Police Car Chase in Foreign Country

Up -2 Down

When I was 17 I ended up in a police car chase while visiting my friend overseas. I went to New Zealand from Australia to stay with my best friend. Who I learned now lived with her druggo brother. Another story. So this one night everyone was over at my friend’s house and they decided to get drunk. I jumped in this one guy's car, and my friend rode with the other car. It was just him and I and we led the way, first to the store to get the booze, then back to his place. At the top of his street he slowed down, waiting for the cavalcade to catch up and see him turn. We were at the crest of a hill, so it was all down hill. In the dark of night I could make out silhouettes at the bottom, but didn't know what it was. So the guy floors it, and we take off. First thought was contempt for the new friends my friend had made. The blue and red flash at the bottom and the guy slows down, as if to stop. The cop is on a corner, so still slowing he rounds the corner, then takes off. I was in shock for a few seconds, not really believing what was happening. I see a line of cars parked on the street, and the houses on both sides, it’s the worst place for a chase. He starts apologising, and not wanting to waste energy on conversation I tell him to just focus on driving. I was praying no one would step out from behind a car. Then he turns his lights off. That's the final straw and I'm about to let loose for him to stop when he turns up into a drive way and shoots into a garage. But too late the cops follow us up the drive. I hear them yelling and swearing for him to get out. They come to the door and pull him out. The car is still idling. They don't see me. I sit there quietly; very glad he's getting served. Then one of them comes back to turn the car off. He sticks his head in, but I must be invisible because he doesn't even see me and he's like 2 feet from me. I think, “I better make myself known, or it could be bad for me”. So I give a loud sigh. He gets a big shock and roughly tells me to get out too. I walk out and my friends and her mates are walking up the drive. I walk over to her and say, "Your friends are idiots." They bitch and moan about their night being ruined. And I harshly remind them that no one died, at least. The cops didn't even end up talking to me about it. I think he got his license revoked or something. I didn't tell my parents until a couple years ago.
