Remember the earlier post about our very own Lancer Evo police pursuit cars? Well according to CBT, apparently 2 units have since been totalled beyond repair. While there is a very little information on what happened, so let's not make any rash conclusions. But personally however I don't have a good experience with these so called Unit Helangs.
Not long after the first post on the Lancer Evo pursuit vehicles were made I had a short encounter with 2 of these cars. It was an early Saturday morning, around 7.30am and traffic was very light. I was on the fast lane of Federal Highway doing close to 140km/h. I don't smoke and I don't lecture anyone about the ills about smoking so how about giving me the skip for not keeping to the 90km/h limit (like I said traffic was very light) alright? Very soon a white car with HIDs blazing appeared in my rear mirror, I immediately realised it was the famed Unit Helang cars. It switched on its blue beacons for a moment, so I promptly moved over. It didn't look like it was interested in booking me but more interested in passing. At my speed I can't be pottering in the middle lane, so once the first "Unit Helang" passed I turned on my indicators, checked my mirrors and shoulder and moved back right out. But to my surprise, the Unit Helang ahead of me switched off its blue beacon lights, and then on again when it meet traffic. Very soon another one of these bastards turned up in my mirror again and I had to repeat the same. I kept up with them at a safe distance well behind for a while to watch their antics and the two continued the same, switching their blue beacons on and off to bully cars in their way. Too bad I didn't have my camera with me.
So what's the deal with these two Unit Helang cars? Those blue lights are switched on so cars will move aside for them to have a go at each other? They certainly don't like they are carrying out official duties or rushing to a particular crime scene, looking at their on-off beacon lights.
I have many other bad encounters with police escorts for royalties (the Sultan of Johor to be specific) as well as local politicians but that's another story.

Saw one on Penchala link on Mon 4 Jan stopping a 3-ton lorry.
Heck, even Waja patrol cars stop 3-ton lorry, no need Lancer Evo for that.
you were doing 140 in your daihatsu sirion?? :O
Saw them twice on Kesas, booking a kapcai...at best get RM10, need to use Evo X?
Doing 140KPH in early morning light traffic on the fast lane - that is called good manners.
If you were pottering along at 90KPH, we shall have words!
