Short filmTranscript
00:00There we go. Wow. That's an insecure load, that. He needs a ticket.
00:12In South Yorkshire, PC Wade Cruz has tracked down a stolen lorry with a cargo of cocktails.
00:19There's just a few cans of whiskey and coke. Quite rare to find this amount of stolen guns.
00:24What we need is someone to count all these.
00:26I just want to test them. Make sure it's, you know, legit.
00:36Crash. Back. Wallet.
00:40When it comes to bad driving, dash camp never lands.
00:46With Britain's worst offenders racking up a whopping three million points.
00:54It is failing to stop.
00:57Locking up the most dangerous people on our roads are the motorway cops.
01:03You're not thinking you want to be catching some real criminals, will you?
01:05You are a real criminal, mate.
01:07We join Humberside Police.
01:09Police officer, it's...
01:10Two in the back, two in the back.
01:12As they fight to keep the roads safe.
01:15Crash, crash.
01:16It's disc wall, Bill. What a sausage.
01:18If I take it, I'm going to get arrested.
01:20And slam the brakes on deadly drivers.
01:23Sting, sting, sting. Get out of the car now. Show it, John.
01:27Is this going to take long, sir?
01:28No.
01:29Got to take away at home.
01:30You're looking at so many points.
01:33Probably the top of the Premier League.
01:35And I've been very busy.
01:36Helping them in their battle with idiots behind the wheel is dash cam.
01:41See if she's got dash cam in her car.
01:43It's vital evidence.
01:46And proof that Britain's dumbest drivers are a law unto themselves.
01:52I'm getting most past this.
01:54Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
02:02Tonight.
02:07Hollywood meets Humberside.
02:10Stop. Stop.
02:11As the Fast and Furious cause chaos in Grimsby.
02:21You haven't got a licence anyway, have you?
02:22No.
02:23You mean, alright?
02:25A white van driver crumbles under questioning.
02:28Sure does.
02:29You don't even know if you've got a licence or not.
02:33What was your middle name, sorry?
02:34Steven.
02:35And a simple spelling test leaves a driver stumped.
02:38Steven with a V?
02:39You know what?
02:40I think so.
02:40I don't know.
02:55The Humberside patch has seen plenty of bruising encounters as it's home to two rugby giants.
03:01Hull FC and Hull Kingston Rovers.
03:05And at Melton Station, just a stone's throw from the touchlines.
03:11You're me, aren't you?
03:12I am indeed.
03:13Another top team are preparing for battle.
03:16A band of brothers are back together.
03:18Absolute dream team incoming.
03:20Right.
03:21It's rock and roll.
03:23Who's that?
03:25I mean, it's been there about a week, so...
03:27It might have an adverse effect on your bowel movement.
03:30There's no change there.
03:31There's no change there.
03:33Decision made to swerve the cake.
03:35But PC's Billy Stead and Nathan Saltmer still have to work out who's in the driving seat.
03:41For the keys.
03:42Rock, paper, scissors.
03:44Bosh.
03:45Passenger princess.
03:46Yeah, again.
03:47And away we go.
03:52You could have told me my hair was sticking up there.
03:58And he has a bonus, William.
04:00I think it's raining over there, isn't it?
04:13Yeah, it definitely looks like it is.
04:15It's that murky murk.
04:16Hope it stays dry for tomorrow, for when I move house.
04:21Tomorrow is the big day.
04:24I'm moving into a mansion, mate.
04:26Absolute luxury.
04:27With a garage.
04:29Double driveway, yeah.
04:31Going up in the world from a two-bedroom flat to a house.
04:35I've got many rooms to go in.
04:37Should the missus upset me, I can hide away.
04:41Yeah, I've got enough rooms to make one of them into a man cave.
04:45Man cave, yes.
04:48What would you have in your ideal man cave?
04:50A couple of photos of the 2016-2017 Challenge Cup victories at Wembley for Hull FC.
04:56Nice.
04:57A big, big TV to watch sport on.
04:59Get in there.
05:00PlayStation.
05:01And then some beverage taps.
05:03Absolutely.
05:04So you're now becoming a braddle in the outside world.
05:09Yeah.
05:10Quite simple, mate.
05:12Straight forward no to that one.
05:13I love that.
05:14I love that.
05:15Nah.
05:25Humberside Police, what's the emergency?
05:27Hi there, it's the refinery service station.
05:29I've got a test of fuel just literally left the site now.
05:32OK.
05:33Hey, look.
05:34I don't know if I say.
05:35As soon as I said, right, I'm pulling 999.
05:38Come on.
05:39Straight away through the car.
05:40Wheel's been done.
05:45Exit is true, all patrol.
05:46I'm just getting a priority in.
05:47Nils made off with fuel.
05:49The Bentley Continental in black.
05:52The last reliable sight was at Inningham Dock.
05:54Tango November 1-1.
05:56We're blue lighting across there now.
05:57Receive, thank you.
05:58The initial report has been a make-off without payment
06:07from a petrol station over in Inningham.
06:09So we're just making our way across now.
06:11Go try and get it stopped.
06:16Tango November 1-1.
06:18Nils have been consuming magic mushrooms for the last couple of days.
06:22If he's under the influence of drugs,
06:25he's not going to be a rational mind, is he?
06:30Drivers who are high behind the wheel
06:32risk the lives of everyone on our roads.
06:40In Newcastle,
06:41Northumbria police try and pull over an uninsured Audi
06:45with a driver high on cocaine.
06:49But he floors it.
06:52The drugged-up suspect puts himself and his two passengers in danger
06:57as he hits a dual carriageway hard.
07:00Speed, one, two, zero.
07:04One, three, zero.
07:06Careering over speed bumps.
07:10And racing through red lights.
07:13He's desperate to leave the cops behind.
07:15But the car can't take any more.
07:18It does appear to be smoke coming from the car.
07:21The driver heads into a dead end.
07:24It's going to be a decamp, stand by.
07:26And the three occupants bail.
07:28One, two, three, out and running.
07:30I'm running.
07:31But the cops are close behind.
07:33Put your arms behind your back!
07:34Put your back!
07:35Get up!
07:36The driver was found guilty of drug driving,
07:39dangerous driving,
07:40driving without a licence,
07:41and driving without insurance.
07:44He was sentenced to 14 months in prison
07:47and banned from driving for two years and seven months.
07:56He's under the influence of drugs.
07:58He's not going to be a rational mind, is he?
08:01Near Grimsby, Billy and Nathan are racing
08:03to catch a suspected fuel thief,
08:05reported to be high on drugs.
08:07He's under a hallucination.
08:08Believe it's the second one of Jesus.
08:10He's constantly saying today is the day,
08:13I'm going to do it today,
08:14which is being interpreted as an intention
08:16to seriously harm someone.
08:19It's quite important we'll get behind this vehicle now
08:21and get it stopped.
08:26More units join the hunt.
08:28That's quite worrying.
08:29We've got someone with him.
08:30Oh dear.
08:34We've had one of the dog handlers get behind it.
08:35We said there's a couple of occupants in the car
08:36and there's a female in the back
08:37appeared to be saying, help me.
08:38So potentially now looking at a kidnap.
08:39Move out of here.
08:40Oh, no.
08:41No, no.
08:42No, no.
08:43No, no.
08:44No, no.
08:45No, no.
08:46No, no.
08:47No, no.
08:48No, no, no.
08:49No, no, no.
08:50No, no, no.
08:51No, no, no.
08:52No, no, no.
08:53No, no, no.
08:54No, no, no.
08:55No, no, no.
08:56No, no, no, no.
08:57No, no, no.
08:58No, no.
08:59No, no, no, no.
09:00No, no, no.
09:01No, no, no, no, no.
09:02No, no, no, no, no, no.
09:03There's a lot of alcohol here.
09:11When motorists drive us bananas, language can get a little bit fruity.
09:21What a ***.
09:23And it only takes a few bad apples, blowing raspberries, to send things well and truly pear-shaped.
09:36There's a female in the back, appeared to me saying, help me, so potentially now looking at a kid now.
09:58Billy and Nathan are racing to Immingham Docks on the hunt for a hallucinating Bentley driver with a terrified female passenger.
10:06All units, contact has been lost with the vehicle. Docks have CCTV, I'm monitoring the area. Stand by.
10:23Tang of November 1-1. We're on the docks now, we're just looking for the vehicle.
10:26It could be anywhere, couldn't it?
10:36Yeah.
10:51There it is.
10:52Tang of November 1-1. Confirmed sight in Westhaven Way.
11:00It is failing to stop.
11:03Well in excess of 7-0 in a 3-0.
11:07It's a temporary loss. Stand by, stand by.
11:10Stand by, stand by.
11:27Stop, stop.
11:29Contact made with subject vehicle, contact made.
11:32Vehicle is continuing.
11:34We've taken damage, X-H.
11:40I am, I'm not too sure how long we're going to be able to continue.
11:43Got a flat, haven't we?
11:48Just gone through a barrier, X-H. Just gone through a barrier. Stand by, stand by.
11:58It's just going round the docks.
11:59I'm unsure where we're going to come out.
12:04Speed of 5-0.
12:09It's done a right, right, right.
12:11Right, right, right.
12:13It's just gone straight through a barrier.
12:18Train, there's a train coming.
12:20It's got lights flashing, bearing man.
12:23Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
12:25It's a temporary loss. Stand by, stand by.
12:32Tango November 1-1, that's received.
12:47Where's it gone?
12:49Tango November 1-1.
12:50Other units are now on site.
12:51Tango November 1-1.
12:55Dog unit and armed response are immediately behind the vehicle.
13:13Bomb into the car park. Bomb into the car park.
13:16What's that?
13:16What's that?
13:16Hotel Zulu 1-0.
13:30Subject detained is being done.
13:33Get down on your front now.
13:33Lay on your front, lay on your front.
13:35Do me now.
13:36Do not move.
13:37Do understand.
13:37Do not move.
13:41Right, mate.
13:41You're under arrest on suspicion of failing to stop the police, dangerous driving and abduct slash kidnap.
13:47Do you understand?
13:48I was scared.
13:49Sorry?
13:50I was scared.
13:51I've lost it to no one.
13:54I'm going to request a roadside sample of saliva from yourself.
13:57Are you happy to provide one?
13:58It's for drug analysis, cannabis and cocaine.
14:00You've got no right to?
14:01I have, mate.
14:02I've got quite a lot of right to considering your driving just then.
14:05I suspect you're under the influence.
14:06You've committed numerous road traffic offences, therefore I have the power to request it.
14:11Are you going to give one?
14:12Don't yet.
14:13Sorry?
14:13No, I'll do it yet.
14:14Stick your tongue out.
14:17Stick your tongue out.
14:20You're going to have one more opportunity.
14:22Keep it out.
14:31You don't even know my name still, do you?
14:32F***, apparently.
14:34Ain't it be nice if you can't f*** yourself?
14:35Lord f***.
14:41Both passengers are out of the vehicle, safe and secure.
14:45Have you got in the car willingly?
14:46Yeah.
14:47And then at any time if you wanted to get out of the car?
14:49Yeah.
14:49And you wanted to get out all the way through?
14:51I'd ask him to stop and he wouldn't.
14:52The main thing is you're all right, aren't you, sir?
14:56It's returned a positive result after only a few minutes for cocaine.
15:01I've got no words to be fair.
15:02Driving like that under the influence, recipe for disaster.
15:05Absolute ridiculous.
15:06It's just because going there, mine, I think.
15:08Look out, best of the best!
15:13I don't even know the guy.
15:14I've only met him two or three times.
15:16He just asked me to get this car, so I got in.
15:19Probably my fault for getting in the car.
15:21Shouldn't have got in.
15:22I won't go over that.
15:24I like a bit of adrenaline, do you know what I mean?
15:27It's trashed a 90-gram, the Bentley, anyway.
15:30I want to cross that myself, right?
15:32Damaged a few police cars as well.
15:34I don't know.
15:35I don't know.
15:41I don't know.
15:43That was one of the more dangerous pursuits
16:05that I've been involved in, for sure.
16:08Outrageous. Absolutely outrageous.
16:10That's my first tactical contact, that.
16:15I'm sure Garage will be able to put a few cable ties and duct tape on it.
16:18It'll be back to new.
16:19How much will that weigh? Two and a half tonne?
16:21Two-tonne car easier, whereas this is featherweight compared to that.
16:26Yeah, it is. It's like Prince Nazeem Ahmed,
16:29a lightweight, featherweight boxer, going up against Mike Tyson.
16:33But we win, because he's in custody and he's in cuffs.
16:36Good job all round. It's ending safely.
16:40And we've got one very dangerous driver off the road.
16:47Crazy, that.
16:48It was crazy.
16:50I've got no words, to be fair.
16:52Ramming through barriers and stuff like that, it's...
16:55That's generally what you see on, like, Grand Theft Auto.
16:57Yeah, it is, yeah.
16:58You see it on Fast and Furious,
16:59where they go over a bridge and break through a gate.
17:02You don't expect to see that.
17:03Not in Grimsby.
17:05I feel sorry for that Bentley that he's crashed.
17:07He should be charged with crimes against supercars.
17:10Getting the thermal layers on today.
17:26Frozen solid.
17:28Gloves and hat may be required.
17:30And a beanie hat.
17:31It's minus four in Humberside,
17:34but PC Martin Leek has deployed the in-car heater
17:38in the fight against the frost.
17:40It ain't minus four in there anymore.
17:41That's the main thing.
17:42Lucky days.
17:44Started off at 21 degrees.
17:46So we'll see where we go from there.
17:48Tropical weather.
17:50Like being sat on the coast of Benidorm.
17:52When the sun does shine in Humberside,
18:00Martin hits the beach with his bucket and spade.
18:04Well, I'm born and bred Cleef Orps,
18:05so I would probably describe myself as a seaside man
18:09in terms of my leisure time.
18:11I like spending my days off heading around the seaside,
18:14but when I'm at work, I like to hustle and bustle over the city.
18:17I tend to gravitate towards the urban areas of the force.
18:22Driving around this time,
18:31we're looking for people to be paying attention.
18:33It's getting in towards the rush hour times,
18:36so it's the time when people need to be paying attention to driving.
18:46Jeez, what the...
18:47He's blasted straight through that crossing there.
18:52There's a lady on a pushbike just waiting to cross,
18:59and this golf has just blasted straight through the crossing.
19:02Failed to give way.
19:05Where's he gone?
19:06Let's have a sniff around Tesco's.
19:09There he is, going to the right now.
19:12You know what they say?
19:12Have a little help.
19:13No, then, you're all right.
19:29Yeah, you got your licence with you?
19:30Not with me, no.
19:31The reason I've stopped you is because as you've come towards that crossing,
19:34who was on the left-hand side of the road waiting to cross?
19:36Was it?
19:37She?
19:38She?
19:38There was a lady waiting.
19:40She's approached the crossing just as I've been coming through,
19:42and then you've literally just come straight through.
19:45Yeah.
19:45All right?
19:46So, how long have you had your licence for?
19:48Uh...
19:48A month and a bit.
19:50A month and a bit, okay.
19:51I can't ignore the fact you've just come straight through,
19:54then I'm a bit expecting you to stop, all right?
19:56However, I am also mindful that you're in your first, what, month,
19:59two months of driving.
20:00The last thing you ought to be doing is accruing penalty points straight off.
20:03Yeah.
20:03Okay?
20:04So, I'm going to deal with it is by what's called a Section 59 warning.
20:07Oh, ****.
20:08Another one.
20:09What do you mean, another one?
20:10I had one on my bike.
20:11Did you?
20:12When was that?
20:12Well, years ago.
20:14Yeah.
20:14It's explained.
20:15Okay.
20:16Yeah.
20:17Luckily.
20:18So, I'm going to put one as an alternative to prosecuting you.
20:20Yeah.
20:21All right?
20:21Because the alternative would be,
20:22we prosecute you for driving without due care of attention.
20:24Yeah.
20:24So, I'll take some details from you.
20:26Yeah, yeah.
20:27What's your name, sorry?
20:28Jack.
20:29Just grab a seat in here for us, Jack, all right?
20:30Just because it's freezing cold.
20:32Just grab a seat in there for us, mate.
20:37And it's Jack.
20:38What was your middle name, sorry?
20:39Steven.
20:40Steven with a V?
20:42Uh, do you know what?
20:43I think so.
20:43I don't know.
20:45You don't know how to spell your middle name?
20:47No, honestly, I don't.
20:49I think it's Steven with a V.
20:51You think it's Steven with a V?
20:52Yeah.
20:52No, it is Steven with a V.
20:54All right, do you need me to check on your driving licence?
20:57Nah, it'll be all right.
20:58You've got a 50-50 chance.
20:59Are you going Steven with a V or Steven with a V?
21:01Steven with a V.
21:04You're correct.
21:04It is Steven with a V.
21:05Oh, f***ing section 59.
21:11It's better than points, isn't it?
21:14I look at it this way.
21:15I imagine your insurance isn't particularly cheap on that, is it?
21:18No, three and a half grand here.
21:19Yeah, so section 59 warnings, because they're not prosecutions, it's not going to affect
21:24your insurance.
21:26All right, so if you've had one of these before, what do you know about section 59 warnings?
21:31If I do, I'll say, um, get a car seized.
21:34Yeah.
21:34You have to be a bit careful then, don't you, now?
21:36Yeah.
21:37All right.
21:37Hmm.
21:38Any questions at all?
21:39No.
21:40All right.
21:41Two seconds and I'll come and let you out.
21:42You're a bit of a Hull City fan?
21:50Hull City?
21:50No, I was a city.
21:51Yeah.
21:52Yeah, it's just been for you being from Hull.
21:55No, you're not from Hull.
21:56I'm not from Hull, no.
21:57Punished for many things as a child, but not being born in Hull.
22:00What are you from?
22:01I was from Hull.
22:02Oh, that's a bit of ash.
22:04Tell your thoughts, I'm from Posh Grimsby.
22:07Right.
22:08Right now you go, all right.
22:12Section 59 warning.
22:22They are a useful tool because it gives people a bit of a chance, if you like.
22:27But at the same time, it hangs over you because you've got 12 months now and any further sort
22:33of mishaps on the road like that, and he'd potentially have his car taken off him.
22:38He tried taking the Mickey out of me being from Grimsby.
22:41It's always nice to have a bit of rivalry with a ponter.
22:45Maybe he needs to remember how to spell his own name before he gives me his dick for
22:48being from Grimsby.
22:49Pasta for dinner left over from your mum that dropped it off.
23:07It's always nice.
23:08Slip that in there.
23:09That was a good one, I hope for you.
23:10At Melton Nick, PC Luke Thundercliff is fuelling up with the help of mum and a microwave.
23:21Lovely.
23:22Smells nice, Luke.
23:23Can't beat a bit of mum's cooking, can you?
23:25Can't beat your mum's cooking.
23:25Tastes good.
23:37So we're in the Volvo today, they're in my car.
23:41Right, let's go see what Humberside's got to offer today.
23:43I've been at PC now for eight years.
23:54In a previous life, before a police officer and I had done pretty much everything under
23:59the sun.
24:01Worked at Asda, worked in the warehouse, worked on the shop floor, worked at the till's, worked
24:05at the race course, was leaning jobs, worked at a bar.
24:09I'd like to think I was quite bad, but I've got plenty of tips.
24:14I don't get tips anymore.
24:18Don't get me wrong, I've had some propositions.
24:22Anybody will do anything to try and get our tickets sometimes.
24:31We're in the mark today, so we've got the ability to spot things that we normally won't
24:36be able to spot, mobile phones, etc.
24:39Yeah, look at that, mobile phone.
24:57And, stop it off, we'll have an in-scale load.
24:59So, the reason why I stopped you is the traffic light's back there.
25:18You're literally just sat playing with your phone.
25:21My phone?
25:22Yeah.
25:23Not my bit.
25:24No, definitely not your bit.
25:26Doesn't matter what you're telling me right now, I've been sat here next to you at the
25:29traffic lights.
25:29I'm in an unmarked car.
25:31You're totally oblivious, you're just staring forward.
25:33You've got your phone in your hands, messing about with it, yeah?
25:36Yeah, yeah.
25:36You've also got an in-scale load on there, because it's not held down by anything.
25:40It's inside the cage.
25:41Yeah, you need to have a cover on it, so it must be sheeted as well.
25:44So, someone's going to have to come out and sheet that before you go.
25:46Now, I'll get a big sheet of wood and I can strap that down and hold it all down, won't
25:51it?
25:51Just do a check and see if there's anything else.
25:54I know.
25:55And, erm, I think sheet of wood does something like that.
25:57You know, it can go on top of my pickle, put a bit of plasterboard on top and then we
26:02can just screw it all down.
26:04All right, nice one.
26:06So, obviously, done my checks on there.
26:07You've got previous for drug use.
26:21Roll up, roll up, roll up as the motoring circus comes to town.
26:28F*** down.
26:29See some death-defying manoeuvres.
26:34Wonder as red lights disappear before your very eyes.
26:41It's a show-stopping spectacle.
26:44Come on, come on.
26:47F*** moron.
26:48And with every ticket, you're guaranteed a clown.
26:54I didn't see him.
26:56No wonder you didn't.
26:57He just flew.
27:02So, the reason why I stopped is the traffic light's back there.
27:05Literally just sat playing with your phone.
27:07Not my VIT?
27:08No, definitely not your VIT.
27:10In Hull, Luke's investigating a van driver he spotted driving while using his mobile phone.
27:16So, they've done my checks on there.
27:19You've got previous for drug use.
27:21Yeah.
27:22So, obviously, committed a road traffic about.
27:24Seven years ago, yeah.
27:25No, not as long as that.
27:27I've been banned for four and a half and I've had my licence.
27:30So, as a result of that, I'm going to request a drug swipe from yourself, okay?
27:32Yeah.
27:33I think you don't use it anymore.
27:34No, no.
27:35Good.
27:36Makes it easier.
27:37So, if you just stick your tongue out for me, rub it around the top of my mouth.
27:39That's it.
27:40So, one, two, three.
27:42One, two, three.
27:43Three more.
27:44One, two, three.
27:44Perfect.
27:45Just come take a second in the car, then we'll wait for that to come back.
27:50Cheers.
27:51Not the best, mate.
27:52No, it's better.
27:56That one, because it's bloody freezing.
28:01What did you get?
28:02Four and a half years, you say?
28:03Yeah.
28:04One, yeah.
28:05How come so much?
28:06F***ing knows.
28:10Ah, disqualified as well.
28:12Yeah, at the time, yeah.
28:13Yeah, I think it won't.
28:15Because you've already got six points on there as well.
28:18Yeah, for on my phone, eh?
28:19Was that on your phone as well?
28:21Yeah, it's...
28:22My old van didn't have a thingy on it.
28:25Phone all done.
28:27So, I had it set up on dash.
28:29Right.
28:30So, drug results come back positive.
28:37Positive?
28:37Yeah, for cannabis.
28:38Right.
28:40It's about a minute of time.
28:41You're under arrest for Section 5, the Road Traffic Act.
28:45So, suspected to be able to prescribe for drugs whilst driving.
28:48Right.
28:48Just for transporting purposes, I was going to do a quick search, put some cuffs on, and
28:54we'll go to custody.
28:55Yeah.
28:55Okay?
29:00Just jump out for us then.
29:04Okie dokie, take a seat in there.
29:05Hello?
29:21Hey, how are you all right?
29:22It's a drug drive from Great Ewan Street.
29:24Yeah, come through.
29:35So, from just being on his mobile phone whilst driving traffic lights has resulted in him
29:54getting arrested for drug driving, getting dealt with for an insecure load, and using
30:00his mobile phone.
30:01He's already been dealt with for mobile phone not too long ago, and already been dealt with
30:06for drug driving.
30:07I just don't understand why someone who's already on six points is sat in traffic on his
30:10mobile phone, and obviously, to top it off, have cannabis in his system.
30:16Do you know what?
30:17He was a nice enough lad, but he's just made some poor choices, hasn't he?
30:20So, hopefully he starts making some right ones and grows up a little bit.
30:31It's a bit overcast, isn't it?
30:37I've seen worse weather.
30:38Yeah.
30:39We're at 11 degrees at the minute, though.
30:43Optimum operating weather.
30:47Things are hotting up for Billy and Nathan as they take their patrol to the North Bank.
30:52Let's go to all two upro traffic offenses we can find, if you want.
30:56Challenge good to meet you, mate.
30:57Kaboom.
30:58Is he serious?
31:11Not a good idea to pull out in front of a cop, let alone a traffic cop.
31:16Nath, just do us a check on your PNC.
31:20Will do.
31:26MOT's expired three days ago.
31:27We will give it a tug.
31:51Hello, mate.
31:52You all right?
31:53Do you know why I've stopped you?
31:57Yeah, so you've pulled out in front of us, haven't you?
32:01You didn't see us properly.
32:02That's quite worrying.
32:03That's concerning.
32:04What made you pull out on us?
32:05What made you not see us and stuff?
32:07I don't know.
32:08You guys maybe come past.
32:09I don't know.
32:10Jump out for me, please.
32:12We've had about 200 to 300 yards to see us.
32:14Our car's quite distinct and bright.
32:17Quite concerning, really, isn't it?
32:19If you can't see our car, what are you going to do when a motorbike comes up?
32:23I'm not saying I can see.
32:23Of course I can see.
32:24But I can't see how I'm going to drill.
32:27If you were to do that on your driving test, what would happen?
32:30I'm going to be failing.
32:31Yeah, OK.
32:32So your standard of driving has fallen below that of a careful and competent driver, hasn't it?
32:36Yeah, but I don't know.
32:37Maybe.
32:37To be honest, I'm not lying to you, yeah?
32:40Maybe I looked because you come from the left, yeah?
32:43You've not looked.
32:44All you had to turn around and say there is, I'm sorry I made a mistake.
32:48No, I'm accepting that.
32:49I didn't mistake, I know.
32:50I'm accepting that.
32:52Also, your MOT's expired on the car.
32:54You can't drive that car anymore until it gets taken to an MOT.
32:57Yeah, I'll take it to the MOT tomorrow.
32:59No.
33:00If that vehicle gets driven again, you'll get another ticket for driving with an expired MOT.
33:05I'm going to live in my cousin's shop.
33:07I can live in his parking.
33:08No.
33:09That vehicle needs to be pulled up and parked up until you've got an MOT test booked.
33:13OK.
33:17The vibes that I'm getting from you tells me that you're going to continue to drive it.
33:20No, no, no.
33:21I'm not going to drive.
33:22Sweet.
33:22I'm going to just find the parking here somewhere and leave it here in the car.
33:26Brilliant.
33:27I'm going to walk.
33:27So you've got a fair warning.
33:29Yes.
33:29All right?
33:30Get it MOT'd.
33:31Yeah, yeah.
33:31Yeah?
33:47Talk about drawing attention to yourself.
33:49I'm going to pull out on a police car to the point where it nearly stops.
33:52Because if you can't see a fully liveryed police car, a cop with a bald head that's probably
33:56shining in the front of a passenger seat.
33:58Quite a large, beautiful head, I may add.
34:01You can't see if you don't look and he's not looked.
34:04Should have gone to Specsavers.
34:05Yeah, I'm a bit of a car geek.
34:07Yeah, I'm a bit of a car geek.
34:20I like fast cars.
34:21I like fast cars.
34:23Fantasy-wise, if you could go police somewhere and drive the vehicles that they drive, there
34:27is no better place than Dubai.
34:29Like, who would not want to go to Dubai and drive all the supercars that they get to drive?
34:33I think they've got Ferraris, I think they've got Koenigsegg, I think they've even got G-classes.
34:37It's just insane the amount of money they get thrown at them.
34:40But if they're going around people with supercars all the time, then they're going to need
34:44to, I think.
34:46Luke has to settle for a 300-horsepower Volvo.
34:50But he can still get his kicks pulling over fancy cars.
34:54I had a Lamborghini and a couple of Porsches.
34:57I had a baguette chair on it, didn't have a front number there on.
35:01That's a few million pounds worth of car.
35:02That's probably the best car I've stopped.
35:04The disappointing thing was it was a leech car.
35:07So it wasn't even like they owned it.
35:26The van behind me is looking pretty close.
35:29I don't know why he wants to go past me.
35:31It's 40 miles an hour.
35:32Let's see what happens if it comes by.
35:43Yep, he's over 14.
35:46Relay out as well.
35:47Definitely worth a check.
35:48When driving behaviour just isn't cricket.
36:06It can leave you feeling stumped.
36:10What are you doing?
36:11And when pacey motorists are on a sticky wicket, you can end up being hit for six.
36:22The van behind me is looking pretty close.
36:31Let's see what happens if it comes by.
36:33Yep, he's over 14.
36:40Relay out as well.
36:41Definitely worth a check.
36:42In Hull, a speedy van driver has just caught Luke's attention.
36:49Hang on November 1-2, take search.
36:51November 1-2, go ahead.
36:53Just travelling here, 63 westbound.
36:55Have him with vehicle check, please.
36:56To Vauxhall, the bar, I think it is.
37:00You confirm that's coming back?
37:02MRT expiry.
37:02I think we'll have this one.
37:05Definitely light it out.
37:06His MRT's expired, so we'll get this one in as soon as we can.
37:12Dodgy van drivers don't always stop for the police.
37:22In Peterborough, Cambridgeshire police are face-to-face with a suspicious van driver.
37:29And he's not up for a chat.
37:32Beating a hasty retreat.
37:39Before hitting the gas.
37:43We're coming out on London Road.
37:45Left, left, left, towards Yaxley.
37:49His driving goes high risk.
37:52Straight through the whites.
37:56Swerving through junctions.
38:02As the suspect hits the A1, more patrols join the chase.
38:08As cops block the van in, the driver just keeps on going.
38:14Smashing into police cars.
38:15Before finally being brought to a stop.
38:19Stop, stop, stop.
38:20On the ground, now!
38:21Get down on the ground!
38:23Down!
38:24Down!
38:24Despite his protests on the floor.
38:28I was driving!
38:30In court, the man pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, driving while disqualified, and driving without insurance.
38:37He was sentenced to 14 months in prison, suspended for 20 months, and disqualified from driving for 18 months.
38:45And we'll have this one.
38:53Back on the A63.
38:55Luke has banged on the blues for a speeding van driver.
39:02MOT's expiring.
39:05Missing an MOT.
39:06I've stopped you, first of all, because you've got a light out at the back.
39:16And you've overtaken us, and it's 40 back there.
39:18It's obviously drawing my attention.
39:20Whose van is it? Is it yours?
39:22No, it's your van, is it?
39:23It's his van, yeah.
39:25Do you want to just come to see the back of my chat?
39:30Did you not see the 40 signs?
39:32I did, yeah.
39:32Obviously, it's no excuse for a two-and-a-half-hour drive, so...
39:36I'd say you've got insurance to drive the van.
39:38Yeah.
39:38It's covered by business insurance.
39:40I'm hoping.
39:43It's just talking to me it covers everything.
39:46You work for him, do you?
39:47Yes, mate, yeah.
39:50What business is it?
39:51Flooring.
39:52Okay.
39:54You're not sure on this insurance policy?
39:58So you insured on any other vehicle?
40:00No, no, I haven't got a car, because I just tend to work a lot.
40:04You haven't got a licence anyway, have you?
40:06Should have.
40:08You have a provisional licence holder.
40:10I don't know.
40:11You mean all right?
40:13You don't even know if you've got a licence or not.
40:14No, no, no.
40:15Have you ever done a driving test?
40:16Yeah.
40:17When did you use a driving test?
40:19Seven or eight years ago.
40:22Just do a check and see if there's anything else to say why it's a provisional.
40:26I've been pulled and had points on the licence, obviously.
40:33I don't know if that's...
40:34You say you got points before?
40:36Yeah.
40:36So your points was for no insurance, and for driving otherwise in accordance with your licence.
40:45Do you remember that now?
40:46Yeah, yeah.
40:47I got pulled for speeding, I think.
40:49Right.
40:50Similar to now.
40:51Yeah.
40:52Yeah?
40:52Yeah.
40:53Obviously don't learn your lessons very well, do you?
40:54The other issue is, it's got no MRT on it either.
41:01Joking.
41:03That didn't even tax either.
41:05God.
41:06So what's going to happen is, I'm going to deal with you for no insurance, and for driving
41:10otherwise in accordance with your licence.
41:12I'm going to deal with him for the MRT issues.
41:17Get this boat.
41:19Can you come and take a seat in the back of the car for a chat, please?
41:23Yeah.
41:24Obviously, you're the owner of the vehicle.
41:32Yeah.
41:35MRT's expired.
41:38MRT can't be expired, you've got...
41:42It's not taxed either.
41:44I didn't realise it's gone, I'm going to be expired, I've rolled my hands up, sorry, I didn't realise that.
41:49What is the policy on the van?
41:50Who's the holder?
41:52It's me, someone who's doing business insurance.
41:53Because at the moment, it's only shown as you as the policy holder, and then are you too insured to drive it?
41:59It shouldn't be, mate.
42:00I normally drive the van, that's normally the van I drive, so it's just, we're working away.
42:05I'm knackered, he said he's driving, so I didn't realise that was the crack office, I wouldn't let him drive.
42:09Right.
42:10So I'm guessing the reason you let him drive is because you're disqualified.
42:12I'm not disqualified.
42:15You are showing us it's a qualified licence holder, aren't you?
42:18Well, that's obviously, I can't be old, I didn't even realise that I'd gone, I wouldn't get a letter or anything.
42:23Listen to me, you're not driving now, are you?
42:24No, I'm not now.
42:25So luckily you're not, is what I'm saying.
42:27Yeah, I know, yeah.
42:30So what's going on with the van?
42:30He'll be getting seats, because neither of you can drive it, because he can't drive it either.
42:35Why?
42:35Because he's a provisional licence holder.
42:38Oh, I didn't know that.
42:39You can get what you want out of the van before it gets recovered.
42:45It's hanging November 166.
42:48Can I have a 165 recovery from the BP carriage at North Ferroby, please?
42:53Yeah, it's got steam sent through.
42:55I want your pepperoni, thinking we'll just be going straight back, but...
42:59Cheers, mate!
43:00Might as well fill up while we're here.
43:30Serves a job for later.
43:32Two jobs in, one there.
43:33Filling up and getting rid of the no insurance.
43:37Who said Menkart Multitask?
43:38Yeah, that was a good little stop, that, really.
43:49Definitely not what I was expecting from a light being out, and then no more tea.
43:55At least he gets to go, and with pepperoni pizza, though, he's pleased about that.
43:58I think I'd have been a bit more annoyed at my boss, to be honest with you.
44:01Even if he handed me a pepperoni pizza, I wouldn't say thank you for the amount of points and the fines I've just got.
44:06If you have any dashcam clips you think could feature in the next series of motorway cops, catching Britain's speeders, send them, along with your contact details, to contact us at purpleproductions.co.uk.
