police test drive goes wrong, a case of big ego, small brain

Jimbo.

Very little info given, for all we know someone could have pulled out on him causing him to crash.

Suffering a bad back after an impact like that? Lucky cunt if you ask me!

ben_frst

no other cars involved + no comment from the force to how it happened, i guessing he was going to fast for whatever situation he was in

gutted hope he has a long and painful recovery

^. What makes you think 'he' . Just because its an officer you 'wish' a long recovery. -nice.

Jimbo.

If you mean that then you really are a cunt.

thats one of them its got 4wd watch this ooooo shit

Joshy

completely agree

Oranoco

Copper ran out of talent, simple as. No other vehicles involved and police refusing to give details as to how it happened says everything.

Wish the guy a speedy recovery though as that was a nasty one

Saw this...had to read the text before I realised it had previously been an R32

Similar thing happened when they first gave cossies to the police though, a couple got totalled within a few days so they took them off them. Chances are on a test drive, normal 'protocols' didn't apply and he/she pushed a bit too hard. Plenty guys off here have done it on track, they were unlucky enough to have done it on the road.

Still wish said driver a healthy recovery though, regardless of what we may think of unmarked stealth cop cars.

Sengaaaa

very true , just a human like us but ffs!! that fekn golf is totally wrecked , now thats no 70mph or less smash .the driver has been giving it the beans so to speak and although lucky to be alive is even more lucky the stupid stupid fecker never killed anyone else whether it be another motorist or some1 walking down the street.... so you know what , i too hope he has a long painful recovery - maybe the next time he thinks he's the worlds greatest driver and wants to go for it - he'll think twice.... rant over.

Jimbo.

Now we have 2 cunts on this thread.

TBH, that road list lined with stone walls and steel barriers. Wouldnt take much to get it into that shape.

Wow thats some mess, he must've been giving it some!!!!

Sengaaaa

ah well ,i must be a cunt then for having my own opinion , would you still be thinkin the same way jimbo if it was a thieving wee scrot that rolled it , or a drunk driver or junkie bas*ard . tell ye, see if that clown had hurt any of my family when out trying his golf ,he would've been needing more than a fecking ambulance by the time i was finished with him , policeperson or not .

Jimbo.

You're not a cunt for having your own opinion, everyone will have their own views on stuff, however you are cunt for wishing a polieceman a long painfull recovery when he was simply carrying out one of his duties. The police are always performing training excercises and testing new vehicles and it just so happens this one ended badly.

I don't think you can compare this incident to someone who drink drives or steals a car for kicks, but even then I wouldn't wish for someone to have a long painfull recovery.

So yes, I do think your a cunt for thinking that.

If he was testing it that hard it should have been done on a track like everyone else got to. And i bet he or she driving it want get a single point for it to.

I wish the driver a speedy recovery. However I think that's the best thing for a golf.

jameswrx

Would have been nice to see that happen though! Imagine strolling up to the driver after that... "ello, ello sunshine! Now then, who do we think we are Evil Knievel?"

I hope the driver is ok.

tommytwotanks

bet he/she doesnt get prosecuted for undue care and attention/dangerous driving, they will just have a laugh about it and blame someone else for getting in the way

arch

Actually, judging by the damage the speed wasn't that great. Seems he lost it on the traffic island. Bet the rest of his mates are ripping the pee out of him.

P_is_for_Paul

Golf R actually Worlds apart from an R32!

rs_traynor

sore one that

saph4be

Look at all the experts who can tell what happened by a pic!

James

Yeah, it's missing two cylinders for a start!

Sengaaaa

jimbob ,call me a cunt if u like -stick n stones son , as for wishing a copper a slow and painful recovery , yer fekn right and i would feel the same way if it was a joyrider ,drunk ,boyracer -whatever . there is absolutely no place for driving an unfamiliar car testing its limits on public roads leading to a massive shunt like that.. said driver should have known better . oh and who's picking up the tab for the accident , US the taxpayer . unfecking acceptable

bishbashbosh

At the end of the day nobody was killed, cars can be replaced where humans cant (well some can lol).

I'm sure their current policy would make very interesting reading then. These "test drives" must be very common, although it's only when they crash it makes headlines.
They must do a lot of racing about or something.

I take it your a saint then? Never speed or have a blast on the road? We're does it say he was on the limit? You are a complete cunt

zetec-Sam

iTrader: (2)

Tbh, testing them on public roads is what should be done, afterall, it's where they're going to be following the cunts that are running, possibly at the limit.

stevieturbo

Testing on their own, with no supervision ??

Not a fucking chance. No doubt if this hadnt hit the headlines, the cop would get off with no charges at all.
Fortunately due to the media coverage, he may at least get convicted of something.

Can't be one rule for us, and another for them. I'm sure most police forces accident statistics are pretty bad. Their cars take some severe beatings they are crashed that often.

Oh no, not alone ofcourse. And tbh, when trying to stop some prick in a stolen vehicle, ofcourse cars will get crashed. Rather a copper damage their car, but stop the thieving gyppo than let them all get away!
