Radio wave ‘zapper’ to aid UK police in ending chases?

A nuclear bomb within range would have the same effect PLUS it would have the added benefit of stopping all those within a say 100km radius from committing any future speeding offense also

I'll give you a call about the Benevolent Dictatorship I am planning for NZ. I like your style. Would you like "Director of Homeland Defence" for your title?

You've seen "Vanishing Point", haven't you ?

I remember the original movie when I was a kid - bloody excellent, especially the bit with the naked hottie on the back of the Harley.

At the risk somebody has already said this, the "hottie" was on a Honda (about a CB350) in the version I saw - although a fair amount of my attention was on the "hottie", after all it was in the '70s and ya didn't get to see a lot of that type of stuff at the flicks.

I don't know of any cars which are completely brake-by-wire or steer-by-wire, but if they were it could surely cause some horrific accidents.

Which would be the driver's fault for choosing an overly technological vehicle

Have you ever tried stopping a modern car from a decent speed without the motor running?

Try it sometime.

I think you'll find it was a Honda CB350.

Hated the end (what they did to the car) but at least it was only a Camaro (even though the car right through the movie was a Dodge Challenger)

You guys are showing your age

I must have been about 5 or 6 when I saw the original (repeat) and didn't know squat about bikes, except that the one in the movie was a cruiser style.

All cruisers look the same to me, probably like all sports bikes look the same to cruiser riders.
