police interceptors on now

[anonymous-user]

Just seen the yellow transit in gainsbrough driving in the most dangerous fashion ever and as soon as the little scrawny fella jumped out and ran into the gypsy camp the 3 following pursuit vehicles let him go...

It's true that if you have nothing to lose then you have nothing to fear.

Remember this. Guy was driving around the car park centre of Bawtry where I can be wandering around from time to time with my daughter. not very impressive.

That's very true - if you have no money and a day in the nick is cool, you can do pretty much what you like.

Yes centre of bawtry like a madman. Rammed the police Volvo and pulled up outside the gypsy camp with the Volvo, Evo and police bike immediately behind. But as soon as he vaulted the 1m fence into the caravan park the narrator said 'driver escaped and never showed up to collect his impounded van' ... what a surprise. The camera car and officers were literally a couple of metres behind him but didn't follow him in!

New episode on now.

Scrote has a head on in a stolen car and causes an injury. And gets a suspended sentence....I was expecting him to get 5 years or so!

Useless fking judges.

[Laurel Green]

'The Audi went past as if the police car was standing still' it was then followed by a van.

[Laurel Green]

Like the number plate.

Doesn't hang about rejoining the motorway...

[Munter]

Can you imagine if he'd done that in France!

'Tis the best way to re-enter IMO.

[Six Fiend]

They seemed to enjoy his departure

[redtwin]

The script on his top refers to a VW breakers in Bradford. Wonder if he operated it/worked there and is normally resident in the UK or just an overseas fan visiting?.

[IanMorewood]

Had he not wanted to stop I'm not sure the Evo would have been able to keep up with the german guy in the RS4. Im suprised to be honest that filming in Derbyshire they actually got enough footage for an episode, usual police presence I see is half a dozen cars leaving to go to local stations at shift changes.

Making out that speeding/ doing 130-150mph was a bad thing. Then he points out that he can do that without any legal issues in germany.

Yet they make a big song and dance about the speed he was doing..


What utter sh!te and makes a mockery of the uk's speed rules.

To be fair, outside of the de-restricted Autobahns, Deutsche Plod would make a song & dance about that speed too.

Nice car though. I was hoping he'd disappear off into the distance to stop Voice Over man banging on about how fast the Plod cars are

I think (hope) the commentator gets his facts wrong from time to time.

In an episode a while back a car was stolen from a house. They found it. Had a chase at high speed. Got rammed (actually lightly bumped). Then the driver gave up. He was little abusive to the officer (lady ) who arrested him..........but was in the end let off due to lack of evidence.
Erm.......what?

This time around Im thinking the evo would have only just barely held onto the RS4, but would have had to leave the chase anyway. Would have been too dangerous

Could be wrong but, I think I heard somewhere that the trained interceptors do one hundred and fifty miles per hour

De limited which i expect his was i believe it can hit between 175 and 85 mph. The mitsu i believe de limited is 165-170mph top speed.

ETA: Although giving it a bit of thought the plodmobile was two up or was it three? With all their gear etc i expect they would have struggled to get past 155-160.

Just as an aside.

I reckon that RS4 would've ripped that Evo apart.

Had the plod been in a remapped diesel 3 series however....

Yeah, but the Coppers Interceptors are class 1 pursuit trained (and they have a favourite movie, food, and hobby) so he would have no chance.
