High Speed Chases

On today's TRA episode we discuss law enforcement, criminality, fugitives, and even more exciting... high speed chases! What most people may not hear about this topic is that high speed chases are recognized as a huge safety problem (all excitement and sensationalism aside) as in most instances, there is harm done to non-involved vehicles, street furniture and innocent pedestrians as elusive drivers will usually violate a number of traffic laws repeatedly in their attempt to flee from pursuing police cars. In the U.S. alone chases related incidents claim 300-400 lives per year. The big questions today: why the hell do people lead the cops on these chases? Is it worth the risk? Has anyone ever gotten away? How long can someone run from the law? What would you do in this position? What would you say to someone who runs from the law? Answers to these questions and more on today's episode of The Right Angle with Dr Harry Hypotenuse.
