Motorway Cops Catching Britains Speeders S07E01
Transcript
00:01This car's been reported stolen.
00:07In Gateshead, PC Martin Andersons uncovered a case of buyer beware.
00:13The person who this car belonged to has been away out of the country.
00:17I think they've let someone use the car while they've been away
00:20and it sounds like they've sold it without this person knowing.
00:23This chap has got back to the UK today and has been like,
00:26where's my car?
00:27I know. The next bit of bad news is that we're going to have to uplift the car
00:32because it's technically shown as stolen.
00:34I'm pleased you'd have seen the funny side of it because I wasn't sure how that was going to go down.
00:38Imagine that, coming back and finding that your mate sold your car.
00:41This is the exact reason I don't lend my car to people.
00:48Bad drivers, beware.
00:51If the cops don't catch you, dashcam will.
00:54With 25,000 traffic convictions a year, down to your cameras,
01:00Britain's deadliest drivers
01:02have nowhere left to hide.
01:06Contact!
01:08And on the front line
01:11First down, now!
01:13Are our motorway cops.
01:14Are we going?
01:15Why aye, of course we're going in.
01:18We join Northumbria Police.
01:20You're not going to selfie with us, no?
01:21I've just took your car off you.
01:23As they chase down dangerous drivers.
01:26Runner! Mate, you're all bladded.
01:27You've had a drink haven't you?
01:29I've had two.
01:30And get the worst offenders.
01:31Listen to me.
01:32Not you listen to me.
01:33You could have killed someone then, eh?
01:34Off our roads.
01:36Do you know how they go?
01:38Yeah.
01:39Anything I do see may be given in evidence, Mr Officer.
01:43Helping them in their battle with idiots behind the wheel.
01:48Is dashcam.
01:50Have you seen the dashcam footage?
01:51It's vital evidence.
01:53And proof that Britain's dumbest drivers
01:56Are a law unto themselves.
02:00Police one, criminal nil.
02:11High risk, wrong sided collards.
02:14Tonight.
02:16Beatles crash, Beatles crash, runners.
02:19Cops tackle a fleeing suspect.
02:21Get out now!
02:23And a blazing car.
02:25Oh, there's a fire gun folks in for the car.
02:29This thing's a diesel.
02:30Smell it on my hands.
02:32A suspected fuel thief ignores the dangers of smoking.
02:36Drums called now.
02:38No, I don't think you're only smoking anything.
02:42Rule 44 I'm afraid.
02:44That's a feel.
02:45And a driver's defence rests on shaky silence.
02:49I haven't been drink driving.
02:51I have cold.
02:52Having a cold.
02:53It doesn't mean that you would blow over.
02:54It does affect.
02:55If you're doing an asthma one.
02:56I've been doing this.
02:57That isn't an asthma test.
02:59That's a drink drive test.
03:01Oh my God.
03:02Newcastle's party goers dressed to impress.
03:14And the motorway cops of Northumbria police are no different.
03:19I look for things that are compliment my eyes.
03:22Feature the bone structure quite well.
03:24Got me a little black number on to start with.
03:26Then we're going to go for a little contrasting yellow number.
03:29It's not quite the current fashion, but it's a classic look.
03:32And it is what we're going to wear on a night on the town.
03:33Sergeant Dave Roberts' uniform fits like a glove.
03:42But the same can't be said for his cop car.
03:45See, it's so close.
03:48Hang on.
03:50Get your legs in.
03:52Nobody doing anything bad for a while.
03:54That's in.
03:56Honestly.
03:57Good to go.
03:58Go and catch some back people.
03:59So this is a Saturday night.
04:14The weather is quite pleasant.
04:16There's a lot of people out and it's only going to get busier.
04:20I was last out in the city centre socially nearly a year ago now.
04:24It's not somewhere I would normally choose to go to.
04:26For no other reason that I'm boring and old.
04:29But I really get the appeal of the city.
04:31It's renowned the country over as the party capital.
04:34What that means for us is that people are going to be using cars
04:37and haven't been on a night out.
04:39We're on the lookout for those that are out committing offences.
04:43Intoxicated drivers.
04:52Just seeing a car ahead of us.
04:53Spidey senses tingling a little bit.
04:57Now they've gone through a red light.
05:005-4 I'll be.
05:02Citroen C3 in grey.
05:05There isn't tell on the vehicle.
05:08Mm-hmm.
05:10It's been seen driving with a different driver.
05:13The speeds around the estate.
05:15Yeah received, thanks.
05:17I'll give it a stop.
05:19Car leaving the city at this time of night.
05:21Clearly it'll be on a night out.
05:22I hope they've had fun.
05:24I also hope they haven't been drinking.
05:26For the sake of a two-second conversation.
05:28Sorts it out.
05:295-1 I think.
05:32This is Velocativium.
05:36No noise.
05:37Yeah?
05:38Because we've had fun.
05:39No noise.
05:40No noise.
05:415.5.5, this is Vettel's famous stop, northbound, New Bridge Street.
05:559.5.
05:569.
05:579.
05:589.

06:3822.
06:39On the outskirts of Newcastle city centre, a driver is refusing to stop for Dave's fellow Northumbria cops.
06:51In a desperate attempt to shake off the police, he rockets through a red light.
06:57Tracking the suspect from above, a police helicopter witnesses a terrifying near miss with another vehicle.
07:03The cops burst the car's tyres with a stinger, allowing another patrol to get ahead.
07:11But the driver refuses to come quietly, ramming the cop car from behind, making another brake for freedom.
07:20But a second stinger hits the spot.
07:24An officer swarm the vehicle, bringing the driver's deadly game of cat and mouse to a close.
07:30The man pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, driving without insurance, failing to stop and drug driving.
07:41He was slapped with a 40-month suspended sentence, 140 hours of unpaid work and banned from driving for two years.
07:49I think it looks to contain adult females.
08:01It's high risk.
08:03In the centre of Newcastle, Dave's fighting to reel in a dangerous driver who is refusing to stop.
08:09So, left, left, left, followed by an immediate right, right, right.
08:13More patrols join the chase, including P.C. Bryan Council.
08:22Car 2, with you, with you now?
08:24Yes, it's now left, left, left.
08:31It's straight over roundabout.
08:36Wrong side of bollards.
08:38Speed 6-0.
08:39High risk.
08:40There are pedestrians in the bars.
08:44I'm backing off slightly.
08:45Stand by.
08:50Dave's forced to slow, but Bryan's ready to pass.
08:56Crash, crash, crash.
08:58Beatles, crash, Beatles, crash.
09:00Runners.
09:00It's impossible to get bored with the game's driver's play.
09:21Some haven't got a clue, though.
09:24Whoa.
09:25Others are forced to scrabble for safety.
09:28Guess who's at fault here.
09:36In the game of risk, the rules are easily broken.
09:51Beatles, crash, Beatles, crash.
09:53Runners.
09:53In Newcastle, a driver who's made off from Dave has smashed into a shock.
10:01Get out of here.
10:03Just get out.
10:03Get out of here.
10:05Put your hand, put your hand, put your hand, put your hand, put your hand, put your hand.
10:11Bryan has one of the suspects, but the other is on the run.
10:14There's one runner, Myrtle Grove, Myrtle Grove.
10:22Is there any dogs in the area?
10:24Yes, yes, just on the bottom road.
10:25Five minutes.
10:27You down still?
10:28No, I don't.
10:29No.
10:33Is there anyone else in that car?
10:34No, but now that I was driving, it's based on us.
10:39I'll be this vehicle that's crashed at the front of a premises.
10:42It's taken out of the shop front.
10:44There's a fire going fire extinguisher in for the car.
10:47What's that fire?
10:49The car in the shop.
10:53Come on, man.
11:00Put it out or no?
11:02Stay where you are for the time being.
11:03Whose car is it?
11:05Not mine.
11:05Not yours?
11:06I wasn't driving, I'll just tell them.
11:13I'm fairly certain she was the driver.
11:18I mean, you can't see much in that image.
11:21I've got a feeling it's the driver that we've got here.
11:25Can I have a deal check?
11:29Records confirm the detained suspect is the owner of the crashed car.
11:33You've got a number of bags there with white substance in it?
11:38Yeah.
11:40It's got coke in our pocket.
11:42All right, there you go.
11:42So, cheers, Brian.
11:45I said, like, I've got the enemy pocket, but I wasn't driving.
11:47The dog team are on the scent of the second suspect.
11:59Come on out.
12:07Just do where you are.
12:09I'll be there at six, two, three.
12:10You've got one female detained in the garden here.
12:12You're locked up on the suspension of fear.
12:16Stop for police and they're just driving, OK?
12:20I don't know what you're locked on the boat.
12:22The taxi driver just kicked out, so I'm having a wee in the garden.
12:25You've got claret all over your face as well.
12:27You bet?
12:28Suggests that you've been involved in a car accident.
12:30I haven't been involved in a car accident.
12:32I've just had a wee.
12:34A mess, stupidity, utter stupidity.
12:49Brian's going to take one of the arrested persons in.
12:52The second person is just getting checked out by paramedics
12:54and then both will go to custody.
12:56I think that's a good job.
12:58But the consequences could have been much worse
12:59had they come into contact with another member of the public.
13:04I think that's a good job.
13:34That is top draw, worst kind of driving anybody can do.
13:52That we need to take off the road for as long as we possibly can.
13:57Could have just stopped at the don't.
13:59Some false belief in their own ability to get away from the police.
14:03We're out there, we're looking for them, we find them
14:05and we'll deliver them to the justice system.
14:09Now the really not so fun thing, paperwork.
14:12This is my new set of wheels.
14:32The other car that I had, it's going to be off the road long term,
14:34which I'm gutted about because that's the car I've had for a long time.
14:37It's a good, nippy, sporty little car.
14:39I feel like I should have a Burberry cap on
14:41and my socks tucked into my tracksuit bottoms while I'm driving it, to be honest.
14:44But we'll stick with the police uniform.
14:48Opting for a fancy car over fancy dress is PC Martin Anderson.
14:53My favourite bit about this car is, er, listen to this.
15:05Definitely makes you feel like Knight Rider.
15:07We're just missing the red light across the front
15:10and it needs to talk to us a little bit more.
15:13The V60, Tango 16, was a brilliant servant.
15:21Let's hope Tango 41 is just as good.
15:33Darkness is upon us
15:35and we are proactively combing the streets of Sunderland.
15:39It's very, very quiet.
15:41It's all about being prepared.
15:43I've got no doubt there'll be something happening somewhere.
15:56Quick emergency.
15:58Hello.
15:58The men's just gone in with three containers
16:00fighting in the petrol.
16:02I've got a couple of diggers.
16:05It's all units for observations for Y4 Transit.
16:08A couple of mails should be taking petrol from St. Dickens.
16:14We're right in the area of where it's being sighted.
16:18I'm trying to think where it might have went.
16:21To survive.
16:22There's a lot of attacks.
16:27Police emergency.
16:28I'd like to report on ongoing theft.
16:31We've got one person on site left and black.
16:33We should be having a feeling with one of the dumpers,
16:36so I presume it's a fuel theft.
16:38We'll get off to send their straight away.
16:40There's been another theft of fuel report coming now from a different site,
16:56albeit still within the same sort of mile or two radius.
16:59It's obviously going to be the same van.
17:01It makes you think that are they going to be out for the evening,
17:03going from site to site?
17:04There's a van there.
17:13Oh, damn it.
17:14I thought that was going to be it then.
17:18With things like this,
17:18I end up being a bit like a dog with a bone
17:20where I'm going to get more and more frustrated
17:22that we haven't got them.
17:23There's a bit industrial estate down here.
17:25This is our van.
17:41I'll be on behind that transit.
17:43Stay there, fellas.
17:59I'm done.
18:00Right, you were detained for the purposes of a search.
18:02Search for what?
18:04This has been involved in a fuel theft.
18:05No, it hasn't.
18:06I've just come from our last system.
18:08I am still at diesel.
18:09I've been cracking the injectors.
18:10Right, well, we'll make sure there's nothing in the van
18:13and then it will be an only one.
18:14Who's the diesel in the van?
18:15My diesel.
18:16Fucking work.
18:16I think mechanical engineering.
18:18I'm a fitter.
18:21Right, okay.
18:21Calm down.
18:22I'll be able to get the driver and the passenger detained.
18:26Can I have a five or something?
18:28No, I don't think you're only smoking anything.
18:29You stink of fuel.
18:30You're doing the gun up, man.
18:32I've never seen some...
18:33Well, that's because we've had a couple of reports coming.
18:38Right, now that we've calmed down, let me explain.
18:40All right.
18:40So,
18:40you're going to be searching
18:41because there's a suggestion
18:42that this vehicle has potentially
18:44been involved in...
18:45Right.
18:45I've got fuel, but I'm not pinching fuel.
18:49Is the back of it open?
18:49I'll show you.
18:50I'm handcuffed, man.
18:51I can't have gone anywhere.
18:52Sorry, you'll have a look at the photographer.
18:53I'm not in for...
18:54I'm not in absconding, neither.
18:59That's my fuel.
19:06Six kind of...
19:07I don't know how it looks, but I'm not getting charged because I haven't done it now.
19:13But that vehicle has been sighted on building sites.
19:15No, it hasn't.
19:16No, it hasn't.
19:16Well, it has.
19:17That's what we've been looking for.
19:17No, it hasn't.
19:18It's never been on any sites.
19:19And that's the cost of truth.
19:20I've just come from our lasses there.
19:22Can you just keep an eye on him?
19:23I'm not f***ing anywhere in my house.
19:25I know you're not.
19:29Stinks of diesel.
19:29Is it?
19:30It's not on my hands, so stop holding on to them there.
19:37In the back of here, we've got a hose pipe.
19:39It could be used to siphon the fuel from a fuel tank into these containers.
19:44I'll be giving you a book as a cell, please.
19:46There is six drums of diesel in the back of this van, so we'll bring him in.
19:52Right.
19:53Oh, you're not.
19:53Do you want to do a rest?
19:54You are, mate.
19:54You want to do a rest on suspicion of...
19:55Get me van card out of there.
19:56Get me van card out of there.
19:58We're on suspicion of theft, OK?
20:00Sorry, mate.
20:00I understand the spiel.
20:03Can I lock the van, mate?
20:04We'll lock it up.
20:05Who's got the keys?
20:05I've got the keys.
20:07What's the key here?
20:08You seized the van.
20:10Run that, man.
20:12Got a seat in there, mate.
20:13Well, it's been stinking in the car.
20:15Do you want to put it in the van?
20:16I don't believe...
20:16You just don't smell it at all.
20:18Are you all right, then?
20:19And I'll follow you in.
20:22There you go.
20:23Right.
20:23Lean back.
20:37I was about to get him in the car, and then I realised how sort of scruffy he was.
20:41I didn't want to spoil the seat.
20:42Bad enough just me being in there.
20:43I stink of it.
20:44The sun's going to be out.
20:58Being the fair skin that I am, the Viking in me, unfortunately I'll burn a little bit.
21:04I'll just put a little bit of that on me.
21:05It smells nice as well.
21:08You can get on the road.
21:16Definitely is a nice day.
21:1721 degrees.
21:19And rising.
21:20Ready to turn up the heat on dangerous drivers is officer 1286, a.k.a. PC Bryan Council.
21:34Everybody in the force has their own shoulder number.
21:381286 for me.
21:39You get the more comical ones.
21:41We've got a member of the team who's treble nine.
21:44We've got steps.
21:45His column is five, six, seven, eight.
21:46We can have a bit of fun with it.
21:50After covering my usual patch, Newcastle and Gateshead, I've spent 14 years working in that area.
21:5714 years comes with a bit of knowledge, not only for the roads, the layout, but also where to look for various things.
22:04I'll always keep my eyes open to see what we're going to find.
22:06Just got through, all right?
22:29You.
22:36I'll take it to your vehicle, is it?
22:38Yeah, my partner.
22:39Your partner's.
22:40Is it insured to yourself?
22:41And do you have a driving licence?
22:42I do.
22:43The reason I've stopped you is the red light that you went through on the roundabout.
22:46The red light?
22:46Yeah.
22:47Vehicle check, please.
22:49Can I pass the details?
22:50Yeah, I'll run him through.
22:52Can I just pull forward a little bit, like?
22:54All right.
22:54As long as the Ben's in the car seat.
23:01It's a three-a-box old Sephira.
23:04You've got a full licence.
23:06Do you know how many points you've got on your licence at the minute?
23:09Three.
23:10You've got three at the minute.
23:11Okay, and do you know what they're for?
23:12Speed and correct.
23:14They might have come off new, like, because it was ages ago.
23:16I've got ten points on these licences here.
23:21Why do you think you've only got three?
23:23Because I have.
23:24How many have I got, like?
23:25Ten.
23:26Ten points?
23:26Three points I've got.
23:28How can I have ten?
23:33Got two separate offences on there.
23:35One's an SP20.
23:36You should be speeding in a 20.
23:38And you've got four points from that, I understand.
23:40And the other one is in relation to notifying who the driver was of a vehicle at the time of an incident.
23:45So you received six points for that.
23:47So what do I get for driving through a red light?
23:49Red light is three points, which would make you disqualified.
23:53Normal.
23:54With regards to the red light, you'll have to go to court.
23:58Please slow down, especially with red light.
24:02Guessing this is your little one?
24:03Aye.
24:04You need to look after him, mate.
24:05It might be that somebody else chances the light on the other side.
24:08Two come together and the pen can get hurt.
24:10All right.
24:12Got any questions?
24:13No.
24:13Cheers.
24:24A little bit of in a hurry, unaware that there's a marked police car behind him.
24:29He's on the understanding who's got points to play with.
24:31It's not the case.
24:32Who knew that a little trip out would go so horribly wrong and become so expensive?
24:37I've got an ANPR alert that's come up in my car.
24:48It's linking a Citroen van to potential document offences.
24:53So it's raising suspicion as to whether the drivers have got a licence or even insurance
24:59to be used in the vehicle on public road.
25:02Definitely want to stamp that type of thing out.
25:04It poses a danger to everybody.
25:07It may be that there's a bit more criminality to it.
25:09So I'm going to head over to the area where it was last seen and see if we can strike
25:13lucky on this one.
25:31Just spotted it up ahead.
25:34We'll have a chat with the driver and see what the score is.
25:48Our social media habits are hitting the roads.
26:13Drivers subscribing to dangerous manoeuvres to keep up with what's trending.
26:25When motorists snap, chat gets personal.
26:31Be prepared to get unfriended.
26:34On the outskirts of Newcastle, Brian's tracked down a van linked to possible document offences.
26:50We'll have a chat with the driver and see what's the score is.
26:52Hello, driver. Is this your vehicle or a works vehicle?
27:03It's my cousin vehicle.
27:04Okay. Do you have your driving license with you?
27:05I have all been, yeah?
27:06Nice.
27:07So what's that one?
27:08It's my vehicle.
27:09Because I must be good on your track. Can you tell my friends?
27:11You can call your friend, yeah.
27:13Yes, certainly. So I'm just trying to explain to your friend that I need to see his driving license.
27:25Right. So where is his physical driving license?
27:51So this is a photograph. So really, I need to see this or an examiner because that could be fake.
28:01It's small speaking.
28:03But how do I know it's not fake?
28:04Tell you what, have you come and have a seat in the back of my car?
28:10I'll be able to hear you a bit better. Have you got your phone there as well so I can hear your friend?
28:22Hello.
28:23Can I ask if you use drugs, namely cannabis?
28:25No.
28:26No.
28:27Why do you smell of cannabis?
28:29OK, I can ask him.
28:31Is it a peach or cannabis?
28:33Is it a beer?
28:34Yes.
28:35He's coming to the door.
28:36He said, like, he doesn't smoke cannabis.
28:43I'm going to require him to provide me with a sample of saliva to test that saliva for drugs.
28:49Can you ask him if he'll provide a sample?
28:51OK.
28:52He's agreeing to give you a sample for a drug test.
29:01All he needs to do is open his mouth and stick his tongue out.
29:05Right, I've got that sample.
29:08Are you still looking for the photograph?
29:10Yeah.
29:14So that one's expired. So it expired in April.
29:17At the moment, I don't believe he's got a driving license, so I'm going to seize this vehicle and it's going to go to a police compound.
29:27OK.
29:32He's passed the drug test as well.
29:35OK.
29:36I know he's passed the drug test, but there's quite a smell of cannabis.
29:40So can he explain why he smells of cannabis?
29:43He's saying, like, he doesn't have any drugs or cannabis in his position at all.
29:52It could be rubbish when he's throwing away on the van and he, like, needs to clean up the houses.
29:57OK.
29:59I'm going to search the vehicle to make sure he's got no drugs in the van.
30:02The answers he's given me, I'm not totally happy with.
30:15He's suggesting that there may be stuff as a result of clearing rubbish away in the van.
30:19We'll have a look and we'll see what we can find.
30:21Oh, an empty van.
30:26Not what I expected.
30:36I don't know what that is.
30:38I'll go and ask him.
30:43Can I just ask what's in this box?
30:45I'm going to try this and try out the nut box?
30:48I'm going to try this.
30:49I'm going to try this.
30:50He said that he had the van full of rubbish and when he went throwing it away, he threw it out the box and without throwing it away.
30:59Right.
31:00It just seems strange that there's one that items left.
31:08Don't know what's going to jump out there than I see it.
31:10Ta-da!
31:20I believe that's baby cannabis pass.
31:27At the moment, he's been placed on arrest on suspicion of possession of cannabis.
31:35We've got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15.
31:3917, 18, 19 plants.
31:42Certainly the condition that the packaging was in, it doesn't look like it's something that's been discarded from a house clearance like this gentleman's trying to suggest.
31:52I knew there was something.
31:53It's finding it.
31:54Sometimes you've got to trust your gut at times.
31:57Just keep digging.
31:58That's what's happened today.
31:59There we go.
32:00Can you manage to climb out?
32:01I'm going to go over there.
32:02There we go.
32:03There we go.
32:04Can you manage to climb out?
32:05I'm going to go over there.
32:06There we go.
32:07There we go.
32:08There we go.
32:09Can you manage to climb out?
32:10I'm going to go over there.
32:11There we go.
32:12There we go.
32:13There we go.
32:14Can you manage to climb out?
32:15I'm going to go over there.
32:17Nice example of the copper's nose, although the smell of cannabis, you couldn't really hide that smell.
32:44Absolutely overpowering.
32:46I've dug and dug and dug and it's just pulling those strings until something comes loose and it's important to have that sort of tenacious attitude to keep going and not giving.
32:56I can't take my own car.
33:11I broke it yesterday, so I'm going to have to take Jan's car.
33:15We'll have to give it a bit of a look over.
33:17Probably a bit of used crisp packets and that in the door pockets, a couple of used coffee cups.
33:21It gets a bit gassy as well, so let me just get the air freshener in there.
33:25Carrying out a forensic examination of his substitute cop car is PC Jamie Leslie.
33:30It's not too bad, actually.
33:32I mean, it's not as clean as mine.
33:34It could do with maybe a little bit of a dust.
33:36But other than that, yeah, I'm quite impressed.
33:38It'll do us for the night with chariot.
33:41Just trying not to crash it, because that would probably annoy him.
33:44Jamie's heading the road for his night shift, fresh from a pamper day.
33:56I've got my hair cut.
33:57With a difference.
33:58I've got my eyes set on fire and I've got a weird neck rub off the barber, which is an unusual experience.
34:05It turned into more of like a throttle of my neck.
34:08I usually tip quite well, so I don't know why he's gone for that.
34:14Tonight, I'll be having a look round the West End area.
34:17Might be a good opportunity to catch some drink drivers.
34:20People maybe just finishing work.
34:22Think, oh, I'll just pop in for a few jars.
34:24And then they make a silly choice to try and get back home.
34:27So I'll try and catch them out.
34:39He's flying him.
34:45Just like an SUV kind of thing, going like a little bit quick down here.
34:49Just another one.
34:54Speeding drivers cause carnage on Britain's roads.
35:06In South Tyneside, a band driver unknowingly races past an unmarked Northumbria cop car.
35:14After a breakneck right turn, the police have seen enough.
35:17But stopping isn't on the cards for this driver, who continues to treat the roads like a racetrack.
35:29Until a red light spells danger.
35:33The driver smashes into a passing Mini, hurling it onto the wrong side of the road, destroying the front of the suspect vehicle.
35:39Miraculously, no one involved was seriously injured.
35:46The driver, who had nicked her mum's car, pleaded guilty to aggravated vehicle taking, dangerous driving, driving while disqualified, and driving without insurance.
35:57She was handed a 14-month suspended sentence and banned from driving for two years.
36:03He's flying him.
36:04Just like an SUV kind of thing going like a little bit quick down here.
36:13So we just don't know about this.
36:14In Newcastle, a speeder has caught Jamie's eye.
36:15In Newcastle, a speeder has caught Jamie's eye.
36:21It stops you work around this one.
36:26There hold this other street hut in town.
36:27The Reading Spirit
36:28The Green helmet also doesn't care what else does.
36:29In ningún ship.
36:30Oh man, I think I think it's a hard time for Jesse.
36:31And I think it stops you.
36:34So, captain, takes me tiempo, and he walks down.
36:37In Newcastle, a speeder has caught Jamie's eye.
36:38If it stops you on the Republican side.
36:43We should have a look at Wendy's side of Facebook.
36:482006 история
36:49Hello, you all right?
36:57Hi.
36:58Just getting a bit quick coming down here.
37:00Is there any reason for your speed?
37:02No, it's because the road was cleared.
37:05That's why.
37:06The speed limit still applies, so...
37:08Sorry about that.
37:10Right, have you got your licence on you?
37:12Just where are you off to?
37:14I'm going home, but I'm just dropping my sibling.
37:17Oh, you're right.
37:18Yeah.
37:19Yeah, it was a restaurant.
37:20You're doing the taxi run?
37:21Yeah.
37:22Have you had a drink tonight?
37:24Yes.
37:25I'll only have, I'll say, half a glass of wine.
37:43Always plan your route.
37:46Yes.
37:47Where's he going?
37:48He's on the wrong side of the road.
37:49He really has got a death wish, this guy.
37:50Because losing your bearings...
37:52Where's he going?
37:53Now he's going the wrong side of the keep left.
37:55Incredible!
37:56...can drive you bonkers.
37:58...fail to prepare.
37:59Then, prepare to fail.
38:05Is there any reason for your speed?
38:07No, it's because the road was cleared.
38:08That's why.
38:09Late night in Newcastle, and Jamie stopped a speeding driver.
38:14You had a drink tonight?
38:15Yes.
38:16I'll only have, I'll say, half a glass of wine.
38:17Yeah.
38:18Okay, we'll see.
38:19I'll just double check, okay?
38:20Yeah, yeah.
38:21Just have a see for us.
38:22Right, because I've witnessed you committing a move in road traffic defence.
38:23I.e. in relation to your speed.
38:24Right.
38:25Right, because I've witnessed you committing a move in road traffic defence, i.e. in relation
38:28to your speed.
38:29That's why.
38:30That's why.
38:31Late night in Newcastle, and Jamie stopped a speeding driver.
38:32You had a drink tonight?
38:33Yes.
38:34I'll only have, I'll say, half a glass of wine.
38:35Yeah.
38:36Okay, we'll see.
38:37I'll just double check, okay?
38:38Yeah, yeah.
38:39Just have a see for us.
38:40Right, because I've witnessed you committing a move in road traffic defence, i.e.
38:52in relation to your speed.
38:53I've got to power in to take every specimen of breath from you.
38:56Okay, one non-continuous breath in that.
38:58I'll hold it.
38:59Does it affect if I had cold before?
39:01What?
39:02If I had cold before, does it affect that?
39:04Cold?
39:05Yeah.
39:06No.
39:07Okay.
39:08Deep breath.
39:09Yeah.
39:10You've got to blow.
39:11Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going.
39:13Swallow them, thank you.
39:15Blowing 44, I'm afraid.
39:16That's a fail.
39:17The legal limit's 35.
39:18So are you going to be arrested for drink driving?
39:20I have cold before, so I don't know.
39:22Well, a cold wouldn't mean that you blow over the legal limit.
39:24Oh, God.
39:25Can I just get a check on the driver?
39:26Substantive on the deal.
39:27She wasn't named blue.
39:28No.
39:29No.
39:30No.
39:31No.
39:32No.
39:33No.
39:34No.
39:35No.
39:36No.
39:37No.
39:38No.
39:39No.
39:40No.
39:41No.
39:42No.
39:43No.
39:44No.
39:45No.
39:46No.
39:47No.
39:48No.
39:49No.
39:50No.
39:51No.
39:52No.
39:53No.
39:54No.
39:55No.
39:56No.
39:57No.
39:58No.
39:59No.
40:00No.
40:01No.
40:02No.
40:03No.
40:04No.
40:05No.
40:06No.
40:07No.
40:08No.
40:09No.
40:10No.
40:11No.
40:12No.
40:13No.
40:14No.
40:15No.
40:16No.
40:17No.
40:18I'm just going to put them on the front, all right?
40:20Why?
40:21Because you're under arrest.
40:22I don't need to be on the front.
40:23I know, I'm just putting you...
40:24Well, I've got to.
40:33I've never been in trouble with anything that's going to be there.
40:36Have you opened that door again?
40:37Yeah.
40:38Shut that door now.
40:41Right, listen, okay?
40:42You're under arrest.
40:43Don't go opening the doors.
40:44Why am I under arrest?
40:46Because you've been drink driving.
40:48I haven't been drink driving.
40:50I told you I only have a cold.
40:51I haven't eaten.
40:52The legal limit is that, right, well then you should...
40:54No, right, okay.
40:56I told you that I have cold.
40:57I can't breathe properly.
40:59Can you see the way I'm talking?
41:00Ask anyone if that's how I normally talk.
41:02Having a cold doesn't mean that you would blow over, does it?
41:07It does.
41:08Does it?
41:09Yeah, if you're doing an asthma one, it does affect if you have a cold.
41:13Well, that isn't an asthma test.
41:15Okay, that's a drink drive test.
41:18I haven't eaten any food today.
41:22Right, then maybe he's going and drinking alcohol wasn't a great idea.
41:25I only had half a glass of wine.
41:27That was even literally before I was leaving the restaurant.
41:34Putting me in handcuffs like I'm a criminal or something.
41:37This is painful.
41:38Because I suspect that you've committed a crime.
41:40This is painful.
41:41Which crime am I committing?
41:42Driving without insurance and drink drive.
41:47You guys are making this such a big deal.
41:49Well, do you know I'm not, actually.
41:51No, you are.
41:52It's like you're looking for someone to speak on.
41:53No, listen to me for a second.
41:57My job is a traffic cop.
41:59I'm the person who has to go knock on people's doors and tell them that their loved ones are
42:04dead because they've been killed by a drink driver.
42:05Do you think I don't understand that?
42:07Do you think I want to put myself in trouble?
42:09I know what I was doing.
42:11The only wrong that I did, I didn't eat before I had that half glass of wine.
42:15And I would tell you, any staff at my restaurant would tell you that.
42:19If I was driving my car, I wouldn't have a drink at all.
42:22And I certainly wouldn't be exceeding the speed limit.
42:24Oh, my God.
42:34OK, I'll just put your seatbelt on for you, Major.
42:36Is that all right for you?
42:38Yeah, I'll manage.
42:43A little bit chaotic, that, wasn't it?
42:49I'm feeling so uncomfortable.
42:54I've just got cold.
42:56I've had it for going to more than a week now.
43:01Something got around late, isn't it?
43:03Yeah.
43:12Owie dowie.
43:13I'll just watch you hit your head there.
43:19In custody, she's provided two specimens of breath, and the first one being 41, and the second one being 39.
43:42For us to progress, the man out of court, she has to provide over 40.
43:47However, we will only ever take the lower specimen of breath.
43:51So it's frustrating for us, but lucky for her, she didn't really fully appreciate what she'd done.
43:57She could have immediately lost her licence there, and it could always end in tragedy, that.
44:03Right, I've never heard that one before.
44:05She's only blown over on the roadside breath test because she's got a cold.
44:09It's certainly new on me, that one.
44:16If you have any dashcam clips you think could feature in the next series of Motorway Cops,
44:21catching Britain's speeders, send them, along with your contact details, too.
44:25Contact us at purpleproductions.co.uk.
44:30There are three Clarocaps.
44:33We'll be right back and see.
44:35We'll be right back and see.
