Thats better, thanks.

He probably normally drove the Volvo and couldn't cope with a little oversteer!

Not sure if the occupants would agree with you.

Anyone know cause/outcome?

The cause was incompetence by Plod thinking he was better than he was. Not on a shout, no lights, no sirens, just lucky nothing coming the other way or they would have been wiped out. He lost it on a right hander and over corrected!

Don't know the outcome as when I wrote and asked I was informed that "it is the subject of an investigation". I expect nothing happened, the same as when they shoot innocent people, and there have been several over the years, or they removed him from Traffic for a while or he maybe took early retirement due to the stress caused.

Before this turns into another lets bash the police as none of them can drive as well as I can thread. Could you please post some fact about where you got your information from. How do you know they were not on a call ? You don't need lights and sirens for a call. How do you not know it was down to a tyre blow out etc etc

Fact please not just made up second hand information. If the driver was at fault then maybe we could leaen from his mistakes. Make us all better drivers.
Maybe it was stolen by a member of the public.

No other vehicles, dry road, good visibility, modern capable car, just shit driving I reckon. Must have been too used to their normal understeering barges! Generally known amongst the constabulary that there was a time to beat between the speed limit signs of two local villages. This plod was the slowest.

Don't the police have an exemption allowing them to park upside down in a hedge when on police business?

Perhaps he was testing a new car?

There is an old V reg car in the pic so I suggest this is old news.

Not sure what the symbols mean so can't predict.

It is indeed old news but obviously few on this forum had seen it before so thought you lot deserved a chuckle or even a right old guffaw!
