As they said, police cars aren't designed for going 150mph like a motorbike, so why did they even bother trying on such a busy road?

the bike did not hit anyone, i thought over here if a chase goes to over a 100 mph its abandoned because its too fast and dangerous, the policeman could obviously not control his car at those speeds but he pursued any way causing danger to himself and others which did end up serious. if the policeman decided the chase was to fast and dangerous and called it off would there of been casulties and deaths?????????

Copper should have decided the chase was too risky and backed off. Maybe call in a police helicopter to monitor the chase? Less chance of multiple RTAs that way.

in the Uk if a chase is to dangerous the helicopter or plane is called in. So they can watch it and pursuit from a distance.

As a result 2 people dead just for the sake of catching one speeder.

Why does it matter where it happened ... the whole point of this post is to raise the question of whether or not someone speeding is justification enough to put other lives at risk.

We all speed ... wether it be by 1/2 mph or 70mph over the limit ... hopefully we all do the silly speed when the roads are quiet.

However, this cop has decided that a biker speeding is the worst thing in the world and has been determined to catch the biker.

Subsequently he has caused the deaths of two people, not to mention multiple injuries. And this is all from a driver who's had advanced training!!

it doesn't matter if it's in America or india, the point is that a police officer, a figure of authority who been through so much advanced training made a bad call and f*cked up, and for what, a power trip? he should be up for death by dangerous driving, fair point, if the bike weren't speeding he wouldn't of done it, but on the other hand the officer made a conscious decision and has to live with the consequences.. not try to palm the blame off on someone who was able to get away and never take the fall.

In this country, if a cop breaks the rules when initiating a pursuit, they at least get a rap on the knuckles even if they dont get an unsafe driving prosecution.

A guy I know is a cop and a while ago, he spotted a known car thief in a vehicle matching the description of a stolen car.

He wasnt in a pursuit vehicle, but thought he could box him in in the standing traffic.

Unfortunately he did it slightly wrong, and the guy in the 3 litre stolen car, got away and hit a glancing blow to an oncoming car, which then hit another.

My cop friend got reported, with the car drivers annoyed with him, although he hadnt directly caused the collision, he had indirectly caused it.
