the fact he will get investigated will not be much fun for him. No police driver wants a pursued car to crash .... aside from any feelings about the occupants it is just so much grief for the police officer!

Think that copper needs to get his car checked out!
No wonder he couldnt catch anyone,thinking its 7 seconds 0-60!
Has anyone got any footage of the skyline that was stolen and reached speeds upto 200mph??
