in the case of the copper not putting the lights on ud think he could get wrong. as he is dangerous driving by nt letting other road users what he is doin i.e blue lights and sirens thats what they are for.

didnt see much wrong the police rider could have stoped him right at the start but chose to follow him for miles to see what else he could get him doing wrong

if the lad wasn't looking to hard in his mirrors he will have just thought game on lets have a blast with another biker

I'll be Frank (you can be gordon)... If said copper had had an accident or the biker he was chasing had had an accident there would have been uproar.

You can apply buts, maybes and ifs to any circumstance. As it stands the copper reeled him in and made sure he got his just deserts.

My thoughts exactly. Id say theres almost a case of entrapement (sp?) here. Although illegal of course, i dont think most of that riding was 'that' bad to be honest, well apart from the silly speeds in villages thats not good at all. The copper was not thinking of the best interests of the rider and the public by letting it go on for so long though, thats for sure!!!!!

I liked the "nearly had a head on" comment from the cop, the cop was the one who nearly had it, the cop was riding like a cock, primarily as other people did not know who he was, this should have ended a lot sooner, I think the cop should also get done.
The biker was a true nob for those speeds through villages etc though.
It juts looks like any other normal day around here with the moronic bikers around here.
