Probably got a slap on the hand and don`t do it again warning by the too lenient judicial service we have in the UK.

Good job on the guys who followed her.I hope she gets justice but somehow I doubt that.

Great reaction on the part of these guys. Drop one off to help the wounded, while the other gives chase. No mercy for road criminals, hope she gets hit by the law, hard and cold like she did to that poor old man.

Cheers

Good job that she was caught. I hope she gets a bit more than just a slap on the hand.

But I am wondering about something. Unless the pursuers are cops in civilian clothing (apparently not), why was this recorded in the first place? Is this a common practice in Britain, or did this lady something bad before she hit the pedestrian?

This is a strange one. It's slapped with the logo of the company that supply the camera. It could be a viral vid. To me that is doubtful though.

It's attracting attention at various places though and this info has come up.

It occurred here:


Accident

But apparently there are no records of it happening, that means not a lot tbh but it's food for thought I guess.

there is suspect about this vid according to folks at Jalopnik. iirc no one could find any report of a HaR and they could not confirm if this vid was real. still exciting as a short film or a citizens arrest! smile

edit...I see others have found the jalopnik posts from last Friday! good job!! smile

Probably the seat-belt warning...it looked like he was going to park up the car after the old guy got hit and maybe then carried on chasing the woman after being prompted by his mate to follow her.
