00:00So, this is the tapering method of a lane 2 closure.
00:11The placing of cones, it's not just willy-nilly, no.
00:16In North Tyneside, Sergeant Dave Roberts is keeping his traffic management on the straight
00:21and narrow.
00:22You'll notice that as I put these cones down, they're at right angles to the white lines
00:28in the centre road.
00:29If you put them at an angle, it's just wrong.
00:31You see, this, it just won't do.
00:34It won't do.
00:35There we go.
00:36I'm happy now.
00:37Yep, job done.
00:38UK police forces have been sent over 100,000 dashcam clips, exposing the most dangerous
00:57drivers on our roads.
01:00All hell has broken loose on our highways.
01:05You on a lesson?
01:07At least it wasn't your test.
01:10We join the motorway cops of Northumbria Police.
01:12Should we gun?
01:14Why, aye, of course we're gunning.
01:17As they drive criminals of the North East off the roads.
01:21Crash, crash, crash.
01:23And put the deadliest drivers behind bars.
01:27Stand still, tears out.
01:29You want to tell us who you are?
01:31I'm a police officer.
01:32What do I look like?
01:33Am I in fancy dress?
01:34Do whatever you want.
01:35Do you want to arrest me?
01:36Do it.
01:37I'll let the dog out on you.
01:38I'm getting a little bit bored of you now.
01:39Jazz.
01:40Bunch of muppets.
01:41Helping them in their battle with idiots behind the wheel is dashcam.
01:47It's vital evidence.
01:48Does everyone have any dashcam at home?
01:50And proof that Britain's dumbest drivers are a law unto themselves.
01:58Police one, criminal nil.
02:00Tonight.
02:01Stop there.
02:02He's going to go off-race.
02:03A dangerous motorist won't play ball.
02:04Get on the floor now.
02:05Get on the floor.
02:06Absolute idiot.
02:07You can't do this, man.
02:22You need to comply with us.
02:24I'm not complying with anything.
02:25I'm not going to tell you no people are on the van.
02:30There's some of me in Austria.
02:31A dopey driver reveals his stash.
02:34Very honest of you.
02:35He's taking some people.
02:36It's me, though.
02:37Where is he?
02:38Where is he?
02:39And a former classmate faces detention.
02:40Do you remember us from school?
02:41No.
02:42You were my age, right?
02:43I'm a good lad, me or no?
02:44To drive out the criminals, Northumbria police rely on a fleet of 800 motorists.
02:45And they're going to do it.
02:46They're going to do it.
02:47They're going to do it.
02:48They're going to do it.
02:49They're going to do it.
02:50They're going to do it.
02:51They're going to do it.
02:52They're going to do it.
02:53They're going to do it.
02:54They're going to do it.
02:55They're going to do it.
02:56They're going to do it.
02:57They're going to do it.
02:58They're going to do it.
03:00To drive out the criminals, Northumbria police rely on a fleet of 840 first class cop cars.
03:12And at Eitel Lane station in Newcastle, one motorway cop is looking for a partner in crime to share his ride.
03:24Do you want the good news?
03:25Go on then.
03:26Me and you tonight.
03:30I feel sick all of a sudden.
03:32Are you just heartbroken when you do things like that, you know?
03:35What's the bad news?
03:36This is going to be a fight to the death over who's driving.
03:40Can I start?
03:41Because I had to be up at half four this morning for an airport run.
03:45I'm starting to well up.
03:47That sounds really sad.
03:48Right, you do the first four hours.
03:51Deal.
03:53Right, shall we go out and do something?
03:56Score settled.
03:57In the driving seat is PC Jan Shimlisher.
04:00And riding shotgun is PC Jamie Leslie.
04:10Are you doing comms?
04:11No, you are.
04:13Right.
04:15I drive, you comms.
04:16Right.
04:17Benzer rules.
04:20But let's not start the night off with a bad lead.
04:23Good evening.
04:24Can you just book me south and 994 on Tango 3-5 where Team Dove.
04:37How rubbish were Newcastle yesterday?
04:39Not like that anymore.
04:40Oh, God, mate.
04:41Disgraceful.
04:43Who would you say is the top Newcastle player?
04:46It's got to be Shearer, isn't it?
04:48I kind of semi-support Liverpool.
04:51Get out.
04:53What?
04:56Oh, I thought there was a job offer.
04:59Supporting who?
05:00What's the matter with you?
05:16I mean, I'll tell you what.
05:17I mean, I'll tell you what.
05:18I'm just going to give that Astra a little stop because he's either lost
05:23or he's on the prowl for something anyway.
05:26It just doesn't look right.
05:28See where he's going.
05:31Definitely killed him.
05:33Well, he's turned off somewhere.
05:37It's a bit of an old, tatty car.
05:39So it might just be somebody out for a little tootle about.
05:42But it's these types of cars that people don't insure, etc.
05:46So it'll be worth a little check.
05:50We'll get it pulled and have a little chat with the driver.
05:56He's definitely came up this way.
06:00Must have seen us spinning round.
06:02Yeah.
06:08I can see it.
06:09I can see it.
06:12This is a dead end down here.
06:14I don't think he can get it.
06:15It's one way in and one way out of this estate.
06:18Well, he's either gone home or he's lost.
06:20He's trying to look for somewhere to run away.
06:27Yeah, I'll check, please, in New York.
06:39What's he doing?
06:40What's he doing, man?
06:41What's he doing, man?
06:44He's going to meet off here.
06:47He's going to go up, right?
06:53Stop there!
06:54Stop there!
07:09The story on Britain's roads
07:13is no fairy tale.
07:17Knights in shining armour
07:20are leaving damsels in distress.
07:28And we've run out of happy endings.
07:38What's he doing?
07:40What's he doing, man?
07:42He's going to meet off here.
07:44Late night in North Shields
07:46and Jan and Jamie have followed a suspicious driver down a dead end.
07:52He's going to go up, right?
07:56Stop there!
08:00Tango 10-5-D, this vehicle's making an off, formally.
08:04The T-PAP train suitable vehicle will request an authority for the pursuit.
08:07We'll assume the role of pursuit commander.
08:09Request the four-pronged, tactically-tripped unit, sport and dog.
08:13One adult male driver.
08:15Identity's unknown to us. Destination's unknown.
08:18Road conditions are dry.
08:20Weather is good.
08:22No pedestrians, no traffic.
08:24No risk. Speed 5-0.
08:26Tango 10-5-8, we've made contact with us.
08:48Still no risk. Speed 4-0.
08:57Close him up, close him up, close him up.
08:59Yeah, close him up.
09:02Get on the floor now! Get on the floor!
09:04On the floor now!
09:05Get on the floor!
09:08Vehicle stop, driver detained.
09:13I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
09:15You alright?
09:16Vehicle stop, driver detained.
09:19Come on, lalaboos.
09:21Come on, run your feet.
09:24Absolute idiot.
09:27LB, everyone's alright. No injury.
09:31The only damage was sustained at the point he's hit our vehicle,
09:36as he's started to make off.
09:39What's your name then?
09:42We're going to find out anyway, so you might as well just tell us.
09:45What's your name?
09:49You lost the capability of speech?
09:52So we're going to find out your name anyway, son,
09:54so you might as well tell us.
09:57Just not speaking?
09:58No.
10:00He stinks of drink.
10:03How much have you had to drink tonight?
10:07Well, you need to comply with us.
10:09I'm not complying with anything.
10:12Obviously, you're not telling us your name, OK,
10:14but I've got a power under Section 6 of the Road Traffic Act
10:17to take a preliminary sample of breath from you
10:20by means of this device, OK?
10:22You're not?
10:23For that, you're going to be at the end of your sentence.
10:25For that, you're going to be at that caution.
10:26You're not even giving me the opportunity to even stand up straight.
10:29But it may harm your defence not to mention,
10:31when questioned, police may rely on court.
10:34OK, I need just one long continuous breath into this for us, please, mate,
10:38until I tell you to stop.
10:39It doesn't work like that, man.
10:40I know exactly how it works.
10:41I've done it a million times.
10:42Right, OK.
10:44I'm not refusing no specimen test,
10:46but you're not really giving us a fair chance here.
10:49Really.
10:50However, man, however.
10:51You can't do this, man.
10:53OK.
10:54Can I stand up and do it?
10:55No, you can't.
10:56You're detained.
10:57I've got a f***ing thing round my back of my hand.
11:01Are you going to provide me with a specimen,
11:03as I've just requested several times now?
11:06Can I have a chance?
11:07I've given you several...
11:08Can I stand up and do it?
11:09No, I've given you several...
11:10It's not conditional.
11:11You're sitting down, you're comfortable.
11:12Are you cheating the b***h?
11:13It's comfortable.
11:14Are you cheating the b***h?
11:15It's comfortable.
11:16Who's he going to get?
11:17Right, listen.
11:19It's midnight.
11:20You're under arrest on suspicion of dangerous driving.
11:22F*** off!
11:24And driving whilst under the influence...
11:25Drop on! Drop on!
11:26...through drugs or alcohol.
11:28Drop on!
11:29You don't have to say anything.
11:30Me, I'm f***ed.
11:31F***!
11:37It's on the floor.
11:38Can you see this, man?
11:39Right, you've been given plenty of opportunities.
11:42And where?
11:43Right, up on your knees.
11:44One, two, three.
11:45On your knees?
11:46Yeah.
11:53Sit down.
11:58I don't think...
11:59I don't think I'm being any Christmas cards off of him.
12:07He's been arrested for obviously dangerous driving.
12:09He's clattered at the side of our car.
12:11We've had a bit of a pursuit with him.
12:13He stinks of drink.
12:15He's absolutely blathered.
12:16So he's been locked up for that as well.
12:18And failed to provide.
12:19It's going to be a long night in the cells for him.
12:22We're all being avoided.
12:52We're all being avoided.
13:18Well, that escalated quickly.
13:20Got a little bit out of hand, didn't he?
13:23He was just an absolute buffoon, man.
13:26Yeah.
13:27The dangers there.
13:28As evidenced by his own driving.
13:30He should not be behind the wheel.
13:33Nobody got hurt.
13:35Great driving, mate.
13:36Great driving.
13:37Thanks.
13:51We'll get the car set up.
13:52God knows who's been driving it.
13:54It's your office for the day, isn't it?
13:55So it's got to be set up right.
13:57Seat's got to be in the right position.
13:59There's one of the lads that used to be on my shift.
14:01Used to have his seat right on the floor like he was driving a go-kart.
14:04I don't like that.
14:05I like sitting quite high.
14:06I can see a lot better.
14:07I'm higher in the car.
14:09At Follingsby Police Station,
14:11PC Will Hunter has a high seat and high standards.
14:16I hate monkey windscreens.
14:18I hate monkey mirrors.
14:19It's a bit of a pet hate, so...
14:21I like it all to be clean,
14:22especially on the night shift.
14:25I'm a bit finicky about my own car.
14:26The kids know not to try and get my car dirty.
14:28Put fingerprint marks on the windows
14:30and have the monkey feet in the car.
14:33That'll be there.
14:34We're done with dusting, I think.
14:36So, the plan for this evening
14:38is got the normal tasking around
14:40drinky drug drivers and
14:42people that are doing what they shouldn't be doing.
14:44So, we're just going to head off and
14:46see what trouble and fun we can get involved in.
15:06Right, very slow.
15:13Very, very, very slow.
15:17Very, very, very, very, very slow.
15:29It's not a lot of them, but it's him.
15:31It's a motorway, sort of speedsy.
15:34Should be going a little bit faster than 40mph.
15:37He also seems to be weaving all over the place.
15:40So, whether he's intoxicated
15:42or maybe he's not just concentrating very well.
15:47Vehicle check, please.
15:48A19 South.
15:49Small black car.
15:50A19 South.
15:51Small black car.
16:03That's a safe thing.
16:05Oh, we're up to 45.
16:08We're up to 45.
16:10We'll find somewhere safe to stop him
16:12and then we'll see what the crap is with him.
16:18Here we go.
16:20Let's go.
16:22So, now he's going to do 20mph.
16:25Yeah, that's nice.
16:27Are we?
16:31Right.
16:36Hello there.
16:37You alright?
16:38The reason I've stopped you is you're driving very, very slowly.
16:41I'm sorry, I don't know what is the limit here.
16:44Where are you going to now?
16:45I am going to shop and go to take two deliveries.
16:48Right.
16:49So, what's the speed limit on a motorway?
16:51I think 70.
16:52Yep.
16:53How fast were you going?
16:5447.
16:5540.
16:58I'm sorry, I don't know.
16:59Have you got your driving licence on you, please?
17:03The Google Maps doesn't show the limit here.
17:06I don't know why.
17:07This is the problem with modern driving.
17:10You need to become less reliant on that and look ahead
17:14and look at the surroundings around you.
17:16Because what you've got to think of is
17:17there's a lot of traffic travelling 70, sometimes 80 miles an hour.
17:21Yeah, I understand.
17:22Normally you get told off for driving too fast.
17:25That's what I think is funny, but you are perfectly right.
17:28I didn't realise, sorry.
17:30It's not a challenge to get up to that speed if you don't want to.
17:33But try and get around it if you can.
17:35It's safer for you and it's just safer for everyone else.
17:48Yeah, not drunk, not what I was expecting, all fairness.
17:51I wasn't overly sure of the speed limit,
17:53so I was driving a little bit slower than maybe I could have.
17:57He needs to take a bit more notice of the roads
18:00and maybe not on the sat-nav.
18:02But yeah, he's off on his way.
18:18FOLLINGSBY NIC
18:28Stick that in there.
18:31Been on the course for last week, so I'm all out of sorts.
18:35I need to make sure I've got everything.
18:38I was just sitting on my course, looking out the window,
18:40thinking I should be out there keeping the streets safe.
18:44At Follingsby Nic, seven miles west of Sunderland...
18:48Always ready to fight crime.
18:50That's why it takes so long to prepare, so then I know I'm ready.
18:54PC Martin Anderson has his game face on.
18:58We'll be hoping that there's loads of baddies out for us to play with.
19:01Good old game of cops and robbers.
19:03I was always a better robber than a cop, playing when I was a kid.
19:07How the tables have turned, eh?
19:14MUSIC FADES
19:25Martin was always destined to play one of the good guys.
19:36So joining the police has always been an ambition of mine.
19:39My grandad was a cop.
19:41I've always had that sort of admiration for the police.
19:45I've been lucky enough to do a job that I've wanted to do
19:49and I enjoy doing.
19:51Don't get me wrong, it would be nice to win the lot,
19:53but I'd have to come to work.
19:55I could be swayed.
20:01Today, Martin's trying his luck on the streets of Sunderland.
20:06So the plan for today is respond to anything that comes in.
20:11Whether that's road traffic collisions, a broken down vehicle,
20:16anything like that.
20:18But while we're not getting sent to anything,
20:21we'll be out being a presence on the streets.
20:24But ultimately as well, the part that I love is the proactive side
20:29and getting vehicles stopped, getting people in the car,
20:34dealing with things before they become bigger issues.
20:42BANG
20:47Intel suggesting that the driver drives under the influence of cannabis
20:51or smokes cannabis while driving.
20:53That's received.
20:56We're looking for a scrap sort of van-style transit.
21:01There's some information that suggests that the driver
21:04might be using it under the influence of cannabis.
21:0880 people a day are caught drug driving on our roads,
21:12with nearly half of those repeat offenders.
21:22St Helens and Merseyside police are on the tail of motorbike riders
21:26high on drugs and causing chaos on busy roads.
21:31The suspects dangerously weave between cars
21:34and race through red lights.
21:37As the chase hits a dual carriageway,
21:39one of the riders is flung from his bike and tries to flee on foot.
21:44Another rider skids the wrong way round a roundabout.
21:48He slams on the brakes and 180s straight at oncoming traffic.
21:52Luckily, the cops get in his way.
21:56Two men pleaded guilty to drug driving and dangerous driving.
21:59They were each banned from driving for two years
22:02and sentenced to one year in prison.
22:12Intel suggests that the driver drives under the influence of cannabis
22:16or smokes cannabis while driving.
22:19That's received.
22:21Back in Sunderland,
22:23Martin's looking for a suspected drug driver in a flatbed truck.
22:33David is here. What's it like?
22:55Dashcam the musical has all your favourite hits.
23:03From greased lightning
23:05to a hard knock life
23:09and sending the clowns.
23:13Bad drivers love to make a song and dance at every turn.
23:25We're looking for a scrap sort of van style transit.
23:33In Sunderland, Martin is on the tail of a suspected drug driver.
23:40That was a spot of luck.
23:45The last thing someone needs to be doing is driving a van
23:48on a public road while under the influence,
23:50so we'll see if it's the chap driving and take it from there.
24:03Hello, mate, you all right?
24:05Do you want to just nip your tab and jump in the back of the car?
24:15The van's activated the car.
24:17It's suggested that the person driving it is driving
24:20whilst under the influence of cannabis.
24:22Really? Do you use cannabis?
24:24I do, but not all the time.
24:26You do, but not all the time? How often?
24:28Only me.
24:29To be honest, I can smell it a little bit.
24:31When did you last have it?
24:33Last night.
24:34Because you've acknowledged that you do use cannabis,
24:37I'm going to request a specimen of saliva from you.
24:40Have you done one of these before? No.
24:42Are you happy to provide a specimen, yeah? Yeah.
24:45It tests to see if there's a trace of cannabis or cocaine in your system.
24:53Open nice and wide.
24:56Do you think you'll pass this or not?
24:58No.
25:00Why are you driving, then, if you think you'll be still under the influence?
25:05Is it just a bit of a habit thing, or do you use it for, like, pain relief?
25:11Have you?
25:15The thing is with cannabis, I mean, I'm not trying to preach to you here,
25:18well, I suppose I am in a way, but cannabis is one of the drugs
25:21that can still be traced in your blood and your saliva
25:24and things like that for days after you've used it.
25:27You haven't got none on you at the minute, have you? No.
25:31You can see there that there's a detection for cannabis straightaway.
25:36I'm arresting you on suspicion of drug driving, OK,
25:39which is contrary to Section 5A of the Road Traffic Act.
25:42All right, mate?
25:46Is there much on it?
25:49Right.
25:50Very honest of you.
25:52What is it you still like?
25:54Groundwork. Groundwork.
26:10To be fair to him, he said it was in there.
26:12That can be seized as well, and we'll dispose of that for him.
26:17Right.
26:19Right.
26:20I'm going to be further arresting you for possession of a controlled substance,
26:23a Class B substance, cannabis, OK?
26:49He had a particular cannabis habit,
26:52which, unfortunately, you know, can't really coincide
26:55with someone that's using a van on a daily basis for work.
27:00He's essentially an accident waiting to happen.
27:03He was very honest from the outset.
27:05He stated that he smokes it every night,
27:07even at the point of where he's told us that it was in the van
27:10and where it was, so he certainly made our job easy for us.
27:13So, yeah, it's been a good stop.
27:35Can I go first, or...?
27:36I'll go first.
27:38I spy, with my little eye,
27:41something beginning with...
27:44C.
27:48On the lookout for dodgy drivers around Newcastle
27:51are Jan and Jamie.
27:54C.
27:55Yes.
27:57Cup.
27:58No.
27:59Coffee.
28:00No.
28:01No.
28:02No.
28:03No.
28:04No.
28:05No.
28:06Coffee.
28:07No.
28:08Cuffs.
28:09No.
28:10No.
28:11No.
28:12Cops.
28:13No.
28:14God, I hope not.
28:17Cones.
28:18No.
28:21Cat lights.
28:23Cat eyes.
28:24Yeah.
28:26Well done.
28:37Westbound, I'm on the blind.
28:39There's a Merc that I think's dodgy.
28:41Well, Jack, neither of them told me.
28:43We're just getting spun round. We'll head up.
28:46I've just had a shift.
28:47Sergeant, seeing that he's got a dodgy-looking Mercedes
28:50on the coast road, he's just asking that we go up and just have a look.
28:58Oh, there he is.
29:07Are it?
29:09The sergeant has stopped a Mercedes on trade plates.
29:13He says he's just picked it up from London
29:15and he's delivering it for a customer.
29:17But at 11 o'clock at night and no paperwork to back up his story,
29:22the cops suspect this driver is on the road illegally.
29:26Have you been driving round in Newcastle in this vehicle at night?
29:30Not for trading purposes?
29:33We've driven it all the way up from London.
29:35I suspect that's probably a sufficient test drive.
29:47So why have you lied about that?
29:52They basically tell him we're a bit of a cock and bull story,
29:55that they've picked the car up initially, he's picked it up from London
29:58and he's just driven back from London.
30:00And now he's changed his story, saying he panicked
30:03and he's actually only just picked it up from Bishop Auckland,
30:06saying that he was testing the vehicle, but he needed to do a bit more testing
30:09so he's going to pick his mate up from Newcastle city centre
30:12and then he's on his way back home now.
30:15It's on trade plates, so essentially the purpose of his journey,
30:20I don't believe, I believe he's just been driving round in the customised car
30:24without insurance, essentially.
30:26You aren't driving this vehicle for trade purposes?
30:30No, you're not.
30:31No, you're not.
30:32You're driving the car round at night time.
30:36You've just driven it all the way from Bishop Auckland.
30:39You don't need to keep testing it.
30:41So you can't pick your friend up and then drive down to North Shields
30:45and then drive back up.
30:47That's not testing it.
30:49No.
30:50No.
30:53Having failed to convince Jamie with his previous version of events,
30:57the driver tries a third.
31:09If it's your car, then why have you got a trade plate near that window?
31:19You've told us three...
31:21Don't talk over us.
31:23I'm not going to believe anything you say now
31:26because you're lying.
31:27You're driving without valid certificate of insurance for this vehicle, alright?
31:31So we're going to be seizing the car.
31:38You're going to have to get the bus back home now.
31:40I know.
31:41Just pay your insurance like everyone else has to.
31:46If you're driving that car at this time of night,
31:48do you know what I think we're going to think?
31:51Trading cars at 11 o'clock on a Sunday night.
31:54It doesn't happen, man.
31:56I'm going to step out because I can't hear the story again.
31:59I can't listen to it again.
32:01I can't remember which version we're getting.
32:03To speak to the kids.
32:05Honestly, it wasn't me.
32:09This one really is the truth.
32:11This one really is the truth, I promise.
32:14Right, take it easy, lads. I'll see yous later.
32:25THE TRUTH
32:35His stories were quite eccentric, really.
32:38He just needed a stick to a simple script
32:40and I probably would have believed him,
32:42but he couldn't really prove anything, so...
32:44He couldn't lie straight in bed.
32:46He couldn't, like, he couldn't.
32:48He's a nice bloke, like, but just a really, really poor liar.
32:53I think he was thinking...
32:55Right lower eyes.
32:56And now what I'm going to say to these
32:58and they're going to believe it straight away.
33:01Obviously, he didn't realise the boys in blue
33:05weren't that easily fooled.
33:07Not our first rodeo, is it, Jamie?
33:09Definitely not.
33:23So, tonight I'm feeling quite optimistic.
33:25We've got the girls on, our area,
33:27we've got the lads down south,
33:29so hopefully we'll show them how it's done.
33:35Hopefully it'll be a good night.
33:38PC Marianne Hutchison is on her final shift
33:41before four days off with a woman's best friend.
33:45I'm going to have a drink.
33:47I'm going to have a drink.
33:49I'm going to have a drink.
33:52I've got a blue and white staffy called Max.
33:54He's four and a half.
33:56He's a mam's boy.
33:57There he is there.
33:59He's brilliant.
34:00I think he'd be a good police dog, to be honest,
34:02because he's hard as nails.
34:05Give it a quick stir.
34:06How many days?
34:08Do I roll?
34:22When it comes to catching crooks,
34:24Marianne is like a dog with a bone.
34:30A lot of people would probably describe me
34:32as an excited little puppy when I'm at work.
34:36I love night shift.
34:37I prefer night shift than a day shift.
34:39It's exciting.
34:40It just gives a bit of sass to the shift.
34:45Most people will be in bed, tucked up,
34:47ready for work.
34:48Most people will be in bed, tucked up,
34:50ready for work tomorrow.
34:51But a lot of people will be going out committing crime,
34:53and that's my job to go out and sort of prevent that.
34:59There's been a lot of burglaries recently
35:01where they've been using vehicles to turn up
35:03at the addresses.
35:04So we've been given tasks to go stop any car
35:07that doesn't suit being in the area
35:10and just find out what they're up to.
35:13We'll see what sort of mayhem we can cause.
35:19I'm going to do a check on this Audi up here.
35:23Vehicle check, please.
35:24Newcastle Road.
35:29Yeah, that's coming back as an Audi A4 in grey,
35:32the report.
35:40OK, that's me in A4.
35:41That's me in A4.
35:44Sergeant, I've just had an Audi that's made off somewhere.
35:47He's performed a last-minute left turn.
35:50Look at me.
35:51South cruise kicked straight over.
35:53I'll let him see if I can catch up with him.
35:56There's never a good reason for drivers
35:58to steer clear of the cops.
36:06Near Maidstone, an uninsured driver
36:09is taking Kent Police on a high-speed chase
36:11on wet country roads.
36:14Hurtling through quiet village lanes,
36:17the reckless suspect terrifies cyclists
36:21before flying through junctions.
36:24Determined to get away,
36:26he hits 60 miles an hour in a 20 zone.
36:30But police manage to burst the car's tyres.
36:33As two patrols box the driver in,
36:35finally bringing the pursuit to an end.
36:38He admitted dangerous driving,
36:40driving while disqualified
36:42and driving without insurance.
36:45He was sentenced to a year in prison.
37:00Yeah, that's me in A4.
37:02That's me in A4.
37:04In Sunderland, a driver has made a sharp exit
37:08after spotting Mary-Anne's cop car.
37:15Trying to come off.
37:17Did you see his manoeuvre there?
37:20That means, to me,
37:22he doesn't want to be stopped by the police at all.
37:25I want to know why he's just performed
37:27such a stupid manoeuvre on a dual carriageway.
37:31Unfortunately for him, I live and work in this area,
37:34so it's not going to go that far.
37:36Hopefully, we're going to come across him.
37:41While Mary-Anne checks the back streets,
37:43another officer spots the driver in the city centre.
38:01THE CHASE
38:08Take our bad driving quiz
38:11and see who will win the chase.
38:17Or prove they're the weakest link.
38:22There are few masterminds behind the wheel.
38:26But these questionable drivers
38:30still end up getting points.
38:44It's made off.
38:46Sergeant, I've just had an Audi that's made off somewhere.
38:48Would I let him see if I can catch up with it?
38:51In Sunderland,
38:52a spooked Audi driver has bolted from Mary-Anne's cop car.
39:01I've seen somebody here. I've spotted that Audi now.
39:05But a city centre patrol has eyes on the suspect.
39:11Vehicle, I'll be.
39:12This is what you join the police for, man?
39:15The left-left indication award.
39:17Do you need that?
39:18Should the vehicle make off,
39:19can you ask for any other technical resources,
39:21air support and so on?
39:26Four more units,
39:28four more units, including Martin and Will,
39:31join Mary-Anne, racing to catch up.
39:35And the police chopper gets on the chase from the skies.
39:40I'll be on path 3-2.
39:41We're monitoring if you need us to get eyes on you.
39:49The road conditions are dry.
39:51The weather is fine.
39:53No reaction to my presence.
39:55With the suspect slowing down,
39:57the lead patrol spots a chance to bring him to a stop.
40:00Hang on, he's possibly doing a full reset.
40:07He's failed to stop.
40:13Decomp, decomp.
40:15Down towards the Peacock.
40:17He's going to come out on the Gilbridge.
40:21I think he's near the cream top.
40:23He's run down the side towards the Mead Street.
40:27Path 3-2, we're on the channel.
40:28If we could just get a street head, please.
40:31If you just let him sit there, he's weird.
40:35Where is he? Where is he?
40:42He's going right, right from where I am,
40:44between the building works and that pub.
40:48Could be anywhere around this area.
40:53I've come all the way back round onto the 103.
40:56He might have jumped over into the building site.
40:59He's in here somewhere.
41:01Yeah.
41:08From a member of the public,
41:09he threw a left behind these buildings,
41:12from where the creams are.
41:14I think he's around here somewhere.
41:16Yes, yes.
41:19He can get in here, but he's going to have a massive jump.
41:23Yeah, we've got a heat source
41:25not far from where you lost that, brother.
41:31The helicopter's basically trying to talk everyone into
41:34where this person is,
41:35the other side of here somewhere, down by the river.
41:37I'm just looking to see if we can get access to it from this point.
41:41It's obviously a big fence to get over, isn't it?
41:47Delta 974 is just trying to get in with the dog.
41:50Stand by.
41:53Yes, yes, keep coming.
41:58He's going to be on your right-hand side
42:00in three, two, one, now.
42:06He's on the other side of the trees.
42:08Police with a dog, come on now, send the dog.
42:11Coming at you now, mate.
42:13Get out.
42:15Come towards me.
42:18Keep walking.
42:19Keep coming.
42:23With the suspect caught,
42:25the cops hatch a plan to get him back over the high wall.
42:29Got anyone, FSU, or anything with a set of ladders?
42:34I'll just tell you, any movement, any chance to run away,
42:36the dog's coming after you, all right?
42:38Good man.
42:40We've got some ladders, we've got ladders.
42:44Anyone's wondering what the Chuckle Brothers are doing nowadays?
42:47Police officers, they're not only the police.
42:51Timmy!
42:54Right, watch your step down there.
42:57Jump down, mate, no, this way.
42:59This way?
43:00You can go and rest, all right?
43:02You can go and rest at the minute.
43:03If I fail to stop the police, can I drive in as well?
43:10Can you remember us from school or not?
43:12No.
43:13You were my range man.
43:14Oh, yes, you were.
43:15I had to, aye.
43:16Have a good life, me honour.
43:18Why, I look like you.
43:20I look like you.
43:21Now what?
43:22All right, then.
43:23Thanks, man.
43:26And now your face from school.
43:28Trying to beat Grassy's up.
43:51Thank you.
43:53Bye.
44:10Wasn't absolutely class.
44:12That's what you join motor patrols for.
44:14No one's hurt, no cars have been damaged,
44:18someone's been arrested.
44:19you've just got to use what you've got available and handy that there's a paint and decorator
