For context, I've recently discovered Sgt Curtis and AR Police Activity high speed chases, and I live where Trooper Byrd is king! So, this got me wondering, if on the off chance that I am unlucky enough to be in the path of a high speed chase, where the idiot criminal is swerving in and around cars on a highway, what's my best reaction for the safety of the persuing troopers/officers? Should I stay where I am in the lane so they can go around me?
I've seen videos of high speed chases over 100 mph where the speed limit is 65. I'm very diligent on looking left, right and behind when I'm driving, but at that speed, it would only be like one second before they are behind me.
I only ask because a long time ago a police cruiser came up behind me very fast on a city street, lights and siren on. I was in the left lane and I froze. He got on the speaker and said Pull Over. I did, and I've never forgotten that. I've seen a lot of comments about Why don't people pull over? I'm like maybe they just froze up like i did.
I'm sure the odds of me being in this situation are very small, but it kind of bugs me because of what happened before, and now that I've seen it, I can't unsee it.
