Article: Deranged driver goes on car-bashing spree

The Cape Argus reported that a tow-truck driver, Zahier Barden, brought the rogue Jeep to a stop several hours after its driver started his journey, despite about 20 police vehicles tailing the car on New Year's evening.

What does this tell you about the cops though.

A man was arrested after he drove a four-wheel vehicle around crashing into parked cars and police cars in Lansdowne in Cape Town, according to a report on Wednesday.

Well he wouldn't have got very far playing human-dodgems on a two-wheeled scooter. But thanks for clarifying...

Could he have got somewhere using a truck/vehicle though? Carnage if he used something that had more than 4 wheels :D.

That would be covered by the word 'truck'. In much the same way as they could have said, I don't know...'car'? It's convoluted drivelism (sic) for the sake of sounding all journalisty (sic)...

I think they meant to write four wheel drive vehicle
Saw a clip on Fb earlier where a jeep was being chased by cops in Lansdowne. So probably the same story

Then if they said truck what kind of truck? How many wheels, what size? Easier to just state the facts.

Ponder you don't find 20 police vehicles tailing one car seems a bit illogical. Seems a bit stupid to me hahah. Surely 5 cars tailing would be fine or even one. The rest could have made another plan.

Go YouTube a few American police chases. I'm sure you'll see the same.
 
"I don't know what he was on, but he was immensely strong," Barden said, explaining that it took a few officers to put handcuffs on the driver.

Probably something like an energy drink mixed with something else... :erm:

Picture this : one tough Schwarzenegger-type versus several pencil-thin cops :D
 
I reckon they should have shot that guy, he was being a deliberate danger to society.
