00:00Ah, there is absolutely no way.
00:07A collision in Newcastle is keeping PC Jamie Leslie busy.
00:12There's some damage to the barrier.
00:14He's just overcooked it a bit when he's came round the roundabout.
00:17And giving PC Jan Sheimlisher...
00:19It is probably a write-off.
00:21..driving déjà vu.
00:23To be fair, I did exactly the same 19 days after I passed my tests.
00:2717-year-old lad, gone round a left-hand bend just like this, too quick.
00:32I'm putting my life in your hands today with you driving.
00:41UK police forces have been sent over 100,000 dashcam clips,
00:47exposing the most dangerous drivers on our roads.
00:52All hell has broken loose on our highways.
00:58Are you on a lesson? At least it wasn't your test.
01:01We join the motorway cops of Northumbria Police...
01:05Shall we gun? Why, aye, of course we're gunning.
01:08..as they drive criminals of the north-east off the roads...
01:13Trash, trash, trash.
01:15..and put the deadliest drivers behind bars.
01:18Stand still!
01:22I'm a police officer. What do I look like? I'm in fancy dress.
01:25Do whatever you want. Do you want to arrest me? Do it.
01:28I'll let the dog out, won't you?
01:30I'm getting a little bit bored of you now.
01:32Jazz, bunch of moppings.
01:34Helping them in their battle with idiots behind the wheel is dashcam.
01:38It's vital evidence...
01:40Does everyone have any dashcam at home?
01:42..and proof that Britain's dumbest drivers...
01:45Bloody idiots.
01:47..are a law unto themselves.
01:50Police 1, criminal nil.
02:01Tonight...
02:03What's the deal?
02:06Stop, stop, stop.
02:08..a car on cloned plates...
02:10So when did you get the car? This morning, mate.
02:13..may have been bought for a steal.
02:15Crowbar. It's a different number of plates.
02:17About a cup of that. Gloves.
02:19I was born a quicker.
02:23This chap here made the stupid decision to use a phone while he's driving
02:27as he's come past a police station.
02:29A distracted driver holds his hands up.
02:32I'm not going to...obviously.
02:34I'll...
02:36I appreciate your honesty.
02:40Watch. So I'm at a tun.
02:42Still not getting close to you.
02:44Sure. I've got a head start.
02:46And a flagrant speeder gives himself a ticking off.
02:50I'm going to issue you with section 59 warning notice.
02:53If you're...
02:55Your words, not mine.
03:06The north-east of England is home to the UK's favourite night out, Newcastle.
03:15And when darkness descends on his city...
03:18I think it's going to be a chilly night tonight.
03:20Clear sky, full moon.
03:22..PC Brian Camsell knows criminals come out to play.
03:26I'm not quite sure what the correlation is
03:28between the moon and people's behaviour,
03:30but we certainly do see a difference.
03:32It tends to be a lot busier.
03:34You get a lot more strange job.
03:37It's not always a good sign. It's in for a busy night, I think.
03:41After fighting crime for 16 years,
03:44Brian's had his fair share of slippery customers.
03:51I captured a python in Down Jesmond Dene.
03:55A member of the public going up and just said,
03:57there's a snake in the dene.
03:59I went down and just picked it up.
04:03It was probably about four, five foot long.
04:06It was a nice size.
04:08Put it in the back of the car and took it to the police station.
04:10Found a box.
04:12Somebody got a fright, actually.
04:14We opened the box, not knowing what it was.
04:16This dripping snake.
04:19Hopefully, it's an action-packed night.
04:21See where the night brings us and the radio sends us.
04:2412-86. Gonna head to the area.
04:32We've got one of our firearms officers behind a vehicle.
04:35We're gonna get him.
04:36There's a guy with a gun.
04:38I'm gonna shoot him.
04:40There's another guy with a gun.
04:42I'm gonna shoot him.
04:44There's another guy with a gun.
04:46I'm gonna shoot him.
04:48There's another guy with a gun.
04:50I'm gonna shoot him.
04:52There are firearms officers behind a vehicle.
04:54Zintel suggests that a genuine vehicle has actually
04:58been exported out of the UK.
05:00That being the case, this is going to be the clue.
05:13If a car is on false plates, what's it up to?
05:17Is it to deliberately change the plates
05:19to hide document offences, so no licence or insurance?
05:23Or have we got more with this one?
05:25And is there more criminality involved?
05:31There's several reasons behind it.
05:33Each one carries its own risk.
05:37The plan now is seeing if I can get ahead of it
05:40with a view to getting it stopped.
05:42Drivers on cloned plates are often
05:44behind more serious crimes.
05:50On the M1 near Leicester, motorway cops
05:53are onto a pair of criminals refusing
05:55to stop in a stolen Mercedes van on cloned plates.
06:00Nottinghamshire police surround the vehicle
06:03to try and end this dangerous high-speed chase.
06:07Unbelievably, one of the suspects
06:10is filming everything from the passenger seat.
06:12Get wrapped, you shoot.
06:14While Mark is on the phone with the police,
06:18while mocking the cops.
06:21As one patrol car tries to box the van in,
06:26the driver rams the police vehicle so violently,
06:29it's sent spinning.
06:32Miraculously, the officers were not seriously injured.
06:42After an astonishing 70-mile chase,
06:45these brazen thieves finally feel the full weight of the law.
06:51They both pleaded guilty to handling
06:52stolen goods, aggravated vehicle taking,
06:55assault causing bodily harm, and criminal damage.
07:00The passenger was jailed for two years
07:02and banned from driving for two years.
07:04The driver was jailed for three years and nine months
07:06and banned from driving for three years and three months.
07:15SIRENS BLARE
07:31The vehicle has been cited in this area.
07:33It's not far from us.
07:38In South Shields, Brian and several other units
07:41are on the tail of a car on cloned plates,
07:43are on the tail of a car on cloned plates.
07:48It's about keeping the wits about, good observation.
07:55Because it's a cloned vehicle
07:57and a little bit of the unknown,
07:59rather than just putting the blue lights on
08:01and giving it an opportunity to disappear
08:03and going into a pursuit.
08:05So they're looking at three cars around it
08:07to bring it to a controlled stop.
08:10It's always challenges.
08:11It might be that they don't want to comply with the tactic
08:15and they could start ramming us.
08:18But by having enough units there,
08:20if it is the extreme, if it's a burglar in a stolen car,
08:24we can deal with it if it did go into a pursuit.
08:34We're on the roundabout.
08:42So we're in the pack now.
08:49Jake, I'm behind you in the unmarked with you, with you now.
08:52Yes, yes.
09:04Taking a second, taking a second.
09:05Right.
09:08Three tactical cars go for pre-emptive box.
09:12I'm good.
09:13I'll take front.
09:32Getting to work on Britain's roads
09:36is a job in itself.
09:42Too many stressful meetings.
09:45Are you serious?
09:47Bad management.
09:49What's all that about?
09:50Burn!
09:52And no fast track to promotion.
10:04Three technical cars go for pre-emptive box.
10:06I'll take front.
10:08In South Shields,
10:10Ryan and other patrols from Northumbria Police
10:13are closing in on a car on cloned plates.
10:16Keep it rolling, keep it rolling, keep it rolling.
10:19Stop, stop, stop.
10:27Is it your car, is it?
10:28It is.
10:29Have you got anything with your name on?
10:31Have you insured the car?
10:33I haven't been, no.
10:34You haven't?
10:35I'm covered, I'm on a trader's line.
10:37Tell you what we'll do.
10:38I've got a receipt in the back of my car.
10:54So when did you get the car?
10:56This morning, mate.
10:57This morning?
10:58I've been up working it, haven't I?
10:59No.
11:01So do you have receipts and things for the purchase of the vehicle?
11:04I haven't, no.
11:05I paid cash for it this morning, mate.
11:06I didn't really keep receipts, if I'm honest.
11:11Right, we'll have a little look through the car.
11:23Crowbar.
11:24Different number of plates.
11:30Ballot cover.
11:31Gloves.
11:32It's going to print for stealing.
11:37Right, I'm arresting you on suspicion of an offence,
11:39a criminal offence of going equipped to steal.
11:41OK?
11:42I'm going to handcuff you.
11:43Right.
11:54So what's the crap with that car, then?
11:56Have I lost that car now?
11:57I'm not sure at the moment.
11:58We need to make some more enquiries.
12:00Like I said, you've been arrested on suspicion of going equipped to steal.
12:03We need to do a bit more work and find out what the score is.
12:27He's telling me he's a trader, he's bought it today.
12:29I'm sorry, mate, but we're not going to sell it.
12:32I'm sorry, mate, but we weren't born yesterday.
12:36All sorts of stuff in the car.
12:38Variety of items in effect.
12:40A thief's toolkit.
12:43Nobody's hurt, no damage has been caused.
12:46Job's a good'un.
13:02First things first, I've got to kit it up.
13:06Car keys, pepper spray,
13:09camera,
13:11radio, torches,
13:13taser,
13:14the mighty pocket notebook.
13:16Get your details in there, you're in trouble.
13:18Never mind all of this kit, you don't want your details in that pocket notebook.
13:21Because at the end of the day, the pen is mightier than the sword.
13:24Ready to dish out some poetic justice.
13:26Let's get some details in this notebook.
13:28It's PC Martin Anderson.
13:32There's a few of us out of the day.
13:34I would hope we'll generate some good stuff.
13:38There's always something going on.
13:40It's just about being in the right place at the right time to find it.
13:48He's got his phone in his hand.
13:50This chap here made the stupid decision to use a phone while he's driving,
13:53but then he's also chosen to do that as he's come past a police station as well.
13:57It's a little bit silly, isn't it?
14:00Really bad timing for him and perfect timing for us.
14:06People think that if you're a thief,
14:08you've got to know how to use a phone.
14:10You've got to know how to use a phone.
14:12You've got to know how to use a phone.
14:14You've got to know how to use a phone.
14:16You've got to know how to use a phone.
14:18People think that we could be out doing better things,
14:21but at the end of the day,
14:23it's a massive contribution to serious and fatal road traffic collisions
14:27and that's why we do enforce it.
14:31So we'll have a word with him about that.
14:48Hi, mate. You all right?
14:50Yeah. Just speaking about your mobile phone
14:52that you're using when you come past a police station.
14:54Right.
14:55Come and have a jump in the car, mate.
15:03Yeah, so as we've been waiting to come out of the police station,
15:06you've come past us and I've seen you with your phone in your hand.
15:11And that's the reason I've stopped you.
15:13Have you got anything to say about that?
15:15I shouldn't have. I know I shouldn't have.
15:17Just literally...
15:19Are you aware that it's an offence to use a mobile phone
15:22while you're driving, yeah?
15:26Literally just dropped the car off.
15:28So I was just telling them,
15:30the car's in the car park, the key's in the office,
15:33just so they know it was there.
15:35Right, OK. Well, I appreciate your honesty
15:37because a lot of people get in the car,
15:39we'll save up them, won't you, isn't it?
15:41It's pointless.
15:43Me lying to you will get your back up.
15:45You then get angry with me, then I'll...
15:48I don't get angry. I don't get angry.
15:50No, but you know yourself.
15:52If somebody's lying to you straight in the face...
15:54Oh, yeah, well, we know they're lying, yeah.
15:56..you're going to be f***ed off, aren't you?
15:58So I'm not going to f*** you up.
16:03I am going to be reporting you for the offence
16:05of using a mobile phone while driving a motor vehicle
16:07on a public road, OK?
16:10So they'll contact you,
16:12probably with a conditional offer of points and a fine.
16:15Self in the motor trade, you need a clean licence
16:17and insurance and an offer as it is.
16:19But you also know that you shouldn't be using your phone as well.
16:22I know.
16:24And I get that, you know, the industry you're in,
16:26you'll be receiving loads of calls and things like that,
16:28but it's not worth taking the risk.
16:34See you later, buddy.
16:40I was all set for an argument there,
16:42cos normally people are like,
16:44no, definitely wasn't on my phone,
16:46definitely, definitely wasn't on my phone.
16:48To be fair to him, he's really honest.
16:50He's put his hands up straight away.
16:52But bang on the rights, I'm afraid,
16:54and he'll pay the price for that.
16:56If he learns from it, then great.
16:58If he doesn't learn from it and he does it again,
17:00he's potentially going to lose his licence.
17:02So, yeah, it's a bit of a bummer.
17:04It's a bit of a bummer.
17:06It's a bit of a bummer.
17:08He's potentially going to lose his licence,
17:10so I know what I'd be doing, not using my phone.
17:38I'll go and do that one.
17:48Two vehicle road traffic collision.
17:50Given where it's happened,
17:52let's get there as quickly and as safely as we can
17:54on blue lights.
17:56Confirm that there is no casualties.
18:08If it's a learner driver, driving that,
18:10that's a canny lesson they've had, isn't it?
18:20Hello, mate.
18:22Are you on a lesson?
18:24Ah, right.
18:26At least it wasn't your first time.
18:28Yeah, it wasn't my first time.
18:30Yeah, it wasn't your first time.
18:32Yeah, it wasn't your first time.
18:34Yeah, it wasn't your first time.
18:36Ah, right.
18:38At least it wasn't your test.
18:40There's an increased test tomorrow.
18:42Oh.
18:46Martin's cop buddy, PC Woolhunter,
18:48is getting the full story
18:50from the driving instructor.
18:52Right, what's happened?
18:54You've come round and round about here at the turn, right?
18:56Yep.
18:58The signal left to come off,
19:00and he's carried on coming round and round about.
19:02But I didn't see this car coming in the outside lane.
19:04Nobody injured?
19:06I think we're all good, mate.
19:08Awesome.
19:10It happens, unfortunately.
19:12Nothing that can't be fixed.
19:14No-one's hurt.
19:16Both of you, does it pull him off?
19:24So, damage only, aren't they safe?
19:26Thankfully, no injuries.
19:28They've exchanged the details
19:30for their insurance companies.
19:32Martin!
19:34You pass your driving test first time?
19:36Yeah, first time.
19:38First time pass, thank you.
19:40I didn't.
19:42Doesn't surprise me.
20:02I'll show you the most important
20:04part of any police station,
20:06and that is
20:08the tuck shop.
20:10You can sample
20:12some of the delicacies.
20:14We've got pop, chocolate, crisps.
20:16I've never seen a flapjack in my hair yet.
20:18At Eatall Lane Nip,
20:20PC Jamie Leslie
20:22is the driver.
20:24He's got a flat tyre.
20:26He's got a flat tyre.
20:28He's got a flat tyre.
20:31PC Jamie Leslie
20:33is investigating a shocking crime scene.
20:35Jan's been at this.
20:37He's left nothing
20:39but his classic colon cord
20:41of leftover ready-salted crisp.
20:55Got a bit of a
20:57cool today.
20:59I'm desperate for
21:01some form of sympathy,
21:03but just a little bit I think
21:05would make us feel slightly better.
21:07I'm not looking like a commendation
21:09from the king or anything like that,
21:11but it was a commendation from
21:13your inspector just saying
21:15it was really good that you came
21:17into work when you were unwell.
21:19I think just a small little note
21:21across my desk saying thanks
21:23would be nice.
21:29Can I have a look at that?
21:41It's a whole or two cars ahead.
21:43The car didn't look
21:45in particularly good nick.
21:49But also you can look at
21:51the way cars go.
21:53He could have gone straight on that
21:55road, but he's turned left and
21:57when we've been in sight
21:59there might be nothing,
22:01but things like that might
22:03kind of give the game away.
22:05We'll get it checked.
22:22That'll be ten.
22:24Yeah.
22:26Can I get a vehicle check please?
22:28Black Polo.
22:36If vehicles have been driven around
22:38without insurance, it tends to be
22:40that you just kind of scratch the surface
22:42when you have that.
22:44They'll be linked with further criminal activity.
22:49Occasionally you will just get the ones
22:51which I think will chance the hand,
22:53but it's really important that we try and get them stopped.
22:56Only half
22:58of UK motorists
23:00pass their test first time.
23:02It's a wonder
23:04some pass at all.
23:06Failure to follow
23:08road signals.
23:10Pathetic
23:12parking.
23:14It's a wonder
23:16some pass at all.
23:18Failure to follow
23:20road signals.
23:22Pathetic
23:24parking.
23:26And do not
23:28get started on emergency stops.
23:32Prove that some drivers
23:34need to go back to school.
23:36Oh no!
23:38You just crashed into me.
23:48Have a look at that.
23:50It's a Polo.
23:53Particularly good neck.
23:57In Northumberland
23:59Jamie is tracking a driver
24:01who is on the road illegally.
24:03I'm already expired
24:05in July. No insurance.
24:09It's really important that we try and get him stopped.
24:23Hello sir,
24:25you alright?
24:31Is it your vehicle, is it?
24:33My wife just dropped it off
24:35at the scrapyard.
24:37It's just not got any insurance on it.
24:39I thought it would still cover.
24:41It's not shown it's illegal to drive it on the road
24:43without a driver's certificate
24:45or insurance.
24:47Have you got a driver's licence on you?
24:49Yeah.
24:51There you go.
24:55Tango, 1050th.
24:57Can I just get a check on the driver
24:59of this vehicle please?
25:03Put it in the scrapyard.
25:05I know but it's still, the offence has been
25:07committed.
25:09Traffic outstander.
25:11Received.
25:13Right, so I'm reporting you for the offence of
25:15driving without a valid certificate
25:17of insurance for the vehicle.
25:19I'll go through some paperwork with you and I'll just
25:21give you all the documentation you'll need.
25:25Yeah, I'm going to report you for it.
25:27Doesn't mean you'll lose your licence or anything like that.
25:29Is there anything else?
25:35It's a leech. What's out of order?
25:37Taken.
25:39Yeah, I know but you can't drive it on the road without insurance.
25:45I've got to drive my vehicle on the road, doesn't matter
25:47It's got to be insured hasn't it?
25:49What happened if that journey that you crashed
25:51into something else?
25:56Two minutes, I'll get you the paperwork.
26:02I'm just what?
26:04Sorry?
26:06What?
26:08It's my job, it's what I'm here to do.
26:10I'm not out on...
26:14No, there's no point really.
26:17So...
26:19This is how you get the vehicle back
26:21should you wish to, alright?
26:23But there will be an uplift fee
26:25through them.
26:27So instead of getting some money
26:29we're now paying money.
26:35Alright.
26:37Happy birthday to me.
26:39I'm sorry to have met under these circumstances.
26:41Cheers mate.
26:43Right, see you later.
26:47It's quite simple.
26:49I know he was a bit disgruntled with it
26:51but at the end of the day
26:53he's known he's not had insurance.
26:55If he was to crash
26:57or hit someone
26:59on that journey
27:01it doesn't bear thinking about.
27:03So close but so far away
27:05and just to fan the flames a little bit
27:07because it was his birthday
27:09so he wasn't too happy with that.
27:11It's quite simple.
27:13I know he was a bit disgruntled with it
27:15but at the end of the day
27:17it was his birthday
27:19so he wasn't too happy with that.
27:21A little happy birthday present
27:23from Northumbria Police.
27:25He'll not be making that mistake again
27:27I don't think.
27:41I went through Tenerife
27:44for a stand due for a couple of days
27:46drinking lots of beers, eating lots of meat and steak
27:48and stuff like that.
27:50Lots of the lads have come back and they're still very well
27:52so thankfully I've done alright out of that.
27:54Thankfully it all still fits.
27:56Keen to get back to work
27:58and get stuff done.
28:00Let's go.
28:06After a weekend of fun in the sun
28:08Will is back to fighting crime
28:10and a rainy rush hour
28:12in Sunderland.
28:14We are down Hendon
28:16which is down the bottom end of Sunderland
28:18my favourite place to work.
28:20There should never be a dull day around here.
28:32We're in the unmarked area
28:34we're looking for people doing stuff that they shouldn't be doing
28:36we'll enforce anything we see
28:38and knack the bad guys shall we say.
28:42The benefits
28:44of the unmarked cars are brilliant
28:46with your criminals
28:48it gives you that split second
28:50to get one over on them sometimes
28:52or to see something that they're doing wrong.
29:00What's this absolute dafty doing?
29:06This lad's just overtook
29:08the unmarked police car
29:10the car's waiting to pull out of junctions
29:12in excess of the speed limit
29:14potentially going to cause an accident here.
29:20Absolutely ridiculous overtaking.
29:26He's driving down there
29:28absolutely careless
29:30and we'll get him stopped.
29:40Engine off
29:42jump out of the car
29:46jump in the back of my car please.
29:54Why are you driving
29:56the way you've just drove?
29:58I'm late for work that's all.
30:00Right so you're late for work
30:02so you've done an overtake when this car's
30:04pulling out of a petrol station
30:06I'm sorry about that.
30:08So it's careless
30:10hinging on dangerous
30:12you've then done another overtake on the approach
30:14to some traffic lights
30:16wrong side of the road
30:18your windscreen as well
30:20it's ridiculous
30:22it's a blacked out window
30:24it's ridiculous because
30:26you haven't washed your windscreen
30:28and if you're doing stupid overtakes like that
30:30it's dangerous.
30:32When was the last time
30:34you had an alcoholic drink?
30:36Yesterday
30:38at about 1 o'clock in the morning.
30:40You absolutely stink
30:42of drink mate.
30:48I can smell alcohol on you
30:50so I'm going to request a specimen of breath alright?
30:52What I'm going to ask you to do
30:54is take a nice deep breath
30:56blow into this machine until I tell you to stop.
30:58Do you understand that?
31:01Until I tell you to stop please.
31:03Harder, harder, harder
31:05Stop.
31:15You've failed the roadside breath test
31:17so you're under arrest OK?
31:21Legal limit's 35, you've blew 48.
31:23Alright? Do you understand?
31:25Do I have to say anything?
31:27Do not mention something until you're in court
31:29You're under arrest
31:31You're over the legal limit for drink
31:33You potentially, I'm surprised you haven't
31:35even killed somebody
31:37driving like that.
31:41Is it alright if I ring my mum?
31:43No, don't ring your mum please.
31:47Right, well head off.
31:55Where were you at last night like?
31:57So you're just out for a drink?
31:59Yeah
32:01Do you think it's going to be worth the fact that
32:03you're going to end up probably losing your driving licence or?
32:07No
32:09Do you normally drive like that or?
32:11I've never done it before
32:13You've got a thing
32:15and if you'd killed somebody whose fault would that have been?
32:17It would be my fault
32:21There's no excuse for it pal
32:23There's not
32:27There's not
32:49The lads who have just locked up
32:51blew 38
32:53so albeit it's still over the drink drive limit
32:55We don't prosecute anyone
32:57if they blow 39 or under
32:59So he's literally
33:01won that one
33:03by one or two units
33:05Very very lucky for him
33:07Thankfully he hasn't
33:09hurt anyone or himself
33:11Hopefully he's learnt his lesson
33:13but if not he'll come again and we'll get him
33:25Time for night shift
33:27I look in absolute state
33:29and I've only just started
33:31so I'll have to
33:33give the old boots
33:35a good polish
33:37because I know my good friend Martin
33:39will be disappointed in me
33:41Keen to keep up appearances
33:43is PC Jan Simlisher
33:45I mean that just shows
33:47hard graft
33:49They'll probably be ruined in about 20 minutes
33:51I've got to go
33:53They'll probably be ruined in about 20 minutes
33:55Not a 10 out of 10 but
33:57an 8
33:59Let's get out there
34:07Tonight
34:09Serbian born Jan
34:11has his first choice of ride
34:13The trusted Skoda
34:15Probably my favourite out the lot
34:17You know the Eastern European
34:19quality
34:22Nice big comfortable
34:24drives well
34:26Away the lads
34:38I moved here at the age of 10
34:40without knowing a single word of English
34:42The only English I'd previously
34:44heard before was
34:46maybe from American movies
34:48so getting used to
34:50the Geordie accent itself as well
34:52was a learning experience for me
34:54Geordie phrases
34:56you've got some things like
34:58well-eyed chicken pie
35:00which is just yes
35:02in short
35:04You've got way-eye-man
35:06again, yes
35:08There's just loads of things for yes
35:10Pure lush, geat lush, hellish
35:12Everything's like
35:14describing something nice
35:16in a better way
35:18No coffee
35:20Pure lush
35:30So the plan for this shift is
35:32we're going to go and have a
35:34little look around the west end of Newcastle
35:36When everybody's in bed
35:38all the wrongings come out of play
35:42First I'm going to go have a look at this one
35:44It's absolutely flying
35:48It's some sort of
35:50pick-up truck
35:52I mean big heavy vehicle
35:54and if it's wanting to stop quickly
35:56it's certainly not going to do it
36:02And the man who's driving surrenders
36:04he's all over the place
36:08Speeding plays a deadly role
36:10in a third of all fatal crashes
36:12In Nottingham
36:14a wanted man takes Nottinghamshire Police
36:16on a high-speed chase
36:18through busy city centre streets
36:26In desperation
36:28he veers onto the wrong side of the road
36:30just metres away from pedestrians
36:32and he's hit by a car
36:34and he's hit by a car
36:36and he's hit by a car
36:38and he's hit by a car
36:40just metres away from pedestrians
36:48Another unit joins the chase
36:50as the driver hurtles towards hordes
36:52of party-goers
36:54and continues to treat
36:56the roads like a racetrack
36:58mounting pavements
37:02and running red lights
37:07Until traffic forces him to slow
37:10allowing officers to strike
37:12and bring his night of terror
37:14to an end
37:20The driver pleaded guilty to dangerous driving
37:22and possession of cocaine
37:27He was sentenced to one year in jail
37:30and banned from driving
37:32for two and a half years
37:40Still in a 70 or 90
37:42Still in a 70 or 90
37:44Still in a 70 or 90
37:46speeding, weaving
37:48driving horrendous
37:52On the outskirts of Newcastle
37:54Jan's fighting to keep pace
37:56with a speeding pick-up truck
38:00Still not slowing down
38:02I mean, I'm in a big marked police vehicle
38:04I mean, I'm in a big marked police vehicle
38:06I don't know if he's seen me yet
38:08I've been behind him long enough now
38:10He's obviously not aware of anything
38:12that's going on around him
38:14and he's all over the place
38:18He could cause a serious accident
38:35With so many unwanted advances
38:37With so many unwanted advances
38:39What the f*** are you doing?
38:41Britain's roads are like a bad date
38:43Britain's roads are like a bad date
38:45That wasn't us, right?
38:47Terrible first impressions
38:49Terrible first impressions
38:51Clown
38:53Don't blow your horn at me
38:55and bad manners
38:59will have you rushing for the nearest exit
39:07Who?
39:16Still not slowing down
39:18I mean, I'm in a big marked police vehicle
39:20He's certainly not
39:22paying attention to the road
39:24because he would have seen me by now
39:26On the A1 near Newcastle
39:28Jan's on the tail of a speeding driver
39:32Try and pull it over
39:34see what the crud is
39:37Honk
39:53Hi mate, alright, do us a favour
39:55knock your car off for a second
39:57I'm not trying to be funny here
39:59but your driving's horrendous
40:01What are you talking about?
40:03Just jump in the back of the car
40:07Nightmare
40:14I mean, should you be driving it
40:16if you're aware that the tracking's off?
40:18Not leaving her, leaving her tracking off
40:22It's not
40:24but if you're driving your vehicle in a dangerous condition
40:26and you're weaving about on the motorway
40:28like you are there
40:30If you were to have a crash
40:32and that's brought up as an issue
40:34the responsibility lies with you
40:37Honk
40:41Are you aware of the speed limits
40:43on the A1?
40:45I am but I didn't look at my clock
40:47I'll show you
40:51So watch
40:53You've literally flown past us straight away
40:55and watch me speed
41:00So I'm at a ton
41:02I'm still not getting close to you
41:04I've got head start
41:07I've caught up with you now
41:09and I'm going behind you there
41:11at a steady 95 in a 60
41:13Even when you've got in the 70
41:15you've showed like no signs of slowing down
41:21I don't know how aware you are
41:23using your mirrors
41:25I've been behind you the whole time
41:27I can't see a thing
41:29Your speeds are just unacceptable
41:31If your tracking's off
41:33that's a top heavy vehicle
41:35That's a top heavy vehicle
41:37Look at the size of that thing
41:39Your braking distance and time
41:41is going to be massively affected
41:43Thank you
41:45How's it going?
41:47Good
41:49I've got a driver
41:51Can you put him through?
41:53That's down on the PNC
41:55No stops for Marcus
42:01Cheers, thank you
42:05So with everything
42:07being the case
42:09and your manner of driving
42:11I'm going to issue you with
42:13section 59 warning notice
42:15What's that mean?
42:17So it's a marker against that registration
42:19and your name
42:21and it lasts for 12 months
42:23F***
42:25Your words, not mine
42:27If you're stopped in any other car
42:29driving in the same manner
42:31that car gets seized
42:33Drive better, be a little bit more considerate
42:35You're a big lad, you're an adult
42:37you know what the crack is
42:39Watch what you're doing, slow down a bit
42:54He didn't have any previous points
42:56or dealings from us for driving offences
42:58so I thought I'd give him the benefit
43:00of the doubt this time
43:03I think we hate to prosecute
43:05every man and his dog
43:07that's not the case
43:09I'd much rather educate
43:11and make them understand
43:13why we've stopped them
43:15and if that makes them a better driver
43:17then I'm all for it
43:19The way he was talking
43:21I think he was looking for an argument
43:23Wasn't going to get one from me
43:25I haven't got the time or the patience for it
43:27But yeah, kill him with kindness
43:29It's nice
43:33If you have any dashcam clips
43:35you think could feature in the next series
43:37of Motorway Cops
