Some police officers are taking unnecessary risks in high-speed chases, a watchdog has warned.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said there were no consistent rules for criminal pursuits and called for compulsory guidelines.

The Association of Chief Police Officers has responded by announcing a review of its existing guidelines, which are currently advisory.

About 40 deaths related to police pursuits occur a year, the IPCC says.

It is sad when people die because of this. I thought a lot were told to slow down in built up areas and traffic lights?

It can be fun watching them on " Police Camera Action programmes.
