What I want to know is where were the police? This dork of an of duty cop followed him apparently for quite some time. Why did he not call pursuit cars in to stop this maniac before he wrote off a swag of vehicles and seriously endangered peoples lives? And you know why it is - because this knob of a cop just wanted to follow the idiot driver for as long as possible in order to fine the dick head for as much as possible - police are more interested in handing out massive traffic fines than they are in saving lives and protecting the public.

Talk about the ambulance at the bottom of the hill.

Ok, let's start a high speed chase in order to prevent endangering people's lives.....good idea.

Sending out pursuit cars is not necessarily going to end in a high speed chase. Maybe if there were police cars around with their lights and sirens going, the idiot would have pulled over. If he refused to pull over the police don't have to chase him. Don't know about you people, but I prefer prevention over punishment.

I don't know about you, but I don't think anyone doing 160 kph in traffic is going to stop for a bunch of flashing lights.

I saw a simular type of accident last year on Burwood H/way Vermont. A car had crashed into a Holden car yard owned by Penfolds Mtrs and did a fair bit of destruction to the cars they had for sale.
