ffs 140km/h through a small town? could've killed someone. lock him up and throw away the key.

actually he drove at more than twice the speed limit, so it was likely over 100 in a 50 zone. the article says he was fleeing multiple times. it's a miracle no one was killed.

yeah nah get stuffed, what a clown. hope he loses his license for life

Imagine being so dumb you ram a cop car head on. Darwin award contender for sure.

should've just let him run out of petrol instead of risking a head on collision. tactical failure.

this is exactly why we need harsher penalties for fleeing drivers. the soft on crime approach is a joke. our police risk their lives daily and this is the thanks they get. the judge better not go easy on him.

nah he was just a menace. police did what they had to do. imagine if he kept going and took out a kid.

Reagan Shaw2026-06-25T04:26:00.000Z

bet he was on something. no sober person drives like that through town.

Sky Murphy2026-06-25T04:38:00.000Z

Good. Now do the same to the gangs running riot in Auckland.

140km in a small town... what could go wrong? clearly this guy has the IQ of a brick.
