I've never seen the point in police having to drive their cars at break neck speed to get to where they are going. Ambulances & fire engines yes, as they have a purpose, most police drivers just see it as an opportunity to put their foot down and what for, to get to the scene of an accident which 9 times out of 10 is under control by the time they get there. They arrive and unneccessarily block off sections of the road to cause even more problems.
The other day a ford focus police car came flying around a bend in the middle of the high street. It must have been doing between 60-70mph in a 30mph zone and although they would of been able to see the middle of the corner there was no way that they could have known that no cars were stationary on the exit. I would say that they were very lucky not to cause a rather horrific accident because the road is known for traffic to build up and become stationary and the car cornered rather wide as well so if a wide lorry was coming in the opposite direction, no chance.
What makes it worse was the driver was a female copper
