Default Police "may" have been driving a bit fast

Sorry to all those who think I start too many threads lol

Just thought this was worthy of a look.

YouTube - Armed Response Vehicle Crash In Brixton, London

Utter devastation of the police car.

Messy innit!
CO19 too. Imagine, its the middle of Brixton, a 5 series with 3 armed cops in crashes, and they are all out cold.

How quickly could those guns be nicked and sold! lol

Its inevitable that emergency vehicles crash as they respond to incidents. Add speed to heavy traffic and other drivers....Lets hope the lock on the gn safe takes a while to pick

Evidence markers for photographic use.

S70, totally mate, not having a pop at them for the crash,just a pretty nasty one.

As for the guns, they carry standard issue 9mm autos on their leg/hip so they would be the at risk guns

That's good going to crash into a lamp post and then end up underneath it.

Cabinet contains the H&K MP5, Tazer, baton rounds etc. The yellow circle on the screens is an indication that the car is an ARV, as oposed to a traffic car. The car has held together pretty well when you consider its flattened a lamp post and come to rest with another embedded into it....

Other Marques had a post a month ago with an M5 wrapped around a lamp post.

Did BMW intentionally fit powerful lamppost-magnets to their vehicles, or did Mercedes plant a staff member in BM's production line?

Unforgiveable to drive that fast and risk innocent peoples' lives even if it is a callout.

Les, when I got stopped by Hampshire for speeding and was taking a seat in the traffic car, they all have a slogan on the dash saying "no call is worth a life"
Could not agree more.

I guess they are only trying to do their job, but at times you do see a car pass and think woah steady!
