Street View Car Chase
Thursday, 19th March 2009 by James Turnbull
Driving around the city of Bradford, the Google driver spots a shortcut through a road clearly marked as Buses, Taxis and Cycles only. But hey, no one will notice right?
After nipping down the road, the driver is stopped at a red light. Clearly in the wrong, he's probably urging the lights to change so he can get out of there sharpish.
But what's this in the distance? Yup, it's the cops. Quick Google driver, floor it!
Anticipating a tussle, the policeman even pauses the dramatic chase to pick up his partner!
But eventually our driver sees that there is no escape from West Yorkshire Police, and pulls over (into the car park of the former police station).
Let that be a lesson kids, you always get caught. This epic chase was also photographed from the pavement and the story is document on Neatorama.
Many thanks to We Are Dave
Are the pictures on this post coming from Google Street View? Otherwise, from where?
If they are from Street View, how’d you connect this incident to the Neatorama post from 8 months ago?
Yes these are street view pictures.
The images were taken sometime on the last year, so 8 months ago fits. I suppose it’s possible that the car was pulled over twice in the same spot – but unlikely!

Google driver tries the same stunt in Norwich, doesn’t get caught this time.
Hi I’m Chris the guy who took the pictures which are on the neatorama website (and also made their way onot the telegraph website http://tinyurl.com/6ffrj8 ).
I’m also wondering how you connected the images on streetview to the post on neatorama??
It can’t imagine it was very hard – Anyone who knows the area would be able to quickly find the same spot on Street View.
Have you found yourself in any of the images Chris?
Yeh here and here.
Was just getting off the phone to my girlfriend before i saw the police car and chased them round the block to get the photos.
Интересная идея, но надо бы подумать о количестве реламы на сайте. По-моему ее слишком много 🙂 Хотя, конечно – это не мое дело 🙂
