Yes, perhaps with hindsight the best option, but as 'L SP' suggests it was the 'Red Mist' especially on the part of the (was it a?) Sigma driver side-swiping the Astra.
I suppose the bottom line was that no-one ws injured though & the assailant was arrested.
Going off on a slight tangent;
I still find it a curious use of language that he (or, for example, the Glasgow airport bombers) are probably charged 'on the suspicion of'.
Highlander1:
Scots law is the same as old judges rules no pace!
No need to tape interview just interview then get Confessions or denials signed in pocket books.
No computer generated charge sheets to hastle about just a verbal charge which is recorded in the old Pocket book.
The basic laws of Scotland are derived from Roman law.
The press misinterpret lots of things like arrest and detention there tends not to be so many arrests more common to detain. Unless there are 2 independent eye witnesses then they just get arrested go straight to court having been charged without needing to interview.
In other words you can't arrest on suspicion in Scotland.
For serious case the suspect would be held for a decision to be made for further detention time at the next avaliable court.
There is good and bad on both sides of the border. :)
It used to always be old hands that were on traffic I think because they lost the red mist bit in their youth and no longer got adrenaline rush they just got on with it and stayed with the target.
Mind you when the vehicle had been brought to a stop they were too knackered to get over the fence and chase them on foot.
Comes down to the insurance thing young men between 17 and 25 get hammered I wonder if the polis drivers under 25 are more likely to have a prange on a shout than someone whose been in the job for 25 years.
Has anyone checked this out just a thought.
Maybe they could have an old boy behind the wheel with a smooth calm relaxed manner and a young lad to do the running sitting beside them. :idea: :lol:
