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 he do what I've just done with his shoe, 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.
02:38And a breath-takingly bad manoeuvre ends with a mugshot.
02:45No, I'm fucking...
02:46No, 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.
03:13Tango 1286 or something.
03:16At Eatle Lane station in Newcastle, the road's piecing 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, the 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, but it was always more
04:01about 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 your office, enjoying what you love doing.
04:28Yeah, I think that's rewarding 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, that'd 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
05:16of wine.
05:19Absolutely ridiculous.
05:24I'm happy to go out hunting for these people, try and get them stuck.
05:26I'm trying to sort of put myself in their shoes to a degree, thinking I've been up all night,
05:47I've had a few drinks, where am I going to go to get some food now?
05:51It's going to be a bacon sandwich, sausage sandwich, that type of stuff.
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
06:10the intoxicated drivers.
06:12We wouldn't get the results we do get without them.
06:14There it is, that 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
06:52offences.
06:53To 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.
07:06Motorway cops will do whatever it takes to stop drink drivers causing carnage on our roads.
07:16In 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.
07:27The cops put another patrol in front, in a bid to slow the boozed-up motorist down.
07:35Swerving all over the road, the officers take drastic action.
07:42Using tactical contact to bring the driver to a stop.
07:45The suspect escapes, but doesn't get far.
07:56He was found guilty of drink driving, dangerous driving, driving without a licence, and driving
08:01without insurance.
08:05He was jailed for one year, and given a two-year driving ban.
08:09Clearly, I want to get a car stopped that's driving, potentially intoxicated.
08:23Back in Newcastle, Brian is on the hunt for a driver, spotted drinking a bottle of wine
08:28at the wheel.
08:29That's the car I'm looking for.
08:3912.86, I found that drink driver.
08:41It's parked up on Kingston Park Roundabout.
08:44The vehicle is stationary at the moment.
08:54If I go past again, they'll start cutting them off.
08:56So I'm going to try and find some way to park up and keep an eye on it.
09:16Yeah, there's movement on the car.
09:26The purring of an engine is music to some driver's ears.
09:35But 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.
09:51And repercussions when you hit the triangle at the wrong time.
10:00Altogether, creating a bittersweet symphony.
10:03Help!
10:04I'm so sorry, I'm just coming in your car.
10:07It's the fault of the car behind me.
10:09I'm so sorry.
10:11That's the car I'm looking for.
10:2212.86, I found that drink driver.
10:26In Newcastle, Brian has tracked down a car reported to have a woman swigging wine behind the wheel.
10:32I'm just going to take possession of those keys.
10:45My concern is that 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?
10:53Do you want to come down and hurry up?
10:55I'm not going to run.
10:57Well, I think you are.
10:59I didn't go to run, did I?
11:00I just went to leave.
11:02Is it your car, then, when you're sitting in the driver's seat?
11:09Yeah, I'm going to be driving it, though.
11:10Right.
11:11Registered and insured to you.
11:13Yeah.
11:13Fully checked, fully taxed, fully MOT.
11:17Don't want the passengers to die.
11:20That's the problem.
11:21Just watch the road when you go around the other side.
11:24I'm getting cautious, maybe not.
11:26Can I see your driving licence?
11:28No, I don't know.
11:29I won't have my drive.
11:30Who's driving, then?
11:31It's hers.
11:32Big time to go away, though.
11:34I never drove.
11:35So who was going to drive away from here, though?
11:36Nobody.
11:37Nobody.
11:38Not now.
11:39Not now the Rosses 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.
11:50Take a deep breath and blow up until I tell you to stop.
11:54Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going.
11:56Stop there.
11:58It's thinking about it.
11:59And 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 arrest 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.
12:10I have been driving.
12:14Love you, baby.
12:15I love you.
12:19I have failed now, right?
12:21I may have been driving earlier.
12:22But didn't mean to have a f***ing driving earlier.
12:24Did 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 f*** is off though?
12:46What's that?
12:46Again, this is all in 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.
13:11And I'm telling you now, this is my evidence.
13:14I was never driving when I was drunk.
13:15Simple as nick me for drunk driving.
13:19Can't deal with it all.
13:21I've never, ever, ever drunk drove in my life.
13:24I wouldn't do it.
13:24I don't agree with it.
13:26I hate it.
13:27You'd kill anybody.
13:28You'd knock somebody over it.
13:30You'd kill a band 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.
14:02Who 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.
14:14And 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.
14:39I'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.
14:49I've put a bit of aftershave on it, just to try and freshen it up a little bit.
14:56But it's probably just going to make it worse, because I 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.
15:14I suppose best can do some graft.
15:16One 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, go down that road.
15:27And 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.
15:34Right, I think we'll have a quick look at this car size.
15:52It'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.
16:01Tango, Tempo Fleet.
16:05Be able to check, please, station road walls, then.
16:09Yeah, confirmed.
16:10Pulling back is silver course, then.
16:13What level of insurance have you got in there?
16:15SD&P, including competing.
16:19Received, thank you.
16:20Hello, 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.
16:42I'm taking food to my home.
16:43Can I have just a quick look at it, because that smells really strongly?
16:46This is for me.
16:50Is 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, Tempo Fleet.
17:03Can I just get a check on the driver of this one, please?
17:05He's got glasses contact lenses marked showing.
17:09Received, thank you.
17:10Do you usually wear glasses for our driving?
17:12Yeah, I have glasses.
17:13Where are they?
17:13Go ahead, Tews, will we?
17:17Your foot's on the accelerator.
17:22Yeah, I do.
17:23Right.
17:24You should be wearing your glasses.
17:26That's why I just removed 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 with a glass.
17:38Seat, S-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.
17:43It's probably going to see us here.
17:45Right.
17:45Can you 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?
17:58M-N-Double-2-F-M-V.
18:01Try with your glasses.
18:05K-N-Double-2-F-Y-V.
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.
18:16Hello, sir.
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?
18:30When you switch on your light now, that's why I'm so...
18:34I'm afraid.
18:35That's why I just removed my glass.
18:37No, 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.
18:44As we'll go to court, okay?
18:45No, sir.
18:46And we'll have the magistrate hear out that evidence then.
18:48Sir, please, please, please.
18:49Okay?
18:49Sir, please, I beg you.
18:51Please, sir, please.
18:51No, listen to me.
18:52I investigate fatal road traffic collisions, all right?
18:56If you were found to have hit someone
18:58and you're supposed to be wearing your glasses
19:00and they die, you're in trouble.
19:0318 years, I was on driving.
19:05I didn't...
19:06I'm sure you are a brilliant driver
19:07when you've got your glasses on.
19:08No, no, no.
19:08I'm just saying, yeah, yeah.
19:11Sir, don't angry with me, sir, please.
19:15If I lie, I'm sorry, sir, because...
19:17You don't lie to me.
19:18No, no, I don't want to make a lie, sir, because...
19:20Well, you do, because you're telling them.
19:22You're a good officer.
19:24Please do some favour for me, sir.
19:26No, because not one roof for one person,
19:28one roof for another, okay?
19:31You 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?
19:40I got caught £240, so I thought tomorrow I will take.
19:46Well, 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.
19:52You'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
19:57if you were to hit someone.
19:59Everybody'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, like, a speeding ticket with three points,
20:17then you could get disqualified from driving.
20:19Oh, ****.
20:20So, one more thing.
20:22How can I manage this?
20:24Just drive legally?
20:26Legally.
20:26Sir, one more question.
20:31No 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.
21:18But 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.
21:40Because the 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.
21:53There was a million and one questions getting fired at it, despite there just being one more question.
21:58I 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.
22:30A woman can never have too many bags.
22:33So, 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 a car once and it smelled like a black, like 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.
23:11Seems like a good start of the morning.
23:13It's lovely and sunny.
23:15Roads are dry, weather'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.
23:34So, I'm going to get it stopped, have a bit of a crack with him and find out why he's blocking the last three letters.
23:39Because, to me, that would be a bit bizarre.
23:45I think he's got a break right up as well.
23:48And he can't drive by.
23:51Oh, 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.
23:59He 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?
24:15No, he's not.
24:17He's going to turn right, but he's indicating left.
24:19Thanks, mate.
24:20In the future, artificial intelligence could drive us all round the bend.
24:41Many motorists are already on autopilot.
24:46And any glitch can land you in a ditch.
24:50It's not always the answer to turn off and turn back on again.
24:57For 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 breeze indicating left.
25:20It's a shock and driving.
25:26In Gateshead, Mary-Anne has just witnessed a near miss at a busy city centre junction.
25:32I can tell you.
25:33I'm going to take care of you because clearly you can't drive mate, you can't drive, you've
25:55just nearly crashed and your registration plate's not displayed properly, is the handbrake
26:00on, handbrake on, handbrake, no, yeah that's what I'm saying, right, stinks of tabs, cigarettes,
26:15lots of them, just take a seat in there for now, I'll get some details off you, sit down,
26:23right, why is your eyes all bloodshot, your eyes are bloodshot and your pupils are quite
26:33small which would indicate that you may be under the influence of drugs, when was the
26:38last time you smoked cannabis or took drugs, no, you don't take drugs, no, well I'm going
26:46to ask for a specimen of saliva to test for any drugs on you, yeah, cool, brilliant,
26:52okay, stick your tongue out, thank you, well that's good, you don't take drugs, no drugs,
27:11that's fine, okay, tango 8902, bagel check please.
27:18How long have you had that car?
27:21It's not my car, it's my press.
27:23My friend tell me bring it here, go to post a coffee, it's coffee.
27:28Well you can because you're not insured on it.
27:30I'm sorry.
27:31It's okay.
27:32Can I have a driving check and a deal please?
27:35I'm getting no hit on any fire.
27:39You haven't got a driving licence, is that correct?
27:43Yeah.
27:44Okay.
27:45I'm going to seize the car and then you can go.
27:47Okay.
27:48Yeah.
27:49Okay.
27:50Don't drive.
27:51Please, I'm sorry.
27:52It's okay.
27:53You just don't drive.
27:54Please, I want a photo.
27:55No, I'm not, you're not getting a selfie with us, no.
27:56I've just took your car off you.
27:57You're not getting a selfie, no, definitely not.
27:58Please, I want a photo.
27:59No, you're not getting a photo with us.
28:00No.
28:01No.
28:02No.
28:03Right.
28:07See you later.
28:28Stood all over me yogurt.
28:29And me ham sandwich.
28:31That's the main thing.
28:45Normally, you say, you know, sarcastically,
28:47another happy customer, but actually,
28:49he was a happy customer, so happy that I wanted a selfie,
28:53which I don't think I've ever had before,
28:55whilst 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?
29:02Me and his dear.
29:16Just getting it all set up.
29:18I've got to get the systems locked on,
29:20get 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.
29:30At Eatle Lane Nick in Newcastle,
29:34PC Chris Kemp is at one with his car and the universe.
29:40Well, that far north, up here in Northumberland area,
29:42sometimes you have nights around,
29:44it never truly gets dark.
29:46It's just lovely.
29:48I mean, when you look at the skies like this,
29:50you know what I mean?
29:52The beautiful hues, you know,
29:54the variation in the colour, the gradation,
29:56it's just wonderful.
29:58So fantastic that whatever's happening in front of you on the road
30:00is just immaterial, boring really.
30:02I just want to sit looking at the sky all night.
30:04But we can't, because we've got a job to do.
30:06That'll be one one. Just a Vieto check, please, on Scotland Road.
30:22Vieto check, please, on Scotland Road.
30:32Typical traffic coppers spot on a night.
30:35It's registered an insured to a female,
30:37but I could have sworn it was a male driver.
30:40I don't want to use the term mobile skip,
30:43but it's got mismatched tyres,
30:46you know, the bodywork's damaged and dented.
30:48It's got a new exhaust on it,
30:50because 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
30:58to see if it's actually road-worthy.
31:02Let's shake the train and see what comes out.
31:11All right, sir, are you insured to drive this car, sir, are you?
31:13As 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.
31:26Oh, right.
31:30How have you come to that conclusion?
31:36Are you actually insured to drive it or not?
31:37Like, have you seen a certificate with your name on that says...?
31:39No, I haven't.
31:40You haven't?
31:41No.
31:42Ding-dong.
31:44The reason I stopped you in the first case is just because, obviously, the car is like a rolling restoration project.
31:49Yeah.
31:51So I'm going to have a bit of a poke around the car just to make sure it's actually road-worthy.
31:55There's no hazards or anything dangerous with it now that I need to be aware of.
31:58It's not going to...
31:59No, I can live with junk.
32:01You probably wouldn't believe us if I told you it looks better underneath than it does on top.
32:05The end of this anti-roll bar here is like, this is supposed to be connected to that and it's not supposed to do this.
32:15It's just hanging free.
32:19Right, I'm prohibiting the use of this vehicle on a road because it's got a serious defect.
32:24I'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 and then I'm sure your lass will hit the roof.
32:32She's going to hit the roof anyway.
32:34Yeah.
32:35Such is life.
32:37You're off to work, are you?
32:38Yeah.
32:39Where's that?
32:40Bread factory.
32:41All right.
32:42I'm going to ask your boss for a raise.
32:44Yeah?
32:46A raise.
32:47Ha!
32:48Did you get it?
32:49Tell him you need more do.
32:53Yeah.
32:55I'm here all week.
33:11There's nothing about tatty banners that are illegal, but if the car looks tatty, I probably want to have a look at it to determine whether it's going.
33:19Whether or not it's roadworthy and that's when all the skeletons in your closet tumble out and land at your feet.
33:24You know?
33:25And the fault of that one might have escaped most people.
33:28Nothing escapes me.
33:33Make sure your documents are right.
33:34Make sure your car's roadworthy.
33:36And you and I won't fall out or something.
33:38I got up, I was planning on a long lie in. I like to sleep a little bit later when I'm on nightshifts. But then, my partner was on a team's meeting for her work. And she wasn't being quiet.
33:51Got up, I was planning on a long lie-in.
33:55I like to sleep a little bit later when I'm on night shifts,
33:59but my partner was on a team's meeting for our work
34:02and she wasn't being quiet.
34:07In Sunderland, it's Jamie's second night shift
34:10and it's a case of eat, sleep and hope it doesn't repeat.
34:15So I trapped myself, went for a bit of mince and dumplings
34:21and old school, just like your grandma made, honestly.
34:25You want loads of salt in it, dead beefy,
34:29in the biggest dumpling you can find,
34:31bigger than my head, which is difficult.
34:35But aye, and then a quick coffee and out on the road.
34:39It's been a kind of day.
34:41Sets you up right for the night.
34:51So we're just on our way to an activation of a stolen motor vehicle,
34:55a stolen golf in the Sunderland area.
34:58The vehicle, I feel the stuff, it's sighted,
35:01it's got the soonest possible, no tactical, it's a rise.
35:07So we're just on our way to an activation of a stolen motor vehicle,
35:11a stolen golf in the Sunderland area.
35:13The vehicle, I feel the stuff, it's sighted,
35:17it's got the soonest possible, no tactical, it's a rise.
35:23It's previously failed to stop by Durham officers,
35:26so we're expecting that this might turn into the suit,
35:27so we're just getting as many tactical units down there as we can.
35:33With Carfax at an all-time high,
35:35motorway cops have to be ready for anything.
35:38In Tameside, thieves in a stolen car
35:47are making off from Greater Manchester Police.
35:51Hurtling through a housing estate,
35:53they hit dangerously high speeds.
35:56As the cops close in,
35:58the car pulls over.
36:00Stay in the back, lock.
36:02Turn it off.
36:04But it's all a game,
36:06and the criminals race off.
36:08Flying through a red light.
36:15Before slowing down again.
36:18Oh, my God.
36:19A child and this man have been failed now.
36:23After ditching their cargo,
36:25the driver continues the chase.
36:28But as she meets a dead end,
36:30the cops finally catch her.
36:33The driver pleaded guilty to dangerous driving and theft,
36:36and was sentenced to 16 months in prison,
36:39suspended for two years,
36:41a 35-day rehab programme,
36:43and disqualified from driving for 18 months.
36:47The passenger pleaded guilty to burglary
36:50and aggravated vehicle taking,
36:52and was given 20 months in jail,
36:54suspended for two years,
36:55100 hours of unpaid work,
36:57banned from driving for 12 months,
37:00and given a 30-day rehab programme.
37:12This might be a tear, actually.
37:16In Sunderland,
37:17Jamie is on the hunt for a stolen car.
37:19Tango 1050.
37:21I don't know if I've just had a sight of that Golf,
37:23just 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.
37:36Nah, cancel.
37:37Very similar.
37:38Close, but no cigar.
37:41Unfortunately,
37:42Golf's are one of the most common car, aren't they?
37:46Get an Enpaso Vita.
37:47Get your chop iron,
37:56fly it down your hand now.
38:00We've got a kind of few tactical units
38:02have come to the area.
38:04We've got a few Stinger set up.
38:06We've got some firearms cops
38:07who are going to use their Stinger capabilities.
38:10So we've got plenty of eyes in the area.
38:13We should find it.
38:17It's getting a footstreet hidden now.
38:33I'm not far off.
38:37We're just overhead there now.
38:38It's important to get there quite quick
38:49so I won't get hold of the driver.
38:57We've got it.
38:58We clock up thousands of miles a year behind the wheel.
39:18But driving is all about timing.
39:21Some drivers are too early, which is alarming.
39:30Others arrive late and in a hurry.
39:33It's not a smart watch.
39:36And when every second counts,
39:39people can get wound up.
39:41Drivers caught on dashcam
39:47are left wishing they could simply
39:49turn back time.
39:51In Sunderland,
40:09a force-wide hunt for a stolen car
40:12has led Jamie to a car park.
40:14One patrol has the vehicle.
40:22That's him.
40:22Yeah, put that back.
40:23He's going to beat us up.
40:26And the driver has made a getaway
40:28to the takeaway.
40:30Hello, mate.
40:30Is that your golf out there, is it?
40:32No.
40:32You've been driving this?
40:34I've been driving.
40:34Just take your hand out of your pocket.
40:36Place your hands behind your back, Bruce.
40:37Is 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, OK.
40:50Jump in the back of there for us
40:51for two minutes.
40:55You got a driver, Zayson?
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 did he give you the key?
41:05Because I wanted to drive.
41:06I wanted to keep it sitting in the car.
41:08Right, I don't care.
41:09If you just kick your legs in for us.
41:13That car's stolen, all right?
41:15You're saying it's stolen.
41:16Yeah, I buy and sell.
41:18If 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 you with the license?
41:30Yeah.
41:33These are all your phones?
41:35Yes.
41:35How many phones do you need?
41:38One is for the old friend,
41:39one is for the wife.
41:41And what's the third one for?
41:44Third one for all these companies
41:45that have us in here.
41:50Right, OK.
41:51I've got a power under Section 6,
41:52the Road Traffic Act 1988
41:53to take a preliminary specimen
41:55of saliva from you
41:56because I suspect that
41:57you've been driving that vehicle.
41:59OK, what I need is just a quick swab
42:01from the inside of your mouth, OK?
42:02Just stick your tongue out for us.
42:07Have you had any cannabis or cocaine today?
42:10I've told you that.
42:12Well, have you?
42:14Is that a yes, then?
42:18Right, I'm arresting you on suspicion
42:19of theft of motor vehicle
42:21and also driving whilst unfit
42:24through cocaine showing up in your system.
42:33Have you got anything in your pockets
42:34you shouldn't have?
42:36What's that?
42:39Cocaine.
42:41Right, I'll see you in a bit.
42:42You know, you're driving
42:49not safely.
42:52Excuse me?
42:54You're putting my life in a danger
42:56while you're driving, careless driving.
42:59I wouldn't trust your judgment on driving.
43:01I'm a professional driver.
43:03Well, you're not,
43:03because you haven't got a license
43:04and you're under the influence of cocaine.
43:07You're not putting your attention
43:09to the road ahead.
43:10OK.
43:12Do you know how they're called?
43:16OK, sir.
43:19OK.
43:40It's been a bit of an update,
43:43so I've arrested the lad
43:46when he's been in the takeaway.
43:48He's seen me coming in
43:49and quickly stuffed something in the bag
43:52that we didn't know.
43:54And there's been several quite big packets
43:58of crack cocaine in the takeaway.
44:00He must have thought we'd come down
44:02in the last shower,
44:02but aye,
44:03a really good result.
44:06We're having a bit of a laugh at first,
44:07weren't we,
44:08when we got in,
44:08when he was going on
44:09about his mobile phone,
44:10but then it quickly turned sour.
44:13He's hurt me feelings a little bit.
44:15But don't do this job
44:18and make friends,
44:19do we?
44:27If you have any dashcam clips
44:29that you think could feature
