I saw it a while back, can't recall the program but that's what drugs* do for you - probably saved their lives. I bet they were sore when they sobered up though.

I use the term drugs to cover everything and anything, not just illicit substances.

The clip was originally used part of the traffic cops programme, but they only showed part of it due to a pending court case, it's worth watching the whole programme.
No drugs involved, they're just nutters :)

Ok, I'll recind my initial "recall", it appears medical illness is more accurate. But what sort of a mess is our "system" in if this case is anything to go by?

When that episode of Traffic Cops was first shown on TV, I couldn't believe that she wanted to get away that desperately, that she ran towards the traffic without even looking, it made for shocking viewing!

Subsequently more info has come out, and it gives more info about it, but her state of mind, to run in front of the truck, did not seem O.K. from what you can see in the clip.

There's no such thing as a fast lane in GB, and the BBC should know better.

Dumbing down rears its ugly head. :(
