So in many cases the pursuit is called off anyway. Sometimes the pursuit is taken over by a helipcopter which tries to position itself as unseen, and it can direct the cars to follow without causing pressure. | |

That is why you see them often slowing down at an intersection when they assume that drivers left and right approching the intersection may not see the blue lights or hear the horn in time. | |
