It's funny how calm and polite the officer is being during the whole pursuit.

[@thefiestaguy8831]

It's not a pursuit. He hasn't signalled for him to stop. It's not likely to be deemed a "pre-planned pursuit" either yet as there is no real belief by the officer that the vehicle is likely to fail to stop, like it would if it was "stolen" or the male inside was known to be wanted. This is called a "follow" in police terms. You are behind a vehicle which you have an interest in, you have not indicated for the vehicle to stop yet, and typically they are unaware of your presence.

I am a retired road patrol officer from Scotland. It is not that we are chilled nor do we have a death wish.

150mph and the copper is driving one handed whilst using radio, despite having hands free radio in the car. It’s a joke to argue it’s ok because he’s trained.

[@TheCleanersCupboard]

Usually the Mainset in the car will be pan-division and his personal radio will be on a local channel. Hence, rightly or wrongly he’s using his PR to ask local officers for help on the hurry up. If he has to jump out in a hurry or a foot chase ensues the pan-division channel would probably be useless because the closest units will most likely be on the local channel. In my experience police vehicles never had two radio sets. The mainset was only ever a pan-divisional set and you had to use your PR if you wanted help quickly. Incidentally there is a legal exemption for using a two way radio whilst driving.

[@JC-qs4vi]

They use the blue lights on the back of the car

[@Dark_Nemesis4300]

We have the benefit of intense and significant driver training to do that. We are looking at what others are doing, what they may potentially do, and driving accordingly. The person in front does none of this. The key to safe driving at speed is observing what others MIGHT do, and driving in anticipation of that worst case scenario. Any idiot can drive fast, but to do so safely takes a lot of skill, training, refresher training and experience.

[@thefiestaguy8831]

No. Firstly the use of blue lights and a siren sometimes causes reactions from other drivers you DON'T want. I've had people pull into oncoming traffic to get out of the way of the car i'm in on a blue light run, and someone who slammed on the brakes when she saw us behind on a blue light run. Hardly desired reactions, but something you have to be prepared for. Secondly they are taught very well, this guy is likely an advanced driver so essentially the "best of the best" in terms of training, there is no "higher" driver training course than an advanced driving course. They are taught to plan and prepare so far ahead that they rarely have to brake, typically they'll just let off the accelerator, slow for the hazard, and floor it again. Most of the braking is done for sharp right angle corners, try doing a 90 degree left/right turn at 80-90mph and you'll end up in a tree/hedge/lampost etc.
