I CAN’T understand why the police would chase anyone at 90mph (‘You’re nicked,’ Daily Echo, January 21).

I understood that the police would not give chase over the speed limit.

This chase could have resulted in a sad loss of life. Would a stolen car be worth someone’s life?

I am quite sure that the owner of that car would not wish an innocent person to die in order to get his car back.

You can replace a car, you cannot replace a life. This was reckless!
