I personally dont know how I would react if my life was put on the line by a cop wrecklessly driving to catch a silly traffic offense, It probably would involve me giving the cop a big peice of my mind irrespective of what he may be doing with a trivial ticket writing proccess.
Ive run out of fucks to give

Just remember guys that the police when in pursuit can legally do 30kmh over the speed limit with flashing lights on, and sirens where appropriate.....
The only time they can break that limit is when there is lives in danger (for general duties) OR when the vehicle being pursued is endangering lives (ie they have to be forced off the road....) and even then they have to be in contact with comms at all times giving the speed of their vehicle, estimated speed of the other vehicle, traffic conditions, road conditions, whether the vehicle being chased is erratic or not etc.... Then the pursuit can be called off or not by comms (have been in a few chases, ofcourse not being the chased
and the adrenalin really does get flowing....)
Once again it is the odd loose cannon/idiot that is giving them a bad name.....

Those are all fair comments. The only thing I want to say is that if driving behaviour requires police attention then speeding by the cop is inevitable until they fit tractor beams into Holdens. Also, every driver is responsible for their own behaviour, a cop driving like a maniac is no different to any other maniac, except he will draw more attention to himself.Hmmmm.... that's a thought. Wonder how the cop who ticketed me had to drive to catch up, given that: (a) he was parked in a lay-by when I went by, (b) I don't think I went below the speed limit between when he pinged me and when he pulled me up, and (c) there would've been a lot of traffic between us, as it was a very busy road.
I can honestly say that I was riding very carefully and safely, and speeding when overtaking (in a passing lane) was the only law-breaking I did.
Wonder who caused more of a potential hazard to other road users? No-one had to get out of my way....
I'm not trying to justify breaking the law, and I didn't actually see the police car until he was behind me with the siren on, so I can't comment on his driving, but I'd imagine there are times when in order to serve a ticket, police actually are actually more of a danger than the "killer" speeds of miscreants like myself....
When the 'bottom line' of traffic laws is safety, this makes you think, dunnit?

After a few pursuits the adrenaline doesn't flow like it did for your first one. In a two up car the passenger does the radio commentary, leaving the driver to concentrate on their job. If you are on your own it can be pretty tricky to manage everything.Just remember guys that the police when in pursuit can legally do 30kmh over the speed limit with flashing lights on, and sirens where appropriate.....

Went in to the local station today to follow up the complaint only it was 4:30 in the arvo and the station was closed for the day. Might have to take a day off and rock up in office hours.
Immature and proud of it.

What a shame, I'll have to have the whole day off, make a police complaint, and then spend the rest of the day hooning around.

In my experience its only the newbies that get really wound up on adrenaline. Yes, there is a high associated with making a catch but its the catch that gives you the high, not the chase.
