Motorway Cops Catching Britain's Speeders S08E07 (Aug 18 2025)
Transcript
00:00What's happened?
00:04Test drive, just run out of fuel.
00:06We managed to get around the corner to here,
00:09and it's run out of fuel.
00:11On the A63 at Hessel,
00:14PC Emily Green is watching a potential car sale
00:17splutter to a stop.
00:20Did you like it?
00:22I know you haven't driven it far.
00:24For three minutes you've driven it.
00:26Yeah.
00:27I think the omen is that you shouldn't get the car.
00:30If you're going to try to get someone to buy a car,
00:34I'd maybe put some fuel in it.
00:36I think there's definitely some bargaining to be done there.
00:46Crash.
00:48Bang.
00:49Wallop.
00:50When it comes to bad driving,
00:52Dashcam never lies.
00:55With Britain's worst offenders
00:58racking up a whopping three million points.
01:04It's a bell to start.
01:06Decamping.
01:07Locking up the most dangerous people on our roads
01:09are the motorway cops.
01:12You've got better stuff to do, bro.
01:13You chase us, yeah?
01:14You don't think you want to be catching some real criminals, do you mate?
01:16You are a real criminal, mate.
01:18That's it.
01:19We join Humberside Police.
01:21Please don't let us return it!
01:22As they fight to keep the roads safe.
01:24Flash, Flash.
01:25Shhh.
01:26You've been through red like your divvy.
01:27I'm sorry.
01:28And slam the brakes on deadly drivers.
01:31Open the door now!
01:32As soon as I went past her, I was like,
01:34he's coming for me, yes.
01:35Doing my own granny for speeding.
01:37You're looking at so many points atop of the Premier League.
01:41I've been very busy.
01:42Helping them in their battle with idiots behind the wheel
01:46is Dashcam.
01:47See if she's got Dashcam in her car.
01:49It's vital evidence.
01:50And proof that Britain's dumbest drivers are a law unto themselves.
01:59Could we'll stop that?
02:00Winner Winner Chicken Dinner.
02:08Tonight.
02:09Two males armed with a sledgehammer.
02:12A violent robbery turns into a manhunt.
02:15A coy driver.
02:25Oppositions the cops.
02:27Do you want to make this up for us?
02:29The adult shop.
02:30No.
02:35What colour were the lights on when you went through them?
02:37Amber.
02:38And an amber gambler loses his bet.
02:41I'm going to ask you to provide me a specimen of saliva.
02:44for a drugs test.
02:52Hull is home to some cutting edge science we all know and love.
02:57Innovating LCD screens, frozen Yorkshire puddings,
03:01and even the humble boiled sweet.
03:04But at Melton Nick.
03:05You can never have too many pens.
03:10PC Moff McEwan is struggling to get to grips with the most basic of tech.
03:17You can't own a pen.
03:18A bit like a cat.
03:19You can't own a cat.
03:20Because they wander freely and wild.
03:23Like pens.
03:24Because you loan them out and then you loan them back.
03:27It's a circle of life isn't it?
03:28You start with a pen, you end up with two pens.
03:32Next day you end up with no pens.
03:34Just the way it goes.
03:35I've had a couple of weeks away so, yeah, back on it.
03:46See if I can last a full night shift.
03:48It has to be stereotypical.
03:50I've got some cans of iron brew.
03:52Full fat.
03:53It has to be on nights.
03:57You didn't see what I had before I came.
03:59Just to fit even more stereotypes.
04:02Look at that bad boy.
04:04I had a sausage, bacon, haggis, fried egg.
04:08I just need a police issue kilt now.
04:20To me dying day I'll be Scottish.
04:26I just happen to live in England.
04:29I've lived in Hull longer than I've lived in Scotland.
04:33Strangely enough.
04:34So it is my adopted home.
04:42Probably got some Hull twang.
04:45Don't ask the Hull people would agree like.
04:48We got filtered.
04:50Stop.
04:51Filter.
04:52Stop.
04:53We've had reports of a bakery in progress.
05:08Two males on a moped.
05:12And with a sledgehammer.
05:15We've got a report of two males.
05:18Potentially with a weapon.
05:19We're currently breaking into Tesco's Express.
05:22We need to get there quickly.
05:24Last thing we need is anyone approaching them or them approaching anyone else.
05:28When serious criminals know the police are on to them anything can happen.
05:35When serious criminals know the police are on to them anything can happen.
05:48In Hull, Humberside cops are responding to a robbery at a local cinema.
06:03When officers appear, the wannabe ram raiders make off, one on foot, one in a car.
06:16But there's honour amongst these thieves as the driver returns to pick up his accomplice.
06:22In the chaos, the man desperately tries to cling on to the moving car, but falls flat on his face.
06:29He's going to ram the officer over here.
06:33With the driver still refusing to stop, cops ram the vehicle.
06:43Shunting the thief round the car park.
06:46But this slippery stuntman refuses to come quietly.
06:52With one final push, cops bring this crime caper to a close.
07:00The driver was jailed for five and a half years for burglary, assault and dangerous driving.
07:07The thief on foot was locked up for two years for burglary.
07:22We've got a report of two males on a mull bed with a sledgehammer.
07:28In East Hull, Moff is racing to catch two armed men trying to break into a supermarket.
07:40You've got all the traffic units making to it now.
07:44The more we get into the area, the chance we've got...
07:52We've got...
07:54Move out a bit.
07:56Exit champ, almost off on scene.
08:00We've got two of them in.
08:02Aye, where?
08:04On Milan Pothman Road.
08:06Potentially coming towards us.
08:13There he is there.
08:22Stop moving about fella, don't resist otherwise you're going back on the floor, so stand still.
08:32Right, let's get in the van.
08:40Stepping.
08:49We've still got one outstanding.
08:51Yes.
09:05In a world ruled by bad driving, who will save the day?
09:11Look at that, that's appalling.
09:14Coming soon, to a cinema near you, Dashcam the Movie.
09:20You'll laugh.
09:28You'll cry.
09:29What, that was a f***ing f***ing man.
09:32It'll have you on the edge of your seat.
09:37Idiot.
09:38But don't hold out for a happy ending.
09:41Servicely Brights, you absolute f***head.
09:50They're going in progress.
09:53Two mills armed with a sledgehammer.
09:59There he is there.
10:00Right, let's get in the van.
10:01Hull.
10:02And Moff has got his hands on one of two suspected burglars that have tried to break into a supermarket with a sledgehammer.
10:13Okay.
10:14Two mills run.
10:15We've got hold of one.
10:16Hopefully we'll get the other one.
10:17The area now.
10:18Which direction, Derek?
10:19Sergeant Tom Elvidge joins the hunt for the runaway robber.
10:233-0.
10:24Do they know what direction?
10:25What's the last location?
10:26What's the last location?
10:28Lourcing down, Ellesmere.
10:29Disappeared.
10:30The area now.
10:31The area now.
10:32The area now.
10:33Is that too much?
10:34No.
10:35They were left.
10:36There's no...
10:37What's the last location?
10:39Is that too much?
10:41Yes?
10:42Sgt Tom Elvidge joins the hunt for the runaway robber.
10:453-0, do they know what direction?
10:47What's the last location?
10:48Last thing down, Ellesmere.
10:50Disappeared.
10:52The only description we've got is it was wearing a white helmet.
10:57We're in the area, put yourself in the area, here you go, you've got a chance, haven't you?
11:04I think we were up to pursue him, but we will.
11:10He's gonna get out on foot.
11:18I didn't see him cross the road.
11:20Oh, he's down this side?
11:22Yeah, definitely down this side.
11:24There's no way he got past us, so he must be in one of these gardens somewhere.
11:30Look at that.
11:33Could be hiding in any of these gardens, really.
11:36It'll be a lot easier with a dog.
11:42Look at that.
11:44I don't know.
11:46Dog's got on a track, straight into a garden.
11:58Sounds like the dog's found something.
12:04Have we got him?
12:18The kid's hiding in that garden. I think he's just been bit.
12:22Second mill detained.
12:24Just need to get him out.
12:26The gate's open now.
12:28The test is for a complete investigation.
12:32Open those up, please.
12:34All right, you did.
12:36I went to the wheelie bins and just went...
12:38I think someone's in the wheelie bins.
12:40Can you get my police dog?
12:42This guy's getting your advice.
12:43He's got carefully into it.
12:44You have to do that.
12:45I'm going to do it anyway.
12:46We've got damage to the window that you can see here.
12:48And they've been trying to break in.
12:49Got a sledge hammer.
12:50And as you can see, she's smashed the window.
12:52And they've been trying to break in.
12:53We've got damage to the window that you can see here.
13:10And they've been trying to break in.
13:12Got a sledge hammer.
13:14Got a sledge hammer.
13:15And as you can see, she's smashed the window.
13:18How do they even think they were getting in there?
13:21It's just mad.
13:23They've woke up half the street.
13:25So, yeah, absolute cracking job.
13:44I can't say I've ever turned up to a supermarket getting sledge hammered by people on a moped.
14:05Least of all, a supermarket that has clearly got steel grills behind the glass.
14:20I just, I don't know.
14:22They've met the police dog.
14:26Didn't really get a turf for one and the dog got a meal deal.
14:29Something like that.
14:30There's nothing better than driving in the sun and having a traffic car that just shines
14:58and pings.
15:01For PC Billy Stead, first impressions matter.
15:05I'm a firm believer that having a clean car people take you a little bit serious because
15:11it just looks professional, it looks proper.
15:15I harp on about it quite often.
15:18If you go to a broken down vehicle, if you've got a dirty rear, vehicles ain't going to see
15:24you.
15:25No one likes a dirty rear.
15:28I love driving.
15:42In traffic, you're driving nice cars.
15:44Not a lot of jobs can give you that car and say just go and drive that about for 12 hours
15:50of your shift.
15:51So today, Southbank, geographically, is quite big.
15:57Just to give you an example, from Grimsby to Scunthor, that can be a 40 minute journey.
16:05If you don't like driving, you're definitely in the wrong job for me.
16:10Yeah.
16:11I can't believe to be on clone plates, it's just hit one of our cameras.
16:25Tango November 11XX.
16:27Yes, yes.
16:28I'll start heading.
16:31It's possibly a clone vehicle.
16:37It should be a white Citroen.
16:40However, the vehicle that it's displayed on is quite clearly a dark coloured Mini Cooper.
16:45The main reason people clone vehicles is because they don't have a licence, they don't have
16:52insurance, or they're covering up the fact that it's stolen.
16:56It's been to come down from York quite a bit, and then into the Grimsby area.
17:08There's a high likelihood that should we get behind it, it'll fail to stop.
17:19I'm at Barnaby Top now.
17:21There's a Mini just going under the bridge.
17:26Standby.
17:31From Tango November 11, got a possible sight in a subject vehicle.
17:34I'm just going to play a little bit of catch up to it.
17:36Confirmed sighting of subject vehicle.
17:53Can we just get the early heads up to Grimsby local patrols to get a Stinger set up, please?
17:59We will be available for spare sight in Grimsby.
18:04Oh, perfect.
18:14Wade, are you nearby?
18:15Yeah, not too far, isn't it?
18:20Wade, if you can get with me when we get on the A18, should it go that way?
18:29We'll go for a two car box.
18:31Yeah, that's okay.
18:40From Tango November 11, I am directly behind subject vehicle.
18:43XH, we've entered the 55.0 miles an hour zone.
18:58Vehicle is slowing with a near side indication.
19:01And it is a stop-stop.
19:05Hey mate, can you just switch your engine off for us, please?
19:17Have you got your licence on you, please, buddy?
19:20And do you mind us just taking the keys out just for a second?
19:22I'll just pop them on your roof.
19:24Thank you much, Lee.
19:26The reason that we've stopped you today is this vehicle comes back as a white Citroen
19:31on these registration plates.
19:33Yeah.
19:35I've got a bed for stairs, I mean.
19:37Okay.
19:41Tango November 11, can I pass you a VIN number for this vehicle, please?
19:49And that's coming back to a Mini Cooper SD in grey.
19:53Is that match with Hotel Victor 12?
19:59Hotel Victor was that?
20:01Yes, yes.
20:04So your registration should be Hotel Victor, not Hotel Yankee.
20:09Yeah, HV12.
20:10Yeah, this is Hotel Yankee.
20:12You're showing HY12?
20:14Right.
20:15So that's why it's coming back as a white Citroen.
20:18It's a plating error.
20:19You're going to have a plate of cake?
20:20Well, my partner surprised me with some very nice plates just after I bought the car.
20:30Your wife bought you the plates?
20:31Yeah.
20:32Oh, really?
20:33Yeah.
20:34It's been bought some brand new number plates from his partner and she's got the registration wrong.
20:49They've got the different plates at home.
20:50So, yeah, when you get home you need to change the plates back.
20:59Yeah.
21:00Because, I mean, you nearly got stung and cars wrapped around you and everything.
21:02Really?
21:03Yeah.
21:04You just need to change your plates to the correct reg.
21:09Alright.
21:11Maybe she wanted him arrested.
21:12Maybe she did, yeah.
21:13It was a plan to get him locked up, yeah.
21:15It was tough, yeah.
21:32It's good for him because he's going home with some great ammunition as to not cook tea for the next month.
21:38That wouldn't happen to me.
21:41I'm way, way too OCD with my car.
21:45But if it did, it'd be Grade A Premier League pizza shops for the next month, I think.
21:52And I would definitely take the weight gain for that.
22:09There we go.
22:14Fantastic.
22:15Good start.
22:17It's most importantly that the car smells fresh for today.
22:22Perfect.
22:23It's got to be cotton fresh.
22:25Other brands are available.
22:33Eight years as a copper.
22:34And it's not just his appetite for fighting crime that keeps PC Joe Gorman going.
22:41I love food.
22:43I think I'm a great cook.
22:45I make an absolute belting cheese toasty.
22:48Obviously it would have to be cheese.
22:51Crispy onions.
22:52Some famous peri-peri chilli jam.
22:54Definitely some smoked ham.
22:56Nice and grilled.
22:58Bit of butter on the top.
23:01That's my pied de la resistance.
23:04I've just had a vehicle passes in the opposite direction.
23:20With a very recent intelligence marker on it to suggest as a drink driver.
23:25See how that was in the morning.
23:26And alcohol does linger in your system the following morning.
23:31Drink drivers contribute to a lot of our casualties and fatalities on our roads.
23:40It's definitely a priority for us.
23:41Definitely a priority for us.
23:42It's gone for petrol.
23:47Get it while there's somebody in the driving seat.
23:48It's gone for petrol.
23:49Get it while there's somebody in the driving seat.
23:53Looking to keep calm behind the wheel.
23:54It's gone for petrol.
23:55It's gone for petrol.
23:56Get it while there's somebody in the driving seat.
23:57It's gone for petrol.
23:58It's gone for petrol.
23:59It's gone for petrol.
24:00Get it while there's somebody in the driving seat.
24:04Looking to keep calm behind the wheel.
24:05I have to dive through your son.
24:06Try some motoring mantras.
24:07I may not know where I'm going but I'm moving forward.
24:08Whatever it takes.
24:11Looking to keep calm behind the wheel?
24:23Try some motoring mantras.
24:30I may not know where I'm going, but I'm moving forward, whatever it takes.
24:37Always look to the future.
24:41Never look back.
24:45And remember, the key to happiness is...
24:49Live, laugh, and love.
25:03Just had a vehicle passes in the opposite direction with a recent intelligence marker on it.
25:09Suggested as a drink driver.
25:16Going for petrol.
25:19In Hull, Joe has tracked down a car reported to have a drink driver behind the wheel.
25:24Getting it while there's somebody in the driving seat.
25:31Is there any wind down for me?
25:33Hiya, could you just pull up over there for me, please?
25:41Morning, yeah.
25:42How are you?
25:42You all right?
25:43Yeah.
25:44Just want to have a quick chat with you.
25:45Yeah, yeah.
25:45Just take a seat in the back of my car while I'll run some checks on you.
25:49Is it your car?
25:50Yeah.
25:59Just wanted to have just a quick chat with you today.
26:01We have information to suggest a driver of that vehicle possibly likes to drink alcohol and drive.
26:09Oh, wow.
26:10Okay, then.
26:12Are you quite surprised?
26:14Yes.
26:16So, I'm just...
26:17Do you want to breathalise me?
26:18I'm going to request that if you're happy to give me a sample, yeah.
26:21I say.
26:21That's absolutely fine.
26:22If we get ten reports, we'd rather get the reports and one of them be...
26:27Absolutely.
26:27Accurate.
26:28Have you done this before?
26:30Yeah, a few years.
26:31Bye.
26:32One continuous breath, a couple of seconds till it clicks.
26:35I'll hold it, you all right?
26:38Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going.
26:39Stop.
26:42Legal limit's 35.
26:44But if you've had nothing to drink, I like it.
26:46It should be zero.
26:48I think Wednesday a glass of wine.
26:52Yeah, zero, there you are.
26:56Fantastic.
26:58I'll just run some checks on your driving licence and insurance while we're at it.
27:01Yeah, go for it.
27:02IPNC, it's 2320 Gorman from RUDS Policing.
27:05Yes, yes.
27:06Can I just have a driving licence details, please?
27:10Five points showing on that.
27:13It's a lot, isn't it?
27:15I was kicking myself.
27:16It was the day after I'd bought that.
27:18Right.
27:18I was only going 66 at the Fox.
27:20It was nothing major.
27:23Right.
27:23Are you trying to get top speed out of it?
27:28Absolutely.
27:28Keep a gentle right foot.
27:29Keep a gentle right foot.
27:36Are you insured on another car?
27:40No.
27:42So it's your car?
27:43It's my car, but to be honest with you, my mum's been driving it.
27:48So the policy I can see, I can see your mum's name on there.
27:50It's in my mother's name, but she drives it more often than me, but I'm taking the kids
27:54away this weekend, so I've used the car.
27:56Ah, wait.
27:58Normally it says permitted drivers, and it would have...
28:02Me on it.
28:03...other drivers there, which it doesn't show me.
28:05I am definitely on the policy.
28:07Do you have a certificate of insurance, like on an email or something?
28:09I can have a look.
28:18I'm really sorry.
28:19It's all in my mum's name.
28:21I might be able to log on to the account.
28:25I was not expecting this this morning.
28:29We're going to Gulliver's Land.
28:31We've had it booked for ages.
28:33All right.
28:37Try that one.
28:41So on here, it just says persons or classes of persons entitled to drive, the policyholder
28:46only, which the policyholder is...
28:48My mum.
28:49Your mum.
28:51You're not on it.
28:52Oh, my God.
28:54How have I managed that?
28:55Sorry.
29:00Sorry.
29:01Oh, my God.
29:02So I'm not insured, so it's getting seized, innit?
29:04Might not get seized.
29:06If you can get it insured at the roadside...
29:08Yes, I will.
29:09...and provide me with proof, I won't seize it.
29:10I will.
29:11I'll insure it now.
29:14Does that mean I'm also getting six points?
29:18It will be.
29:19Unfortunately, we have to take it on the chin.
29:23Lesson line on that one as well.
29:26At least it's 11 points, not 12.
29:32There you are.
29:40Yeah, that's fine.
29:41Thank you very much.
29:42Just keep that handy, because if you get stopped again today, you're not on the policy.
29:45Yeah, no worries.
29:46Yeah.
29:46Yeah.
29:55She's 22.
30:02She's got five points on her license.
30:04She'll end up with 11 points, so one more point and it's a full house.
30:10She'll be shouting bingo, and her driving license will be getting revoked.
30:13She knows she wasn't insured.
30:17Is it the fact that her insurance policy was probably going to be too expensive?
30:21Sometimes people choose to ignore it, and ultimately pay the price when we catch them.
30:27So yeah, onwards and upwards to the next one.
30:28Fun time Friday, what a time to be alive and what a time to be aware.
30:50I don't like morning, don't like early, give me a night shift any day of the week.
31:01I'm a bit of a grump of salt way and I had a coffee in the morning.
31:04If I get my morning coffee, I'm happy.
31:08Four hours into his day shift, and Billy could do with some perking off.
31:14I get told a lot that I don't smile, but that's just my face.
31:18I can't change my face, unfortunately.
31:19I'm sure there'll be a job coming in very shortly.
31:27That keeps you smiling, I suppose.
31:39Okay.
31:45There's a car up there.
31:47It's in a dangerous condition.
31:48It's got half of its front bumper missing.
31:53Flat vehicles involved in a collision, even at low speed, where it might hit a person.
32:00It's going to, for no reason, cause quite a significant injury due to the metal and jagged edges.
32:06Hello.
32:12Will you just do us a favor?
32:14Will you just drive forward and pull over to the left, please?
32:16Awesome, thank you.
32:17the reason why i'm stopping you is your car
32:41yeah what's going on with that
32:45it's we went to the mechanic yeah and we've got a new one coming

40:37at a car crash in hull
40:39moff has the results of one driver's drugs test
40:46right then young man that's negative
40:48okay so you've not had drugs you just chilled out all right
41:01what color were the lights on when you went through them please
41:04amber what does amber mean
41:09uh prepare to stop or something like that
41:13so if it was on amber and that means prepare to stop why didn't you stop
41:20already i was in the middle when amber show up okay yeah just like i was in the middle already
41:25well i'm just going to go have a word with my colleague who's speaking to the other driver
41:31um just to make you aware this junction has full cc tv
41:35sports civic yeah it's cut and the red fiesta goes through on red which is
41:47pen yes cc tv shows the red citron waiting to turn right at the junction
41:59the lights change but as the citron turns the red ford fiesta flies through the lights
42:09crashing head on into it
42:15all right
42:18so we'll check the cc tv of the incident
42:22and it shows that when you went through the traffic lights you went through a red light
42:31and we've got that on video
42:38i will be reporting you for consideration of driving without due care and contravening a red light
42:44okay okay this collision could have been avoided if you had stopped at the red light okay and you
42:55have caused the collision all right okay do you understand everything that i've said yeah and you've
43:02you've got no reply to any of it no no thank you
43:17i think both drivers will just be a bit stiff for the next few days and fortunately a real minor injury
43:36i think the thing that shocks me is that nearly every collision i've ever been to could be avoided
43:45um and it's just through impatience or not paying attention that collisions happen and i think the
43:52biggest shock for me as a traffic officer is how much of what i do is avoidable
43:57if you have any dash cam clips you think could feature in the next series of motorway cops
