Police Scooby vs Evo

Bloody hell. Are the Evo's realy that much better than the scoobys then?
Evo 8 Jap Crap
Police response drivers do advanced driving techniques etc etc there better than your average joe.
Anyway it was just a bit of fun i aint saying all evos will kill scoobies lol
Can do the first, but not the second.
You just have to think proportionately. Lives vs catching car theives. Those evo's are damn fast though!

Whichever has fuel
I was talking to someone a fair while ago (When the FQ 360's etc first come out) and he said if they had to chase one, they'd just not bother, nothing could keep up! lol.
Aye, i can see that! Think id give it a go for a few mins, and then slow it down, drop the lights and see if i could catch it another way/ could get chopper out once i had a total loss.
I think they just shout for the chopper. The cops that drive the scoobys etc have to do the full driving course. It sounds so much fun.
Its amazing how good people who have done so much advanced driving training can be.
Criminals get away by being wreckless. The Cops can realy drive quickly and safely (the properly trained ones not the 1.7cdti Astra bunch)

Yeah I think he was aiming it from a safety point of view, not ''fcuk it, we'll never catch it, lets go for a brew''. lol.
Not to the same standard as the fully trained ones though. Still good though.

Sorry meant nearside
. Should of said straight line/cut a corner with no line of sight.Police drivers that can hold pursuits are excellent drivers and im pretty sure if they were able to take corners like the bad guys then they wouldn't struggle.
A friend is an ex traffic officer and wasnt able to hold pursuits only start them, his driving is very impressive. Not only faster out of bends than i could manage, but fast in the right places and his observation (despite being out the job a few years) are superb. I wish the IAM course wasn't full of so much hot air and more like what the police are taught. At least they would teach you to drive fast safely.

Lol! Spot on, its an at first weird and completely different style of driving to normal. Even down to the way in whch you hold the gearstick. It all works though
You do a ridiculous amount of hours driver training too.
I think the theory behind iam is good in making safer drivers, but it can go to some peoples heads, and within a few hours they think theyre past their actual ability. Although ive not actually tried an iam course.
Lol!

my dad tried teaching me the high speed pursuit way of driving and its hard work. it takes a lot of concentration getting the posistion on the road right, looking far enough ahead and reading the road using such markers as telegraph poles to see what the roads doing ahead. He still tells me off now for bad position, cutting corners and not spotting things early enough lol

High pursuit police drivers are VERY handy. its just that they need to take into consideration the lives and safety of other road users which can give the crims an advantage
plus traffic officers have to carry alot of kit with them too - sometimes up to 200kgs
