Vid is from 2012. I forgot how awesome this is. Cop has it timed so perfectly to not stay on the highway and cross to intercept, he ducks through part of downtown Portland and back on the highway just in time to make the stop.

"Make the stop" is one way of putting it, I guess.

Can someone please explain what I have watched? Looks like a cop driving recklessly for no reason and then suffering the consequences. I don't care if you've got the gumballs on, do NOT drive on the wrong side of the road at speed.

Looks like the car he hit was going the wrong way down the highway - so he was justified in taking some risks rushing to stop that, in my book, because someone driving the wrong way on a busy highway tends to end in one or more deaths. If he was after a speeder or something, it wouldn't have been justified.

Ohhhhhhhh. Yea, ok. I did not see/realize there was a car going the wrong way.

It took me a second as well, because that's the right way where I come from :)

About 10 years ago, three musicians in our orchestra in Abilene were killed by a wrong-way driver on I-20 west of Dallas on their way to rehearsal. Police had been alerted and were on their way, but didn't get there in time. Very sad. This trooper did a great job.

damn that is a hell of a loss. It happens more than people realize. A friend of mine sent me this today as a "remember when this happened" and I had forgotten how close he cut it. That is one of the busier stretches of highway in all of Maine, and the driver was almost to a blind turn where someone would have gotten hurt
