00:00Right, so you've come through on the green and she's trying to cut straight across?
00:07Yeah, straight across, didn't stop.
00:09I don't think I hit her, it was more the scooter and she was launched off the scooter.
00:15In Sunderland, PC Martin Anderson is at a collision between a bus and a scooter.
00:23What contact have you had with the bus?
00:25I don't know, but I didn't stop last night.
00:28Who do you think was at fault then?
00:31Probably me, I don't know.
00:33There's no injuries, she's been really, really lucky that she hasn't went under the bus, to be honest.
00:38Have you got a contact number?
00:39I can't see me numbers properly.
00:42You didn't see the bus neither.
00:46Bad drivers, beware.
00:49If the cops don't catch you, dashcam will.
00:52With 25,000 traffic convictions a year, down to your cameras, Britain's deadliest drivers have nowhere left to hide.
01:04Here we go.
01:05And, on the front line...
01:09It's contact.
01:11...are our motorway cops.
01:13Are we going?
01:13Why, aye, of course we're going in.
01:16We join Northumbria Police.
01:18You're not getting a selfie with us, no?
01:19I've just took your car off you.
01:21...as they chase down dangerous drivers.
01:24What are you?
01:24Mate, you're all bladded.
01:25You've had a drink, haven't you?
01:26I've had two.
01:27And get the worst offenders...
01:29Did they do what I've just done with Stu Kennedy?
01:31But I nearly got away.
01:33Nearly got away, but you didn't.
01:34Off our roads.
01:36Do you know how they're good?
01:38Yeah.
01:39Anything I do see may be given in evidence, Mr. Officer.
01:42Helping them in their battle with idiots behind the wheel...
01:47...is dashcam.
01:48Have you seen the dashcam footage?
01:50It's vital evidence...
01:51So, you're drifting.
01:53...and proof...
01:53...that Britain's dumbest drivers...
01:57What are you, Dan?
01:57...are a law unto themselves.
02:00Police 1, criminal 0.
02:09Tonight...
02:10Let's shake the tree and see what comes out.
02:13We're just overhead there now.
02:15The driver of a stolen car cautions the cops...
02:18You're putting my life into danger.
02:20Are you careless driving?
02:21I wouldn't trust your judgment on driving...
02:24...because I haven't got a license...
02:25...and you're under the influence of cocaine.
02:27A suspect refuses her right to remain silent.
02:32Anything I do see may be given in evidence, Mr. Officer.
02:35Right.
02:36And I'm telling you now, this is my evidence.
02:41And a breathtakingly bad manoeuvre...
02:43...ends with a mugshot.
02:45You're all on photo.
02:47No, I'm not...
02:47You're not getting a selfie with this.
02:48No.
02:49I've just took your car off you.
02:51Northumberland has more castles than any other county in England.
03:08And it's the role of Northumbria Police to hold the fort.
03:15Tango 1286-0.
03:17At Eatle Lane Station in Newcastle, the road's policing unit are preparing for battle.
03:22The weather's nice.
03:26It's got the potential for being a busy one, I think.
03:29Former electronics engineer, PC Brian Camsall...
03:32See ya.
03:33Love you.
03:35...is used to getting positive results.
03:41Pride of the fleet today.
03:42The nice Volvo V60.
03:44One of the beasts of the fleet.
03:45A little tight squeeze.
03:52It's not the fastest in the fleet, but quicker than my own car.
03:56The cars themselves do attract some petrol heads and motor patrols.
04:00But it was always more about the role for myself, the stop and the bad guy.
04:05It's a tool at the end of the day, but definitely get attached to it.
04:10It's sort of the baby.
04:15Car checked, kitted, and out on the road.
04:20Absolutely love the outdoors.
04:22To be out all day, every day, as you're in the office, enjoying what you love doing.
04:28Yeah, I think that's rewarding in itself.
04:32Every day, for me, I want to get out and get stuck back in.
04:35See what else I've been finding and unturned, uncover.
04:38Northumbria, please come here, help.
04:54This was a report of Longblassie.
04:56She's drinking a bottle of wine as she's driving.
04:59Out the wheel?
05:00Yep, perhaps that you're whacked off, don't be asleep.
05:02I've put it through as a priority response.
05:12It's eight o'clock in the morning, and we've got a report of a drink driver drinking a bottle of wine.
05:19Absolutely ridiculous.
05:23I'm happy to go out hunting for these people, try and get them stuck.
05:26I'm happy to go out hunting for these people, try and get them stuck.
05:56I'm happy to go out and get them stuck.
06:02Intelligence we get is just absolutely invaluable.
06:06Members of the public themselves know how dangerous it is, and that's why they do report the intoxicated drivers.
06:12We wouldn't get the results we do get without them.
06:14There it is.
06:27There it is.
06:27That's Fiat 500.
06:35That's not the one.
06:38Where has this vehicle gone?
06:39Drink drivers are my petty.
06:47I struggle at times to get my head around why people actually do these or commit these offences.
06:52To have so many that you're drunk and still get in a car, blown way over the limit.
07:01Being in this job, I see the devastation and destruction.
07:05It is scary.
07:08Motorway cops will do whatever it takes to stop drink drivers causing carnage on our roads.
07:14In North Tyneside, a drink driver in a Ford is failing to stop for Northumbria police.
07:23Unable to drive in a straight line, he speeds down the centre of a dual carriageway.
07:28The cops put another patrol in front, in a bid to slow the boozed-up motorist down.
07:34Swerving all over the road, the officers take drastic action.
07:41Using tactical contact to bring the driver to a stop.
07:49The suspect escapes.
07:53But doesn't get far.
07:56He was found guilty of drink driving, dangerous driving, driving without a licence and driving without insurance.
08:02He was jailed for one year and given a two-year driving ban.
08:16Clearly I want to get a car stopped that's driving and potentially intoxicated.
08:23Back in Newcastle, Brian is on the hunt for a driver, spotted drinking a bottle of wine at the wheel.
08:32That's what, that's the car I'm looking for.
08:39286, I found that drink driver, it's parked up on Kingston Park roundabout.
08:45The vehicle is stationary at the moment.
08:47If I go past the car, they'll start cutting them off.
08:59So I'm going to try and find somewhere to park up and keep an eye on it.
09:02Yeah, there's movement, not the car.
09:17The purring of an engine is music to some driver's ears.
09:33But to others, the sounds on Britain's roads are like an out-of-tune orchestra.
09:41With an unforgettable horn section.
09:48Strings failing to find the right note.
09:54And repercussions when you hit the triangle at the wrong time.
09:58All together, creating a bittersweet symphony.
10:03Help! I'm so sorry, I'm just cleaning your car.
10:07It's the fault of the car behind me.
10:09I'm so sorry!
10:18That's the car I'm looking for.
10:22286, I found that drink driver.
10:24In Newcastle, Brian has tracked down a car reported to have a woman swigging wine behind the wheel.
10:38Hello!
10:39Good yourself?
10:42I'm just going to first of all take possession of those keys.
10:45My concern is somebody's been driving it while he's drunk.
10:49I'm off me, I'm not dealing with it.
10:51Right, do you just stay here?
10:52286, do you want to come down and hurry up?
10:55Let go, I'm not going to run.
10:57Well, I think you are.
10:59I didn't go to run, did I? I just went to leave.
11:06Is it your car then, when you're sitting in the driver's seat?
11:09I'm going to be driving it though.
11:10Right.
11:11Registered and sure to you.
11:13Yeah.
11:13Fully checked, fully taxed, fully MOT.
11:17Don't want the passengers to die.
11:20That's the problem.
11:20Just watch the road when you go around the other side.
11:24Don't get cautious, maybe not.
11:27Can I see your driving licence?
11:28No, I don't know.
11:29I won't have no driving.
11:30What?
11:30Who's driving then?
11:31It's hers.
11:32He's driving for away though.
11:34He never drove.
11:35So who's going to drive away from here though?
11:36Nobody.
11:37Nobody.
11:38Not now.
11:38Not now the Roses are here.
11:43Right.
11:44What I'm going to do is I'm going to require you to provide a sample of breath for alcohol
11:48analysis because I believe you've been the driver.
11:52Take a deep breath and blow up until I tell you to stop.
11:54Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going.
11:56Stop there.
11:56It's thinking about it.
12:01And at the minute that's a fail of 85.
12:03Quite a bit over more than double.
12:05I am going to arrest you.
12:06Why are you arresting me?
12:06Anything you do say is driving your car.
12:08Otherwise they're going to seize the car.
12:09So the information I've got.
12:11I have been driving.
12:14Love you, baby.
12:15I love you.
12:18I've failed now, right?
12:21I may have been driving earlier.
12:22It doesn't mean to have a **** driving earlier.
12:24Does it, Dave?
12:25A bit, a little bit chaotic for five minutes there.
12:33Please hurry up.
12:34We're not far from custody now.
12:35Oh, I know.
12:36We're not far from custody.
12:38There's a huge amount of...
12:39Do you want us to explain what happens at custody?
12:40No, I know what happens at custody.
12:42I just want to hurry up.
12:44Oh, you know what the **** is off though?
12:46What's that?
12:46I get in this style and that, right?
12:48And I'm like, can I have a book or a magazine or a newspaper?
12:51Like I.
12:52And then 45 minutes later, it's still not there for you.
12:55Right.
12:57What have I actually been nicked for?
12:59Because the keys weren't in the vehicle in the ignition.
13:03I was in the passenger seat.
13:04I'll just stop you there.
13:05We're not going to discuss it in the car.
13:06I won't discuss it.
13:07Anything I do see it may be given an evidence.
13:09That's exactly why.
13:10I'm not going to...
13:11And I'm telling you now.
13:12I don't want to constitute as an interview because you want to breathe.
13:14I was never driving when I was drunk.
13:15Simple as nick me for drunk driving.
13:19Kind of deal with all.
13:21I've never, ever, ever drunk drove in my life.
13:24I wouldn't do it.
13:25I don't agree with it.
13:26I hate it.
13:26Uh-huh.
13:27You could kill anybody.
13:28You could knock somebody over.
13:30You could kill a bear and not know.
13:33It's horrible.
13:33That was a very long, drawn-out process.
13:55Not quite the straightforward drink drive I was hoping for this time in the morning.
14:00With lie after lie.
14:01Who was driving?
14:03Yes, I was.
14:04No, I wasn't, so to speak.
14:05Yeah.
14:07Hard work, shall we say.
14:08A little bit tiring.
14:11But ultimately, got to the bottom of it.
14:13And it's police one at the end of the day.
14:16Driver nil.
14:17We've had a little incident on the little ride into work.
14:40I've had this water bottle for five years.
14:42It's sadly leaked all over me clothes.
14:46Began straight in the bin, I think.
14:48Doesn't deserve to hang around with me anymore.
14:51I've put a bit of aftershave on it just to try and freshen it up a little bit.
14:55But it's probably just going to make it worse.
14:58I only buy cheap aftershave.
15:02So heat us on in the car and try and dry out a little bit.
15:06With 14 years in the force, PC Jamie Leslie has plenty of experience sniffing out crime.
15:13I suppose best can do some graft.
15:17One of the best things about being a traffic cop for me is I don't have to have someone saying,
15:24Oh, go down this road.
15:26Go down that road.
15:26And I get a lot of satisfaction from having a good result based on where you've placed your car
15:32when you've used your cop as nose a bit.
15:43Right, I think we'll have a quick look at this Corsa.
15:51He's quite an old-looking car, this.
15:54And I can see he's got a sat-nav glowing right in the middle of his windscreen there.
15:57So possibly a delivery driver here.
15:59We'll see if he's got the correct level of insurance.
16:02Tango, 10 per feet.
16:05Began, check please.
16:06Station road walls in.
16:08Yeah, confirm.
16:10Pulling back is still the Corsa.
16:12What level of insurance have you got in there?
16:15SD&P, including competing.
16:19Received, thank you.
16:33Hello, mate.
16:34Yes, sir.
16:34How are you?
16:35Good.
16:36Just a quick one.
16:37Is this your car, is it?
16:38Yeah.
16:39Ah, right.
16:39Are you delivering food or anything like that?
16:41No, no, I'm taking food to my home.
16:43Can I have just a quick look at it, because that smells really strongly?
16:48This for me.
16:49Is it?
16:50Yeah.
16:51How come it's in a pizza delivery bag?
16:52Yeah, my friend, he's working there.
16:54Right.
16:55And you're delivering the food for him?
16:57Not now, sir.
16:59I don't believe you.
17:01Tango, 10 per feet.
17:02Can I just get a check on the driver of this one, please?
17:05He's got glasses contact lenses.
17:07Mark is showing.
17:09Received, thank you.
17:10Do you usually wear glasses while driving?
17:12Yeah, I have glasses.
17:13Where are they?
17:16Good.
17:17Too sorely.
17:17Your foot's on the accelerator.
17:22Yeah, I have glasses.
17:23Right.
17:24You should be wearing your glasses.
17:26That's why I just remove them.
17:29Well, no, night time is when you should be wearing them.
17:32I can read, sir.
17:34If you just tell me that, I can read without black.
17:38Seat.
17:38S-E-E-A-T.
17:39Well, yeah, because that's in massive writing on the side of the Seat garage.
17:42We could all identify that's probably going to say Seat.
17:45Right.
17:45You just step out of the car for us.
17:46I'm just going to do a quick eyesight test with you.
17:48Just follow me over here, please.
17:50Just down this way.
17:52Just take your glasses off for us.
17:55Okay.
17:55Can you read the registration plate on my car?
17:58MN22FMV.
18:01Try with your glasses.
18:07See why we wear glasses?
18:09Yeah, sorry, sir.
18:11Just come and have a sit in the back of my car.
18:13I've got to do some paperwork.
18:15Someone's going to be getting a cold pizza.
18:21Sir.
18:23Excuse me, sir.
18:24Mm-hmm.
18:26Glasses I am always using, sir.
18:27But you haven't been using them when you've been driving.
18:29When you switch on your light now, that's why I'm so, I'm afraid.
18:35That's why I just removed my glass.
18:37No.
18:37You are, you're lying now.
18:39All right.
18:40No, sir.
18:40You are lying.
18:41All right.
18:41If you wish to dispute it, that's absolutely fine.
18:44Is we'll go to court, okay?
18:45No, sir.
18:46And we'll have the magistrate to hear out that evidence then.
18:48Sir, please, please, please.
18:49Okay?
18:49Sir, please, I beg you.
18:51Please, sir.
18:51No, listen to me.
18:52I investigate fatal road traffic collisions.
18:55All right?
18:56If you were found to have hit someone and you're supposed to be wearing your glasses and they die,
19:01Oh.
19:02You're in trouble.
19:0318 years, I was on driving.
19:05I didn't...
19:06I'm sure you are a brilliant driver when you've got your glasses on.
19:08No, no, no.
19:08I'm just saying, yeah, yeah.
19:12Sir, don't angry with me, sir, please.
19:15If I lie, I'm sorry, sir, because...
19:17And don't lie to me.
19:18No, no, I don't want to make lies, sir, because...
19:20Well, you do, because you're telling them.
19:22You are a good officer.
19:24Please do some favour for me, sir.
19:26No, because it's not one rule for one person, one rule for another, okay?
19:29Okay.
19:29You need delivery insurance.
19:33No, but, see, today I tried to take my delivery insurance, sir.
19:39So you knew you had to have it?
19:41I got, quote, £240, so I thought tomorrow I will take.
19:45Well, now look where that's got you.
19:47But I had money problem, you know, sir.
19:49Too much money problem.
19:51Yeah, I appreciate that you're just trying to earn money.
19:53I totally get it.
19:54But there would have been an even more expensive money problem for you if you were to hit someone.
19:58Everybody's paying, so I should pay.
20:00Yes, sir.
20:01Yes.
20:02Sir, one more thing.
20:03Tomorrow if I take delivery insurance, can I drive?
20:06Yes.
20:07Okay.
20:08And one more question.
20:09Getting this penalty, it will affect my licence in my future, you know?
20:14If you get a, like, a speeding ticket with three points, then you could get disqualified from driving.
20:19Oh, f***.
20:20So, one more thing.
20:23How can I manage this, sir?
20:24Just drive legally?
20:26Legally.
20:28Sir, one more question.
20:31Not question, my dog.
20:32How many questions are these?
20:34How do you know I am doing this delivery job or something?
20:38You've got a big sat-nav in the middle of your car.
20:41You couldn't tell your friend's address.
20:43Ah.
20:44You had a pizza box.
20:45Oh.
20:46Your car stinks of takeaways.
20:49It's called the cop has nose.
20:51Oh, sir, very bad luck for me.
20:53What to do?
20:54I'm guessing that's the pizza we're going to get delivered now, but only a delay of about 35 minutes.
21:22I wouldn't be too happy if my pizza got intercepted by the police en route.
21:28Couldn't make it up, could you?
21:34Everyone has to have insurance for whatever they're doing.
21:38Builders, plumbers, taxi drivers.
21:41The annoying thing was he knew that he needed to have that insurance.
21:45And then further still, he's supposed to have glasses when he's driving.
21:49He's got the glasses in the car, which is brilliant, but they should be on his head.
21:52There was a million and one questions getting fired at us, despite it just being one more question.
21:59I think you need to stop talking so much and start listening.
22:04Or as my old school teacher said, you've got two ears and one mouth.
22:08Use them in the same manner.
22:09Morning, you all right?
22:23Yeah, not bad, are you?
22:25Good.
22:26PC Mary-Anne Hutchison used to work at Newcastle Airport.
22:31A woman can never have too many bags.
22:34So, she knows all about luggage and first class cabins.
22:39I like to make sure my car is nice and clean.
22:42Some things that were found in police cars are just disgusting.
22:45Not in the traffic cars, but when I was on a different shift.
22:48There's coffee cups with moulding, like disposable coffee, and it stinks.
22:54I got into my car once and it smelled like a bin.
22:58But mine's nice and clean, so I'm happy about that.
23:03Baggage loaded and exits checked.
23:06Today, she's flying south to the streets of Gateshead.
23:09It seems like a good start of the morning.
23:13It's lovely and sunny.
23:15Roads are dry.
23:16Weather's nice and fine.
23:18Let's see which car's picking my in-rest.
23:20So, there's a car up ahead, which I've spotted displaying a partial registration, so I'm going
23:34to get it stopped, have a bit of a crack with him, and find out why he's blocking the last
23:39three letters.
23:40Because, to me, that would be a bit bizarre.
23:45I think he's got a brake right out as well.
23:46Oh, no, he's not going to do a right when he's in the left-hand lane, is he?
23:55He can't drive here.
23:59Yep.
24:01He can only turn right in this lane, but he's indicating left.
24:05He can't drive at all.
24:12What are you going to do?
24:13No, he's not.
24:17I'm going to turn my bruising to the kitten left.
24:19Thanks, mate.
24:31In the future, artificial intelligence could drive us all round the bend.
24:38Many motorists are already on autopilot, and any glitch can land you in a ditch.
24:52It's not always the answer to turn off and turn back on again.
24:56For now, it's the lack of intelligence on our roads that leaves us thinking.
25:03AI, what's that driver up to?
25:06What was that?
25:07I was like, **** that one.
25:17I'm going to turn my bruising to the kitten left.
25:23Shotgun driving.
25:25In Gateshead, Mary-Anne has just witnessed a near miss at a busy city centre junction.
25:32certification.
25:32If you happen to find a bus here, it's a very Muriel.
25:33Is there a bus somewhere?
25:40Yes.
25:44What's that road?
25:46W�� is not?
25:47We're speeding.
25:48When hear from Dad's that boat?
25:49No, no, no.
25:50We're on fire.
25:51We're on fire.
25:52And we're on fire!
25:53What's the air?
25:55We're on fire.
25:55We're on fire on fire.
25:56We're on fire.
25:57registration plate's not displayed properly. Is the handbrake on? Handbrake? On.
26:03What is it? Handbrake.
26:10No. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Right. Stinks of tabs. Cigarettes. Lots of them.
26:17Just take a seat in there for now. I'll get some titles off you. Sit down.
26:23Right.
26:24Why is your eyes all bloodshot? Hmm?
26:30Your eyes are bloodshot and your pupils are quite small, which would indicate that you may be under the influence of drugs.
26:37When was the last time you smoked cannabis or took drugs? No.
26:43You don't take drugs? No.
26:45Well, I'm going to ask for a specimen of saliva to test for any drugs on you.
26:50Yeah. Yeah? Cool. Brilliant. Okay. Stick your tongue out.
26:53No tongue out. Ha-ha.
27:07Well, that's good. You don't take drugs. No drugs. That's fine, okay. Tango 8902.
27:13Bagel check, please.
27:14How long have you had that car? It's not my car, it's my press.
27:15My friend tell me, bring it here. Go to post a coffee.
27:16Well, you're kind of cos you're not insured on it. I'm sorry. It's okay. Can I have a driving check and a DL, please?
27:32I'm getting no hit on any fire.
27:34You haven't got a driving licence. Is that correct? Yeah. Okay. I'm going to seize the car and then you can go. Okay. Yeah?
27:48Okay. Okay. Don't drive. Please. I'm sorry. It's okay. Just don't drive. Please. One photo.
28:04No, I'm not. You're not getting a selfie with us. No. I've just took your car off you.
28:09I'm sorry. You're not getting a selfie. No. Definitely not.
28:11It's one photo. No, you're not getting a photo with us.
28:14Oh, yeah. No. No.
28:18Right. See you later.
28:24Stood all over me yoghurt. And me ham sandwich. Oh, man. I've salvaged me Cadbury yoghurt though. That's the main thing.
28:32Yeah, it's fake.
28:34Totally not!
28:37So!
28:47Normally you say, you know, sarcastically, another happy customer but, actually,
28:49he was a happy customer, so happy that, he wanted a selfie.
28:53Which I don't think I've ever had before whilst, er, taking someone's car off them.
28:57But, you know, there's a first for everything, isn't there?
29:00People are just funny, aren't they?
29:03Me and his dear.
29:16Just getting it all set up.
29:18I've got to get the systems locked on, get my seat set up, get my mirror set right.
29:24I'm probably the most particular of anyone when it comes to it.
29:26It's got to be perfect, like, I've got to reach that zen state.
29:28And I kind of do it if the wheel's up here.
29:31At Eatle Lane Nick in Newcastle, PC Chris Kemp is at one with his car and the universe.
29:40Well, that far north, up here in Northumberland area, sometimes you have nights around.
29:44It never truly gets dark.
29:47It's just lovely.
29:49I mean, when you look at the skies like this, you know what I mean?
29:52The beautiful hues, you know, the variation in the colour, the gradation is just wonderful.
29:57It's so fantastic that whatever's happening in front of you on the road is just immaterial, boring, really.
30:03I just want to sit and look at the sky all night.
30:05But we can't, because we've got a job to do.
30:06That'll be one one.
30:22Just a Vieto check, please, on Scottswood Road.
30:23Typical traffic coppers spot on a night.
30:36It's registered an insured to a female, but I could have sworn it was a male driver.
30:40I don't want to use the term mobile skip, but it's got mismatched tyres, you know, the bodywork's damaged and dented.
30:49It's got a new exhaust on it, because the exhaust looks like the freshest thing on the back of it.
30:56It's just the sort of thing that I really want to have a bit of a look at to see if it's actually roadworthy.
31:00Let's shake the tree and see what comes out.
31:11All right, sir, are you insured to drive this car, sir, are you?
31:14As far as I'm aware, I am.
31:15There's only a female insured on it.
31:17Oh.
31:20Have you got no separate policy, have you not?
31:22No.
31:23Right.
31:24It's the girlfriend's part.
31:26All right.
31:26How have you come to that conclusion?
31:36Are you actually insured to drive it or not?
31:38Like, have you seen a certificate with your name on that says...
31:40No, I haven't.
31:41You haven't?
31:42No.
31:42Ding-dong.
31:45The reason I stopped you in the first place is just because, obviously, the car is like a rolling restoration project.
31:50Yeah.
31:51So I'm going to have a bit of a poke around the car just to make sure it's actually roadworthy.
31:54There's no hazards or anything dangerous with it, not that I need to be aware of.
31:58It's not going to...
31:59No, I can live with junk.
32:02You probably wouldn't believe this if I told you it looks better underneath than it does on top.
32:07It's the end of this anti-roll bar here.
32:10It's like, this is supposed to be connected to that, and it's not supposed to do this.
32:15It's just hanging free.
32:16Right, I'm prohibiting the use of this vehicle on a road because it's got a serious defect.
32:25I'm going to give you the paperwork that you're going to need to get the car released.
32:27Don't wander off without these, because if you go without these, the car will end up getting scrapped,
32:31and then I'm sure your lass will hit the roof.
32:32She's going to hit the roof anyway.
32:34Yeah.
32:36Such is life.
32:37You off to work, are you?
32:38Yeah.
32:38Where's that?
32:39Right factory.
32:40All right.
32:42I'm going to ask your boss for a raise.
32:44Yeah.
32:44A raise.
32:47Ha!
32:47Do you get it?
32:51Tell him you need more dough.
32:54Yeah.
32:55I'm here all week.
32:56There's nothing about tatty bangers that are illegal, but if the car looks tatty, I probably want to have a look at it to determine whether or not it's roadworthy,
33:20and that's when all the skeletons in your closet tumble out and land at your feet, you know, and the fault of that one might have escaped most people.
33:28Nothing escapes me.
33:29Make sure your documents are right, make sure your car's roadworthy, and you and I won't fall out or something.
33:38Got up, I was planning on a long lie-in.
33:55I like to sleep a little bit later when I'm on night shifts, but my partner was on a team's meeting for our work, and she wasn't being quiet.
34:04In Sunderland, it's Jamie's second night shift, and it's a case of eat, sleep, and hope it doesn't repeat.
34:14So, I trapped myself, went for a bit of mince and dumplings, old school, just like your grandma made, honestly.
34:25You want loads of salt in it, dead beefy, in the biggest dumpling you can find, bigger than my head, which is difficult.
34:35But aye, and then quick coffee and out on the road, it's been a canny day, sets you up right for the night.
34:44So, we're just on our way to, uh, activation of a stolen motor vehicle, a stolen golf in the, uh, Sunderland area.
35:13The vehicle, I feel the stuff, um, it's sighted, it's got as soon as possible, all tactical off the rise.
35:23It's previously failed to stop by Durham officers, so we're expecting that this might turn into the suit,
35:28so we're just getting, uh, as many tactical units down there as we can.
35:33With car effects at an all-time high, motorway cops have to be ready for anything.
35:38In Tameside, thieves in a stolen car are making off from Greater Manchester Police.
35:50Hurtling through a housing estate, they hit dangerously high speeds.
35:54As the cops close in, the car pulls over.
36:00Turn the vehicle off!
36:02Turn it off!
36:04But it's all a game, and criminals race off.
36:08Flying through a red light.
36:15Before slowing down again.
36:17After ditching their cargo, the driver continues the chase.
36:27But as she meets a dead end, the cops finally catch her.
36:33The driver pleaded guilty to dangerous driving and theft, and was sentenced to 16 months in prison,
36:39suspended for two years, a 35-day rehab program, and disqualified from driving for 18 months.
36:46The passenger pleaded guilty to burglary, and aggravated vehicle taking,
36:52and was given 20 months in jail, suspended for two years, 100 hours of unpaid work,
36:58banned from driving for 12 months, and given a 30-day rehab program.
37:12This might be a tear, actually.
37:16In Sunderland, Jamie is on the hunt for a stolen car.
37:20Tango 1050.
37:21I don't know if I've just had a sight of that Golf just coming on the 183.
37:25See if I can pick it up again.
37:27Might have it.
37:30We'll give it a shot.
37:32Stand by.
37:33I think I'm behind it.
37:36Not cancelled.
37:37Very similar.
37:38Close, but no cigar.
37:39Unfortunately, Golf's are one of the most common car, aren't they?
37:46Get them a pass over here.
37:52Yeah, pass.
37:53We should be till on.
37:55Get your chop line, fly it down your hand now.
37:58We've got a kind of few tactical units have came to the area, and we've got a few Stingers
38:05set up.
38:06We've got some firearms cops who are going to use their Stinger capabilities.
38:10So we've got plenty of eyes in the area.
38:13We should find it.
38:18It's getting frustrating now.
38:19It was important to get there quite quick,
38:49so I wouldn't get hold of the driver.
38:57We've got it.
39:14We clock up thousands of miles a year behind the wheel.
39:18But driving is all about timing.
39:23Some drivers are too early, which is alarming.
39:30Others arrive late and in a hurry.
39:33It's not a smart watch.
39:35And when every second counts, people can get wound up.
39:46Drivers caught on dash cam are left wishing they could simply turn back time.
39:51In Sunderland, a force-wide hunt for a stolen car has led Jamie to a car park.
40:14One patrol has the vehicle.
40:22And the driver has made a getaway to the takeaway.
40:29Hello, mate, is that your golf out there, is it?
40:32No, mate.
40:32You've been driving it?
40:34I've been driving.
40:34Just take your hand out of your pocket.
40:36Place your hands behind your back, please.
40:44Is that your car?
40:45No, it's not my car.
40:46My friend bought that car.
40:48Have you got the keys for it?
40:49Yes.
40:49Right, okay.
40:50Jump in the back of there for us for two minutes.
40:54Have you got a driver's license?
40:56No, I don't drive.
40:58Why, you got a car key on you then?
40:59Friend of mine is driving.
41:01Where's he?
41:02He went to his house down the corner.
41:04Why does he give you the key?
41:05Because I wanted to drive.
41:06I'll keep it sitting in the car.
41:08Right, okay.
41:09If you just kick your legs in for us.
41:13That car's stolen.
41:14All right.
41:15You're saying it's stolen?
41:16Yeah.
41:17I'll buy and sell.
41:17If you haven't got a driver's license,
41:19then why are you buying and selling cars?
41:21Make a little money.
41:23How are you moving the cars?
41:26People around me with the license?
41:30Yeah.
41:33These are all your phones?
41:35Yes.
41:36How many phones do you need?
41:38One is for the old friend, one is for the wife.
41:41And what's the third one for?
41:44Third one for all these companies.
41:45Right, okay.
41:51I've got a power under Section 6 of the Road Traffic Act 1988
41:53to take a preliminary specimen of saliva from you
41:56because I suspect that you've been driving that vehicle.
41:59Okay, what I need is just a quick swab from the inside of your mouth.
42:02Okay.
42:03Just stick your tongue out for us.
42:07Have you had any cannabis or cocaine to do?
42:10I'll tell you that.
42:12Well, have you?
42:12Is that a yes, then?
42:18Right.
42:18I'm arresting you on suspicion of theft of motor vehicle
42:21and also driving whilst unfit through cocaine showing up in your system.
42:27Have you got anything in your pockets you shouldn't have?
42:35No more things, pee and crap.
42:38What's that?
42:39Cocaine.
42:41Right, I'll see you in a bit.
42:42You know, you're driving not safely.
42:52Excuse me?
42:54You're putting my life in a danger.
42:57Are you driving, careless driving?
42:59I wouldn't trust your judgment on driving.
43:01I'm a professional driver.
43:03Well, you're not because you haven't got a license
43:04and you're under the influence of cocaine.
43:07You're not putting your attention to the road ahead.
43:10Okay.
43:12Do you know how they're called?
43:16Okay, sir.
43:19Okay.
43:19Okay.
43:19Okay.
43:40It's been a bit of an update, so I've arrested the lads when he's been in the takeaway.
43:48He's seen me coming in and quickly stuffed something in the bag that we didn't know.
43:54And there's been several quite big packets of crack cocaine in the takeaway.
44:00You must have thought we'd come down in the last shower, but aye, a really good result.
44:06We're having a bit of a laugh at first, weren't we, when we got in, when he was going on about his mobile phones.
44:10But then it quickly turned sour.
44:13He's hurt my feelings a little bit.
44:15But don't do this job and make friends, do we?
44:27If you have any dashcam clips that you think could feature in the next series of motorway cops catching Britain's speeders,
44:34send them along with your contact details to contact us at purpleproductions.co.uk.
44:41Okay.
45:11Okay.
