police camera action

[mike oxard]

usual crap journalism, just showed a US driver losing control and crashing- due to excess speed. hmmmm you didn't mention he is fleeing police and changing lanes like mad, such a biased stupid bit of journalism, how about mentioning that 70mph is just about the lowest national speed limit of all the European countries, and how about mentioning that its not speed that kills its inappropriate speed that kills, i'm guessing the BRAKE nazi's were heavily consulted for the making of this program


rant over

I was just wondering how long it would take for someone to post about this I'm watching it now.

Im enjoying this programme at the moment. So amusing to look at the face of that stupid presenter HOW FAST WHERE YOU GOING!!!!! OMG!!!! "Yeah i often go 170 then i slow down to a safe speed of 100mph" lol!!!!

That operation on the M6 Toll kind of defines the term "shooting fish in a barrel" doesn't it! I thought it was quite telling the way they sort of ignored the one doing 87 though...

The biggest problem I have with programmes like this is the way they use footage of criminals wiping out during police pursuits as evidence of why "speeding" is such a bad thing.

yep, boils my piss! really poor journalism. using sensationalist footage to get across a completely unrelated point

[Harvey Mushman]

Worst load of absolute c@@p for ages.

Pathetic research and and no logic, you can pull the programme to pieces from start to.... well i turned it off before it finished.

The two cars one at 50mph and one at 58mph....... what are they trying to say, that the second one was doing 30mph when it went through the tape but manged to stop only 9 metres after the tape.....CR@P

Just been watching 5 minutes of this rubbish and thought I'd have a look to see if anyone had posted about the comical reporting regarding speeding.

Seems I'm not the only one.

Go on, you dipstick...

Stand on the hard shoulder in a torrential downpour...

With plod, for gawd's sake...

Plod...What's the difference between speeding on a motorway and speeding on any other road...?

Give me strength.

At least they appear to have dumped the serial drunk driver, Alastair Stewart, as presenter.
