Two Unmarked Black Audi A3 Police Cars
« on: September 14, 2011, 08:41:25 pm »
Hi All
Driving home on the M60 today (6:40 ish near Prestwich)
Moved over and two Black A3 flew past nose to tail with blues & twos.
Dunno if anyone else saw them but the speed and distance between them was quite impressive/dangerous.

I can assure you no driving course that the police, or other "specialist" units, do teaches them to drive a car nose to tail at high speed :wink:

Ive done those courses and they push you to drive at what ever the 530d can do! What they do after the course is up to them!

So have i, as well as few you won't have done, and they never teach two cars to drive nose to tail at high speed. The following car could not react in time to sudden changes in direction, obstacle avoidance or braking no matter who the driver is.

perhaps a more aware and alert driver? But surely adds to potentially going a little bit faster too?

Any one can drive a car fast. Just look at all the dickheads the police chase. It's being able to do so with a high degree of control and being able to regain control of the car if you start to lose it. The courses teach you to be alert to what is going on around you whilst maintaining a vehicle safely at high speed, how to spot potential hazards etc and how to react should the vehicle start to breakaway.
