The media in the UK have a recurrent preoccupation with police vehicle pursuits, automatically assuming that the police are entirely to blame for any bad things that happen during them.
I thought that this programme was a bit more balanced than some others. From a police helicopter perspective, the value of helicopters was certainly clearly illustrated.

I think high speed car pursuits - nationally could be a thing of the past. 146 dead in 6 years..
We have reduced car chases over the last 10 years to a mere trickle here. Shame really from a twisted point of view, I love 'em!!!
Oh, well back to Vascar

I was rather amused as to how long the narrator said the helicopter took to catch up to the car being chased. That's what you get I suppose when you buy a transit van for a Police helicopter.
TC about that total number of police chase deaths .... 146 in six years ...I take it that there is no truth in the assertion that those chaps north of you used their personal score as their registration .... XMII .... or are they counting even further back????

There may be land North of the River Dee or even the Mersey, civilisation is another matter.
Especially as they have now killed "Brooky" off completely!!!
Reminisced about flying parallel to that main road in Shotton as the Police heli did in the program. Not after a speeding youf though!!!
