-ineffective in some cases. My parents business has been broken into a couple of times which resulted in the police chasing the vehicle. No crash and criminals were caught -people drive dangerously regardless -More crashes occur when police are not involved -your last point brings be back to...

key words - peak hour traffic Have you ever seen a jam at peak hour where cars are 3 seconds apart? I'm not shifting the discussion, I tried to make an example of a situation where panic is present, its not my fault that P platers panic

You are an individual that seems to have common sense and a good sense of responsibility when driving. Its a shame there are not more P platers like you. But as I said, your an individual and we cant think that other P plate drivers are like this.

Peopel die on the roads everyday due to others terrible driving. People are just making a big deal about this becuase the police where involved, there were no suvivors and they need someone to blame.

Who said anything about serial killers? I have seen P Platers do stupid things due to panic after seeing police. I drive on the F3 everyday. Try being behind a P plater in peak hour traffic and they see a copper ahead who has already pulled someone over and watch them slam their brakes on to...

But as I said, can you only assume that they are stealing just a car?

As I said, isent this the same scenario as the guy who stole the car. He steals a car, cops try and pull him over and he panics so he runs. Its natural for people to panic when they see the cops, some people (like P platers) do stupid stuff that put other road users at risk. Thus, why not remove...

Look as Ive said I agree they should bring in other methods of tracking criminals, but the point of my initial post in this thread was in reponse to the thread title - exclusivly blaming police. For fucks sake, why dont we just take cops off the roads altogether and see what happens. I see...

How do you know they are not going to drive at high speeds regardless of whether police are chasing them. They are criminals with criminal minds. I'd rather know they are being looked for and tracked by police, than knowing police are not going to do anything about it, and my children get...

No, they are contingency scenarios. Sometime syou have to think "what if" in life.

And what if something of value like another life was in that car. I get what you are saying about the rules in which police pursuit cars should be changed, but that would lead to banning car chases all together. Some car chases have to occur. You cant just assume the criminal is stealing a car...

No, I dont know about the hoon law. All I know is that they still proceed to do it. I dont see why people here are projecting personal attacks. I'm just saying what I think. I dont see how car theft is menial, it carries a gaol sentence. What would you do if someone stole your car?

In live in Newcastle on a main road. Traffic never stops.

Not as much as the deal people have made about this

Does it matter? Most car thefts happen at night as well.

When the cops have their guns out opening fire on the car they are chasing, with innocent people around, then I'll listen to you. What about the hoons racing their cars in the streets. Does anyone make a big deal when they kill innocent bypasses? No! Becuase they are not cops. I think society...

Well of course you dont. If you had a kid in a car, and someone stole that car. Would you think it is wrong forthe cops to chase after them?

Please explain. The guy was a repeat offender who ended up in hospital in a coma the first time he did it. An accident was foreseeable to him, yet he still did it. The people that seem so against the cops doing their job are those who are young and naive and are criminals themselves and...

I disagree. As I mentioned, I did a Commerce degree and all it did me was good. Not only did a gain a wealth of knowledge in my major, but I also know much about and work in other fields of business. I did practical work as well as theory which allowed me grasp the concepts from both angles...

To those who are saying the police are to blame, please get real. If you had a kid or something that was in a car and it got stolen, what would you expect the police to do? The dude who stole the car was a criminal. He had stolen a car previously and ended up in a coma becuase of it. Ge was...
