Vanashing car!

Do they think we're stupid when the car just disappears you can clearly see the video is just cut to another part and when they see he drives really fast the footage is just sped up, I mean wtf, then with the fence he just drives though it.
 
They just put a supernatural twist on it to make it seem more interesting, it looks like careful editing really; also noticing the sped up film. Aside from anything else, that video stream is too poor to make out much.

I'm guessing the film is sped up because viewers only want to see the action. Speeding the film up is better than cutting and changing scenes, where the viewer doesn't really get a sense of how events are unfolding (the distance covered etc.).

I doubt the editing was malicious.

what about when they say, look how fast he is going whilst the film is sped up

also note the obvious cut when they say the car disappears and reappears, you can see the shot clearly change from one to another.
 
First time he “disappears” you can clearly see rear lights off to the left.

Waving left and right is moronic driving not supernatural.

Typical American “making something out of nothing” news/TV.

I want 1.56min of my life back please!

Probably a smashed up car with a rotting criminal in it...

If you said that in an American accent , I would swear you are the bloke who presents " World's Wildest Police Videos ".

"His moves are still baffling to the police as he swerves all over the road, driving like a man possessed. And just when he's really thrown the cops for a loop, he gets back on the straight away [clip speeds up] showing off a seemingly supernatural speed..."
I don't think the person doing the voice over realised the tape was being sped up at that point. I agree, there are no signs of the car driving at any "supernatural speeds"

Yes, the clock in the top left indicates there is around a minute's gap in between the shots. Still, the commentator might not have meant "in the blink of an eye" literally; just in the sense that the cops lost the driver only to find him again a minute later (which is pretty unlikely given the conditions).

Either the person voice overing doesn't have a clue what he's talking about, or this entire clip is meant to be a satirical take on shows such as "World's Wildest Police Chases" ;)
