Police officer miraculously evades horror crash

Yeah but that was one of those "out of the blue" moments... There are only seconds from the oncoming car - sliding out, and going in straight for the impact zone... There is not a lot of time to think or react or get out of the way....

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: Its one of those moments only those with actual exp in 'oh fuck' moments like military exp people I'd think who'd likely very quickly realized what to actually do to avoid the worst parts. Or I think they would anyway.

@Straven: Me thinks two and a bit things. 1. The driver was speeding and off their face, and came flying around the corner, saw the cop car, said, "OH Shit" and jumped on the brakes too hard to lose a lot of speed, and slide out... and b) You have to try and put yourself in the position of the cop - and how he perfecived everything from where he was....... not from the view of the camera, as a spectator to the incident...... and c) That car has skidded and spun for quite some distance on the previous road, then it's slide over the grass area (much lower friction) and then still skidding on the second piece of road.... He must have been going REALLY fast.... Like it's a bit of a approximation, but you can back calculate the original speed from a magnified video and counting the time from the start of the skid and estimating another 2 or 3 seconds past the point of impact... You can work off the model / scale of the car at different distances... etc.. @WMHarrison94:

@Straven: Have a guess at the initial speed and then see what WMHarris94 can work out...

@WMHarrison94: is here.
