  • This clip, which is 15 minutes long, was found on an old VHS tape. Judging by the context, I'd say it is the original version of 'Road Wars', 'Police, Camera, Action', 'Motorway Cops', etc.
    Also, check out the price of fuel at the very start of this video to give you an idea of how old this is!
    Sorry, this clip is all I have. Enjoy!

    I think because of it being such an old car they were in when lorry hit actually saved them. The weakness in the chassis crumpled in so much using the back seats as the impact energy dissipate that they probably would have not been so lucky in a modern Car and seat restraints as the 0-50mph would have occurred much quicker due to the stiffness of modern chassis, more crumple zone in old car!

That total tosser, doing a U-turn right below the sign saying not to, needless to say I bet he got off with a fine and points as usual. He should have had 5 years inside and no parole. Regards.

    Who is the anointed one who dispenses privileges to the peasant prey that supply their flesh to the huntsmen to feed the pleasures of the anointed one? Without this master and the guardians of his whimsy and desires, would any potentially worthless peasant know what to do, what to say, what to eat, who to pay, where to go, or even if he is allowed any such indulgence? Without orders from other men who own us, who profit only by our productivity, and who assign our value according to their idle concerns and insidious commissions, do we exist at all?
