00:00Looks like the clutch has potentially gone on him.
00:07I'll just wait and hopefully they'll be able to fix it.
00:10Yeah, we'll just sit in the passenger seat for the time being.
00:21She's been a bit shaken up, so we'll go and get her a cup of tea.
00:26North of Newcastle, PC Jamie Leslie's on a brew run for the driver of a broken down car.
00:34Not all heroes wear capes, man.
00:37Some buy coffee and admit when they don't know how to fix a car.
00:41I've not come back to arrest yet.
00:44There you go. Sorry I couldn't fix your car, but at least you've got a cup of tea to keep you going.
00:49See you later.
00:52Didn't want a cookie?
00:55Bad drivers, beware.
00:58If the cops don't catch you, Dashcam will.
01:02With 25,000 traffic convictions a year, down to your cameras,
01:07Britain's deadliest drivers have nowhere left to hide.
01:13There we go.
01:16And, on the front line, are our motorway cops.
01:22Are we going? Why, aye, of course we're going.
01:25We join Northumbria police.
01:27You're not going to selfie with us, no? I've just took your car off you.
01:30As they chase down dangerous drivers.
01:33Mate, you're all bladdered. You've had a drink, haven't you? I've had two.
01:36And get the worst offenders.
01:38Did he do what I've just done, which is shoot Kennedy? But I nearly got away.
01:42Nearly got away, but you didn't.
01:43Off our roads.
01:45Do you know how they're called?
01:47Yeah.
01:48Anything I do say may be given in evidence, Mr Officer.
01:51Helping them in their battle with idiots behind the wheel...
01:56..is Dashcam.
01:57Have you seen the Dashcam footage?
01:59It's vital evidence.
02:00Do you want your address there?
02:02And proof that Britain's dumbest drivers...
02:05What have you done?
02:07..are a law unto themselves.
02:09Police one, criminal nil.
02:17There it is.
02:19Tonight...
02:24A man spells out his reason for a cloned plate.
02:41A drug user ignores a health warning.
02:49It's not my car, it's my mate's car, mate.
02:51Are you insured on it? No.
02:53And an illegal driver wants a slice of the action.
03:00The most expensive pizza.
03:11Behind every great motorway car is a high-performance police car.
03:15But at Eaton Lane, Nick, in Newcastle,
03:18one motor may be due for retirement.
03:21If I was to cruise my granddad across Britain,
03:23it would be a great car.
03:25Chasing baddies.
03:27Unless they see you, not too good.
03:29PC's Mark Crammond and Andy Clark have also spotted
03:33that their unmarked car isn't entirely unmarked.
03:37Have you seen the scratch on your car yet?
03:40I bet someone's got out of a vehicle.
03:42I bet someone's got out of a vehicle.
03:44I have, that's exactly what it is.
03:46Yeah, you'll not be able to take that out.
03:57Clark, you what sort of music you into?
04:00Boy bands.
04:01Boy bands? Oh, my God.
04:03Westlife. Westlife.
04:05Five. Five?
04:07Five bad boys with a power to rock you.
04:10Because it was Howard Webb in blue.
04:12Howard Webb? No.
04:13He was a referee.
04:14No, he was called...
04:17Not Howard Webb, he was called something about Webb, wasn't he?
04:20Simon Webb. Simon Webb.
04:22Yeah.
04:23LAUGHTER
04:37We're going to head towards the time tunnel
04:39because there's a car with a false plate.
04:41At the minute, we suspect there's been an ongoing
04:44and prolonged series of fraudulent offences committed
04:47from this vehicle.
04:48It's continually travelling through the time tunnel,
04:51avoiding fares by displaying fraudulent number plates.
04:56Apparently, he's gone through the time tunnel
04:58about 600 times without pay.
05:02You're looking around 1,300 quid.
05:05Well, then you've also got your unpaid fines on top of that.
05:08If you want to get a fine for every unpaid journey,
05:11it's about 100 quid a journey.
05:13Yeah. That's a lot, a lot of money.
05:16Drivers on fake plates will do anything to get away with their crimes.
05:28Near Birmingham, West Midlands Police spot a lorry with cloned plates.
05:34The driver knows the cops are on to him.
05:36He's trying to go one way down the motorway.
05:38And tries to give them the slip
05:40by driving straight into oncoming traffic.
05:43Smashing 12 tonnes of HGV into a cop car.
05:51Leaving one officer injured,
05:53the desperate trucker continues his rampage
05:56the wrong way down the M42.
05:59Until another patrol finally forces him to stop.
06:05Two suspects make their way down the motorway.
06:07Two suspects make a run for it.
06:09But the cops quickly catch up.
06:14Hidden in the lorry were three more men
06:17and £90,000 worth of stolen alcohol.
06:22The driver was found guilty of two counts of assaulting an emergency worker,
06:26conspiracy to commit burglary,
06:28dangerous driving,
06:30driving while disqualified
06:32and driving without a licence.
06:34Dangerous driving,
06:35driving while disqualified
06:37and driving without insurance.
06:39He was jailed for five years and eight months
06:42and banned from driving for five years.
06:47A further four men were found guilty of conspiracy to commit burglary
06:50and each jailed for a minimum of two years.
06:55Two officers were harmed in the incident.
06:58They've since returned to work
07:00but are still recovering from their injuries.
07:05MUSIC PLAYS
07:11There's a car which has had in excess of 600 tickets
07:16with a false plate.
07:18Andy and Mark are on the hunt for a car on false plates,
07:22avoiding fines through the Tyne Tunnel.
07:26Has it still been coming through the tunnel all week?
07:30Yeah, 25 past three,
07:32past three the last couple of days.
07:36We'll see if this car makes its regular journey
07:38coming through the Tyne Tunnel.
07:40Then, er, get it stopped, we'll have to investigate.
07:43It's unfair on everybody else who queues at Basel, isn't it?
07:47So, potentially, within the next hour,
07:49we might have eyeball on the subject vehicle.
07:54Hopefully, today's the day we get it stopped.
08:001519, it's just hit the southbound.
08:03It's on its way.
08:05It's on its way.
08:07It's on its way.
08:09It's on its way.
08:11It's on its way.
08:13It's just hit the southbound.
08:15It's on its way.
08:24There it is.
08:26There it is.
08:44When drivers get catty...
08:47..the claws come out on Britain's roads.
08:53Accidents avoided by a whisker.
08:57With no time to pussyfoot around.
09:03You'll wish you had nine lives.
09:14There it is. There it is.
09:18At the Tyne Tunnel, Andy and Mark are on the tail of a driver.
09:22Woman driver.
09:24Suspected to be using force plates to avoid fires.
09:29The vehicle's just came out of the Tyne Tunnel there,
09:32so we're going to follow it and try and stop it in a safe location.
09:37We've got two cars with us, so we can implement tactics
09:40to reinforce the stop if we have to.
09:46Just get away from the busy traffic first.
09:52She might be going in here for a shop.
09:56She is, she's going in.
09:59It looks like she's going to come to a natural stop,
10:02so we'll do back and front.
10:05Hello, it's the police. How are you doing?
10:08Right, I need to speak to you about this motor vehicle,
10:11because it's not shown us having this register anywhere,
10:14and it's picked up a load of fines within the Tyne Tunnel.
10:17Fine. OK. Do you want to come and join us in the back of the car?
10:20It's just we need an ambulance.
10:22OK.
10:24We're going to be driving around the Tyne Tunnel.
10:26We're going to be driving around the Tyne Tunnel.
10:28We're going to be driving around the Tyne Tunnel.
10:31OK. Do you want to come and join us in the back of the car?
10:33It's just we need to ask the Tyne what's up with this car, OK?
10:38Just hop in.
10:44Right. Can I phone my partner?
10:46Yeah. I hope you will not be here for long.
10:50Hello. Now I've been pulled over by the police
10:53because of the reg and going through the tunnel.
10:57I'm sat in the back of the police car.
10:59Right. Love you. Bye.
11:01Right. So what's cracking?
11:04That plate.
11:06Erm...
11:08I don't really know what to say about it.
11:12Right.
11:14So can you explain how that reg plate doesn't exist,
11:17and it's picking up well over 600 fines with the Tyne Tunnel?
11:21I've got it registered on the Tyne Tunnel.
11:24That plate?
11:27No.
11:35That plate should be an 08.
11:37So you are aware it's got the wrong plate on then?
11:41It shouldn't have that plate on.
11:43No, you're right, it shouldn't.
11:50So why have you continued to drive with fraudulent plates on?
11:53I don't know. I just...
11:55I don't know. Stupidity, really.
12:05Yeah, he is.
12:07Behind you, that's the owner of the car.
12:09Hello, mate. How are you?
12:11Unfortunately, someone's going to be liable
12:13for over 600 fines with the Tyne Tunnel.
12:15What do you mean, 600 fines?
12:17Because that car is repeatedly going through the tunnel
12:19on a false reg plate.
12:21That's the one I've got. That's my reg, aye?
12:23What's the incorrect reg on that car?
12:25I'm not trying to be, like, funny or anything,
12:27but that plate that's on the car, right,
12:29doesn't exist.
12:31So you've clearly changed that?
12:35Well, I haven't. I haven't changed that reg.
12:37If I'm totally honest with you,
12:39I don't believe for one second that you didn't notice
12:41that was a Delta instead of an Oscar.
12:43You're going to think this is a load of s***, aren't you?
12:45I'm dyslexic, so there you go.
12:54OK, I'm going to be reporting you for driving a motor vehicle
12:56with fraudulent use of a registration plate
12:58and theft fraud in relation to the offences
13:00committed with the Tyne Tunnel.
13:02Whether or not they decide to pursue that will be up to them.
13:04If not, then it will be pursued as a police matter.
13:07So most likely there will be some form of summons
13:09coming through the post in relation to fraudulent reg plates
13:11at the least.
13:13Right, any questions before I let you out?
13:16No. Right, no problem.
13:19So, I'm going to follow you home in this car,
13:22then we're going to seize the plates
13:24and you're going to have to source the original,
13:26which I'm sure you've probably got in your house.
13:28I actually haven't.
13:49Pleased we got that car there, Clarky.
13:51I'll be able to sleep the night now.
13:53I'm happy with that.
13:55Staff at the Tyne Tunnel are absolutely ecstatic.
13:57It's a lot of money, isn't it?
13:59Yeah, I look forward to the court hearing.
14:01Great result.
14:19Before we go, I'm going to give the boots a once-over.
14:24I've left my kit at home,
14:26so one of the lads is lending us theirs.
14:29Natural beeswax, this one.
14:32I don't normally like using different polish.
14:36I've never been away from parade gloss all my life,
14:39so we'll give it a go.
14:41At Follingsby Nick, Martin's putting his best foot forward.
14:45I'm studying these for 12 hours a day,
14:47so they need to be comfortable and waterproof.
14:50I don't know if I like this, to be honest.
14:53Let's just put a greasy layer on them.
14:56It's done the job, but I'll not be using that again.
15:00I'm not big on change.
15:02I'll stick to what I know.
15:05It's been an exciting day in the Anderson household.
15:09I've had to clear out the garage.
15:12The proactive side got the better of the lazy side of us,
15:16and it's been a great day.
15:18I've had a great day.
15:20It's been a great day.
15:22It's been a great day.
15:24It's been a great day.
15:26It's been a great day.
15:28It's been a great day.
15:30It's been a great day.
15:32I've cleared out the lazy side of us,
15:34and I decided to do a tip run.
15:37I put us in my wife's good books because
15:40it's probably one of the most romantic things I do for her these days,
15:43is take stuff to the tip.
15:53The score at Octavia State
15:56shows a non-licensed holder
16:00currently wanted for immigration offenses.
16:09I'm going 461.
16:11461, go ahead.
16:13Yeah, I received them.
16:15Trying to find them.
16:17This car, we've got that activation
16:20literally about 100 metres down the road from where we were,
16:23so it would be rude to turn it down, wouldn't it?
16:30There it is.
16:38I'm going 461, LB.
16:40Go ahead.
16:42Behind them on the felon bypass, heading westbound.
17:00I'm just getting them stopped now.
17:12Can you jump out and I'll speak to you in my car
17:15and we'll do some checks, yeah?
17:19Have you got a licence?
17:21No.
17:22You haven't got a driving licence?
17:24Yes or no?
17:25Yeah, yeah.
17:26You have?
17:28Take a seat in there.
17:30What sort of a licence is this?
17:32It's an Albanian.
17:34Albanian?
17:35Yeah.
17:36What do you need?
17:42Right, I've stopped you because there's a suggestion
17:45that the person who's using this car
17:47doesn't have a driving licence.
17:49Yeah.
17:50You've obviously presented an Albanian one.
17:53Tango 461, LB.
17:55Go ahead.
17:57Can I pass you the details of the driver, please?
18:00Why are you stopping me, please?
18:02Can you tell me?
18:03I've just told you.
18:04Because there's a suggestion that the person using the car
18:07hasn't got a licence.
18:08Yeah, just for that.
18:10For...
18:11For that, yeah.
18:15Tango 461, are you secure?
18:17Go ahead.
18:20He's got...
18:21461, National Assembly of Immigration,
18:24released to win deportation GPS tag,
18:27call Home Office for instruction.
18:33Yeah, I'll give them a call.
18:35Was he shown on the insurance for the car?
18:38No.
18:39So just to confirm, not insured?
18:41Correct.
18:44So you've not got no insurance on the car?
18:47Yes, I have insurance.
18:48It's not my car, it's a friend's car.
18:50But you're not insured on it?
18:52No, I don't have...
18:54You haven't, yeah, you haven't got insurance.
18:58So the car's going to be impounded
19:01and you are being reported
19:04for the offence of driving a motor vehicle without insurance, OK?
19:10Right, the next thing is, I'm just going to check your immigration status
19:13that they are happy with everything, OK?
19:17Hello, can I help?
19:18Hiya, I'm calling from Northumbria Police.
19:20I've just got a roadside stop with an Albanian national.
19:24I think he's of interest to yourselves.
19:27Have you got any contact details at all or not?
19:30Yeah, two seconds, I'll ask him.
19:32What's your current address?
19:34Where do you live?
19:36In Milkspark.
19:37Ah, OK.
19:38In regards to his electronic tag,
19:40do you know where that's gone?
19:42Where it's gone?
19:43Electronic tag?
19:45I speak with doctor, you know?
19:49Right, so where is it?
19:53In Oxford.
19:56It's in Oxford?
19:58Yeah.
19:59Right, why?
20:00Because it's problem with...
20:02So who removed it?
20:07I speak with doctor...
20:09Yeah.
20:10..and I think because allergy, you know...
20:14Right.
20:17We're probably looking to take this person in.
20:19Yeah.
20:20Is there a specific offence?
20:23It's just liable to be defamed in the Immigration Act.
20:26So liable to be detained, OK.
20:29That's brilliant, thank you very much for your help.
20:32I'm going to pop round to Sands.
20:35Right, if you just give me your hands as well.
20:37OK.
20:38You're being arrested for an immigration offence.
20:41That's what they've just outlined to me.
20:43Where am I going?
20:44You're coming with us to custody, the police station.
20:47OK.
20:48Yeah, you've been arrested, so Immigration can speak to you.
20:51OK, OK.
20:52All right?
20:53OK.
21:04MUSIC
21:06MUSIC
21:32The most unique thing out of it all is that
21:35he's cut his monitoring tag off because he's allergic to it,
21:39which is a bit of a new one on me.
21:41I've not got no allergies,
21:43but what does make me a little bit itchy is my big, fat lie.
21:47Ten out of ten for trying, but it's certainly not going to wash with us,
21:51and he can answer them questions to Immigration
21:53when they come and speak to him,
21:55and he'll probably be getting another one slapped on his ankle,
21:58I would think.
21:59MUSIC
22:10Were you in Biker Grove?
22:11I was in Biker Grove.
22:13I was in Premier League football.
22:15Were you?
22:16The Biker Grove team had a five-a-side football tournament.
22:19It was just, like, an extra, so I had my little football strips on
22:22and I had to, like, stand outside the changing rooms
22:25and pretend that we're warming up as the Biker Grove team came out.
22:30Swapping showbiz for the streets of Newcastle are Mark and Andy.
22:35Were you in Biker Grove?
22:36I was in Biker Grove.
22:37What did you do in Biker Grove?
22:38Why were there, like, mackems in Biker Grove?
22:40It's funny you say that.
22:41I actually turned up my Sunderland top
22:43and they made us put a fleece over the top of it.
22:45Did they?
22:46Yeah.
22:47You turned up in your Sunderland top?
22:48I did.
22:49You're a brave lad.
22:50MUSIC
22:56BUZZER
23:17Yes, yes, we're coming through.
23:19MUSIC
23:25So there's a vehicle of interest that's linked a drug supply.
23:30Recent intelligence as well that it's carrying a wanted male.
23:33MUSIC
23:36What's going on? Did you just get past us and pop a cow here?
23:40Yes, yes.
23:42Are you coming to the lake now?
23:45Yes, yes, we're just approaching now.
23:48If you are, take your legs off.
23:51Yes, yes.
23:52MUSIC
23:56That's interesting from the red Vauxhall.
24:08If it is supplying drugs and carrying drugs,
24:10there's always a risk that it's going to fail to stop,
24:13so it'll be pre-emptive tactics to stop the car
24:16and secure the occupants as quickly and as safely as possible.
24:20Motorway cops know drivers dealing drugs
24:23will stop at nothing to avoid capture.
24:32South Wales, and a drug dealer is on the run from Gwent police.
24:37He tries to shake off the cops in a supermarket car park.
24:41When one officer tries to stop him, the suspect takes off.
24:45Smashing his way through two police cars.
24:48The pursuit hits the road again.
24:51But more patrols lie in wait and burst the car's tyres, ending the chase.
24:58A search of the vehicle revealed one kilo of cocaine
25:01and £100,000 in cash.
25:06The driver pleaded guilty to being involved in the supply of cocaine,
25:09dangerous driving and driving under the influence of drugs.
25:12He pleaded guilty to being involved in the supply of cocaine,
25:15dangerous driving, failing to stop, speeding,
25:18and possession of criminal property.
25:21He was jailed for ten years.
25:36Back in Newcastle, Andy and Mark and two other unmarked patrols
25:40are preparing to stop a car linked to drug dealing.
26:11Mamma Mia, here we go again.
26:19Knowing me, knowing you, on Britain's roads.
26:23Too many drivers willing to... take a chance.
26:28With dodgy manoeuvres, the name of the game.
26:31But when all is said and done...
26:36the winner takes it all.
27:01Come behind the black 764.
27:07If it is supplying drugs and carrying drugs,
27:09there's always a risk that it's going to fail to stop.
27:13In Newcastle, Mark and Andy and two other patrols
27:17are tracking a car potentially linked to drug dealing.
27:24Right, right, right, into one of the...
27:31..the cars.
27:39Get on the car! Get on the car!
27:43Stop the engine, I'll call.
27:46Put your hands across your chest.
27:48Keep your hands up where we can see them.
27:52Jump out.
27:54Right, at the minute he's detained for purposes of a drug search,
27:57all right?
28:02There's a note on me, me Adam Dean note.
28:04You've done Dean out? What's that then?
28:07It's a note, it's a bit of gram.
28:09Of? Dude.
28:11What's that mean? 14.
28:13There you go. You just said you don't do out, you've got some on you.
28:17Just come and have a seat in the back of my car for two minutes.
28:20Have a seat in there.
28:32What are you off to like?
28:34Just about going on a drink, mate.
28:36It's not good for your cocaine, you know.
28:38I'll eat it when I've had a drink.
28:42Have you been arrested before?
28:44How have I?
28:45For four drugs?
28:46No.
28:48I don't do note, man.
28:50Well...
28:53Well what?
28:55I don't do note, man.
28:57Well what?
28:59Well what?
29:02That would suggest otherwise, wouldn't it?
29:09You were searched and a bag of white powder was located in your jacket pocket.
29:12What is it?
29:14Cocaine.
29:17Where's it from?
29:18No comment.
29:20Are you aware it's illegal to possess and is a Class A drug?
29:22Yeah.
29:25OK, I'm going to report you for possession of a Class A drug.
29:28What they'll ask you to do is to go on some kind of like drug referral course.
29:31Yeah, yeah.
29:32If you go on that course, comply with it and complete it,
29:34that is the end of that matter.
29:36Yeah.
29:37Is that a done, yeah?
29:38Yeah.
29:39Just open or not?
29:40It'll be in a second.
29:43We've given the car a good search over.
29:46There's no drugs within the car.
29:54MUSIC
30:11Oi, just get this aircon on.
30:13Cheeky little job.
30:19I've got my eye on a target and I don't get it.
30:21It totally spoils me evenings.
30:23Especially if you then go into days off and you've got to wait four more days to go back and get them.
30:27I would, I'd think about it every day on my day off, thinking I hope somebody's got them.
30:32That's what our team does. Set our sights on something, we usually get it.
30:53I just like to have a bit of a wee dab of this before I go out.
31:00It acts as a barrier between you and the frightful things that you might encounter,
31:04you know we're talking smoke, fumes coming off, oil spills, fuel spills, that sort of thing.
31:09As long as I've got a nice bit of aftershave on and I can always just sort of like
31:13tuck my nose in like that and brace for impact.
31:16On the scent for dangerous drivers is PC Chris Kemp.
31:20Good car this one, can't complain.
31:23Inspired by the starry sleuths who've come before him.
31:32Growing up watching cop shows from the late 90s, early 2000s, absolutely mint.
31:38If I could compare myself to any cop that you might see, it'd probably be
31:42some Judge Dredd, some Robocop, some Columbo, because I love to drop in that just one more thing.
31:54It's a weekday so we've still got a bit of the rush hour traffic on, but the day's ours really.
32:01Probably driving around Newcastle, North Tyneside,
32:04Northumberland, maybe catch some baddies on the road.
32:13What's this guy up to?
32:15I've just got an HGV trying to overtake a caravan and he's really struggling.
32:19I think the HGV is probably right on the limit and the caravan's just not slowing down.
32:23So they've ended up getting stuck in an elephant race.
32:29An elephant race and a turnout, that's what it's all about.
32:33It's a race where you've got to be a little bit more careful.
32:35You've got to be a little bit more careful, you've got to be a little bit more careful.
32:37You've got to be a little bit more careful, you've got to be a little bit more careful.
32:40Elephant race and a term for HGVs on like multi-lane roads
32:44when they're struggling to overtake each other, you know that they're as slow as elephants.
32:49There's a massive queue of traffic that's had to slow right down so it causes congestion.
32:59You know what, I think we're going to end up having a word with this driver.
33:09Just pull over on the left and I'll get behind you.
33:34All right, sir.
33:36The only reason I was asking to pull you over was just you didn't give weight to the heavy.
33:40He was in lane two for about an hour trying to get past you.
33:44Well, not quite an hour.
33:45It's a figure of speech.
33:46But I'm thinking that you could maybe have lifted off and let him get past
33:49so that the traffic behind him wasn't held up.
33:56Well, yeah, but the tanker on the limit there and everyone else behind it is coming in at 70
33:59and they're having to slow down.
34:00It causes congestion a bit of a tailback.
34:02Everyone's got a part to play.
34:05And even if it's just lifting off for a couple of seconds to let him get past,
34:09I didn't want anyone crashing in the queue on the way back
34:11because then the whole A1 ends up closed.
34:13I don't think anyone likes being stuck in the elephant race.
34:16See you later.
34:25It's just a case of giving them a bit of friendly advice about driving at a reasonable speed.
34:30It's just courtesy for other road users rather than being like a rolling roadblock.
34:35But it can lead to crashes and problems further down the roads
34:38that the drivers who are engaged in these elephant races don't even know about.
34:58How's your seatbelt, mister?
35:00Yeah, it's fine.
35:01It's fine.
35:01It's fine.
35:02It's fine.
35:02Get yourself pulled over on the left-hand side after these lights and I'll speak to you soon.
35:11Every cop's got to be right on top of that.
35:13It's so important to wear your seatbelt.
35:15The consequences of being in a crash when you're not wearing it,
35:17it can be the difference between life or death.
35:19We'll have a word, find out what's going on.
35:21You alright, fella?
35:22I just stopped you there because I'd seen you at the...
35:24Yeah, man.
35:25...at the junction at the top without your seatbelt on.
35:28Do you always have it plugged in behind you like that?
35:31To be honest, I'm a courier, man.
35:32So...
35:32Right.
35:33I'm actually a bit of a person, so it's just a case of I'm in and out.
35:36So, I apologise about that.
35:39I was hoping to smash these out, to be honest, and have an early day.
35:42I'm actually a bit of a person, so it's just a case of I'm in and out, so I apologise about that.
35:47I was hoping to smash these out, to be honest, and have an early day.
35:51And you still can, but it's like...
35:52I understand the seatbelt, I get that.
35:54It's like two seconds at the start and the end, isn't it?
35:56It's true, man. It's true. Very true.
35:58I'll wear my seatbelt, I promise. Please don't give me any points or anything. Please, man.
36:03I'm sort of expected to take action in circumstances like this,
36:06and I think there's an expectation by the public that there would be action taken.
36:10You know, you're a professional driver, and you're supposed to be, like,
36:13probably better than most drivers.
36:14I appreciate it's convenient for you to not have your seatbelt on,
36:17but if you're involved in a crash, you're obviously going to get hurt.
36:20I won't write you a ticket out of the roadside,
36:21but I'll get a ticket sent to your home address.
36:23You can go to court and argue it if you want,
36:25but if you do end up going to court, you could possibly be liable to an increased fine.
36:30I'll be honest with you. I've got four kids. I'm in the wrong.
36:34I wouldn't expect my children to not have seatbelts.
36:36Exactly. Exactly.
36:38I'm trying to be fair.
36:40I appreciate you've got a job to do.
36:43Diven, tell us, you didn't leave it running when you were out of it, did you?
36:45No.
36:46You weren't going to nod there, were you?
36:48Because they get nicked all the time from drivers doing that.
36:51That's your livelihood, and all your parcels gone, and it happens all the time.
36:54So remember, every time you stop, keys out, belt off when you get in.
36:57Keys in and belt on. Just keep it safe, man, all right?
37:00I'll catch up with you in a bit, OK?
37:10It might seem a bit of a faff when you're getting in and out of the car all the time,
37:14to stop and deliver parcels, but it's the sort of thing that someone
37:17could suffer potentially fatal or life-changing injuries for a crash
37:20that you would otherwise maybe have a bit of a sore neck if you had a seatbelt on.
37:28Right, OK, head back to the station, pick the flies off the grill,
37:31get it washed, get it fuelled.
37:33It's been a bit of a heavy weekend. I've been at a rock concert.
37:36There's a small band called Limb Biscuit, I don't know if you've ever heard them.
37:39I've heard of them, I have heard of them. Small outfit, I've been washing this.
37:42You'll be as deaf as a post now, will you?
37:45What?
37:48Ready to rock the night shift.
37:50We're just going to be laughing out loud, and it's going to be one of the latest
37:53and biggest music shows that the industry has been in.
37:56It's going to be a blast, brilliant.
37:57You'll be just like me.
37:58It's going to be a blast.
38:00Ready to rock the night shift, here's PC Jamie Leslie.
38:07Imagine Jamie's Festival.
38:09Jamie Fest, I'd probably start with maybe a bit of ACDC,
38:14and then I really like cheesy 90s,
38:17so I'd probably have something like Atomic Kitten.
38:20So a bit of Eternal Flame, and then finish with something like
38:23a bit of Rage Against The Machine,
38:25just because you need to, like, mosh it out.
38:30MUSIC
38:41I think we'll just have a quick look at this.
38:44It just came out of a residential street.
38:47It's quite late at night,
38:49blacked-out windows and stuff like that.
39:00Tango 10-50 up.
39:04Can I get a vehicle check, please?
39:06It's a grey Tiguan.
39:14Yes, yes, that's all received.
39:16It's strange, it's coming back as being insured,
39:20but it's nowhere near where it's registered or insured.
39:23Around this area, there's been quite a few cars stolen,
39:27so I think it's going to be worthwhile giving it a stop
39:31and just seeing what it's actually up to.
39:48When the gloves are off,
39:50Britain's roads can be a real boxing match.
39:54With amateurs in the ring...
39:59..punching above their weight.
40:01What the f**k are you doing?!
40:07Come on, let's make it.
40:13Ding, ding, get ready for round two.
40:17I think we'll just have a quick look at this.
40:20It's blacked-out windows and stuff like that.
40:25It's coming back as being insured,
40:28but it's nowhere near where it's registered or insured.
40:34It's coming back as being insured,
40:37but it's nowhere near where it's registered or insured.
40:40It's coming back as being insured,
40:43but it's nowhere near where it's registered or insured.
40:47It's 3am in North Shields
40:49and a silver Volkswagen has caught Jamie's attention.
40:54Around this area, there's been quite a few cars stolen,
40:57so I think it's going to be worthwhile giving it a stop
41:00and just seeing what it's actually up to.
41:14Just here, quick. I know you've got your licence on you.
41:17I haven't got it on me, mate, I'm sorry.
41:20Ari, what are you doing?
41:22We've gone to get some food, mate.
41:25Just knock the engine off for us.
41:31It's not my car, it's my mate's car, mate.
41:33Are you insured on it? No, I'm not.
41:35Oh, man. I know.
41:37It's not my car, it's my mate's car, mate.
41:40Are you insured on it? No, I'm not.
41:43That's why I pulled over there, I can't lie to you.
41:46I'll have to seize it.
41:48Do you want to sit in the back of my car, we'll get this sorted.
41:51Have you got a licence? I haven't, no.
41:53You haven't got a licence? No.
41:58Oh, mate. I'll pull that forward.
42:02He's got long legs. I have, mate.
42:07Right. I knew you was going to pull me, I knew you would.
42:10Well, when I first seen you, it's when you came out that little side street.
42:14Yeah, that's the street I thought I had to take.
42:16Ah, right. And then I've seen you behind me...
42:18That D2 has cut me. It did, I know.
42:21Give us two, sir, I'll just have to run you through.
42:24Tango 10-58.
42:2610-58, go ahead.
42:28OK, I've just got to check on the driver of this Tiguan.
42:31It's currently out of service.
42:33There's no trace of him in it.
42:36Yes, no, he's been fully up front.
42:38He hasn't got a licence and he's not insured on the car.
42:42Right. I'm going to report you for the offence of driving
42:46without valid certificate insurance,
42:48driving otherwise in accordance with a licence, OK?
42:50No problem, mate.
42:56Do you know what it is? That's the first time I've drove it.
42:59What do you think of them?
43:01Just driving to the pizza shop and back, I fell in love with it, mate.
43:04Yeah.
43:05It's beautiful.
43:06Aye, I like VWs, they're lovely.
43:08Right.
43:09So what I'll do is I'll give you until the 29th of June
43:12to get the car back.
43:13Because obviously after that they'll crush it,
43:15but just do something before.
43:17I know you will. It's your baby.
43:19Don't worry, I'm not going to call you a vanguard, trust me.
43:22It's one of them, innit?
43:23It is, and, er...
43:25Gratitude, mate. All I wanted was a pizza.
43:28The most expensive pizza ever.
43:30Right to bounce?
43:31Right, of course, mate. Aye.
43:33Jeez!
43:43He was a good crack, he was honest straight away.
43:47Just the one key thing that he should have is his licence.
43:52And he hasn't got it.
43:54He's going to have to foot the bill for getting his car back.
43:58He's going to face a hefty disqualification period.
44:03And probably a hefty telling off by his missus for letting the pizza get cold.
44:08If you have any dashcam clips
44:10you think could feature in the next series of Motorway Cops
