I assume your in an unmarked car (no rear hi-vis / markings), probably do not hold any form of advanced driver training and by your own admission are "racing...", and driving in excess of at least the national 70mph. You don't show the speed in the 40mph limit nor the speed above 90mph to support the 120mph claim.
I would suggest that the driver was either on training or a call, and that your were lucky not to be pulled over for your own speed.
No matter what the law is - common sense says that at those speeds the police should be singing and dancing with everything on offer to show people they are flying in their direction! I have felt tempted to film this situation myself but have always been alone. Id love someone to start a website up specifically for catching police on video doing wrong.
Couldnt give a rats arse what training you have - at these speeds Id expect to see a car lit up like a ufo coming my way. I drove for GPs with green light before the days of paremedic cars and we were told that if you need to do something outside the highway code then you should use your lights (at the least) preferably the green and 3's.
You quote about the requirement for light while using the speed exemption is incorrect ! Your IAM cert is slightly less than the equiv of a police STANDARD driver. It doesn't come close to police advanced, which is another 4 week course. There could be any number of reasons for the officer travelling at that speed....you're driver was were braking the law and should be prosecuted.
And yes, I hold a police advanced driving certificate !
who was he training exactly ? or were they hiding in the footwell ? and even if he was in roadcraft that is no excuse for endangering lives of the road workers as the rest of the videos show on the hd.. if i upload the rest of the video you will see and very clear images also from the onboard cam.. this video is just showing part of what some officers do themselves and then say to the public its the law and they end up being banned.. think what you like i am only making a valid statement !
Who? Police Officers on their advanced driving course i would imagine. There's no endangerment to the lives of road-workers.. If it isn't a driving course then the officer(s) could be attempting to catch up with a speeding motorist in which case the road conditions would not necessarily mean he needs to use the emergency warning equipment. He could be on his way to a job and not see the need for B & T's which is down to the police driver at the time. Could be a number of things.
I was answering ryry. Watch what you say though as if I was a bit of a mardy I could take that lovely comment as 'mailicious comms' :)
Look simple fact is we are just people in a uniform. Its just our job mate. YOU HONESTLY would be shocked if you came out with us and saw the real UK. It is mad out on the streets. These guys just need to improve their skills. Remember one day it maybe your loved ones that need to get to
well the instructor and pupils must of been invisable then to 2 cameras and the naked eye even at approx 10ft away ?? do you want a collar number of the driver ??
If they are advanced drivers why cant the average joe get trained to be one and then everyone can break the speed limits... its all a load of bollocks at the end of the day were all human and we all shit the same what difference does it make know one can read the future
Because when does average Joe have to confront somebody with a knife or drag a body out of a burning car and have a few mins to get a few miles in ruch hour and lifes depend on it.
could have been on the way to an emergency...traffic is light, no need for blues...maybe on the way to a burglary in progress? or then again maybe havin the craic but they can handle the speed
the law states if they exceed the speed limit in any zone they have to have there lights on, sirens if they come into traffic etc. yes there is no traffic but i cant see any lights can you? besides if they were on a call, there not much use 40 miles away from the cheshire border on the A55 in north wales when it a cheshire car? This isnt the whole vid anyway, only a low quality clip? Oh and as for speed i hold a full race license and IAM cert so i am more than capable of driving at high speed.
totally get what your saying but i guess they need to train somewhere, reminds me of that case where the copper got questioned about speedin and let off cos he said he was testing the abilities of the new patrol car, lol
Do Police Advanced Drivers not need to be trained to reach incidents that are life threatening to help people??? Would you not want them to get their quickly and safely if you had a serious car crash and they were 20 miles away????
yeah man, fuck the 5-0, i was watchin this motherfucker speed in a 40mph area, but yet they get motorists done at xmas cos they want a fuckin bonus so that they have a turkey to stuff, haha, fuck the police, ill stuff their wives hahaha,, they have a fondness for my night-stick.lol MC BURBERRY YA DICK ED'S

Leave them to it, maybe they will do the same to you when you decide to break the law one day.

As Chimpo states, training units are exempt as they need to practice roadcraft at speeds. It''s called 'making progress'
There's a vast difference between a police driver and whoever these muppets are filming with nothing better to do with their time.

Where does the law state that!
1996chimpo 2 years ago
@zx6rken No it doesn't lol - sirens/lights are optional warning devices which don't need to be used if the conditions don't warrant them.
