A message is made of it which comes to the attention of the Executive ( Chief, Dep and Acc ).

It is likely that no further action will be taken but as I understand it, in the name of accountability, all such incidents are referrred to the CPS for a decision. It may not be in the public interest to pursue this but time will tell.

Actually it is technically my second as I was in a pursuit ( when we were allowed to pursue ..... not now ) when a lad crashed his car and left the scene and his pregnant girlfriend and ran off. He went flying into a 30 zone and I went on the radio and said he was entering a 30 limit and that I was backing down. The lad lost control and crashed into a central refuge. I was temporarily suspended from driving but it was not my fault and I was exonerated. This happened just over the border of a neighbouring force so they investigated. I did it right in backing down because there was no way I was pursuing at speed from a national speed limit to a 30 zone with pedestrians ..... as it happened he lost control and crashed.

My vehicle didn't connect and was some distance behind but it was a Polac by the letter of.

He was later arrested and charged with numerous driving offences including disqualified driving, DOTAL, no insurance and no MOT.

How dare you suggest that the police are bogged down with beaurocracy and red tape Jonny.

Go stand in the corner and say ' I am correct in what I say ' 100m times.
