I think the media coverage is a load of bo***x to be honest. No idea where they get their figures from but if one bad apple is bought to light they tar the others with the same brush.

I know I will not risk my pension unless a colleague is getting the s**t kicked out of them and they put in an assistance call, then I MAY go over the 20mph circumstances taken into account.

I am also initial pursuit trained which whilst in a pursuit I can exceed the 20mph but I am constantly relaying the driving conditions to the duty manager and it his his/her decision as to whether the pursuit will continue.

As for Skippy scenario...... why did I disclose that I take offical Muppet status for that one (even had the Sgt sat next to me).
