police chase gone wrong...

same officer, 2 very very bad results...

1, 125mph chasing a m3, a lorry moves across 3 lanes into the side of him... :confused:

2, 115mph blow out... controlled the initial blow out, but spun avoiding other cars.

First one is at least partially his fault. The lorry driver isn't expecting cars coming at 130mph behind him.

and because its a curve his mirrors are blocked by the trailer. The officer shouldn't have assumed anything... some people are idiots on the road and do the wierdest things...

but he wasnt chasing anyone, at least i couldnt see any car in front of him

he was, a BMW had passed him at slightly over the limit, but as he got far in the distance he thought he was far enough away from the cop and gunned it. Thats why he was SO far behind.

Thats what he said, you cant really control what happened the second time, a blow out is a blowout, his car moved from lane to lane almost uncontrollably and then span, not a thing he can do, you cant brake as that makes it worse.

he kept "control" of the blow out but it was following that path into lane 2, 1 then hard sholder... he had to brake to avoid hitting the other guys. that caused the spin.

if he hadnt he would have ended in the back of that van, or off the side of the motorway in a field.
