Chasing a stolen car which starts driving on the wrong side of a dual carriageway

"the car is now breaking the speed limit, hes also on the wrong side of the road"

Nice of them to add that small fact of him being on the wrong side of the road to the main story of him breaking the speed limit! araagh!

and relax

Being on the wrong side of the road can be quite legal, it's not an absolute offence (which speeding is).

It's just a pain in the ass when people block the outside lane because they intend to turn right a long way in the distance. Lane hogging should be an offence and enforced if it isn't already.

Now if it's a scrote driving to the racing line then that's different. Speeding is wrong or so they say but tight lines are good imo. Fine work neatly done.

Ironic that they don't show hundreds of shots of p***ed drivers smashing into stationary cars and just falling off the road, isn't it..
