Surely you aren't using emotive numbers to try and back up your argument?
Anyway as for the radio part I've no idea whether or not he asked for assistance but I'll refer you to post 285 in this thread which shows the video of the incident that I'd recommend you watch. In case you don't want to check the post I'll repost the highlights.
The video - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/tyne/7990188.stm

It is.
That said the entire incident takes place over about 20 seconds. Either you don't spontaneously pursue vehicles or you accept pursuits may start and will go on for a bit before either the cop or the local control room stands it down. |
I have already said 94MPH and speeds approaching anywhere near 100MPH on that type of road is quite wrong as that video quite clearly shows, and the is actually pedestrian crossings and houses in that video at the point of impact.

The point is really and I stand by it is that he was found guilty of killing someone and should be made to serve out the full term of his 3 year sentence without it being reduced for good behaviour and nor should he be let out on licence while serving his sentence even if it is only for Christmas and the sake of his children.
I feel absolutely no pity for this character or his family at Christmas and he should remain locked up for the remainder of his sentence.
