Motorcyclists less at risk in pursuits - police.

If you want to outrun a cop while driving mums Civic you'd have to do some crazy shit to get away from a determined cop, while on a quick bike you could just be cruising and still get away.

Well...some of the time.....assuming you don't bin too.

When I was in UK I watched a program on police chases, and I noticed the cops going into corners wide and cutting in while the plebs did the normal run wide on exit - oops a lamp post thing. Wonder how much training cops get on driving?

A lot more than the dickheads that run from them putting everyone at risk.

I think adrenaline is the biggest issue. Stops you thinking clearly so increases risk. Cops should have less issues because they are experiencing it more often. Kind of similar to say, a professional sky diver vs someone doing it for the first couple of times.

Temporary? I doubt that, they've been around to long to be temporary
