eek

Choosing to drive head on into a car shows a level of belief in the ability of modern cars to keep you safe, and it must have been very difficult not to swerve at the last minute.

Its a shame that a Stinger could not have been used but I suspect however that time was
against them to try and avoid an even bigger incident.
Brave officers to put themselves in that position. Hope they make a speedy recovery.

Balls of steel. At least it will be a good dining out story.

Pretty much what I was going to say.

Drive safely guys, or best of luck with controlled crashes!

I bet there's a lot of paperwork after that!

Blue (I think) unmarked BMW 3 series on the M3, reg was HV12 WGC just before jct 4a @17:20 yesterday.

Only noticed it when it drew alongside and the blues lit up! Then pulled in front and some friendly advice given on the matrix board "Limit 70" and the blues still flashing.

They then turned off at the junction, looped round and then set off in the London bound direction.

Thanks for the friendly education much appreciated clap

Beats dealing with a scamera van anyday

Seemed to be some kind of police speeding operation around Surrey today - lots of marked cars around, a grey unmarked 3 series in a layby between Englefield green and Sunningdale, two camera vans driving around and one parked up zapping people in Slough town centre. Reckon he got some of the cars in front of me but I was feeling to lazy to speed today tongue out

Weird one this evening, going through the HH Tunnel in the outside lane at 74mph on the dials and the car behind flashes me. I look in my mirrors and see a dot matrix sign in the front window of the car 'POLICE' so I move over. Unmarked Grey Mk2 Octavia VRS in grey, speeds off, no lights or sirens just something mounted between the spoiler and the bootlid - possible camera?
