If he had radioed for assistance he would have been told not to pursue but try to keep in contact if possible.

Remember in that video he came to a T - junction and turned left and after a few seconds he decided that he had gone the wrong way, next he turned around and proceeded towards the incident area and then for reasons only known to him he accelerated up to speed far in excess of what would be thought prudent given the the surroundings and the type of road.


This road was a single carraigeway with crossings and houses in close proximity to the road plus it was neither straight nor level so obviously unsighted as to what may be around the next bend, yet he continued to accelerate and around the next corner we catch a glimpse of his victim starting to cross the road oblivious to the oncoming speeding car that showed no blue lights or even a siren to warn of his approach.

If she had heard a siren then she may not have attempted to cross at that moment and survived his passing at such a speed.

with all respect Moldova all of your above points have been explained and knowing the road and the area as well as i do i feel that the officer was justified somewhat in what he did others feel different as did the judge it is a argument that is going to go back and forth forever ,i have nothing new to add to my side of the argument
