Honda civic type R chased in manchester

[@hellaflush.]

When reality kicks in before the vtec

[@britneyrichardson1729]

hahhahahaha good one

[@hondacrxxx]

Excellent comment !!

[@stoicspartan01]

VTEC kicked in several times before your so-called "come-on-now-civics-owners-are-all-bad forced down the throat" reality. I sincerely hope he had a good time, because I think he really didn't do much for this to happen.

[@theslipernator1402]

lmn8zzz Correct me if I'm wrong please. Are you saying the driver of the Honda Civic didn't do anything wrong?

[@SI0AX]

I the video, we don't see him do anything, but it seemed like he was called in by another police officer and alerted the video car police dude... and then he saw the Civic pass by.

[@BondTheOGYT]

VTEC KICKED IN YO

[@BondTheOGYT]

At 1 rpm

[@Lix198606]

?

[@charlieclarkson8040]

lol

[@minicooper2704]

Omg lol

[@darengurson]

yea Boi!!

[@Zeek.Images]

he only ditched the car because he had run out of oil :'D

[@king-manu2758]

XDDDDDD

[@PureRinseRecording]

more like the brakes were cooked

[@Marcony-R2D2]

He was jumping over those speed bumps in a lowered car like an idiot. Who knows what broke underneath

[@ThunderWindz]

oilpan

[@peadardonnelly1685]

+Marko Mravak yea I've got ep2 and was driving at night one time and there was a speed bump all worn out so didn't notice it and hit it at 40, exhaust came right off

[@spicyroo4429]

this is almost more intense than American police chases because of how tight the roads are

[@fordtechmustang869]

LOL intense? this is nothing compare American chases. are u kidding me? i almost fell asleep watching this 😂😂

[@DreamCarGarage1]

After all that chasing the other police car got there first.

[@JGulickx]

But he told the other ones where the civic was

[@blizzap09]

It's called team work

[@richardflood3058]

If it was Ronaldo driving he would have started crying when he saw the other police car was there first lol

[@jamesbaggaley1460]

"LC02 MLY" - This car is still on the road with 124,000 miles according to the DVLA MOT checker. I wonder if the current owner would want to see this?...

[@Eireann.]

I would if I owned it.

[@Twongz_does_anything]

Its not anymore

[@jamessmith84240]

People love to hate on CTR's but the fact is that on bendy roads they are a very capable car.

[@Azrael600rr]

I can see that lol the way the car handled was really good like shit I thought he was an near in railroads lol

[@khanimmy2220]

Giv this man a medal for his driving skills

[@BlueStarJT]

I know , the police officer really deserves it .

[@jontebakhjul.aka.jkstuntman]

I bet it was a kid behind the wheel

[@deusrex6230]

I'm a northerner and I approve of this

Lool

[@martinmchugh715]

im a northerner i dont approve but looks fun ha

[@slayersdeath]

well i suppose its better than been stabbed if your in london

[@janjanjan922]

thats one of the most iconic type r's around and quick as fuc in the corners, v tec yo i still want a s2000 or type r again

[@JamieR1988]

That guy can drive!! lol

[@ThunderWindz]

well no he destroyed the engine

[@kristinashantarina7659]

It's a pretty quick car

[@randalflagg9086]

Just an average Manc twoca it's in our DNA Hahaha fuck GIMP

[@TheCommanderNZ]

Bulshit, Honda is a piece of crap. And I can say thing because I owned a type r. Just fucking rice.

[@JamieR1988]

You're a fanny mate. You've never owned an Type R. If you had, you wouldn't be saying that. Now fuck off ya cretin lol

[@h4mza786]

VTEC kicked in yo

[@Sam_S2k]

lol he probably did make it kik in LoL

[@blademanx]

Type R is not a joke..........

[@Sam_S2k]

Blade ManX what?

[@matthewkuhl79]

Engineering Explained viewer?

[@k1ortia]

I thought that cop car was pretty quick in a straight line, show it some tight bends though and its all over. never knew civic ep3 type R,s were so quick. Imagine if he was on his own with no extra weigh...dayyyum.

[@roversnolan1]

most likely the 2.8 turbo V6 Vectra. Same engine as the vectra VXR so it can certainly shift.

[@SteveWoods79]

in a straight line maybe, cornering isn't exactly its strong point.... great for motorway pursuits but not so much around the streets.

[@roversnolan1]

to be fair they did a pretty good job of following it. The police will always be at a disadvantage in a pursuit considering that they have to take more caution at junctions. I think the cars straight line speed and acceleration kept them in it. It's the same with with big old 5 series BMWs that they use. Plenty of power on the open road but for pursuits in urban areas they will struggle. That's where the Subarus, evos, Audi S3 and focus ST come in handy.

[@terry141186]

I would say it because the civic has the advantage of independant rear suspension but so does the vectra. Its plainly because honda know how to set up a chassis and vauxhall haven't got a scooby doo.

[@rrplanb4030]

Good driver in the EP3. He used the cars cornering speed to good advantage. He is no doubt a criminal of course, that goes without saying.

[@omardude39]

This police driving is some of the best and most efficient I have ever seen. he is clearly reliable.

[@Don-Coyote-De-Transylvania]

But he lost it.

[@PatrickEVRAable]

And this is why they no longer issue fucking Vectras to the Police

[@JuanGarcia-zq5tp]

Now they use BMW, Ford, Skoda. In Spain the police use Renault and SEAT.

[@broken_biscuit6716]

2.0 Petrol Ford Mondeos should be on force's shopping list.

[@PatrickEVRAable]

Remapped 535Ds

[@abdullahsekai4279]

LOL

[@mark-1rc502]

+PatrickEVRAable They don't actually remap them The special vehicles are made by the manufacturer , Thicker anti roll bars heavy duty bushes , Tougher suspension , Things like that. No engine modd

[@HMSDaring1]

Classy driving and commentary from those officers! Well done, a returned car and the suspects apprehended.

[@ryderm3907]

I wouldn’t want that car back after that 😆😆

[@OverlandTT]

Almost 90mph in a 30 zone! For a stolen car! Seriously... No matter how well trained this police driver is - YOU CANT CHANGE THE LAWS OF PHYSICS! The persuit was what caused danger to the public as the civic driver was calm beforehand and a more stealty approach may have been better!

[@welshboyuk7651]

Yep I totally agree, and they say these traffic police are highly trained drivers well I would never drive that fast past all those parked cars on a 30mph road

[@teflondon4963]

no amount of training can make that safe

[@victorstoulm3356]

That's why I wanna become police so of the bitch :D

[@epender]

The police are here to protect us and our property, it's either they let him drive around like a maniac for ever in somebody's stolen car or the try and stop it and use very loud and bright warning sirens and lights.

[@epender]

And did you see any children?

[@NearTheLimits]

I was just begging for a female driver not to be driving in the opposite direction and blow the whole chase.

[@numbereightyseven]

Female, elderly, or foreign. Urgh.

[@TerryMMA]

yeah i do feel for the police driving around like this is so dangerous hitting 90mph in a 30mph would hate to have to do this.

[@papapetad]

Don't feel sorry for them. They're pumped full of adrenalin and loving it. Beats most of the shit they do taxing people for breathing air in the wrong nostril and shit. This is their favorite activity, pretty exciting stuff.

[@fillipo1972]

I strongly suspect that the police are absolutely buzzing in this situation. Purely due to the danger

[@ghosthunteruk2407]

them honda civic type R's are like shit off a stick i had one 2 year ago and it was lethal

[@Andrew-tr5zg]

Police need to get them by the looks of it!

[@ghosthunteruk2407]

agree mate

[@keithwareing6618]

ghosthunteruk

[@Michelle_Schu-blacka]

ghosthunteruk I was done with Civics when they became slab-sided monstrosities.

[@MotionPlays]

Then why couldn't it get away from a Vauxhall Vectra?

[@hammy316]

civic had 4 ppl in it more weight still out run cops if your wanted in a car don't put all your mates in it ha ha

[@z7ealot282]

The cops have to ensure public safety, if they didn't have to do that this cop would have stayed on their ass through out the chase.

[@adampeters601]

+A Small Acorn hahahah fuck off you clown.. thay civic is pulling on the cop car.. and it will any day of the week, you can tell hes revving fuck out of that panda car.. 😂 idiots like you should be slapped 😂

[@z7ealot282]

Adam peters Lol alright lad, this Cop is sat in a Subaru and is easily staying on him. He has to follow road regulations and has to stay on the radio with only one hand on the wheel, while trying to shift up and down. I would like to see you keep up when you have to do what this cop was doing.

[@adampeters601]

+swansea007791 especially down our way pal ;)

[@adampeters601]

+A Small Acorn i can assure you now he is not in a scooby! i can assure you he is in a 1.7ctdi astra.. and yea i understand that there on coms ect but i put money on it the one reporting isnt the driver its his partner.. so its irrelevant pal, and you never know this civic could have been modded with a k pro, remap, manifold ect.. ;)

[@SomeRandomEnglishGuy]

He'd be alright up here in Stafford. Here we have Focuses and Vauxhall Astras. Keep in mind that non of these are SRIs, VXRs, STs and RSs. Shit slow 1.8s

[@russlerjones3278]

ive seen some of the police focus's in there yard and they looked like base spec, but were ST's with standard bumpers and wheels, some catch you out.

[@SChapps]

Wouldn't it be more effective to just shows off that they're STs? If criminals knew they were quick, they might not even try to outrun them in the first place

[@Courtathor]

I think it's more down to cost as it's much cheaper to replace tyres and body parts from bog standard models than the performance variants.

[@MultiVeeta]

It's not like a Civic Type-R is a super car, motorbike or anything with some serious acceleration, 1.8 with a good driver can keep up with a chav who thinks he's a good driver in type-r down street roads no problem. The Police drive with care of other road users and try and keep within the correct lane at junctions, also they don't keep so close to not panic the driver into creating a catastrophe, that is the only reason they're not up their ass.

[@traciewinn8919]

Bet the traffic officers have performance vehicles, they are the only officers allowed to be involved in a persuit

[@arthurweasley8885]

I know a guy who drives the same model in the same colour. When i see him the next time, i ask him ,,What the fuck are you doing there?" 😂😂😂😂

[@itsraakah8579]

Probs to this police officer. His driving skills are awesome

[@fkasqar8484]

This guy could have gotten away so many times but he fucks up, I mean what was that fuckery at the beginning he was gone and came back the fucking turnip.

[@TheCommanderNZ]

He would never have got away, they had a chopper deployed.

[@fkasqar8484]

How do you know that?

[@Big-Alieu]

Helos are to expensive to operate on chases

[@GymmyRhys]

@Dieplop3 - why does everyone on the internet say 'to' instead of 'too'...

[@sandoumir4348]

Their to stupid too no the difference. They're caps locked opinons are more important then speling correctlyish.

[@subaruwrxsti300]

3:04 : GTA mode ACTIVATED!

[@benmorgan8038]

Type R left that cop car in the twisties 😂

[@my_dixie_rect8538]

Got to have respect for the police, being able to drive safely and at speed, whilst navigating to other officers over the radio. Very impressive!

[@scally881]

Sick driver in that type r mate

[@everettsemergencyvids4786]

Ahhhh the Vectra V6 Turbo, I used to love seeing them flying around the city centre on jobs.

[@stiggyness1976]

And yet the civic is a 2litre NA vtec, if it had been turbo or supercharged which the honda engines love, the guy would of been gone.

[@robbieshaft]

@@stiggyness1976 there’s always ifs and buts, what If the vectra was tuned also

[@pcdsutton]

Fantastic. Considering the police driver has to slow for hazards.... The video doesn't do it justice. Well done that advanced driver. Firstclass. 👏

[@rimmerd9908]

Super good quality driver!... The SAS of the British police pursuit drivers... Well done!

[@Don-Coyote-De-Transylvania]

So good he lost it.

[@robertwrites925]

That Type R can turn some corners

[@raljix1566]

4 people in the Civic Type R and it still is nimble as fuck. And still leaving the cop car behind. Amazing car. That's like a 500-600lbs increase

they use ceramic brake discs in these models...

I'll be knocking on your door with a crowbar to collect enough to pay for my insurance premiums.

[@inferior650riderhd6]

5:22 was that a football 🤣🤣🤣

[@2Truth2you]

This should be illegal. It is very dangerous. The police should know better than to risk people's lives just for a car chase.

[@highrpm85]

true as soon as they would get the licenseplate they could stop the chase. in this areas so much can happend. imagine a schoolclass passing the road....

[@leeky1988]

+Billy Nordqvist stolen car. Registration wouldn't catch the criminal that stole it, just the owner.

[@UnholyGaming2012]

Why do you think they keep such a distance?

[@peterlukats937]

+UnholyGaming2012 A couple of reasons - 1. Stopping distance increased at high speeds - 2. If the the crook brakes late for a corner then takes the corner, the cop car is likely to go past said corner.

[@dehv]

don't talk daft

[@louisvallely9209]

Plot twist, it was his civic lmao

[@Chris-mn7yy]

Them speeds were insane in that area, far too dangerous. Not worth risking lives.

[@MrWardy369]

When youre in a civic type r and you cant shake a vectra

[@TheJaku.]

it was his choice of path to take to escape that failed him not the car. im sure there were simpler routs that could have done him way more justice

[@MrWardy369]

i must admit it did well to keep up, i bet it has nearly a ton on that civic

[@TheJaku.]

MrWardy369 they are twin turbo with a light tune so it was not to much in theory

[@MrWardy369]

theyre n/a v6?

[@TheJaku.]

MrWardy369 what a police issue vauxhall vectra / t5 volvo and / insignia no. they are all twin turbo diesel engines slightly tuned to maintain distance driving and pursuit driving. that what all the feds that have ever pulled me have said.

[@ashahmed9774]

Wow what a dream it would be. To grow old and show the grandkids this video of yourself getting chased

[@fillipo1972]

Dude, chances are the grand kids would end up in jail with that kind of role model

[@enterrowley]

All i could think the whole time was GO ON MY SON YOURE NEARLY AWAY LAD!!😂😂😂

[@dono16081973]

Disgraceful driving by both involved parties, 80+ on suburban roads, 60+ on side streets, just pure madness, any normal driver would have lost their licence and probably served time for this sort of driving, but because these are police they can get away with it, the chase should have been called off due to the high level of public risk involved, just pure madness on behalf of the police drivers

[@IdrisShenaee]

Real civic driver police can't cope with civic at all I miss my Type R. Love it!

[@robbieshaft]

Of course they can, and they did in this case

[@leeeeeeeeeee012]

Such a lame police car, losing to random Vtec

That k20 engine would take a caining all day long.

[@chrisg4rr377]

don't think it would last much longer, the brakes would be fucked judging by the amount of smoke pouring off them

[@A4ANT]

+james dickrub they need to be warmed up 2st before a caning. and oil checked regularly.

[@dannyjohnson5872]

I know all 4 of this bunch..3 passengers were there for kicks, however driver is well known for his skills behind the wheel. he has outrun the POPO on multiple occasions. He sometimes just does it for fun. Around this time he was stealing the cars too order to then send them abroad. Everything I say here is true, the driver is now a accountant and has previously owned a silver Honda Civic Type R EP3. Far better than the one he trashed. He also has owned multiple Japanese imports and damn he knows how to drive them. Respect fam, fuck the haters and take a bow sir. Remember leave your keys down stairs, they don't like waking up you up with a boiled kettle.

if you cant hear the sirens and step into the road then you dumb

[@thatwolffe3802]

***** the majority of deaf people wondering around outside without other people around them is pretty low, and thats what the flashing lights are for, not to mention police have to go through strict driver training.

[@thatwolffe3802]

***** its around dinner time and if the police dont then who stops the bad people that could do much worse to the little ones?

[@thatwolffe3802]

***** tell that to the guys that stole my brother's car, when they got it back it had obviously be thrashed and there was marks all over the car from where they didnt care about hitting stuff. most car theivs steal a car to take whats in the car and desirable parts and then abandon the car, they dont care if they damage the car in the process, therefore are far more dangerous

[@pgtmr2713]

That's what car insurance is for.

[@TAVIII]

about the only police car in the uk that can travel that speed

[@easttennstudent]

I pity you UK folk with your narrow roads! On top of that, I am constantly gritting my teeth because my mind is completely confused about tactics used to outrun police on the left side of the road. I keep thinking to myself "OMG he is passing on the right?!?!" LOL. Greetings from Tennessee!!!

[@mobilephone4512]

Most people around the world are right handed that means your strongest hand is the right.. with cars on left side of road the driver is on the right which means right strongest hand is on wheel at all times while left hand, the weaker hand is just used for changing gears and having two hands on the wheel. So I pity Americans having to use their left hand as the main hand on the wheel.. and american football which doesn't use much feet, and hamburgers which has no ham in it... saying erbs, not herbs.. paying for overpriced health care for life or death sutuations or just even giving birth. America is such a dumb place in so many ways so save your pity friend..

[@jaydee8125]

A PURE MASTERCLASS OF SEE YA LATER BITCHES... BYE.. 💙😂

[@pet21432]

those cops was almost as dangerous as the civic, as soon as the cops saw how the civic was driving they should of backed off.

[@grapewater123]

The Police driver did really well to somewhat keep up, especially if he was in a large Vauxhall. The Honda will handle accelerate and brake far superior to the heavier Police car. The Police also have other things to consider that will slow him down a bit, like directions and public safety. The bad guy should have known or had a plan where he was going and ditched the car far sooner. The longer the car chase is on, the more Police get involved, the more offences you're likely to rack up and the more chance of getting caught or killing someone.

[@andrewdeighton5926]

nice of them to show the location of a person assisting them, some people might not like that on a council estate

[@Utahsaint]

thieving little gits. 70 mph through the estate, no regards for kids or people. I hope they enjoyed a bumpy ride in the back of a van.

[@liamcosgrave5410]

They where not from that estate anyway . The Driver was from Longsight

[@Down-x4u]

Andrew Deighton we know that grass very well thanks

[@Thaitanium73]

They found child abuse videos and images on the drivers computer when they searched his home.

[@johncassidy8883]

Left right right left right left left left lol gone never seen again 🤔😂😂😂

[@vistron888]

You'll get into trouble with cops for going over the limit and yet doing over 80mph on those back roads is outrageously dangerous. He's pushing some guy in a stolen car who just wants to stay out of jail and he will do whatever it takes regardless of the risk to life. That looked like a situation where the cop was just so fixated in getting this guy that he was going to stop at nothing. I understand his frustration but better to call the chase off at those speeds. The cop car will also have ended up damaged. All paid by the tax payer.

[@numbereightyseven]

Yup, the whole criminal justice system should become "user pays", just like everything else.

[@manc7808]

I used to have an EP3 Type R exactly the same as that, Mine was a 2003 plate though.... Sold it about 8 years ago. I miss that car is was very quick with a brilliant chassis. I know round that area aswell, Im in Manchester.... Not many cars will stick with a Type R on round there.

[@myles2004myles]

The speed these vehicles were travelling down a back street was disgraceful. If a child stepped out they would have died instantly. WHY IN GOD'S NAME DID THE SIM AT POLICE HQ ALLOW THIS CHASE TO CONTINUE. THIS COP NEEDS TO BE PROSECUTED FOR DANGEROUS DRIVING AT THE VERY LEAST.

[@Lix198606]

I was also shocked at some the of the speeds. Almost 100mph at the start on a residential road!!

[@Lix198606]

Dont call people names on the internet. Grow up and spare people your nasty attitude.

[@ImAyzh13]

And that, is what sirens are for :)

[@JayHowi]

LOL

[@graemeaburton]

The cop does not need to be prosecuted at all. If the pricks in the Civic had not stolen it and forced a chase then it would not have happened, simple as.

Not sure who was the biggest danger to the public here ...85 mph in a 30 ? and that was the police

[@-BuddyGuy]

Shut up and enjoy the professionals doing something you can't

[@SadisticStang]

You mean get lucky that he was just in visual contact for most of the time and that the driver didn't actually make it all that difficult for him?

[@sukhmaidickoff]

Yeah, let´s just let people steal cars and don´t give a shit about it. There was no danger here and the Police officers knew what they did.

[@sukhmaidickoff]

***** I just don´t agree. Sorry. I don´t see how they are risking many peoples lives here. People can hear the siren of the police car miles away and the Police is not taking any chances. You can´t hunt them down at safe speeds if you lose sight of them.

[@richardflood3058]

The police had his sirens on though, if you hear sirens you don't go on the road simple as

[@thirdpigeon2676]

I like at 2:45 he indicates to throw them off 😂

[@ryderm3907]

That cop doin 90mph on them streets 🤦🏻‍♂️😂😂

[@jasonbourne3268]

Shystie driver! The way he was gaining speed after corneres was madddd!!!

[@dendenthemenmen]

Can I just say that that was absolutely gripping, hope they got him! As anyone knows it is a crime in itself to drive a Honda Civic Type R!

[@samlawts1193]

they might as well pull over all Honda type r drivers cos they are guaranteed criminals aha

[@CallumWZombies]

good job i'm gonna get a Honda civic type S

[@samlawts1193]

Callum W that's the safer option

[@ohadams8008]

I have decided to buy a Civic Type F.

[@xTrue2Lifex]

dendenthemenmen there so shit lol true

[@iTzCorey]

So many nice people pointing out directions surprisingly

[@debroski2]

in all honesty the police car should have fallen back when the driver was going at those types of speed in a residential area, i think he met have gotten red vision. good driver but very dangerous, they had the plate number so why risk it.

[@michaelkennedy8573]

What good is the plate if the vehicle is stolen?

[@user23724]

Definitely 87mph in a residential area is not worth it for a stolen car.

[@user23724]

Plate is good enough if they don't swap it, ANPR cameras can pick it up. If they do swap the plates, police in the area can just keep looking for the car based on it's description.

[@michaelkennedy8573]

Then you'd hide the car in a safe location, strip the car and sell the parts and the thieves never identified

[@debroski2]

at the end of the day the officer driving in my opinion had what they term as red mist, he was determined to catch the car no matter what when really once speeds exceeded 60 he should have pulled back to stop himself and the driver of the stolen car causing an accident.

[@Soulkollextor]

Jeez if only the honda got away. maybe next time when you respawn out of jail

police driving like that in built up area! this is how that little boy and his aunt got killed in penge.

[@eddiedownard7689]

Not the police that hit them but the scummy car thief. Bet if it was your pride and joy you would want the police to capture those responsible

[@75IFFY]

Nope, id take the insurance

[@80wall]

I wouldn't give a shit about my car being stolen if it meant the police didn't chase the thief at silly speeds right next to a kids park.

[@epender]

The police are here to protect us and our property, it's either they let him drive around like a maniac for ever in somebody's stolen car or the try and stop it and use very loud and bright warning sirens and lights.

[@samsara3694]

No wish to have a dig at guys doing their job, but speeds approaching nearly 100 mph in an urban area is highly questionable.

[@kjbhonda2645]

She's only a sport as he got caught 🤣

[@dewaltdoug8866]

Don't think 80+ mph in 30 is justifiable.

[@drubert1]

my thoughts too, imagine a kid running out, all for what a stole bit of metal and plastic. It shouldn't be aloud

[@dewaltdoug8866]

Ironically they use one hand too to opperate there com's...we would be fined and points added. Some cop cars do have hands free or touch com on wheel but it still one rule for them,

[@stumo8681]

+DeWalt Doug you can use a 2 way radio, law only applies to mobile phones, the law was made that way so they can use radios,

[@haunter4708]

Pretty sure the passenger is doing all the coms in these situations.

[@numbereightyseven]

You'd be the first to complain if they didn't get YOUR stolen property back, car or otherwise. Hypocritical narrow-minded entitled whinger.

[@hannafi786]

I was once in a cop chase in Birmingham. 3 people on board. when I knew the copper was on to me, I dropped a passenger and drove off, the copper slowed down but my mate ran away giving me about 10 15 seconds headstart. The copper had no chance. Next time if you have passengers drop them off and that way the car is lighter and the cops will get confused as to why he got dropped off giving you enough time to dissappear...

[@allothernamesbutthis]

the police driver should be reprimanded too. 88 in a 30, 50 over speed humps, not stopping at crossways, he is a danger to the public.

[@Fullersh1t]

You're an idiot, he has his lights on and slowed down considerably to allow other traffic to slow.

[@allothernamesbutthis]

So you agree with police driving at 88 in residential areas over a car probably worth 5k? How much damage was done to police car hitting speed humps at 50?

[@Fullersh1t]

firstly they are trained professionals. That Honda needed stopping, the value of car has nothing to do with it. if police never pursued cars it would be a free for all. if it was 15.15 I'd admit it was reckless, but public were not at risk. And I doubt much damage those speed humps are those shitty ones that are too narrow and can be missed mostly.

[@MC-my1vc]

These so-called "professionals" still make mistakes, as have race drivers who've been around a circuit hundreds of times. At over 40 metres per second, even if you have sirens and lights on, it's not going to prevent a collision and then you have to think about people being distracted as they're listening to the radio, using handsfree devices, or perhaps they've got problems with their eyesight and/ or hearing...

[@Down-x4u]

allothernamesbutthis that same copper banged up to new test car's

[@jhkbbvjbjnknkknknoig1238]

The cop following him did amazing

[@erikwenn3505]

i love the police

[@numbereightyseven]

So does most of society - at least in the very few countries where the police are safe to approach.

[@Slankysausage]

He burnt the shit out of the clutch lol

[@abdullahsekai4279]

Nope, that was brake smoke.

[@jacobsavage6555]

+Josh Winn brake smoke doesn't make sense, you mean tyre smoke

[@TheOrangep7]

Jesus you don't realise how much stick these cop cars take,flying over speed humps over kerbs being thrapped foot to the floor. I nearly brought a ex police car once after watching this I'm glad I didn't.

[@aaronditchfield781]

they get full service including new parts every week? there one of the best types of cars to buy if you want it to last there well looked after

[@Lix198606]

what new parts do they get each week? they are still hammered and if you buy one the engine and gearbox will unlikely be anywhere near new. Not a good purchase

[@aaronditchfield781]

what ever part is damaged is new if the engine is shagged or under performing its a new one if the paints scuffed its new if the donut holders broke its a new one. your paying for this btw as if you didn't know

[@Lix198606]

So why does that make them the best car to buy?

[@dandanthesaxoman]

You don't buy one that's obviously been a pursuit car, you try and get one that's been used in the higher ranks like a surveillance one or one that's just been used to transport officers I have an octavia vrs that was undercover, black with black tints it was about 1500 quid cheaper than it should be and it's a lot cleaner than examples 1500 quid above that price also it has the full police service history which is a nice read

[@YodaOnDMT]

Pretty slick driving there. Well done Honda even though you ruined the entire Type R range.
