Why does running from the cops seem to be such a pastime in Sweden? Do the cops just really suck/not care?

I remember hearing that if they don't catch you, they can't really grab you (especially if you don't have a license plate attached when escaping). They have to catch you on the spot. You're off the hook if the same cops see you two hours later at a diner somewhere (and this time you have a license plate!). This is probably not true at all. Swegoons confim or deny or clarify this for me?


EDIT: In Finland they can basically get you on suspicion alone. (not really but many new drivers who like to speed don't know that)

Better question, why, if youre running from the cops, do you not launch and short shift?

first of all... define "fell off" because if by "fell off" you mean 'yanking on it really hard while trying to reach over in the back seat and smack kid and or grandma in the face' ...I could believe that.

second of all... how do you "swerve to a stop" without a steering wheel?
please don't tell me your immediate reaction was "i have no steering control over the car. let's mash the brakes and hope the car reasonably guides itself to the side of the road"

Apparently it was an improperly installed fastener and GM hasn't found any more instances of the issue, though they're saying Cruze owners can come in for a free safety inspection.

C'mon Cruze, be good. I want GM to do well. :(

That was pretty brutal. I'm guessing the red E36 started spinning at the turn-in (where the camera car got a bit woobly), ended up going through the grass backwards, didn't even touch the brakes, and whammo. I can imagine the panic of spinning off a high-speed straightaway like that, but that was some pretty piss-poor judgment on the driver's part. I hope he caught some serious heat for that.

Look at the freaking reflexes on that Cayenne driver. I'm still not sure why the trucker didn't hold steady though, I'd think it would take more than a Corolla to knock him out like that.

It's a SOLID smack of impact that cuts the truck over, don't think the driver had much of a say in the matter after that.
