hunter42 Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 I loved that episode, i love top gear!! It took me a while to understand the comments between Hammonds police jeep and coming from San Fransico It was a good episode, but I prefered it when the Constable Stig pursued them around the track in the white van man challenge. And Hammond tried a Scandinavian flick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xplorer4x4 Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 A tiller has the same benefit as a strait stick truck, in that they don't have the basket to block their patch with a direct entry into a building say through a window or balcony, with a basket you would first have to be raised up in the basket and then climb over the edge of the basket and into the entry point which is very dangerous I might add, and the advantage of a tiller over a strait stick is that they can maneuver better in city streets because the wheels on the tiller can be turned to provide easier handling.In fact if you watch this video you can see this in action:This video is of the Raleigh Fire Department's Station 1, at the station are Engine 1, Engine 13, and Ladder 4 *Formerly Ladder 1*, which had a crash in June taking a corner too fast and flipped.I was aware of the details but none the less, I didnt realize the basket was sealed so it seems like it would be easier(in the case it wasnt sealed) to be able to step onto a platform rather then a thin ladder but i can see what you mean now. As for the tiller, I knew the turning radius was better then a tower but couldnt quite see it in my head so that video was quite interesting. Furthermore the video was amazing at that. The fasted uk police car:I think it can reach 155mphstill doesn't beat your helicopter 155 seems a bit slow for something like that. I thought most super cars could hit speeds closer to 200mph.

njboy13 Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 very fast Lollol, in my town, you get assigned that if you do something wrong, or get on the chief's bad side. He assigns you to the tricycle-segway thing. (I believe mainly for embarrassment) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mrpolice1996 Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 155 seems a bit slow for something like that. I thought most super cars could hit speeds closer to 200mph.I thought that, but it's correct This one can reach 200 mph, owned by london police, as a demonstration car though. - i think it's a bit of a waste having it but not using it!

hunter42 Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 I'm pretty sure I head/read/saw somewhere that the Italian police Lamborghini is also used to transport organs quickly... Might've been transport medical equipment... Don't quite remember, but something to do with medicine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomperson139 Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 People who don't want to get fined!I know..... I was joking Transporting organs would be sensible. The organs need to the destination really quickly. A lamborghini would certainly get it there quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunter42 Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Yay, found itHowever, the car is just as likely to be used for emergency deliveries such as human organs for transplant.This is more interesting though.Other traffic police forces which cannot boast a Lamborghini resort to devices of their own against speeders: in Russia, for example, officers have been known to shoot out the tyres of offenders with machine-guns.Is the Lotus the closest thing we have to a supercar police vehicle that's used?

swano Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 A Police Superbike, and its used This is a Honda CBR 1000. It is used by Durham Constabulary to promote safer biking, but is also used on active duty, usually alongside a more traditional police motorbike. This rear view shows the flashing blue led mounted under the exhaust and the 'police' plate mounted from behind the registration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree its a waste. We have a DARE Mustang here thats a show car only, but we also have a few state police in the area using unmarked mustangs.I'm pretty sure I head/read/saw somewhere that the Italian police Lamborghini is also used to transport organs quickly... Might've been transport medical equipment... Don't quite remember, but something to do with medicine. I doubt itd be equipment. Theres not much space for equipment if im not mistaken.
