If the trend of locking threads based on the lack of empirical evidence continues then God help the Christianity forum.

cocoshovel · 22-08-2011 09:06PM

Id put the blame more on the scumbags who were fleeing at such speeds. Shame the gardai didn't get a few hits on them with their guns.

jacool · 22-08-2011 09:17PM

If an Gardai had been quicker than the people accusing the OP here, we could have avoided this entire thread!

Not surprised tbh, a garda car sped out in front of me and my uncle out of nowhere 2 years ago.
The planks didn't even have their sirens or lights on and were going more than twice the speed limit i'd say.
But still the story kind of sounds like rubbish imo, guards having guns and even shooting them into a car?

Ah but you forget - each forum gets to chose its own definition of 'empirical' evidence

Aaaaaaaah :pac:. It did sound pretty unrealistic in fairness

A guard pointed a gun at me while I was driving once

In fairness it was a speed gun but he made me spill my pint......totally ruined my ****

Solnskaya · 22-08-2011 11:02PM

I was driving down(up?) from the north a while back on the M1, following a Jaguar at a little(ahem)over the speed limit. The jag suddenly swerved left onto the hard shoulder, and for some reason, I did the same(no real idea why, it just looked fun). About 1.5 milliseconds later a subaru closely followed by two cop cars came head on in the lane I had been in, lashing up the wrong way on the motorway. If I had not followed the jag, I'd be toast. I think there should be much stricter rules for crooks trying to escape capture, these guys just do what they like. Wrong way up the motorway ffs. Whats next? Pointing guns at people and stealing their money? It's rediculous Joe.

You go skillz, dog.:cool: ...or just lots of luck.

I think there should be stricter rules for gob****e driving the wrong way up a motorway. Replace the EC135 with something more, decisive?

Really though, the guy in the Jag in front probably saw the blue lights and heard the sirens, so it appears the Gardai made the right move in following him.

err, no. me and the jag were going the right way, minding our own business. The cops were chasing some scumbags the wrong way up the motorway. At about 200kph. Head on towards us. Had their blue lights on though, so no foul there:D

kirving · 22-08-2011 11:54PM

Sorry, they were right to follow the other car. If they weren't there, the car probably would have kept on going anyway, and would have been harder to spot till it was too late.

You shouldn't have been on the hard shoulder, the Guards should!

If I swerve to avoid a cop car which is involved in a chase, and assuming that the cop car would've hit me had I not avoided it, and I go into a ditch/hit a wall etc..

Who is responsible for the damage to my car?

I always wondered that.. like would I run (edit: run very quickly) after the cop car and insist on getting their insurance details or do you just call up the Ombusman and put in a claim?

You should stop without swerving, the other driver could swerve in the same direction as you.

Local-womanizer · 23-08-2011 01:34AM

I once was hit by a cop car head on but it had it's lights and sirens on so I was ok :rolleyes:

Seriously, having the sirens on probably wouldn't make much difference, people always react late to them anyway. Good job by the gardai too, tis about time they take no crap from scumbag gang members.

syklops · 23-08-2011 01:39AM

Theres some people who posted in the first couple of pages of this who feel pretty foolish now.

Hehehehehe

Anyway was driving back from Naas tesco towards Ballymore Eustace when a garda car speeding along the wrong side of the road rammed a car into a ditch 2 meters away from us. To avoid them we had to drive into the ditch on the other side of the road. Anyway the 2 garda in the car got out of their car and began shooting into the car they just ran off the road.. it was mad i couldn't believe my eyes. The car they were chasing just drove off towards naas. It was madness the garda car didn't even have their emergancy lights on we nearly ploughed into them.
because of this.

Im very annoyed right now as if we had have seen the garda car even 1 second later we surely would have been dead right now. Don't these guards have to flash there lights when they're driving like lunatics? Madness

lol

dublin eh..

or just stick to the speed limit

Did they have their hats on, cos it's a well known fact they can't shoot you unless they are wearing their hats ::D

yeah, speed limit was 120kph, so It would all have been fine if we'd head-on'ed them at that speed.:rolleyes: watcher on about??? BTw, for the pedants, we were doing about 130 kph, on the motorway- the cops were chasing a mitsubishi the wrong way up the motorway, towards us. feckin lethal. Not the first time either, I was driving back home with my kids in the car when a golf rounded a bend in front of us at about 100mph, hit a huge tree and spun into the air, sailing clear OVER the bonnet of my car-I was looking up at the wheels as it passed over us and plunged down the bank beside us. Cop car was in hot pursuit and pulled up, the scummers in the golf got out, UNINJURED (do they have super powers???) and legged it off across the fields. Garda told me they had been chasing them for 10 miles, unable to keep up. I stopped shaking after an hour or two though. I had my youngest lad in the car seat beside me, and if the golf had landed on us instead of clearing us, we'd be toast. Scummers got away as well, apparently they had robbed a bookies earlier.

You, as it was your own actions that caused to you hit the ditch/wall. If you didnt swerve, and they hit you, then it is on them.
