The thing that worries me is the police car travelling at 124 MPH on the hard shoulder if a vehicle  breaks down the driver will try and coast onto the hard shoulder and being preoccupied with the vehicle breaking down may forget to check their rear view mirror which would result in an accident causing serious injury and maybe death at those speeds.

@mickb2170 - Totally agree, there was no margin for safety.

@wembley05 Thank you for your comments, but just to set the record straight, if this incident would have ended up with a fatality, it would have me as the Pursuit commander who would have gone to court.

Love the double standard when it comes to what is considered dangerous driving by the public compared to the police. I've watched enough of these videos that, if a member of the public drove at the same speeds and standards as the police officer, but without the colour and authority of the law behind him - he'd be in prison - what hypocrisy!

@V6POWA I remember the days when the M6 motorway in Staffordshire had it's own dedicated traffic group and turned out at least 6 cars per shift...... It had Police posts at Keele and Hilton Park, the days of the Jags.....

@advancedbiker

I was wrong in what I said, sometimes risks have to be taken on "situational basis" to catch those that pose a threat and I apologise for my previous post.
