00:00Come on, keep going.
00:09No one's actually paying any attention.
00:11But there's another one who decides to go behind our car instead of round it.
00:15It's a bit like flies attracted to the lights.
00:20At a breakdown on the outskirts of Hull,
00:23PC's Luke Thundercliffe and Joe Gorman have a bright idea
00:26to keep motorists on the straight and narrow.
00:30We'll put some kerns up.
00:33As bright as possible.
00:35No excuse for seeing them now, is there?
00:38International Space Station can see Luke's lights from here.
00:45Crash.
00:47Bang.
00:48Wallop.
00:49When it comes to bad driving,
00:52Dashcam never lies.
00:55With Britain's worst offenders
00:57racking up a whopping 3 million points.
01:03It's a bell to start.
01:05Decamping.
01:06Locking up the most dangerous people on our roads
01:08are the motorway cops.
01:11You've got better stuff to do, bro.
01:13They chase us, yeah?
01:14You know, I think you want to be catching some real criminals, are you, mate?
01:16You are a real criminal, mate.
01:17We join Humberside Police.
01:20Police officer, you're a tailor, sir!
01:21As they fight to keep the roads safe.
01:24Crash, crash.
01:25Who's been through?
01:25Red light, you divvy.
01:26I'm sorry.
01:27And slam the brakes on deadly drivers.
01:30Open the door now!
01:32Soon as I went past you, I was like,
01:33he's coming from here, guys.
01:35Do me own granny for speeding.
01:36You're looking at so many points
01:40at the top of the Premier League.
01:41I've been very busy.
01:43Helping them in their battle with idiots behind the wheel
01:45is Dashcam.
01:47See if she's got Dashcam in her car.
01:49It's vital evidence
01:50and proof
01:52that Britain's dumbest drivers
01:54are a law unto themselves.
01:59Could little stop that.
02:00Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
02:01Yeah.
02:01Tonight.
02:10I've got a motorbike at speed.
02:13It's straight through a red light.
02:14A biker feels the sharp end of policing.
02:18Vehicle stunk, vehicle stunk.
02:20Are you a sergeant?
02:21Yeah, I am.
02:22Great, at least I got done by the sergeant.
02:26I've just hit a railway bridge with my lorry.
02:28Driving's a toll order for one trucker.
02:32Are you aware of what height that is?
02:34I do now.
02:37Wow.
02:39You must have hit that at some speed.
02:41And late-night revellers
02:43have their party crashed.
02:45I won't cross myself as a true driver.
02:48That was just one bottle of vodka.
02:49Across North Lincolnshire, Hull, and East Yorkshire,
02:59the Humberside Road's policing patch
03:01is home to nearly one million people.
03:06It's 48 motorway cops take great pride
03:08in keeping the road safe.
03:10And Melton Station's locker room,
03:16neat and tidy.
03:20I quite like an organised locker.
03:22I'm a bit sad like that.
03:23But, yeah, all my lockers are like this.
03:25And I always get the mick taken out of it for me.
03:29I'm going to freak out because it's neat and tidy.
03:32People who know are weird.
03:33Like, look at that locker.
03:34It's a disgrace.
03:35I can't even cope with that.
03:37Sergeant Tom Elvich has the smartest locker in the nick.
03:41But then, he's always scrubbed up well.
03:43That photograph there is the first year I joined Traffic, 2018.
03:48I look very young and fresh.
03:50I look better with a beard.
03:52You age, don't you, pretty quick.
03:55And I've aged a pod, haven't I?
04:0632-year-old Tom was born and bred in the East Riding of Yorkshire.
04:18His policing roots go deep.
04:21Grandad was a special, but he was a farmer as well.
04:23And then, where we grew up, there was the police horse stables nearby.
04:29Ended up turning on beside it, 23, and just joined Traffic to see what else I could.
04:34And, yeah, never really looked back.
04:36When I was younger, I watched R.B.
04:44I'd love to police somewhere like R.B.
04:46Fantastic.
04:47Get rolling round the Yorkshire miles.
04:51TV does make it look good.
04:52You solve every crime on TV.
04:54Yeah, we should have rode for six hours and it's still not solved.
04:56On my side, we have a massive area, so we cover anywhere from Hull City, the border like
05:09York, North Yorkshire area, and then we go down to the borders of Doncaster, all the way
05:14across to Grimsby.
05:18Tonight, we're going to head to Scumford, just having a quick look, see what's going on.
05:26Hey, up there.
05:37Here we go.
05:40Tank November 3-0 to X-H.
05:43Tank November 3-0, overhead.
05:46Got a motorbike at speed, Bungam Road, southbound.
05:51It's towards Asa Roundabout.
05:56It's taken the second.
06:00It's going to wear my presence.
06:02I'm an unmarked skater.
06:05Any units that can give backup, please?
06:09Yeah, two on.
06:10I'm heading down there.
06:12From the start of the rider in front of us, he just doesn't add up.
06:17Due to the area as well, it's potentially stolen.
06:20Every night we get bikes stolen.
06:23They have this thing that we just want to assume because they're on a motorbike, it's
06:26more dangerous for them.
06:31We're just approaching a red.
06:36It's through a red light.
06:39I'm going with it.
06:40He's still going to wear my presents.
06:48His riding's already erratic.
06:50And if I put my blue lights on and put pressure on him, it might increase his speed, which could
06:56cause him to crash.
06:57So we're stolen him back at the moment, lowering the risk to himself, other road users, and to
07:02myself as well.
07:03Tom knows that when it comes to motorbike pursuits, high speeds come with high stakes.
07:14Hull and an unmarked Humberside police cop car is undertaken by a moped rider at almost
07:20twice the speed limit.
07:23And when the rider dangerously overtakes a car, narrowly missing another, the cops make themselves
07:28known.
07:29But rather than pulling over, the rider decides to ditch his safety gear.
07:37He's thrown his helmet off right in front of me.
07:39Despite a cop car on his tail, his driving becomes even more reckless.
07:45Dangerously weaving around traffic and jumping a red.
07:49He's undertaking traffic.
07:51When the traffic slows his getaway, he jumps the curb, narrowly avoiding a serious crash.
07:57Nearly hit a cyclist.
08:00Unable to shake the cops, he tries a different tactic to ditch the police.
08:05He's gone off the road.
08:07But the cops are one step ahead.
08:11And the second patrol is lying in wait.
08:14The rider pleaded guilty to dangerous driving.
08:36It's through a red light.
08:37Back on the outskirts of Scunthorpe, Tom is tailing a reckless motorbike rider.
08:50It's onto the opposite carriage where...
08:52Speed's well in excess of the speed limit.
08:57Can I have their sting, please?
09:00Stinger authorised.
09:01I have a question for him to stick.
09:06Hopefully, you don't know he's coming.
09:08And we go to the rider.
09:13Approaching a T-junction.
09:16Taking a right-right, sir.
09:20Straight over the Mini-R-A.
09:22It's increasing its speed.
09:24On the south side outside, Peter.
09:26Driver's call.
09:27I am on Station Road now.
09:32Speed is approximately 60.
09:38Detective the Stinger, sorry.
09:43And it's straight through a red light.
09:47Risk is high oncoming traffic.
09:55Stinger.
09:57Stressed out by Britain's roads.
10:13Then it's time to build up some good car-ma.
10:21Focus on what you can control.
10:27Be present in the moment.
10:29Oh, we're you.
10:31F***.
10:32To go with the Contra flow.
10:36And remember that for every action, there's a reaction.
10:48He's well in excess of the speed limit.
10:52He's going to wear my presence.
10:53It's midnight outside Scunthorne.
11:02He's straight through a red light.
11:03And a speeding motorcyclist has left Tom with just one option to end his ride safely.
11:10Risk is high.
11:12Stinger.
11:16Vehicle stung, vehicle stung.
11:17Get off your bike.
11:21Get off your bike.
11:23Get off your bike.
11:24What's up?
11:24What's up?
11:25You've just been through a red light, you divvy.
11:26Oh, sorry.
11:27Come here.
11:28I'm here.
11:29I'm not doing that wrong.
11:30Just sit there for us, mate.
11:31Oh, sorry, boy.
11:32Is that your bike?
11:33Yeah.
11:34So what are you doing driving like that?
11:35I'm coming down there because I could see a car following me and I got scared.
11:38Well, I wasn't following you in Scunny, was I, when you were riding like an idiot?
11:40No, I know, but I get scared.
11:41It's late at night.
11:41Just take your helmet off for us.
11:43Take a seat in there for us, mate.
11:51No problem, mate.
11:54Sting that.
11:56No reports present on the vehicle.
12:01I'm not, like, resisting or out.
12:03I know you're not, mate.
12:04You came past me at a rate of knots.
12:06I was like, bloody hell, what's this?
12:07And I'll be interested in when it passed me.
12:10I thought it's just been stolen.
12:13Yeah, I did beat that red light because I...
12:16Solid red.
12:17You didn't beat it.
12:17You were solid through.
12:21You have no reason at all to go for a red light, okay, mate?
12:28Absolutely no reason at all, which is fair to say.
12:31Yeah, then, no, that's totally...
12:32All right, mate.
12:36You never blew light me, though, I will say that.
12:38I didn't, no.
12:39I didn't want to put pressure on you.
12:40Because you are, for me, you're already riding on the edge of your ability.
12:44I've got to decide how to bring this to a safe conclusion.
12:49And wreck my tyres, what?
12:50That's my first ever time getting road sting, sorry.
12:55It's a bit like my heart's...
12:57It stops you instantly.
13:00I just saw there's something shook out on the road and then I thought, huh?
13:04And I heard my tyres.
13:05Yeah.
13:06We call it a pre-emptive sting because the last thing I want you to do is flying and disappearing.
13:10I would rather you're blue-lighting me, but I understand.
13:15What we'll do, mate, I'll do you for the road traffic events, as you explained.
13:19Yes.
13:19I'm going to report you for careless driving.
13:22Yeah.
13:23And going for a red light as well, okay, mate?
13:25Understood.
13:26Yeah.
13:26Understood.
13:30This car is uncomfortable, by the way.
13:32It's terrible, isn't it?
13:34You seriously need to invest in the back of cars?
13:36I'll tell you a sergeant to get some money out.
13:39I am my sergeant.
13:41Are you a sergeant?
13:42Yeah, I am.
13:43Great.
13:44At least I get done by the sergeant.
13:47Am I allowed to check my bike out, please?
13:49Because you popped over my tyres.
13:51That's absolutely fine.
13:53There you go, mate.
13:58Yeah, there, p***.
14:00Very nice, aren't you?
14:02No, listen, mate.
14:03You're doing your job.
14:04So, I'll leave you here, mate.
14:06Thanks.
14:07Thanks a lot.
14:23Oh, well.
14:24What a bad little job.
14:31Due to his manor riding,
14:33how to put mud on it,
14:33being a stolen vehicle,
14:34it turns out it's his own vehicle.
14:37Do you know who reminded me of this?
14:38He's a proper farmer, lad.
14:40I've never really had anyone excited
14:42that they've actually been stung,
14:43so that's the first for me.
14:46Stuff like that sticks for you, don't it?
14:48It's like the spikes in his tyres.
14:50That sounds faulty.
15:05It's usually user error with Luke.
15:09It should help me to show you how to do it.
15:11Got there in the end, didn't we?
15:18This is where it finds out we've got no ink in his pen.
15:22It's like watching Laurel and Addy in there.
15:27Back at Melton Station,
15:29PC's Luke Thundercliff and Joe Gorman
15:31are keen to avoid another fine mess.
15:35Most important thing about any shift
15:36is to make sure that the car smells nice.
15:37tyres are good.
15:44Got to make sure the old girl's got enough juice in there
15:45to last the evening.
15:48We'll just fill this up.
15:50Ha ha ha ha ha!
15:54It's the oldest trick in the book, that lady.
15:57Besides...
15:58Luke and Joe both started out
16:05as special constables.
16:07They've spent two years teamed up as motorway cops
16:09and it's not just the job
16:11they have in common.
16:14It's a very strange relationship.
16:16Ha ha ha ha!
16:17Yeah, we literally lived down the next street
16:20to each other.
16:21Car sharing.
16:23Can't get enough of each other.
16:24Just...
16:24I came walking by my house one day
16:27and started engaging in conversation.
16:29I thought, who is this weirdo?
16:31Ha ha ha!
16:32And they ended up doing an overtime shift with me.
16:34Yeah.
16:35It was love at first sight, wasn't it?
16:36Yeah, obviously.
16:37Or was it love at first overtime?
16:38Love at first overtime.
16:39Ha ha ha ha!
16:40Ha ha ha ha!
16:42I don't know, I quite like policing in Hull
16:43because you feel like you're just doing something
16:44for a good cause.
16:45Hello, I was born in East Hull
16:48and bred on a field.
16:50I was born in Hull as well.
16:51It's definitely not Hull, it's...
16:53Hull.
16:55You get taught from an early age
16:57to drop the H.
16:58That's why I went to school in Beverly.
17:01Oh, check you out.
17:03Mr Posh still ended up in the same job as me though,
17:05didn't you?
17:05Yeah, innit?
17:06Yeah.
17:15That guy's just dropped my attention.
17:23I'll just have a look at that.
17:27The Audi app was just passed for some reason
17:29he was driving with his fog lights on
17:30and his headlights turned off.
17:31He takes his scarf onto the umlet sections of the road
17:41and then he's just got shot with his ability
17:43with his fog lights
17:44and just dazzling other drivers.
17:50So, we'll just stop it and have a chat.
17:52Show us how it's done, Luke.
18:06I'll just run him through.
18:09All right?
18:10Hey, up here, not bad of you.
18:11Yeah.
18:11The reason why I've stopped you
18:12is you've got your headlights not switched on at the front
18:16so you had your fog lights on
18:17which you've just switched off.
18:20So, just switch it all the way down to the bottom
18:21and that'll turn your lights to normal, full.
18:25No, so you've got no headlights?
18:27No.
18:27Do you have anything to hold?
18:28No.
18:29Oh, no.
18:30The bulbs have gone, mate.
18:31I can't drive this now.
18:33Not really, no.
18:34You've got no lights.
18:40No marks on the vehicle.
18:45MOT, not held.
18:51Do you know that your MOT's expired?
18:55No, not then, but my MOT.
18:57August, it says on our system.
18:59Not then, then.
19:00Oh, do you switch the car off for the time being, please?
19:05Right, hasn't it?
19:06Yeah.
19:07It's all right, us.
19:07You've met the cab a few times, haven't you?
19:17Yeah.
19:18I've had that parking.
19:19Yeah, you can see that again.
19:22Just jump out of the chair outside.
19:25You can see, look.
19:27I think you've hit the cab that much,
19:28you can actually see the cords.
19:30Obviously, it's a bit of a weak spot.
19:32If it's going to give way, I'll blow up.
19:34So it can't be driven on that, basically.
19:36And that, unfortunately, is going to get you three points.
19:38Is it?
19:39Yeah, as soon as the cords are exposed,
19:41it's obviously an offence.
19:43Because it's not safe.
19:45I have to leave the car and start out other arrangements.
19:47So if you want to take a seat back in your car for the time being.
19:51What I'll do is,
19:52obviously, because you've committed a moving traffic offence
19:54by not having any headlights on,
19:55and obviously, no MOT,
19:57we could just do a drug rack.
19:58You've done a drug rack before?
20:00No.
20:01So if you usually call around the top of your mouth
20:02and start your mouth,
20:03and then just stick your tongue out for me.
20:04So one, two, three, perfect.
20:17What you're showing me on there is,
20:19there's a really faint line for cocaine.
20:25Right, I'm not saying you do,
20:27but at the moment,
20:28this is coming back as a positive reading, okay?
20:31So as a result of that,
20:34you're now under arrest
20:35by failing a roadside drugs test
20:37for cocaine.
20:40So if you could just jump out, please.
20:42Take a seat in the back of our car for the time being.
20:44How come you're in shorts at this time of the morning?
20:52I live in shorts.
20:53You live in shorts, dear?
20:54What, we might be off to the beach or something?
20:56I've got to stand jeans or all that.
20:58You can't stand jeans?
20:59No, I've got shorts in winter.
21:03Fair one each to the road.
21:04Fair one each to the road.
21:20Fair one each to the road.
21:31I'm always going to stop that every day of the week when it's got the headlights and it's got fog lights on because it's dangerous.
21:44Which is probably why he's not taking it for an MOT.
21:48He's been very, very lucky with that tyre.
21:50It's just going to blow. It's actually going to put other people's lives in danger as well as his own.
21:56It's not often you find threads and legs exposed at half as four in the morning.
22:01Oh, my God.
22:22Right, I shall see you soon.
22:25Can't wait to get wrenched for having this old man back.
22:28It's a bag for life and I think it looks like I've had it for life.
22:31Life on the road can wear out a motorway cop, but PC Moth McEwan can definitely, maybe, roll with it.
22:40I got Oasis tickets, so I'm buzzing.
22:46I was one of the 14 million sat with every screen in the house.
22:50Even the wife chipped in.
22:52They were my youth band.
22:53I've been to see them in double figures.
22:56So, today's going to be brilliant and if they shout at me, swear at me or anything, don't matter.
23:02I could be mad for it, couldn't I?
23:0341-year-old Moff's own UK tour began over 20 years ago when he moved down from Dumfries.
23:22And lately he's found some even hairier rockers to hang out with.
23:25When I got to 40, I decided I wanted to try new things.
23:31So, Saturday I went to an alpaca festival.
23:36That's how I chill in my 40s.
23:39It was a good day.
23:41I'd say I was more enthusiastic than the family, but I needed somebody to take the photos.
23:46It's hard to selfie an alpaca.
23:50They don't stand very still.
23:55Today I'm in the city of Hull.
23:57So, people are buzzing about.
23:59They've got places to be and everybody's in their way.
24:04And you just have to try and keep your watch about you.
24:06On the side of the police, emergency.
24:19I've just hit a railway bridge with my lorry.
24:24Believe this.
24:27Everyone's having a good look.
24:30So, I'm hiding, to be honest.
24:33We'll get someone out there straight away, okay?
24:36I'm still getting details coming in, but a lorry's struck one of our railway bridges.
24:49And bridge engineers are en route.
24:57Absolute worst case scenario, the bridge comes down.
25:06They say, all roads lead to Rome.
25:16And with some drivers, it's like the Romans never left.
25:21You can watch chariot racing.
25:29Gladiators locked in mortal combat.
25:32And centurions pushing a hundred.
25:37So, make like Caesar and hail a cab.
25:49I've just hit a railway bridge with my lorry.
25:56Absolute worst case scenario, the bridge comes down.
25:58In central Hull, Moff is racing to reports that a truck has crashed into a bridge.
26:05I'm presuming that he's either not been aware of his own height,
26:10or he's just not been paying attention.
26:15Knowing that bridge, there's ample signs.
26:20Before, during, and after it.
26:22I've got response units from Network Railway on scene.
26:37Ah, yeah, I can see an HGV.
26:40Don't look in a good state.
26:41So, what's happened, bud, without me sounding stupid?
26:56Too high for the bridge.
26:57Right.
27:01Jump down for us then.
27:02Come and grab a seat in my car.
27:05So, fortunately, you soft-sided.
27:07It's not going anywhere, is it?
27:09That's my main concern, is that that doesn't collapse.
27:17Right, then, what height is your vehicle?
27:1915'11".
27:20And the bridge that you've approached, are you aware of what height that is?
27:24I do now, but yes, it's 15 foot.
27:27Do you know what speed you were doing at the time?
27:29Oh, 30, less than 30, I would say.
27:31It is busy around here, isn't it?
27:33Yeah.
27:34And now, fortunately, all that's hot is that, and potentially, maybe your pride, yeah?
27:41Yeah.
27:41So, the lorry needs a bit more than a bit of teacot, and you might need a stiff drink when
27:48you get home.
27:48Yeah.
27:48And I don't mean to scare you, but the worst-case scenario this was, a railway bridge could
27:55be on the floor just now with a train.
27:57Yeah, I know, I know.
27:57And, not just that, if I'd closed this road, the impact on the city would have been beyond
28:03that as well, just because you have a momentary lapse in concentration, all right?
28:08No, I'll tell you about it, yeah.
28:10So, on that basis, I will be reporting you for consideration of prosecuting you for driving
28:15without due care.
28:16That's okay.
28:20I don't choose how it's dealt with, I just report you for said offence, all right?
28:24Yeah, yeah.
28:26So, I'll let you out, bud.
28:35It could have been a lot worse.
28:38There's a lot more to driving HGVs than a car, and a lot more responsibility as well.
28:44That should be a vertical back.
28:48It's not now.
28:49Didn't do very well at school, it's more a parallelogram.
28:52Well then, you all right?
28:59Yeah.
28:59Yeah.
29:01Do I need road closures?
29:03Are you fine?
29:03So, it's more damage to him than anything else.
29:06Yeah.
29:07See you later!
29:08I appreciate you coming so quick, though, because closing this road could have been catastrophic
29:14to the city.
29:16He's an experienced driver.
29:35I think his pride's as dented as his lorry is.
29:40Probably getting a bit home happy, that's where he was off, so no doubt he was probably planning
29:49his tea.
29:51So, he can add a few hours to that now.
29:53What's in your bag?
30:10What's in me bag?
30:11Yeah.
30:11You're back off.
30:12I've got to pack up in cans.
30:14Oh, yeah.
30:14Always.
30:15Back at Melt and Nick, Moff picks up lunch, and also a familiar face, PC Dan Thompson.
30:26Gosh, it's a tight squeeze.
30:28Tell you what, if I ever go on a family holiday, I guarantee I can fit all the packing in one
30:33car.
30:34It doesn't matter how big the car is.
30:36Access to the cones, which is the one we're probably more likely going to need.
30:40All the rest, that's all Dan's, so we can just do it that way.
30:43It'll be fine.
30:45Happy days.
30:47Oh, damn.
31:11Cloudy with patchy rain.
31:13Was the Radio 2 update this morning.
31:16The weird thing is, I've got a rubbish car, and my stereo only works when it wants to,
31:20so I don't really choose the radio station.
31:23The car does.
31:24And then Radio 1 kept dropping out the other day, and I pressed search, and Radio 2 came
31:30through crystal clear.
31:31And I thought, ah, we'll have it.
31:33And then Scott Mills came on, that I used to listen to on Radio 1, and I thought, it feels
31:37like I'm home.
31:39They're just playing different jingles.
31:41I'm aging with the radio.
31:42The thing is, I could still sing along.
31:43That was the worst bit.
31:45I was like, it's all gone wrong.
31:47I used to be cool.
31:48Well, I don't know if I ever used to be cool, to be fair, but...
31:52Of course you did.
31:53Thanks, mate.
31:54Two Intel reports in relation to drive on a known to smoke cannabis every day and drive.
32:09You've got to have a look, mate.
32:20Tango Mike 1-4.
32:22Good.
32:23Can you attach us to that log, please, and just show us, have a look for it?
32:27We're just going to play catch-up now, and hopefully be able to get it pulled over.
32:31I think they might want for that, sir, already.
32:35Drinking alcohol or being under influence or anything can really cause serious issues,
32:41like being road traffic collisions.
32:43Don't want anybody on the road impaired.
32:45There it is down there.
32:53There it is down there.
32:59Tango Mike 1-4.
33:01Good.
33:01Yeah, we've got a positive sighting of that vehicle.
33:05We're behind it now.
33:06A63 committed eastbound.
33:09At this time, it's highway code compliant.
33:13Both of us are pursuit management trained.
33:15We're in a Mark Skoda Stinger on board.
33:17Put a follow-me on, Moth.
33:23Attention.
33:25Traffic.
33:25Yeah, he's gave us a thumbs-up.
33:38Sir?
33:39No, then, pal, how are you doing?
33:45All right, mate.
33:45So, reason for the stop today, there's been a report about you driving whilst under the influence of cannabis.
33:50Oh, really?
33:51Yeah.
33:52Do you use cannabis at all?
33:53I do use it, yeah.
33:54Have you used it regularly at the minute or recently?
33:57On the night time, innit?
33:58On the night time.
33:59When was the last time you smoked some?
34:00Last night.
34:01Last night.
34:02Okie-dokie, mate.
34:03If you want to just take a step out of here, just take a seat in the back of our cab.
34:06Follow me around, mate.
34:09Like I said, mate, so I requested a sample of saliva for analysis.
34:13Stick it to that for us.
34:14Stick it to that side for us, mate.
34:16Okie-dokie.
34:17So, the results for this, they aren't instant, like a breathalyzer.
34:26So, is cannabis the same as alcohol regarding how long it stays in your system and blah, blah, blah?
34:32Alcohol, you know the strength of it, don't you?
34:35You know, like it stays on the bottle.
34:37Yeah, yeah.
34:37But with drugs, it's different.
34:39Because obviously, you can buy it from different people.
34:42They might give you a stronger batch, so it might stay in your system longer.
34:53Ok, so, the minute you see the two lines there, so that's positive for cannabis, mate.
34:58Ok?
34:59Oh, I can do this.
35:01Yeah.
35:01So, the time, it's 12.41.
35:03So, at this time, you're under arrest for driving whilst over the prescribed limit to drugs.
35:07Alright.
35:07Mm-hmm.
35:07What type of driver licence do you have?
35:13Full UK.
35:14Right.
35:15So, it's coming up with an expired substantive licence.
35:19It's a what?
35:20Expired licence.
35:21What the hell does that even mean?
35:23Um, so you haven't renewed it when it's popped up for renewal.
35:301-4, could you just do us a hash DL, please?
35:32Sean has expired.
35:34How does your licence expire?
35:38I thought that's when you got to a certain age.
35:41Go ahead.
35:42It's showing that the licence was revoked in 2008, and nothing since to say it's been given back.
35:482008?
35:49Yeah.
35:50Have you got any idea why it was revoked?
35:532008.
35:54What year we're in now?
35:542000...
35:5524.
35:5524.
35:56That was a long time ago.
35:56Yeah, I know.
35:57I was going to say, it's a long, long time ago.
36:01I got done for drink driving.
36:03When was that?
36:07I was trying to think.
36:09Possibly around then.
36:10I can't honestly think that yet.
36:12I know it's a long time ago.
36:15Regardless of that, you are currently driving otherwise in accordance with the licence.
36:20So, I'm seizing the vehicle on...
36:21Okay.
36:22Christ almighty.
36:26Pop round to you, mate.
36:27All right.
36:33We'll pop you in there, pal.
36:34Well, that was a nice quick AMPR hit, wasn't it?
36:59But you're like, shall we go for...
37:00Yeah.
37:01Yes, we should.
37:03Took me drug wipe and me Tesla and off he went.
37:06Straight on it.
37:07I was ready.
37:07I was poised.
37:08Oh.
37:09I did find it quite ironic, yeah, that he had a massive, what looked like a herbal substance,
37:15leaf on his jumper.
37:17But...
37:17Maddie, he has been driving for years without a licence.
37:21Yeah, talk about right place, right time.
37:24Or wrong place for it.
37:25LAUGHTER
37:26LAUGHTER
37:27Now, do I go get a coffee?
37:47Go for a coffee if you want.
37:49Snacks on the road.
37:52Treat you to the good stuff.
37:53LAUGHTER
37:54Motorway cops rack up some serious mileage, and for Joe and Luke, the refuelling never stops.
38:08Family bag.
38:09Small bag to sell last year.
38:10LAUGHTER
38:11What is that?
38:15It's a strawberry-like sweet thing.
38:18You stole it.
38:18Make a pencil.
38:19You stole it off a kid, haven't you?
38:20LAUGHTER
38:22It's expected to be the passenger.
38:27You can eat whenever you want.
38:32Just hope we don't have a foot chase in the next half of it.
38:34LAUGHTER

39:17Any other cars involved?
39:18Have we got any injuries?
39:21We just need to get there as quick as we can.
39:31Wow, we made a right mess of that.
39:47British drivers have a record that is far from spotless.
39:57So it's time to give our roads a spring clean.
40:02Have a quick whiz round those hard to reach corners.
40:09To make sure everything is dazzling.
40:12And then throw open your doors and let some fresh air in.
40:29Wow, we made a right mess of that.
40:32Midnight in Scunthorpe.
40:33Luke and Joe are at the scene of a crash between a driver and a lamppost.
40:42He must have hit that at some speed to knock all that back.
40:48Who's driver this?
40:50You.
40:51What's happened?
40:52So I've come round the roundabout and I've spun out just here right now.
40:57Yeah.
40:57And we've gone over the kerb.
40:59I've turned the wheel like that and we've just missed this lamppost.
41:03Yeah, don't you drink?
41:04No?
41:04Come sit in my car and I'll give you a breath test.
41:06While other officers breathalyze the driver of the crashed car, Joe gets the passenger's
41:14version of events.
41:19Okay, so talk me through what happened.
41:22He was fine, like driving up to the roundabout and the next thing I know we drove into a lamppost.
41:29That was just a flashback, like, before my eyes, like, within seconds, like, I didn't know
41:33what was going on.
41:34Was he going too fast?
41:37He didn't seem too fast or anything like that, no.
41:40He's a good lad, like, you know, he wouldn't do anything to purposely harm me or anything
41:44like that.
41:46So where'd you been tonight?
41:48How did you end up being in that car?
41:49I've just been at his house.
41:51Right.
41:52So we've had a drink and then he's gone to take me home.
41:56How long had you been drinking for?
41:58Only a couple of hours.
42:00Alcohol?
42:01Yeah.
42:02What kind?
42:03It's just one bottle of vodka.
42:07Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going.
42:09Stop!
42:11Okay, so you've failed the roadside breath test.
42:14Okay, so you're under arrest for driving whilst over the prescribed limit of alcohol.
42:17Did he suggest that he would drive you home?
42:23I asked him if he was all right.
42:26He said yes.
42:28And then obviously I asked him if he was Sean, he was like, yeah.
42:33Obviously he didn't seem like too drunk at the time, whatever, he seemed all right.
42:36I would strongly advise if you know that he's had half a bottle of vodka, don't get in his car, even if he's willing to drive you.
42:51Because this is the ultimate endgame.
42:53What was the score?
43:04Eight six.
43:05Wow.
43:05Is that bad?
43:07Yeah, very bad, yeah.
43:08Yeah.
43:09I mean, I won't class myself as a drink driver.
43:11We've failed the breath test at the roadside, so I would say that's good enough.
43:18Alcohol and driving don't get together.
43:19Oh, I forgot what they are.
43:21Come on.
43:21Let's get rid of you.
43:22Oh, yeah.
43:26He's blown 86 at the roadside.
43:29You know, these are a real danger on our roads.
43:31And in the morning, hopefully when he sobers up, he'll realise the error of his ways.
43:37Right, we'll rip him off.
43:39Sorted.
43:41They've both been very, very lucky.
44:00Lucky he didn't kill anybody, really.
44:03What amazement most is the fact that she allowed him to drive and get in a car with him when she knows how much they've driven.
44:11Comment senders should say that he's not safe to drive, so don't get in that car.
44:18Sounds like there's a lot of comments instead, isn't it?
44:21Not a comment.
44:22If you have any dashcam clips you think could feature in the next series of motorway cops,
44:33catching Britain's speeders, send them along with your contact details to contact us at purpleproductions.co.uk.
44:41Okay.
