Early 90s Police Documentary

[@nonamespecified1262]

90s. Best time of my life, take me back now, my bags are already packed, I'm ready to go..

[@DTM93]

Best tv shows, good economy, great music, decent weather, fun gaming, cool cars. Yep checks out let's go.

[@mistofoles]

The guy who looks like Tom Cruise was very lucky to have escaped serious injury.

[@fergy1ful]

Check the fuel prices in the first seconds........wow, if only!

[@christopherhulse8385]

When I passed my test in 1991, cheapest petrol was £1.25 a gallon! that's around 27p a litre!

[@michaelhawthorne8696]

That's the first thing I saw, was going to make a comment but you got there first....Half the price of 2021 prices

[@Peskyjooba]

@@michaelhawthorne8696 i remember as a kid seeing 60-70p (born in 93) so I’d imagine it must have been early 2000s my earliest memory of petrol prices (not that I was driving, mind!)

[@robbiehillier1760]

@@Peskyjooba that's right, when I passed my test in Sept '99, unleaded was 61p a litre, around £30 for a full tank for our family fiat punto!

[@alwaysindenial1039]

And wages were obviously lower as well as House prices and inflation

[@MarkPMus]

Yeah, A is for Accident is on YT. And it contains an even more heartbreaking story than the two blokes who got the lorry up their backside.

[@theaylesburycyclist8756]

I can remember this being broadcast in late 1994.

[@FourteenWords-n4l]

It was a very good year .. for girls in courdroy hipsters, vest tops and smoking hash.

[@joelwarfe306]

The date on the police car footage reds 1994, so this programme would be 1994-1995

[@lbukem4259]

How did that guy survive that lorry shunt?

[@SERVICEOFHUMMANITY]

mad how much more strict rules have become. Those lorries would have been pulled over. You would never drive through urban areas at them speeds with no siren. crazy how a few decades changes things.

[@Simon-qn5wm]

I used to be like that young lad, looking for any excuse to go for a Drive. Now I look for any excuse to avoid Driving.

[@michaelhawthorne8696]

The end accident with the ambulance was irony in itself....good result....

[@MarkPMus]

That poor bloke describing the lorry driving into the back of him perhaps shouldn’t have been driving on the motorway whilst telling his story. I thought he was going to burst into tears at one point. Petrol at 56.9 in 1994, allowing for inflation is about £1.10 a litre, according to B of E inflation calculator.

[@Keithbarber]

Truck driver frustrated at "only" doing 50? Within a couple of years limiters began to be fitted restricting vehicles to 56mph

[@mortgagewizard40]

yep 1994 they started to fit them,,

[@JP100AND1]

Police: Is that the way you normally drive? Bloke: No, no it isn't. Police: Have you got any points on your licence? Bloke: Yes, I've got 3. Police: What's that for? Bloke: Speeding!

[@harrisonhealey1679]

I think because of it being such an old car they were in when lorry hit actually saved them. The weakness in the chassis crumpled in so much using the back seats as the impact energy dissipate that they probably would have not been so lucky in a modern Car and seat restraints as the 0-50mph would have occurred much quicker due to the stiffness of modern chassis, more crumple zone in old car!

[@dantdmisamazing7421]

You fancy him he.....

[@brownman9009]

Hmmm I would say this is about around 1994 around that time

[@marknestbox]

The biker at 4:09, did he survive? By any chance are you reading this? Just to say, that was utterly horrific and it'd be nice to know you came through it. That total tosser, doing a U-turn right below the sign saying not to, needless to say I bet he got off with a fine and points as usual. He should have had 5 years inside and no parole. Regards.

He was close to death.....That lorry driver must have been jailed "Lack of due care and attention", anyone in the back of that car had no chance. Rubber knecking over Phone use because of the date of the crash......Either way..disgusting.....

Who is the anointed one who dispenses privileges to the peasant prey that supply their flesh to the huntsmen to feed the pleasures of the anointed one? Without this master and the guardians of his whimsy and desires, would any potentially worthless peasant know what to do, what to say, what to eat, who to pay, where to go, or even if he is allowed any such indulgence? Without orders from other men who own us, who profit only by our productivity, and who assign our value according to their idle concerns and insidious commissions, do we exist at all?
