Ever try chasing down a drunk or a speeder on a busy highway, at night, on an icy road, or rain slicked highway, in order to get the defendant before he or she kills an innocent civilian?

Please explain how having TWO cars speeding down an icy or rain-slicked road at night, instead of just one, is safer for the public.

Because if the speeder or drunk isn’t apprehended he might kill you, your kid or your wife. The officer undergoes comprehensive training to operate a vehicle under all types of circumstances.

Well, one of them has flashing lights and is making a lot of noise.

If it's just the quiet one, you might never see it coming.
