Did any see on the news that police chase from St Mary's out to Mudgee
What an effort, makes those American chases look crap in comparison. Although American chases turn into a DemoDerby Aussies do it too good :

RE: chopper pulling out cos no map.
They said they cant carry every map as the chopper wouldnt take off. i assume he meant due to the weight. Havent they heard of a laptop with electronic maps?

For a couple of teenagers they had a good run.
Im suprised they made it so far without crashing in typical P-Plate style. EDIT... Here's a follow up story on it... Quote:

Police called off the initial pursuit for safety reasons, after two patrol cars pulled out with faults - one with a broken radiator, the other with a faulty siren.

Superintendent Wookey said: "With a pursuit over two hours over 200 kilometres and no injuries or damage to property, I am very proud of them [the officers]," he said.
But what did the officers do? and hahahahhaha "They can't carry every map because the helicopter wouldn't be able to take off so they only take the ones they need"... do they weight that much? And what about electronic maps and SatNav?
