Somthing I've noticed since cops have been told to pull out of dangerous chases is the speeds they quote in the press, such as pulling out wehn speeds reached 80 kph in 50 areas, and 130 kph in 100 areas. I think that is rubbish! Grannies in there mobility scooters would have passed both the cops and the speedsters at that pace!
I reckon the people they are chasing and the cops themselves are going a lot faster, I mean, who is going to say in the dock they had been going a lot faster than the cops said they were!
Very fishy me thinks!

It's Triumph's fault for building a motorcycle for the rider to speed on that caused the accident.

Let's face it, the police played a significant role, as did the rider, BUT, the police should know better, and again as has happened in the past they were found to have no culpability in the events.

Same old same old !

It's Gottlieb Daimler's fault!!
