Skidmark
When I was still on probation as a newbie cop I’m driving around in an unmarked unit with my field training officer. FTO has been talking about pros and cons of unmarked units, mostly pros.
We’re sitting at a light behind a mustang when a sports bike comes up. Mustang revs its engine a few times, biker revs his engine a few times. FTO just staring at them with the biggest grin on his face.
Light turns green and the mustang launches, the biker takes off too. FTO hits the lights and sirens, mustang immediately slams on its brakes and the biker is looking back (while still accelerating forward).
Biker looks back forward, probably thinking he’s in the clear to take off, and a car is merging into his lane. He couldn’t decelerate fast enough and ended dumping the bike, skidding a good 60 feet.
No major injures, transported to local hospital to remove gravel from his skin. Both were cited for unlawful speed, tire screeching, reckless endangerment, failure to use due care, and street racing. Story credit: Reddit / Geornp
