Wow - apparently *none* of the #Gardaí are #pursuit trained to same standards as officers in GB / NI (or other European countries).
How even can a country operate like that?
Folk will be constantly at the mercy of reckless drivers or outright criminals / sociopaths. I have also seen quite a few Irish tooters over the years pointing this out
Sorting this out won't be an easy task - #roads in GB were quite lawless until things got cleaned up starting around late 1990s,. #CarCulture is strong, stubborn and resilient, and older #motorists still resent limitations of their "freedom" and many vote for parties such as Reform / Restore out of spite..

Ah, okay, this is new. Pursuit merges with a pack of helmetless dirt bike riders popping wheelies. 🤔
Did the dirt bike riders see the pursuit and position themselves to get on TV?!?!

ORSINO: O, when mine eyes did see Olivia first,
Methought she purged the air of pestilence.
That instant was I turned into a hart,
And my desires, like fell and cruel hounds,
E’er since pursue me.William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Twelfth Night, Act 1, sc. 1, l. 20ff (1.1.20-24) (1601)More about this quote: wist.info/shakespeare-william/…

A quotation from Kerry Greenwood
When pursued by a satyr, always make sure you are caught near the softest available moss.

I was recently reading an advanced #driving book written by an actual former policeman from Northern #England - he discussed #Police #pursuit tactics (in very generic terms, full operational details are classified info!) and mentioned how they were designed to make the driver being followed feel they have no option other than to stop and give themselves up, but that does assume the driver is still thinking rationally (they had already called off the pursuit by the time he had decided to wrong-end the slip road to the 70 mph (112 km/h) highway, with predictably unpleasant results
Incidentally the Courts and criminal justice system worked really quickly here - arrest on 2026-03-01 following #RTC to Crown Court appearance and sentencing on 2026-05-01, only 2 months..

Well, looks like SoCal is somewhat normal, at least... I wasn't paying attention, apparently attempted murder in Ventura County turned into a CHP pursuit and Around SoCal Tour. #pursuit

"During the morning hours of November 10th, 2025, deputies from the Thousand Oaks Police Station responded to a report of a stolen vehicle from a sober living home located in the 1900 block of East Hillcrest Drive. The reporting party, who was also the victim, identified the suspect as" (redacted) " a resident of the sober living home.

Hmm, I guess that lady was just sick of "sober living" here in Thousand Oaks.

This video of a #Police #pursuit of armed robbers in #Manchester NW #England is from the early #1990s , not the 1980s!
For all the whining of the gammons, Britain back then was a *lot* more lawless and chaotic than today - there was at least one near miss between the suspects vehicle and a member of the public (also driving a #Rover !) , its lucky no one got hurt especially when the pursuit went down the back lanes (although things like this were common enough in some areas that folk knew to keep well clear when they heard the two tone horns)
Maybe an unusual choice of getaway vehicle, but Rovers lacked security and were easily nicked (incidentally the Police also seem to be in similar cars)
