Running from police is dangerous, but doing it on a motorcycle is even riskier, especially when you have a passenger on the back. At least in this dashcam footage of a chase from Viriginia State Police both riders were wearing helmets, but that still doesn’t make the decision to run any smarter.

Fake French car dealer scams American man for $5.4 million.

Adding to the stupidity of the situation, the trooper can easily read the license plate on the motorcycle (ironically it’s “2FAST4U”). Unless it were stolen (which it wasn’t) authorities know exactly who’s riding it. Why this guy thought he could take off and not face consequences if he “got away” is beyond us.

But wait, there are even more bad decisions in this chase. The guy holding the handlebars makes a lot of risky choices, not only lane splitting but also swerving in front of drivers who clearly don’t see the bike. Talk about trusting in the skills of everyday people behind the wheel.

As the chase progresses, other VSP units in the area jump in to help. That’s the thing with running from police, they usually help each other and they have radios to coordinate. For all you know, there’s a trap down the road or some sort of trick they’re about to pull to bring you to a halt.

Still, the little motorcycle does have an advantage when the chase comes upon thicker traffic on Virginia Beach surface streets. He really pushes it, blowing red lights and yet again trusting his skills and the watchful eyes of drivers to not become street pizza.

Despite all these tricks and risks, the guy can’t shake VSP as troopers close the once widening gap. Running from cops was a bad idea, but it’s even worse to keep at it when you clearly can’t get away.

But the guy just keeps going, slipping out of an attempt to box him in. But that puts the rider in a neighborhood he clearly doesn’t know and he turns onto a dead end street in one last genius move.

Had he just pulled over and taken the ticket for reckless riding he would’ve been dealing with just that. Now he gets harsher penalties all because the guy thought running from troopers was a smart idea.

  1. […] Usually, these no-chase policies are the result of a bad crash during a police pursuit. While those are unfortunate, there are ways to prevent them. One is to invest more into training police officers on proper pursuit techniques. Another is to discipline officers for violating pursuit policies. […]
