Post by: paul1606 on 08 October 2011, 11:55:32 pm

nearly had a head on with a police car on the way home from work tonight ...... shit myself. I was in my car in the wet a police car with lights flashing came around the bend on my side of the road going like fuck with another following sooooooooooooo close i had to slam on & swerve onto the footpath nearly hitting the stone wallto get out of his way.
If i had,nt of taken evasive action it would of been a right mess what pissed me off ,the second car saw everything & never stopped, ive reported it don,t know if that was a bright move but i was shaking like a shitting dog when i got home

I had a very similar incident some years ago. A police car overtook a firetruck in front of me. The 4x4 in front of me drove onto the hard shoulder (Which was grass) and I followed her in my little sports car and promptly slid all over the shop and bumped her up the bottom. I ahd no chance of stopping, but of course, as I hit her, it was my fault. Not very fair in the circumstances, but I have to take it on the chin. When I spoke to the fire brigade about it, their answer was....'what police car?'....grr!

Perhaps we should dash mounted cameras for instances like this as well.

If you don't get an acknowledgement I'd go to the IPCC for the Force in question.    Dangerous use of Blue Lights is a serious matter.
