Start watching at 1:00.  She passed him doing 84. Too soon to PIT?

I use to be really good at the pit maneuver in go-carts.

Not too soon.

anything over 40mph and a PIT gets super dangerous for both cars involved. What if this were a husband trying to get his wife to the ER to give birth? What if she was having a medical emergency?  She pulled into the right lane and was not making any erratic maneuvers. That was a stupid and dangerous move by the cop.

Meh, she had minutes to pull over.  Thems the breaks.

She was pregnant. So if this killed the baby would that have been ok? Does her speeding and not pulling over IMMEDIATLY really warrant flipping her and killing an unborn child?

First off, the title (on the video), is misleading.  The PIT maneuver wasn't done because she pulled over slowly... she never pulled over, period.  There's no debating that on any level.  She started to pull over and later sped up.  She never, at any point in time, tried to come to a stop.

Secondly, she's an idiot.  If she needed to get to the hospital, pulling over was the best course of action.  She had a cop who was going to come to her car and literally end up taking her to the hospital in his car or give her an escort.

Another reason why the woman is an idiot... call 911 while on the way!!

Now, as for the cop, he's an idiot too.  These things shouldn't be done at those speeds.  I didn't have volume, but if there was no 911 call about the vehicle, then there's no need to assume this person is violent, just because they passed you.  He should have been more cautious about a person passing a cop on a road with no one on it.

Let's just hope the woman isn't black.  If she is, then this cop is going to jail for attempted murder or something like that.  More defund the police, "Say her name" bull crap, and BLM garbage.

We were permanently banned from the go kart track as kids because we unscrewed the antenna on the governors. So we were going way faster than everyone else and they couldn't make us stop.

I pitted one friend and he went over the little barrier thing.

Bogeys golf and fun was not amused.
