:o :o :o
I bet their superiors knew nothing about that. :-?
-
lol and how many oof members are supernintedo's??
-
Imagine explaining that one away if they'd flipped it !!!!
-
;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Its not just that, what if they'd hit the crowd....on camera ! :-?
-
Pity someone aint sent it to the BBC. Would be enternaining hearing about it on the 6.0 oclock news
-
lol if you read the comments there are actually police officers arguing over whether its driver training or not....there no chance in hell thats part of a traing course, its not a controlled enviroment and its certainly not safe, just a newbie traffic officer with a new omega toy to play with, cant say i'm not tempted myself but unsure of how an auto box would handle it lol
-
Its the police they can do what they want and there isnt anything anyone of us can do about it, anyway whats the problem there having a laugh, if he got it wrong so what its there own fault everyone has a perk to there job and this is thiers.
-
easy old chap, just polite discussion i think we understand anyone in any job can be an arsehole, even the police
-
I thought it was well controlled and pretty cool!
-
well yeah the car was lol ;D
-
Once saw a traffic car fly over a speed hump in town and bottoming out with sparks everywhere and coppers in it laughing thier heads off, how I wish thier gaffer had seen it. I think it was thier little competition to see who can jump the farest.
Complete muppets, but its a rule for them and a rule for us.

Is he bein an arsehole though or just a talented driver having a bit of fun with his workers?
-

No there are no kids they are all adults by the looks of it

Quite possibly -- if that's a public road ---- how would they react sat at the side of the road having their sarnies and "joe public" drove up and did that in front of them !!

Thats the beauty of them being police officers they dont have to worry about that do they. Dont get me wrong i cant stand the filth myself but hey what can you do they get away with it.
-
i think we all know the answer to that, they certainly wouldnt be having a larf
-
Mind you -- I am only jealous cos I know, if I tried that, I would flip it or at least modify the bodywork -- such is my luck ! :-?
-
well i wouldnt go as far as calling them filth and i do respect police offers and think thay do a fantastic job, however i was quite shocked to see a driver who should have, as part of his job, common sence just have like none at all, and yeah i've got to admit, it looks cool as chuff
-
I cant see any force markings on the car, maybe its a TV prop been ragged about

From a previous post. Not much of a contradiction :-X
You will always get this argument while bikes are on the roads, and how do you expect us to see you when the majority of you ride round like bloody hooligans, and you moan we come to close to you? Whatever you come close enough to us when your taking are bloody wing mirrors off diving between lanes of traffic, i am sick of seeing signs up saying "think bike" if you didnt ride them like you had just stolen it you would be alright and we would see you. There is no counter argument to this it is known fact you see it everyday motorbikes being rode wrecklessly. Also if your that worried about a car pulling out on you cause they cant see you, dont get on it in the 1st place and you will be alright.
If you want the thrill of going fast go to a race track and do it, its what i do and its a lot safer for both cars and bikes

There's no indication that it's on a public road either. Probably a test track / training area.
Certainly not enough information to jump to any conclusions. Quite nicely executed though. :y

Also the road markings on the junction are quite odd, the "Copper"n the road side shirt is a single breast pocket, with a dark blue T shirt under it, hardly a good look to have,

I didnt untill i bought a subaru and got pulled over so many times i ended up selling it and not once did i get pulled for speeding yet every time i was spoken to by a police officer it was like i was a piece of shit they wouldnt wipe of there feet all because of the car i was driving.
-
you may be correct about the markings not being on the car, however do you think they teach those tricks at acting school??
But if that is the case its probably a stunt driver perhaps??

I agree Pauley -- but having once worn the uniform myself I am biased --- I have the utmost respect for these guys doing what they do in this day and age --- I am from the "Heartbeat" Days, not "Road Wars" ( maybe a bit of Hot Fuzz!). We still had whistles and chains, batons were wooden truncheons, the Pye PR was new fangled and what the hell was body armour !!!!!!

Its not a contradiction its just facing facts a simple as that.

I would imagine it was completly different in your day when you where employed to protect queen and country where now its to screw as much money out of the motorist we can, thats what pisses me off and i would also imagine a few ex officers too.

You could be right there :y

I just hope it's not a public highway ::) ::)

I remember reading about this on BBC news. The officers were reported to their superiors and got into trouble for it. I know a lot of police and I know they get away with more than they should IMHO, the general rule is 'Dont get caught.....!'
Tried looking for the article but cannot find it yet
-
I'd rather be stopped by a policeman than be caught on camera :exclamation
To be honest I don't have a problem with the police, I think as a rule they do a good job in difficult times. There is always going to be criticism of them because they're catching people doing things that they shouldn't. They're also people, and people make mistakes sometimes.
I got stopped for "accelerating too fast" once, which I thought was a complete joke given where I was at the time and the fact I didn't go above the legal limit, but hey, he found myself and the car to be 100% and sent me on my way. Suffice to say I was anal in my driving to the letter of the law for the rest of the journey because I was assuming the local bobbies would be on the lookout for my plate just in case.
I was looking at a B4 subaru legacy at an auction the yesterday and a chap came up and told me how they pull attention from the police "I once got stopped twice in a weekend for speeding" he said blaming the car.
Maybe he'd not have been pulled over and done for speeding twice in a weekend if he hadn't been speeding. We all do it from time to time, but you don't tend to get caught or pulled over if its not somewhere inappropriate (granted this doesn't account for getting pulled for 90 on a motorway at 3am)
Watching "Traffic Cops" at the mo on BBC1...I'm sure its edited to make it good-press for the police, but some of their hunches are superb.
Cameras dont catch drug dealers with bald tyres. Albeit with a little more situation based judgement, more cops please! :y

Nope it was real, I remember reading it. The officers saw the kids messing around on this road with their crappy boy racers cars and decided to show them what you can do with some proper training (and the right car)
Numpties didnt count on spotty sniveling chav putting the mobile phone recording on the web.
Still searching for the article
-
Well executed J-turn 8-)
-
Sure they do teach them how to drive like this, and some chauffeurs / VIP drivers. Defensive driving training for VIP's :D just my two penneth worth.
-
Nice J turn
-
Couple of my acquaintances train people to do that... very impressive.
From the video, it looks like they're showing the local yoof how to really drive, impress them and so get their attention. :y
