Crash Involving Police Van Closes Upper Richmond Road
Daily Mail : "Number of people to die in police car crashes hits highest in a decade at 42 with three-quarters from high-speed chases" 30 in the vehicles chased, 12 others...Is it really necessary to hit 80 mph on the High Street to arrive 10 seconds earlier to an emergency and risk the lives of tens of pedestrians? I find some police drivers to be very approximate in their driving and not all are trained to do high speed, the ones who are trained are possibly event more dangerous as overconfident. We don't need cowboys, I'm sure that going to an emergency is quick because they can avoid traffic and go through red lights, but flooring the gas pedal on straight stretches barely saves seconds at a huge risk for the public.
