00:00In Newcastle, PC Mary-Anne Hutchison is making life sweet for a stranded family.
00:18Where have you been today?
00:20Literally just to pick up a cake.
00:22Oh, what kind of cake?
00:24A birthday cake up behind you.
00:26Oh, let's have a look.
00:28Oh, that's excellent.
00:30These cards aren't even what I want.
00:32Oh, no, I've got to make sure your broken car gets fixed.
00:34Oh, thank you.
00:36Yeah, that's everywhere safe, so that's my priority.
00:40It's a lovely cake, actually. I'm quite jealous.
00:43It's a shame they've never offered if we wanted some, like, but, you know.
00:47I'll get some cake in me own time.
00:51UK police forces have been sent over 100,000 dash cam clips.
00:57Exposing the most dangerous drivers on our roads.
01:02All hell has broken loose on our highways.
01:08You learn a lesson? At least it wasn't your test.
01:11We join the motorway cops of Northumbria Police.
01:15Shall we gun? Why, aye, of course we're gunning.
01:19As they drive criminals of the North East off the roads.
01:23Crash, crash, crash.
01:25And put the deadliest drivers behind bars.
01:28Stand still!
01:32You've got to tell us who you are.
01:34I'm a police officer. What do I look like? I'm in fancy dress.
01:36Do whatever you want. Do you want to arrest me? Do it.
01:38And let the dog out, won't you?
01:40I'm getting a little bit bored of you now.
01:42Jazz, bunch of muppets.
01:44Helping them in their battle with idiots behind the wheel.
01:47It's dash cam.
01:49It's vital evidence.
01:51Does everyone have any dash camera?
01:53It's proof that Britain's dumbest drivers...
01:56Bloody idiots.
01:58..are a law unto themselves.
02:01Police 1, criminal nil.
02:11Tonight...
02:13I've got a runner from it, if there's anyone nearby.
02:18..a drunk driver gets a sobering visit.
02:22What do you want from the car?
02:24I plank to every proper car because I love them so much.
02:27Just another police enthusiast.
02:29A superfan's dreams come true.
02:31Will I be able to sound or not?
02:33Nah, don't be daft.
02:37It's all about showing off.
02:39And a boy racer gets some unwanted attention.
02:42That's illegal.
02:44Are you asking a traffic cop whether I'm sure?
02:53Northeast England's roads are steeped in history.
02:57Roots once built for Roman emperors
03:00are now presided over by Northumbria's motorway cops.
03:11And at Follingsby Nick in Washington...
03:14Ooh, that's very close to that dog bone.
03:16..PCs Will Hunter and Martin Anderson
03:19are reigning over the night shift.
03:22We get allocated cars so we can look after them.
03:24This is mine, this is the Skoda. Martin's got one of the Volvo's.
03:27Have you seen this wheel?
03:29You could be my witness before I take it out.
03:31That's fresh, that.
03:33Ooh!
03:34Isn't it? Who's been driving that?
03:36I don't know.
03:37Brand-spankin'-new fresh hit, that.
03:39Well, I'm pleased you've seen it. I'm not getting the blame for that.
03:43I love coming into work at Sprill.
03:45It's just a really good job.
03:48My kids are proud of what I do.
03:50I try to talk them about, like, fun things
03:53and the pursuits and things like that,
03:55cos it's a little bit less gory, isn't it,
03:57than the rest of the things we end up doing in the morning.
04:00I'm a bit of a...
04:02I'm a bit of a...
04:04I'm a bit of a...
04:06I'm a bit of a...
04:08I'm a bit of a...
04:10I'm a bit of a...
04:12I'm a bit of a...
04:14I'm a bit of a...
04:17I'm a bit of a...
04:29It grows on you.
04:34You know, it's great life enforcement.
04:36Helps you know how to stop bars,
04:38so you don't know what you're going to get.
04:48It's been a little bit QT, hasn't it?
04:54We always use the word QT, so we don't actually use the proper word
04:57because if we say that, it goes absolutely ballistic.
05:08Thank God.
05:10Looks like the front offside tyre's totally blown.
05:14Get in the game, man.
05:15It's starting to put its foot down.
05:17It's probably saw us.
05:21It's disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
05:249-2, urgent.
05:30Stand by.
05:32There's a big puff of smoke coming off it.
05:35Well, look at this.
05:37I'm on Paul Watson Way.
05:38There's a BMW I've got running from it, if there's anyone nearby.
05:52Oh, I was drunken.
06:05I must think he's disappeared, hasn't he?
06:20Disappointing.
06:22The black male in the dark-coloured suit has run up towards the allotments.
06:29No, that's not going anywhere.
06:30It's got quite substantial damage to it.
06:32Give us two ticks.
06:34It looks like it's got quite a substantial hit on the front.
06:37I wouldn't be surprised if that's a write-off.
06:40There's a big puff of smoke coming off it.
06:42It's probably because he's trying to drag that front offside wheel.
06:45It's actually quite a powerful car.
06:47It'll probably drag most of the wheels along.
06:50It's got quite a substantial hit on the front.
06:52I wouldn't be surprised if that's a write-off.
06:54It's actually quite a powerful car.
06:55It'll probably drag most of the wheels along.
06:58So he's knocked that back-offside wheel as well.
07:01I would suggest now, from the smell that's inside the car, the state of the car,
07:04it's obviously been involved in a collision.
07:06I've no doubt that the driver's drunk as well.
07:10Have you run after him?
07:12I didn't have them.
07:14It's always better out of breath.
07:16I am out of breath.
07:18Do you have a stitch on the side of your dinner as well?
07:21Made the whole bottom arms drop.
07:23The wheels buckled and it's a good mess.
07:27Have a look.
07:32It's a big kerbstrike, that is.
07:34Wouldn't care, it's a nice looking motor as well.
07:36Keys have gone with it.
07:37Left his phone though.
07:41Will you run us a vehicle check?
07:45You see, the fact he's left the car like this,
07:47the fact that he's took off when we've told him to stop,
07:50he'll have questions to answer around what's happened and why it's happened
07:54and why he's ran off as well.
07:56Like we heard his, like they say, he's probably been drinking.
07:58Tango 90.
07:59Go on.
08:01It's coming back as a BMW 335 in blue.
08:05It's registered.
08:07MOT is in order.
08:08Insurance is held.
08:10The insurance is to the keeper, insured only.
08:14We know who the registered keeper is.
08:16It says he's local.
08:19We'll take the drive back up to the registered keeper's address.
08:22Hopefully we'll come across a gentleman matching the same description.
08:25Mr well-dressed man.
08:27Check the top, a pair of trousers.
08:29I think that's a pair of shoes.
08:37Well, we will knock on the door.
08:39You never know, he might just be thinking he's made good his escape.
08:45He must be moaning off he's been driving up the road on that.
09:10Alright?
09:11Yeah.
09:12How's it going?
09:13Good.
09:25Bad drivers.
09:27Behave like animals on the road.
09:31Competing for territory.
09:37Stalking prey, ready to pounce.
09:40And running for cover in the bush.
09:45The urban jungle may just drive you wild.
09:55BMW, I've got a runner from it.
10:00In Sunderland, Will's tracking down a dangerous driver who's made off.
10:10Alright?
10:11Yeah.
10:12How's it going?
10:13Erm...
10:14What's happening?
10:16Would you like to come in?
10:17I am in.
10:18Why did you run off from the car?
10:20Erm...
10:21Would you like to tell us that?
10:25I'm not saying anything until I have legal representation.
10:28Right, that's fine.
10:29OK, stick your hands out, please.
10:31You're under arrest.
10:32Suspicion of driving whilst unfit to drink or drugs.
10:35OK?
10:36Come on.
10:38Just jump in the back of there, my mate.
10:42So it's definitely our boy.
10:44These shoes he's been wearing when he's legged up,
10:46cos it's got the red bottoms on it.
10:49Got the keys from the back of the door with the BMW key on it.
10:54He just doesn't want to admit that he's actually been drinking and driving
10:57and has tried to be clever about it.
10:59I've got very little patience for it, in all fairness.
11:04You OK there?
11:05Under the circumstances, thank you.
11:07Excellent.
11:08It was kind of you to ask.
11:09What we'll do, when we get you into custody,
11:11we'll get you a pair of, erm...shoes and a pair of tracksuits.
11:15That's OK, thank you. That's very kind of you.
11:19Just follow me.
11:20OK.
11:21OK.
11:22OK.
11:23OK.
11:24OK.
11:25OK.
11:26OK.
11:27OK.
11:28OK.
11:29OK.
11:30OK.
11:31OK.
11:32Just follow me.
11:56Keys for his BMW in the back of his door
11:58and the very distinctive shoes that he was running away in.
12:02They were in the front passage as well when we walked in,
12:05so he just had this very blase attitude around what he's done.
12:15And if you look at the damage to the car,
12:17he's probably very lucky that he hasn't actually killed somebody or hurt somebody.
12:29MUSIC PLAYS
12:35I've put my locker.
12:36I've got some more caffeine, body spray.
12:41Chocolate.
12:43Perfume.
12:44You just don't know when you need to smell good.
12:48Ready to send criminals packing is PC Marianne Hutcherson.
12:55This is my work bag.
12:56This is my work bag with all my kit in.
12:59This is my non-uniform bag which I bring into work with all my things in.
13:04Pink, you know, I'm a girl, I love pink.
13:06I think I add a bit of colour into life.
13:08I don't like plain.
13:14Marianne is hitting the tune for a night shift.
13:18So, most people are in bed.
13:21People who aren't are generally shift workers or criminals.
13:26If something doesn't fit right or something doesn't sit right with me,
13:30I kind of think, well, what's up?
13:32And I'm quite inquisitive like that.
13:35Oh, what's he just pointed at?
13:37He's just pointed at us.
13:39Straight away.
13:40Why did you point at the police?
13:44Vehicle check please, A167.
13:47Yeah, sure, this is Matthew Stills, I have a report.
13:50Sir, I just want to say that I'm not a criminal.
13:52I'm just a taxi driver.
13:55I'm not a criminal.
13:56I've got a licence, I've got a passport.
13:58I'm not a criminal.
13:59I've got a licence.
14:00I'm not a criminal.
14:01Sir Matthew Stilwell has had a report.
14:03He should have filed an MOT order from Rotherham.
14:06Rotherham?
14:10What's he doing?
14:12There's something underneath his car that's dragging on the floor.
14:19I just keep tapping these brake lights.
14:21So it means he's a bit nervous.
14:27Oh, it's excessive braking.
14:32SIREN BLARES
14:38He was prepared for that because he's put his headset straight on.
14:43I'm going to have a chat with him at the roadside here.
14:50Oh!
14:51That doesn't sound good, does it?
14:53My exhaust is in my boot. It fell off.
14:55I've got ideas.
14:56Oh, happy days. Thank you.
14:59God, you're about six.
15:01Came up to Rotherham? Yeah.
15:04OK. So what are you doing all the way up here then?
15:06I've come to see him because he's from up round here.
15:09Right. And when did the exhaust come off?
15:11Literally, like, yesterday.
15:16How do you open the boot?
15:18Ah, it's got a bit of a knack to it. Right.
15:22So have you just driven up from Rotherham yesterday or today like that?
15:25I drove up today. Right.
15:27With your exhaust like that?
15:29Yeah, it's been off.
15:31Before you leave to go back down to Rotherham, I'm hoping it's not now.
15:34No, no, not now.
15:35Tomorrow, take it to a garage and get that fixed
15:37because technically it's in a bit of a dangerous condition.
15:40All right.
15:41Because I would hate for anything to happen to it, all right?
15:45Erm...
15:48Yes, it is.
15:49Seeing that I know it, what are we going to do?
15:51If you want to. Yes.
15:53Am I going to be on your motorway, Cops, and you can go on mine?
15:56He'll love you for that.
15:58You'll get loads of followers now, won't you?
16:00I've been up here all day, like, plenty of times.
16:02I know, I've seen you.
16:03Just another police enthusiast.
16:06He likes flashy lights and police cars, so...
16:09Get his followers in for TikTok.
16:11Will I be able to do psych talks?
16:13Nah, don't be daft.
16:14Don't be daft.
16:15Ha-ha-ha.
16:16Just be daft.
16:17Ha-ha-ha.
16:18Ha-ha-ha.
16:19Ha-ha-ha.
16:20Ha-ha-ha.
16:21Ha-ha-ha.
16:23There you go.
16:28I was, like, following you, following you.
16:31Well, you pointed, you pointed.
16:33Why is he pointed?
16:34I point at every cop I can because I love them so much.
16:37Do you? Aye.
16:38Do you want to join the police when you're older?
16:40Yeah.
16:41You can get back in the car now, you know.
16:43That's a police car, it's better.
16:45Right, OK, mate, no bother.
16:47Right, take care.
16:48Bye-bye.
16:49Bye.
16:53Turn your lights on.
16:55Lights, lights, lights, lights.
16:57There we go.
17:01Yeah, I've got a number one fan.
17:03He says he recognises me from all the amount of time,
17:08the times that he stands outside the police stations
17:11and a cheeky little selfie.
17:13His number one dream is to be in the police,
17:15then, you know, he's got to be in the police.
17:17He's got to be in the police.
17:19He's got to be in the police.
17:21If he's got to be in the police, then, you know,
17:23why not get selfies and stuff?
17:25Because if I wanted to be a singer or whatever,
17:27and I bumped into a singer, I'd want a photograph as well, so...
17:46Quite often, just the sight of a taser on your belt has a reaction.
17:50Hopefully, there'll be no need for use of force.
17:52There's a lot of paperwork involved deploying a taser.
17:57In Newcastle, PC Brian Camsell is fully charged for the night shift.
18:02Jobs are already coming in.
18:04Time to hit the road.
18:09And ever ready to live up to his childhood heroes.
18:13Growing up, I think, it's had to be the bill every day of the week.
18:17It was an amazing programme.
18:19It was half the most complex job, which was solved in 30 minutes.
18:23Yeah, it doesn't happen like that, does it?
18:28Is the Dukes of Hazzard classed as a cop programme?
18:31A little bit, I suppose.
18:33Big, powerful car, doing all the jumps and stunts.
18:37I can just imagine, you know,
18:39all the jumps and stunts.
18:41I can just imagine supervision's face just razzing around in one of those.
18:45Jumping over the central reservation and doing burnouts in the car park.
18:49I think we'd get ourselves into a little bit of trouble.
18:59We're just bringing up a progressive amount of cars showing up
19:03and doing donuts and wheel spins
19:06and there's just more and more appearing.
19:09There's too many to count.
19:11It looks like they're planning on doing something.
19:14We've got a report of possibly 100 cars, 200 people.
19:18Opposite Asda on Whitney Road.
19:20An off-line industrial estate.
19:2512-56, go on.
19:33Yes, yes, I'm just echoing it.
19:44With pumped-up crowds and powerful vehicles,
19:48Brian knows car meets equal chaos.
19:57In Cramlington, Northumberland,
19:59illegal drag racers capture their fast and furious exploits on dashcam.
20:14But as cops cut this dangerous head-to-head short,
20:19the driver of a souped-up Corsa is still looking for pole position,
20:24challenging Brian's fellow Northumbria motorway cops to a race.
20:34The dangerous speed demon drifts between lanes.
20:40He hits a hairpin bend.
20:43Left, left, left. Must be into a dead end.
20:46Then careers off course.
20:49At the cross area to the side of the A1.
20:52But there's no victory lap for this menace of a motorist.
20:57Going for the footbridge.
20:59And he loses a footrace too.
21:06The driver was found guilty of dangerous driving,
21:09driving without insurance
21:11and driving without a licence.
21:13He was jailed for eight months and banned from driving for a year.
21:19The event organiser was found guilty of aiding and abetting careless driving.
21:23He was disqualified from driving for 12 months and fined £600.
21:29The next day.
21:40We've got over 100 cars gathering.
21:43Back in Newcastle, Brian and several other patrols
21:46have been called in to break up an unauthorised car meet.
21:5112-86, I'm just pulling on to the industrial unit now.
22:00It's all about showing off.
22:03A little bit of testosterone flies around.
22:08I think it's big and clever.
22:10Despite the heavy police presence,
22:13some boy racers are still looking for attention.
22:20He's obviously going a bit fast.
22:22He's accelerating, braking, popping and banging.
22:25He's driving a little bit erratically, anti-socially.
22:28He's obviously attracting a little bit of attention to himself.
22:32If they're racing up and down in front of the police vehicle
22:35and we do nothing, it just doesn't send a good message.
22:45So we're going to have a word with him.
22:48Get your driving licence, your keys
22:50and get a seat in the back of my car.
22:52Oh, never.
22:53What have I done?
22:54Jump in the back of the car and I'll explain what the score is.
22:57Oh, daddy!
22:59Get this woman out of my way!
23:04I'm going to have a word with him.
23:06Get your driving licence, your keys
23:08and get a seat in the back of my car.
23:10Oh, never.
23:11What have I done?
23:12Jump in the back of the car and I'll explain what the score is.
23:15I'm going to have a word with him.
23:30Daydreaming drivers are a nightmare.
23:35Head in the clouds,
23:38sense wheels all over the road
23:41and tuning out in traffic
23:45could bring you back down to earth...
23:48Oh, going to be an accident!
23:50..with a bang.
23:52Yeah, you're right.
23:59I've got a report of possibly 100 cars there, 200 people.
24:04At a car meet in Newcastle...
24:11..a dodgy driver has Brian's attention.
24:23Get your driving licence, your keys
24:26and get a seat in the back of my car.
24:28Oh, never.
24:29What have I done?
24:30I'll explain in the back of the car.
24:32Jump in the back of the car and I'll explain what the score is.
24:35Oh, daddy!
24:37Get in the back of the car and I'll explain what the score is.
24:40Oh, daddy!
24:43Excuse me while you get pulled over.
24:49You can't arrest a black guy!
24:57Right, tell us about your driving tonight.
25:00I've just pulled in, mate.
25:01You've just pulled in.
25:02OK, bearing in mind you've already gone past the front of my car,
25:05tell us about your driving.
25:09There's two ways we can do this.
25:11One, we can do it sensibly.
25:13You can own up as about what you've done
25:16and we can deal with it.
25:18Or if you want to go down the other line,
25:20I'll play the footage to a court.
25:23Which would you rather do?
25:25I mean, I'd rather not go to court.
25:27Right, so are we going to be big enough
25:29and own up to what we've done that was silly?
25:31Erm...
25:33I've been driving quite erratic, I'd say.
25:35Yeah, I would as well.
25:36You've come down to a car meet, you didn't know the police was here,
25:39you've started being a silly billy, you're revving the engine,
25:42popping and banging, you've sped off.
25:44It's a little bit silly, isn't it?
25:46Yeah. I mean, it doesn't bang much, but...
25:49But it does pop and bang.
25:50Have you got your driving licence on you?
25:52Yeah, sure.
25:55Vehicle check, please, at this car meet.
25:58Has he got any 15-inch ones?
26:01No, he hasn't.
26:03He's going to get one tonight.
26:06Right.
26:09I literally, I have my sensible high locks
26:12and I bring that, like, on weekends.
26:15Right.
26:16Erm...
26:17That's, like, sort of my baby.
26:22I try and keep myself out of trouble.
26:24I'm going to have a crawl over your car as well.
26:26All right, yeah.
26:27So, when did you last check your tyres on the car?
26:31Erm...
26:35Four ones.
26:36I'm guessing you haven't recently.
26:38No.
26:39Right.
26:40So, if I start crawling around as a vehicle examiner,
26:42am I going to find faults with your car?
26:44Erm, I'm missing the front reg, I've got that there.
26:47I did have double-sided tape for it, but the tape was...
26:50I did have double-sided tape for it, but the tape was...
26:53HE LAUGHS
26:54I'm terrible, man.
26:56You're talking about bullying me, aren't I?
26:59CHEERING
27:02Don't disappear.
27:04The plate is there.
27:06Whereabouts is the plate?
27:08Have you stuck it in the window?
27:10I hope you've not turned your tyres.
27:16The inside edge of the tyres are worn.
27:19What's that say?
27:211.52.
27:23Right, so what's the limit?
27:25No idea.
27:262.5.
27:27Who said 2.5?
27:29LAUGHTER
27:311.6.
27:321.6.
27:33Right, so that's illegal.
27:37Are you asking a traffic cop whether I'm sure?
27:40What's that one say?
27:421.85.
27:44LAUGHTER
27:46Right, so that's illegal.
27:48Always check your tyres.
28:04I'd much rather educate than just start to give tickets out left, right and centre.
28:09I can't say that could have been any fairer.
28:13At least if you're going to challenge a traffic cop, get it right.
28:18MUSIC
28:35This car is very unmarked.
28:37You see some people sometimes when we're driving around,
28:40especially when we're in the unmarked cars,
28:42just think, I'll just do what I want and then it's somebody else's problem.
28:46Up the back of other people, pulling out at junctions
28:49when they can't even see around the corner.
28:51Stupid overtakes on busy roads.
28:54For motorway cop Will, being less visible on the roads can be very revealing.
29:00You see people putting the make-up on, getting changed.
29:04People just think they can just do what they want when they're on the road.
29:08That's the good thing about these cars.
29:16MUSIC
29:24Look at this.
29:29So this car's been rocketing down the 1231.
29:32Now it's all over the road.
29:35He undertakes him here.
29:39Bang, he slams on there.
29:41There's just no need for that.
29:43That's at 9,800.
29:49He's decided to undertake another car.
29:51He's been a little bit miffed off that the car that was in front of him
29:55has been in lane two.
29:56He's stuck his brakes on in front of him to brake-check him.
30:01I hope you're not trying to brake-check me, mate.
30:09His driving's terrible.
30:12Yeah, I have no doubt that he does not think that was a police car behind him,
30:16but it still doesn't dictate that he drives like an absolute idiot.
30:22When motorway cops get behind bad drivers,
30:25the rules of the road go out of the window.
30:31Like this chaotic driver, spotted in Blythe, Northumberland.
30:36As Northumbria officers try to pull him over, he takes off,
30:40straight into oncoming traffic.
30:47A passenger tries to blind the cops with a torch,
30:51but it's not such a bright idea.
30:53And as the police stay on his tail,
30:55the driver takes a desperate shortcut over the pavement,
31:00narrowly avoiding a crash.
31:03He's gone back up to the pothole, mate.
31:09At twice the speed limit, he collides with another car.
31:18The cops stop and deal with the accident.
31:22But the chopper takes over...
31:27..and guides two more cop cars straight to the suspect.
31:33CONTACT!
31:34The driver was found guilty of dangerous driving
31:37and driving without a licence and insurance.
31:45He was sentenced to 14 months in jail, suspended for 18 months...
31:50..and given a curfew for six months.
31:54He was also banned from driving for three years.
31:58That's at 9,800.
32:00He's decided to undertake another car.
32:06Hope you're not trying to brake check me, mate.
32:08Back in Sunderland, a dangerous driver has failed to spot
32:12Will's unmarked cop car.
32:16Will's car is parked on the left-hand side of the road.
32:19Will's car is parked on the right-hand side of the road.
32:22Will's car is parked on the left-hand side of the road.
32:25Will's car is parked on the left-hand side of the road.
32:27By God, they're going to know that we're an unmarked police car
32:29when we'll stick the blue lights on.
32:52See what his excuses are?
32:56Good morning. How are you?
32:58Any reason why you think I might have stopped you?
33:01Probably is the undertake I done.
33:03Yeah, that's one of the reasons.
33:05At one point, when I was very close to you,
33:07we were doing upwards of 96mph,
33:09you were right up the chuff of that car ahead of you.
33:11You then got miffed off that he wasn't pulling the head.
33:14You then undertook.
33:15Can you remember what you done as soon as you got in front of him?
33:18Slammed him. You slammed your brakes on, OK?
33:21You then drove, like I say, nigh on up to 100mph.
33:25And if you were looking in your mirrors,
33:27you would have noticed that there was a car following you at that speed.
33:30Any reason for your driving?
33:32No, well...
33:34Mate, I have bad weeks every single week,
33:36but it doesn't mean I can drive like an idiot, all right?
33:39Have you got your driving licence on you, please?
33:41What's going to happen is,
33:43you're going to be issued with what's called Section 59 warning.
33:47What that means is, if within 12 months
33:49you are stopped in a similar manner again,
33:51you're going to have your car seized, all right?
33:55That's not the end of it.
33:57You're also going to be reported for the offence of speeding.
34:01When I looked down, the last speed I saw was 96mph.
34:05You're also going to be reported for the offence of careless driving.
34:09How many points have you got on your licence?
34:11None. None at the minute.
34:13How long have you had your licence for?
34:15Just under two years.
34:19Am I likely to use my licence? Possibly, yes.
34:22We don't need people driving like that.
34:24If you're having a bad time or things are on your mind,
34:27then slow down.
34:29Not just take it out on everyone else.
34:31Right.
34:44He's running out of his licence for less than two years,
34:47so the likelihood is he could potentially even lose his driving licence
34:51and the only person who he's going to have to blame is himself.
34:57When people are having a bad week or a bad day or whatever,
35:00you're going to have to blame yourself.
35:02You're going to have to blame yourself.
35:04You're going to have to blame yourself.
35:06You're going to have to blame yourself.
35:08You're going to have to blame yourself.
35:10When people are having a bad week or a bad day or whatever it is,
35:13it's not the best place to take it out on the roads
35:18because people do silly things.
35:20You're driving a two-tone weapon, basically.
35:41It's bright this morning.
35:43The blue sky, sunshine,
35:45definitely puts everybody in a good mood for the day.
35:56Brian is revving up for the day shift in Newcastle
35:59and dreaming of trading in his four wheels for two.
36:05The start of the motorbiking season,
36:07the change of the weather definitely brings more bikes out onto the roads.
36:11So this rider looks quite careful and confident.
36:15So I've got a bike myself.
36:17And with the weather changing, it's time my bike came out of the garage.
36:22When you're riding, it's just a freedom.
36:27My partner's working at the regional trauma centre at the hospital.
36:31She doesn't like the bike.
36:34She sees the injuries, you know.
36:39I know I'm going to ride sensibly.
36:41Hopefully, the force of reintroducing motorcycles into our role.
36:47Hopefully, I'll be going through my advanced course.
36:50Can't wait.
36:52MUSIC
37:00I think we'll be staying close to central area today in Newcastle.
37:04It's my area. I like Intersort.
37:07Perhaps a bit speeders, the usual no insurances,
37:10intoxicated drivers, mobile phone offences.
37:14So we just had an ANPR ping for a Vauxhall Corsa with no insurance.
37:21We've got an idea where the register keeper lives.
37:26And the likely route from here is going to be A1 northbound.
37:29So I'll stick my toe down a little bit.
37:31We'll put the blues on and find this vehicle.
37:34Insurance prices are going up every year
37:37because of uninsured drivers.
37:39I don't see why they should be driving around without it.
37:45MUSIC
37:4965, that's the one.
37:53Just need to close the gap a little bit and get it pulled in.
37:58MUSIC
38:01That's the one.
38:02MUSIC
38:04That's the one.
38:05MUSIC
38:07That's the one.
38:08MUSIC
38:10That's the one.
38:11MUSIC
38:13That's the one.
38:14MUSIC
38:16That's the one.
38:17MUSIC
38:48MUSIC
38:52Dashcam brings you the latest breaking news.
38:56With live reports on Britain's bad driving.
39:05Eyewitness accounts.
39:09And drivers making headlines...
39:13..while neglecting to read the road.
39:18MUSIC
39:21So we've just had an EMPR ping for a Vauxhall Corsa with no insurance.
39:29That's the one.
39:33In Newcastle, Brian is stopping a suspected uninsured driver.
39:38MUSIC
39:48You all right?
39:50You turned the ignition off.
39:52Come and have a seat in my car.
39:54Jump in the back left for us.
39:56Go round that side.
39:58Hello.
39:59First time I've ever been stopped off the police.
40:01Is it your car, first of all? It is, yeah.
40:03Perfect. I think you've got a driving licence?
40:05Yes, you know.
40:06So the reason I've stopped you today
40:08is your car's shown as having no insurance.
40:10It's got no insurance.
40:11It's got no insurance.
40:12It's got no insurance.
40:13It's got no insurance.
40:14It's got no insurance.
40:15So the reason I've stopped you today
40:17is your car's shown as having no insurance.
40:19Oh, really? Yeah.
40:21Sometimes it's a mistake.
40:23You know, there's errors.
40:25So I've just insured it for the day-to-day.
40:27Right.
40:29Trying to get my emails up, but I can't get on anything.
40:32Don't know whether it's a signal or what.
40:37If you don't have insurance,
40:39what happens, you see, is we take the car.
40:41So if you've got it, I'd rather spend the extra time now
40:44rather than just taking it off you.
40:46While you're looking for that, I'll do another inquiry
40:49just in case you can't find it.
40:51So all the insurance companies report to, like, a central office
40:55known as the Motor Insurance Bureau.
40:57Hopefully it's just not come through on the system yet
41:00and they come back and say it's all in order.
41:04Can I take your shoulder number?
41:06Certainly. It's 1286.
41:08Thank you. Is that Officer Camfield?
41:10It is.
41:11Who does the driver believe they've got cover with?
41:13Insure Daily.
41:15EMI signal's terrible. I can't get on anything.
41:21No cover in place with Insure Daily today.
41:24OK.
41:26I do have a little bit more information
41:28if you want to and want me to pass.
41:31Er, two seconds.
41:34Yeah, right, I'm here now. Go ahead.
41:44Right.
41:47OK. No problem. Thank you very much.
41:51Right. So they've basically come back and confirmed
41:54that you've got no cover in place.
41:56They've got records of when you try and take policies out
42:00and it tells me you've tried to take a policy out
42:03while you've been stopped here at the roadside.
42:05Oh, me!
42:07They are going to seize the vehicle
42:09under Section 165 of the Road Traffic Act.
42:11Like I say, that's stupidity on my part.
42:17Yeah, I could kick myself.
42:19Have you got your car key?
42:21Yeah.
42:22Can I pinch the key off you? Thank you.
42:26You know, some people do tell us the truth,
42:29but she knows she hasn't had a policy caught out on this occasion.
42:42Hopefully the recovery truck's on its way.
42:50Two vehicles that were stolen overnight.
42:53Looks like they're possibly abandoned.
42:55South Denton.
42:57That's the area commander.
42:59If there aren't any officers in that area, try to secure it.
43:03I want recovery here.
43:09Hi, this is Brian from the police.
43:11Do you know if your vehicle's far off?
43:13No, it's 87 minutes away.
43:15OK, thank you.
43:17While we're waiting for recovery,
43:19I'm going to go and find a couple of stolen cars.
43:21So seven minutes was what it took for recovery.
43:26So I've probably got seven minutes to find these cars.
43:33With those vehicles now.
43:37Both locked secure, no damage.
43:39Just around the back of the vehicle.
43:41I'm going to go and find a couple of stolen cars.
43:43I'm going to go and find a couple of stolen cars.
43:45I'm going to go and find a couple of stolen cars.
43:47I'm going to go and find a couple of stolen cars.
43:49No damage.
43:50Just around the back, next to a couple of garages.
43:53Nice little tip-off from a member of the public.
43:56Yeah, I think we've got two minutes left.
44:06There's two stolen cars down there.
44:08I nicked in a burglary last night.
44:12That's a good result. I'd rather run around a little bit.
44:15Hopefully there's going to be a victim there
44:18that's overjoyed that the cars have been recovered.
44:21I'm happy to do little bits and pieces like that.
44:24It's boring sitting in one place.
44:33If you have any dashcam clips you think could feature
44:36in the next series of Motorway Cops,
