- The big Police chase that they had on Thursday night occured shortly
- after 12.15am (on Friday morning), I followed it on my scanner and heard
- on officer say to the car in front of him (heading down Wainoni Rd
- towards the Bower Tavern "Car heading east on Wainoni heading east
- remember the oil slick on the roundabout... SLOW DOWN... SLOW DOWN." He
- made it through OK but it was only cause someone warned him that he made
- it (IMHO).
- Anyone having seen the median barrier between the two carparks on the
- main Brighton ramp will know the damage caused at the conclusion of that
- chase when the drunken idiot driver thought he could get his car to jump
- the barrier!
