rubbish. it would be easier tbh due to more traffic lights, they are using the other side of the road and have control of the lights to manipulate, also all the box junctions too that have been added !!!!

i still dont get why risk all them peoples lifes to save one person ????

they aint generally bothered about people that much,,,,,, hospitals refuse to give operations if your over weight ect ect,,,,, so why do a big dash for someone whos on death row, the copper admited that if someone stepped out he wouldnt ahve been able to stop

wonder what this birds actual role in life is ????

It's shown on Sky quite regularly and I've seen it a couple of times now but it's an awesome watch. I can well believe he's knackered at the end.

I just watched all of that and only skipped a few small parts. Very impressive that they made it. Those cars were fucking slow though! 120mph MAX?!

The old Rover area cars are probably better than the BMW's we have now... BMW's are far too low for speed bumps.

I would have been on the floor after that run, so exhausting

have run on blues down a lot of those roads, and you need to have eyes up your back side as there is so much going on. The biggest problem they had was there were two area cars.. People hear the sirens and see a car go past but dont expect another one. So important to get the two tones right.

Good video and fair play to the drivers and their operators
