Every driver is fallible it's just that luck enters the equation at most times when fallibility strikes. Imagine here that the driver of the car in front was killed by a vehicle legally on the intersection under a green light, or that the vehicle in front of the police van was a motor cycle and the rider was killed from the impact. The driver of the police vehicle would likely end up convicted of an indictable offence and going to prison or having a prison sentence but suspended. Cheers

Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone.

I was reading this thread on a computer in the lunchroom of Fantastic Furniture in Sydney.

Just got home and it works fine on my computer.

Did you like the part where the siren comes on after, just got to make sure it was working. It shows that police are also human beings and make mistakes, they probably would have been in bigger poo with their superiors than if it was joe blogs.

Lucky it was not a few seconds later.
The red car could have been slammed into the oncoming right turners.

I had a driver, (cant mention their sex as it is not politically incorrect to do so these days) but this driver was constantly slamming the brakes on in front of me , So it was hard to judge a safe distance, in frustration I overtook the said driver and looked over and the driver had the phone up on the steering wheel and was busy texting at 80 kph, so I blew my horn and gave them a few choice words, and the said driver then hid amongst other traffic at the next red light and would not make eye contact with me.
So if I ran up their behind I would probably be at fault, for let them know I was peeved, I would probably be charged for Road Rage, so these spankers and spankeretes would probably get off scott free if I ran into them.

Also same applies when a driver suddenly cuts you off by changing lanes, causing you to run into them, your really need a dash cam to prove your are the innocent victim.

I had a rusty LH Torana once,it was never going to pass rego and had only 2 weeks rego left.I was rear ended by a young female P plater that pushed me forward into the vehicle in front,that vehicle into the back of the vehicle in front and so on,all up 5 vehicles involved.My poor old Torry ended up as a SWB and I ****ed blood for two days.
