That's a great watch, surprisingly good driving from him - committed but not over the top.
No way you're getting away from them without it being too congested with traffic though - they've got more power and a world of training to rely on.
their training deffo helps - not sure about power though ? generally 330d's right? so about 250hp and good tractionNo way you're getting away from them without it being too congested with traffic though - they've got more power and a world of training to rely on.
for whatever reason I know that mitsubishi evos are/have been sucessful in evading the police in chases and had a reputation for being perfect to escape
it looked like the most ground he gained was when he was doing 130mph along the a6

RE the Police Golf chase. I wondered, aren't we now at a point with tech that traffic lights could feature something to sense flashing blue lights, and accordingly change red lights to green, and vice versa on the opposite ones? Massive penalties would have to be in place for misuse by the public of course.
I think with modern technology we should be able to remotely kill the engine and lock all the doors. Problem solved. defblade said:
I always watch Welshdrive's vids as it's exactly my neck of the woods... I'm yet to star though 
LOL - I recognised a lot of those roads and to be honest the DCW seemed to court issues in an effort to call them out... That final clip of the Juke hitting him actually made me laugh out loud.... it seems he has a total lack of road craft and no ability to anticipate other drivers... as he is too busy creating footage...

Sadly the best way of escaping is to either drive so dangerously they call off the chase or airbag them early on.mini me said:

The FBI didn't need to with Microsoft as their OS has so many holes already.

TFL implemented one for buses a decade or so ago but it was thankfully scrapped after a trial period.WCZ said:

it's either a golf gti or a gtd, hard to see the badge at the end

Every time the Golf pulls away it's because they blaze through the lights and the copper slows to check for cross-traffic. And that section on the A6 where they really wind it up has a crest that must feel rather serious at 120...
how on earth can you get away with that without a prison sentence?
In my mind, Driving like that while attempting to escape arrest is a slam dunk year in prison minimum. Someone who actively puts others at risk in an attempt to escape prosecution is a clear definition of a risk to public safety and what prisons are built for.
Going on a twitter rant can send you to jail, But 130mph through red lights, suspended sentence?

Another idiot uploading footage of their own bad driving...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxbl5ROtILk
I'd say that was mostly justified. The Aygo pulled out regardless and then made absolutely no effort to get their toe down and instead just dithered about waving out the window and flashing the hazards. I'd have been pissed off too, although I'd have gone straight round them on the chevrons! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxbl5ROtILk
The Aygo driver put on their hazards lights, to acknowledge that the t
t in the camera car felt wronged. The driver of the camera car responded by aggressively sounding their horn at the Aygo whilst tailgating it. At this point, the Aygo driver then responded by gesticulating at the driver of the camera car and slowing down. Whilst two wrongs don't make a right, the idiot in the camera car was the one who decided to make a situation out of nothing.
tty driving from the Aygo. Sure, we all fk up occasionally and misjudge stuff, but whilst his/her token hazard flashing apology gesture was nice, s/he should have been mashing their right foot into the carpet which would have gone some way to defusing the situation. Instead, they just dithered about and then decided to retalitate by driving at 20mph because they didn't like their stty driving being beeped at.The horn is to be used as a warning, not a rebuke, that Aygo and the cam car were not in any danger of colliding.
Sometimes slow stuff pulls out, need to get over it, get past them and not make a big deal if it wasnt dangerous, its part of driving, you get trucks, horses, cyclists, learners, pedestrians and whatever, sometimes you have to slow down and it takes a bit longer, lost a lot more of his precious time uploading that to Youtube and is scanning the comments.
What did I do? I just backed off and let them get on with it. No drama, no raised blood pressure, no aggressive driving and no stupid footage on Youtube.
People just need to chill out a bit. Chances are, with the amount of idiots around, you will come across plenty of them.

Similar thing happened to me yesterday. Vehicle pulled out pretty much in-front of me and didn't really crack on. They then indicated left and turned off the road a few hundred metres down.

I usually back off and let people make their own mistakes, but selfishly doing this is one which winds me up no end.What did I do? I just backed off and let them get on with it. No drama, no raised blood pressure, no aggressive driving and no stupid footage on Youtube.

A couple of years ago I had the only real road rage experience of my life - someone in a molasses-slow Fiesta diesel van turned left out of a side road onto a derestricted A-road when I was right on top of him... I had to slow from 60+ to sub-20mph (the road was empty apart from him and me, so he would've had to wait 5 seconds not to be a dick).
He tootled up the road for 200 yards, then turned off up another road to the right at a ludicrously low speed (again slowing to sub-20mph before getting off the road, needlessly as the junction was massive).
As he turned off I tooted the horn (and it was a quick toot) and gave him the coffee beans, shook my head and carried on as normal. 5 minutes later I noticed him pulling crazy overtakes past tractors with oncoming traffic to try and catch me, following me for 10 miles up the A-road, then through my home town and trying to confront me.
In the end he just calmed down and stormed off...
This guy filmed himself being a knobber, and got 12 weeks in jail thanks to his own footage:

What a grade A knob, however, police estimate on speeds looks off to me? Doesn't look like 104mph??https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peyXOkO-Lyk

Driving without insurance.
Suspended sentence for ABH.
Punched someone in the face when they turned up at his to collect money owed for a car.
Lost his licence several years earlier due to motor neurone disease but still drives like a t
t and tries to force other drivers off the road.Laurel Green said:
Regarding the first one, I think it takes experience to think 'why has that vehicle stopped like that?' It can be a clue that's there's a hazard they're aware of and you're not. It's easy to think 'I'll make some progress here' without wondering why other road users have stopped. I wonder if the Scooter rider was incapable of stopping behind the stopped motorcyclist?

Some good ones on there. I think the guy at 2.33 in the polo needs some anger management classes. Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
