Absolutely mental
This was on TV last night, there is a thread and a link to bbc iplayer.
couple of years old and has been on tv.
BUT yes mad, 1 day in prison they needed to be in a mental hospital.
people will do any thing to get on TV these days :rolleyes:
I bet that truck driver didnt think he would be hitting 2 swedish twins that night.
What puzzles me is that after the first attempt (by both of them) to get run over, why the police didn't think of handcuffing the one in the red coat at least. Yes, she didn't commit a crime and so wasn't under arrest but for her own safety and everyone else, the police and other motorists, she should have been tied down to something or at the very least put her in the back of the police car with the doors locked.
Seen this a few times on something like Road Wars or Police Camera Action. A few years old but I wouldn't mind seeing what was on last night that everyone keeps bringing up. What was it?
Insane. Completely selfish and apart from anything, causing chaos for traffic.

The original program was Motorway Cops.
What was on the other night was a more detailed account.
This is the full program detailing what happened during and after the incident.

Is it staged? Looks staged to me?
The Police are awful there, Both Women should have been Cuffed and placed in Police Cars for their own safety.

no way could that ever have been staged.
Still a poor response by the Police.
You dont cuff someone who has just got hit by a vehicle.

In the Police were you?
If they are fine enough to go and run back in front of another one you do.
Plus they should have been cuffed when the Police first arrived on scene anyway.
The woman was on the floor with paramedics, then suddenly got up and started running.
They should have both been arrested by the first on scene for being a pedestrian on a motor, its illegal without there being an emergency.
If you watch it again there are plenty of opportunities for the Police to have got hold of them.
Just watched the program, and it's bizarre. I think it's unquestionable they are complete mad, whatever condition it is and I can't believe the other twin didn't also face prosecution or at least an evaluation of her mental wellbeing.
In the end, it's just sad for the poor bloke's family who got stabbed and the drivers who hit the women.
I thought they were off their face on drugs?
No temporary shared madness apparently, which means thy don't really know why or how as the human mind is still rather a mystery.
i feel there was no need to cuff them as you don't expect some one to kill them self.
how would you feel if you were stopped and then put in a padded room "for your own safety" ? the police would have been frowned on for heavy handedness if they were cuffed.
