CreativityTranscript
00:00We had a someone drives past now and we'd just see a random traffic police stand and
00:09I'd say a scary church, a little bit more like rave-y.
00:132am in rural Northumberland and PC Jamie Leslie is killing time, waiting for a stolen car
00:23to be towed away.
00:26There's the cavalry here, good god, now I'd be really angry, seizing a stolen car outside
00:36my house when the car alarm goes off in the early hours of the morning and it wakes us
00:43up.
00:44Public service announcement, it's stolen and we've got to get it back to them and this
00:48is the only way we can do it.
00:51It's going to do it again.
00:54Awkward.
00:57Madness, isn't it?
01:02Bad drivers, beware.
01:04If the cops don't catch you, dashcam will.
01:09With 25,000 traffic convictions a year, down to your cameras, Britain's deadliest drivers
01:17have nowhere left to hide and on the front line are our motorway cops.
01:31We join Northumbria police as they chase down dangerous drivers and get the worst offenders
01:44off our roads.
01:58Helping them in their battle with idiots behind the wheel is dashcam, it's vital evidence
02:08and proof that Britain's dumbest drivers are a law unto themselves.
02:16Police one, criminal nil.
02:26Tonight I'm going to have to try and make contact with them here.
02:31A high speed chase leaves a suspect floored.
02:35Get out of the car now, get out of there, now, on the ground, on the ground.
02:40The car's got an old front wrench plate displayed.
02:42I'm waiting to go and do it, I'm just waiting to get paid.
02:45Costs about 20 pence to get you some felt rod.
02:47It's bad timing for a cash strapped driver.
02:50So you're saying you're a skin boy, you've got a Rolex?
02:53I'm here.
02:54Oh.
02:55Changed some parts round about, there's been a big crash, it's bad.
03:02Oh, I wasn't driving ridiculous, I don't know how I came out.
03:08And the camera never lies at a serious collision.
03:23There are almost 3,800 officers serving in Northumbria Police, but only the select few.
03:31Let's see what the day brings.
03:33Have the honour of wearing the white cap of the motorway cops.
03:37Don't want to mess her hair up too much, but I don't think it looks too bad, to be fair.
03:45Professional. Yeah, we'll go for professional.
03:51PC Tommy Wade is already warmed up for his 12 hour stretch behind the wheel.
03:57Today, I've been to baby yoga.
04:00My problem is, after about 30 years of football, the knees are short.
04:05I have to rely on my wife doing the harder stuff.
04:08I just do the little rocking part.
04:16A lot easier on the knees, I can tell you this, than baby yoga.
04:20I think we're set up and good to go. Let's do it.
04:28If I could do permanent night shifts, that's what I would be doing.
04:33Having a baby at home is sort of, I'm already in the night shift mode.
04:38Sleep isn't the easiest thing to come by.
04:41But last night, she managed a good, I would say, nine hours, which is tremendous.
04:48Well, so you would think, anyway.
04:50Tonight, we're going to have a little cruise around Sunderland town centre, I think.
04:54Good chance we're going to come across something.
04:56Yeah, I've got a good feeling about tonight.
05:20The car's swung round a junction.
05:37It drove totally erratically, and you think, well, why are you doing that?
05:43Oh, he's gone. He's gone.
05:46978 Urgent. Vehicle free on the stop.
05:55Taxi, train, solo vehicle, Crested Authority, follow pursuit.
05:58Pursuit is off the right.
06:00It's on a micro, arguments unknown, destination unknown.
06:0510-1-7, just keep your face covered and also risk assessment, please.
06:09Pitcairn Road, Pitcairn Road, low risk speed, 5-0.
06:14It's possibly clear and clear, then that vehicle's back there, the different vehicle.
06:19We're left, left, left, towards Hilton Road.
06:25High risk into oncoming lane, back to near side lane, still eastbound, speed 6-0.
06:314-6-1, travelling.
06:33I've got a good warning from Neeman Marine.
06:37Copy, two tactical cars are on us.
06:40So, right, right, right, onto Edrick Road, speed 7-0.
06:46LB has gone, lights out, we are in a well-lit area, medium risk, speed 5-0.
06:52Are we trying to push them towards the 183, am I right?
06:54Yes, yes, we're towards the 183, and we'll try and keep them on.
06:58Copy, I'm going to try and get us to the edge of one of the trucks on the road, 5-7-3.
07:03Left, left, left, and right, right, right.
07:10Where's the next nearest car, please?
07:13That's me, behind you now.
07:15Yes, yes.
07:19LB, driving's kind of dangerous.
07:26He's trying to do it to our ram him, LB.
07:29I'm going to have to try and make contact with him, yeah.
07:40Space travel has nothing on Britain's drivers.
07:45Strange creatures, zooming around in metal boxes.
07:49Showing few signs of intelligent life.
07:53And oblivious to the little green men.
07:58It's enough to make you cry.
08:00Beam me up, Scotty!
08:03It's enough to make you cry.
08:05Beam me up, Scotty!
08:129-7-8, urgent, vehicle failing to stop.
08:19LB, driving's kind of dangerous.
08:21In Sunderland, Tommy is leading two more patrols in pursuit of a driver who has made off in a Micra.
08:28I'm going to have to try and make contact with him, yeah.
08:32I'm going to have to try and make contact with him, yeah.
08:41Coming to premiere.
08:47LB's going off-road, off-road.
08:50I'll go round the other side, you two pursue him.
09:02LB, it is high risk. We've just passed a pedestrian on a footpath heading towards Plains Farm.
09:10It's a bit narrow to make contact and I'm conscious there could be people out walking.
09:14He's chucking stuff out of the car at the minute.
09:25Contact.
09:29Stop! Get out of the car now!
09:31Get out of there! Now! On the ground! On the ground!
09:34Get on the ground now!
09:36Hand behind your back!
09:39LB, vehicle stopped, one retained.
09:41Stand up!
09:42Stand up! Get up!
09:45LB, notice the driver, we've got him.
09:54You're locked up, mate, for dangerous driving.
09:57You're just taking chase, bro, like that?
09:59He's sitting there.
10:00Do you realise you could have killed someone there, you know?
10:02Throwing the car on the road.
10:12Can I get a check on his driver, please?
10:15He's shown his expired provisional licence holder.
10:19Ask him where his aggravated vehicle's taken him.
10:21Ask him where his aggravated vehicle's taken him.
10:30He had a drink.
10:33I'm going to ask you to blow through that until I tell you to stop, all right?
10:36Keep going, keep going, keep going.
10:38Stop.
10:4276.
10:44He's blew well over the limit.
10:46He got out on you, shouldn't have.
10:48Drugs.
10:50I don't smoke.
10:52Hey, what was that, cannabis?
10:53No.
10:55Yeah, drugs, mate.
10:57I'm going to ask you for a sample of this, OK?
10:59All we're testing for here is cannabis and cocaine, all right?
11:03Just move your tongue around the inside of your mouth for us.
11:06Wait, and then stick out.
11:10Wait, give us two minutes, mate, where we'll get this sorted,
11:12and then we'll get you over here.
11:13Give us two minutes, mate, where we'll get this sorted,
11:15and then we'll get you over here.
11:24Positive.
11:26Check him in.
11:37He's the prime example of a dangerous driver.
11:39To take him off the road has potentially saved
11:41an untold amount of injury to people and collisions,
11:44and that's why I would do it.
11:45I'd say it's one off the street.
11:47I'm over the moon with that.
12:10I assume you've been to Southwick before, right?
12:13Aye.
12:40MUSIC
12:59Right, let's see what the damage is.
13:02Well, in the greater scheme of things,
13:04I'd break the dent here.
13:07Yeah.
13:08Well, number plates can be replaced.
13:24Morning, Sergeant. How are you?
13:26Morning. I'm good. How are you?
13:28I'm good, aye.
13:29Ready for another exciting day?
13:31I am. Where are we going to go?
13:33Got you. Keep us company.
13:34I'm going to look after you.
13:35Give you a cuddle if you need it.
13:37But if you step out of line, you'll be put on the naughty step.
13:40PC Mark Crammond and Acting Sergeant Andy Clark
13:44have only just started their shift,
13:46but they're already having a stand-off.
13:49Fastest to the keys drives.
13:54Keys are in the middle.
13:55Fastest hands we're in on the count of three.
13:57One, two, three.
13:59Close.
14:01I'm driving.
14:02I can't believe I've lost.
14:03I'll let you drive tomorrow.
14:05What for tomorrow?
14:06Exactly.
14:07Right, Mark, shall we get out?
14:09Ready to hit the road?
14:10Yeah.
14:11Come on.
14:12Can't be a hero behind a desk, can you?
14:14Nope.
14:20I could be doing today instead of being at work.
14:23Yeah?
14:24Could be at home some day, then.
14:28It is warm in here.
14:36Day 2
14:44You're looking good in your shades today.
14:46It's the right weather for it.
14:47Well, I need them to see because of prescription.
14:49You sure you can still say out them, though?
14:51Who said that?
14:54I don't feel safe in the passenger seat anymore now.
15:06Day 3
15:11The car looked a little bit hesitant as well.
15:13It didn't know where it was going.
15:18Tunes not held.
15:19Nissan Juke in front.
15:22Just going to give him a stop.
15:24Quick chat with him.
15:30There's kids in the corner.
15:36Hello, are you all right? How are yous doing?
15:38The reason I've stopped you is because I've just done a check on the car
15:41and it's shown as not having any insurance.
15:43Right.
15:44Do you have any insurance?
15:46Yeah.
15:47We don't feel comfortable with it.
15:49Well, what I'm really uncomfortable with is the middle child
15:53not being in a proper seat.
15:55Just took her seatbelt off.
15:57Not in a proper seat.
15:58And you not having any insurance.
16:00So that's the main worry at this moment in time.
16:03How long you own the car for?
16:06Are you able to get proof of your insurance for us, please?
16:09Do you want to just hop out and jump in the back of our car
16:11and we'll do some checks in there?
16:13You don't want to do that?
16:14Do you have insurance or not?
16:16Right, do you want to get that?
16:18Then you can get in your car and drive off.
16:20Stop being rude and silly.
16:24She's just bought the car.
16:26Says it has been recently insured.
16:28So she's obviously got a few checks to do.
16:31Because it's shown as no keeper and in trade at the moment.
16:34She's not happy.
16:36What if I'm ringing my boyfriend again?
16:38You can ring him, but you need to get the insurance for your car.
16:41You're going to have to come and get the kids.
16:43I'm stuck on Shields Road.
16:45At the minute, she can't produce any policy of insurance.
16:48So she's trying to get her other half to find it for her.
16:52The more people argue, the longer it takes to deal with them.
16:55Relax, that was an insurance.
16:57The 24th of June in my name.
17:00Hi, relax.
17:02It's the 7th of July, no permanent policy of insurance.
17:19She's got a massive history of no insurance.
17:21That's it?
17:22Yeah, there's about four or five in the last two or three years with no insurance.
17:25So I'm just going to check her driving licence.
17:27She's shown as having an expired driving licence.
17:30So she's had her licence...
17:33Well, not the two years.
17:41You must have had your driving licence less than two years.
17:45You might have been banned and had to re-sit your test.
17:48There's no insurance on the car that week.
17:50So you haven't been able to prove any in the time I've been here.
17:52And your driving licence is shown as expired substantive.
17:55So you don't even have a driving licence either, regardless of insurance.
18:03Well, they're probably not as diligent as me.
18:05I'm going to report you for the offence of driving with no insurance.
18:11I'm going to report you for the offence of driving with no licence and no insurance.
18:15In short, you'll not be driving the vehicle anywhere.
18:18Right.
18:19OK?
18:20So it looks like lift.
18:22Excuse me?
18:26Can you lift me?
18:27Off me?
18:30I've got no baby's palms, so nothing can even pop off.
18:33Can you just leave me one strand and my two kids?
18:35Well, that's a choice you took when you started driving today.
18:41MUSIC PLAYS
18:55She's away.
19:03Attitude stinks, really, to be fair.
19:05She was using all the distraction techniques and deal with this and deal with that.
19:09She was doing everything except showing us her insurance.
19:12And it was everybody else's fault except our own.
19:15We don't want to leave anybody stranded.
19:17However, she has to accept a little bit of parental responsibility
19:20and look after our children and organise our own lift home.
19:23So hopefully that little experience,
19:25the next time that she decides to drive without the right documents,
19:28it might remind her. It's a little bit difficult.
19:40MUSIC CONTINUES
19:45Morning.
19:46Mornings. How are you?
19:48What are you having? A latte?
19:50A big latte, please. A big latte.
19:52A big latte. I will help out.
19:55And I've got a magic stirrer for her.
19:57Because we're on motor patrols, I think it's important that we use a tool for the stirrer.
20:01And plus, because there's probably no spoons down there either.
20:04I'm just concerned about the absolute state of your mug.
20:08My face or the cup.
20:10Oh, wow. That is disgusting.
20:13That is grim.
20:15It is rather manky. I do apologise.
20:17You've even got to hold the handle, really.
20:20PC's Moira Cullen and Jamie Leslie
20:23don't even have to leave the station to get their first lock-up.
20:27You're going to have to steal some milk.
20:29I don't think I've ever seen padlocked milk.
20:31I'll go for... I'll try the classic 999.
20:34Honestly, I feel like a proper code-breaker.
20:36Despite us not actually breaking any codes,
20:38the code of ethics.
20:40Honestly, integrity.
20:43Nah, I give up.
20:53Ready for another day?
20:55See what today brings.
20:57Hopefully nothing but peace and tranquillity.
20:59I very much doubt that.
21:07Got the dream team back together, eh?
21:11I mean, don't sound too enthusiastic about it.
21:16Teamed up with Jamie Leslie.
21:18How optimistic are you feeling about this day?
21:20Good vibes?
21:22Always good vibes with you.
21:37WHIRRING
21:42It just went through a very, very obvious red light.
21:49Pull in there.
22:01Don't like what you see in the mirror?
22:03Then it's time to give your driving a makeover.
22:07Try a close shave.
22:11Or a fresh set of bangs.
22:14Highlight those curves.
22:17And say goodbye to unwanted lines forever.
22:28It just went through a very, very obvious red light.
22:33In Newcastle, a van driver has jumped a red light,
22:36right in front of Jamie and Moira.
22:40Pull in there.
22:42WHIRRING
23:01Hello, sir. Are you all right? Are you all right?
23:03Just knocking the engine off.
23:05Just have a seat in the back of my car for two minutes, sir.
23:07That's all right.
23:12Have you got your driver's licence with you?
23:14It's in my house, sir. I live here.
23:16Oh, dear. Right, champion.
23:26Right, do you know why we stopped you?
23:28Well, when I went back to red, I couldn't see because of that lorry in front of us,
23:33if I'm going to be honest.
23:35It was a bit too late for us.
23:37Well, it was red. It was definitely red because you slowed
23:40and then thought about it and then went through it.
23:43Well, OK.
23:47These lights, they've just been installed as well, so that...
23:51They go off and on quick, please mind.
23:53Right, very quick.
23:58Can I just run the driver through?
24:00This all reports present.
24:02He was caught in 2006 when he had a toy BB gun.
24:05I can actually remember that as well now.
24:07That must have been about, like, 14 or something.
24:09I don't know. You're being young, isn't it?
24:11Is that, like, your spud gun? Possibly, yeah. Possibly.
24:20You're in charge of that ticket and all that, aren't you?
24:23Yes. The company's fine, so...
24:26Have you just finished your work?
24:28Just finished, yeah. I was just driving back to my estate.
24:30What time do you start work?
24:32I started at, like, 8 today and just finished at half-time, so...
24:35Is that you for the end of the day? Yeah. Oh, that's not bad.
24:38No, I've got a pretty cushy job, to be fair.
24:40I'm a gas engineer by trade.
24:42Bit like me, I'm one job a knock and that's me done for the day.
24:45So I'm your job. I wish... I wish this was it.
24:49Do you know what I'm going to do? Because of the time of day, all right,
24:52I'm not going to give you a ticket.
24:54However, what I am going to do, all right,
24:56is I'm going to refer you for a driver alertness course.
24:59The thing is, I'm sat behind you,
25:02Mark traffic vehicle, plenty of Battenberg on the side of this to be seen.
25:05You should have been aware that there's a police behind you.
25:08And the red light, OK.
25:10So I'm going to report you for the offensive careless driving, all right.
25:13I'm not going to give you points. OK.
25:15Is this going to be the best address to send that paperwork to?
25:18Yes. These new estates are hard to get a hold of.
25:21My post goes to theirs and theirs comes to mine.
25:24Oh, does it? Yeah, tonight, method delivery.
25:26What a chew on. And your takeaways?
25:28Well, I don't really eat much takeaways.
25:31Or drink either. I keep myself active.
25:33God, you're like the total opposite of me.
25:35That's all I do is drink and eat takeaways.
25:37I know, right. Thanks very much.
25:39Hopefully we don't catch up again.
25:41Maybe he's not. See you later. Take care.
25:54How do people get these jobs?
25:56I finished work at half 11 in the morning.
25:58What are we doing here?
26:00Still a three and a half hour day.
26:10What do you think? Do you reckon his view was obscured by the lorry?
26:14Or do you think he's just been in a rush to get home because he's had a flyer at work?
26:19Yeah, quite possibly.
26:21Yeah, I think he thought, I can't wait to get on that sofa and watch the TV.
26:26Put my feet up?
26:28Put my feet up. Tell the missus I've had to be at work until six o'clock.
26:34Lucky him. Still got another ten hours with you.
26:38And your Fanta.
26:42This is going to be the longest day of your life.
26:57What do you call the TV remote control?
27:01TV remote. I hear people call it a clicker.
27:04We call it a remote all the time.
27:06Pass a remote. Remote, remote, remote.
27:09Another day, somebody in the house says, can you pass us the clicky buttons?
27:13And I was like, the what?
27:15Andy and Mark like to choose their words wisely,
27:18as anything they do say may be given in evidence.
27:22I'm posh, I call a living room a lounge.
27:25We've got a utility room that she decided that she was going to try and call a pantry.
27:29Oh, we've got a tiny little teeny weeny understairs cupboard in the kitchen
27:33which she calls a pantry because it's got some shells in it.
27:36It's in the pantry. You mean the tiny little cupboard.
27:41Do you see that? No.
27:44It looks as if the car that they're getting into has got an old front reg plate displayed.
27:49So when that moves off, we'll get that reg number and give that one a stop and have a little chat.
27:54It's in the window. It's still not displayed correctly, is it?
27:58Negative.
28:00Negative.
28:02Negative.
28:04Negative.
28:06Negative.
28:08Negative.
28:10£100 fine, isn't it?
28:12Aye. Oh, it's coming straight over.
28:29Yeah, it doesn't look like anyone's got their belts on. Can't see the driver, so...
28:33He's definitely not got his on. What a sausage.
28:37Drivers without seatbelts raise motorway cops' suspicions.
28:41Criminals looking for a quick getaway rarely strap in for the ride.
28:50Mark and Andy's fellow motorway cops are behind a Nissan driver in Gateshead
28:56who they've spotted isn't wearing a seatbelt.
28:59Despite several attempts to get him to stop, the driver seems oblivious.
29:05At a red light, the cops grab their chance for a chat.
29:09But the driver has other ideas and makes off down the A1.
29:16Continue north on the A1. We're in and out of traffic.
29:19The speed is 80.
29:21With the police on his tail, it looks like the suspect has something to hide.
29:25There's just something out the window.
29:28More patrols join the chase
29:32and battle to keep pace with the driver as he weaves in and out of traffic.
29:40He hits the gas. Speed 90.
29:44And shoots down a slip road.
29:47The desperate perp jumps a red and tears across a roundabout.
29:54But his luck runs out as he finds himself outnumbered and surrounded.
30:02Bring it down, bring it down.
30:09The driver was found guilty of dangerous driving and assaulting an emergency worker.
30:14He was sentenced to 11 months in jail, suspended for one year
30:18and disqualified from driving for 12 months.
30:22The ditched packages were never recovered.
30:27The car's got no front reg plate displayed.
30:30It doesn't look like anyone's got their belts on.
30:33In Blythe, Andy and Mark are behind a driver missing a seatbelt and his reg plate.
30:41Well, stop them. Have a quick chat.
30:49I don't think the rear seat passenger's got his seatbelt on either.
30:52Hello, you all right? A couple of reasons you've been stopped.
30:56Seatbelts, for one. Right? No-one's wearing any.
31:00I know, sorry. We've literally just pulled away.
31:02Do you know how much it is for a seatbelt fine now?
31:04How much?
31:05200 quid. Do you know what'll happen if you have a crash?
31:08You'll go through the windscreen, you'll have to pay a fine of £1,000.
31:12And you'll have to pay a fine of £1,000.
31:14And you'll have to pay a fine of £1,000.
31:16And you'll have to pay a fine of £1,000.
31:18Do you know what'll happen if you have a crash?
31:20You'll go through the windscreen, your head'll crush her head,
31:23she'll die and he'll have a headache.
31:25Yeah.
31:26But you'll be dead, so you won't have to worry about the headache.
31:29Yeah.
31:30But then we'll have to go and deliver the news to your families.
31:34Yeah, young'un? Jump out.
31:39What happened to this? Did this come off in a crash, did it?
31:41That's the other reason we wanted to speak to you.
31:43Yeah, yeah, I'm waiting to go and do it. I'm just waiting to get paid.
31:47Cost about 20p to get you some Velcro, double-sided Velcro.
31:50Yeah, yeah, I'll get that. I'm going to get it sorted.
32:06You sticking it on for us?
32:07Yeah.
32:08Legend.
32:09Am I sticking it on for you?
32:10Giving us the stuff to do, yeah?
32:11Aye.
32:13So you're saying you're a skin boy, you've got a Rolex?
32:16Oh.
32:17Well, instead of wasting your money on counterfeit goods.
32:20Rolex, how did it go?
32:21I know.
32:22You look like you've just rolled around in a shop in Turkey.
32:25I was in Thailand, you know.
32:27All right, well.
32:28That's why I'm skinned.
32:29Well, focus on getting the basics right, rather than the luxuries of life.
32:33Aye, so you potentially could have had £100 for that, £200 for your belt,
32:37£200 for your belt, £200 for your belt.
32:39Would that be all right to stick up there?
32:41Nah, it's got to be visible.
32:44Would that not be visible there?
32:45Not really.
32:46No, that's pointing to the sky.
32:47Unless you're a bird.
32:50I don't know if that's going to stay on, like.
32:52Big push on it.
32:56There you go.
32:57Looks more like your part of me now.
33:01So today, an old joke and aside, this is your educational conversation
33:06to wear your seatbelts, because obviously your record will now be majors
33:09have all been stopped in sport now.
33:11So that'll be your last ever warning, OK?
33:13Sorry, what was that?
33:27Watch him drive off and a plate just drops on the floor.
33:30Wack, wack.
33:39Sometimes it's nice just to help somebody out and be a little bit mature,
33:44because he's seen his skin and he couldn't afford to do it,
33:47whilst he's driving around in a car, which is a luxury item.
33:51And yet he can't be bothered or afford to stick a number plate
33:56at the front of his car.
33:57It's pretty frustrating.
33:58One of my pet haters, people who don't have a front number plate.
34:03I hate it.
34:04Is that why you carry stickers in your bag?
34:06Aye, it's a little bit like Mary Poppins' bag,
34:08it's just got a bit of everything in it.
34:10Hopefully he's got an air fryer to cook my Sunday dinner in.
34:27Do you name any of the traffic cars?
34:29We don't.
34:30I think some people do.
34:32I mean, I probably should, really.
34:34What would you think for this one, then?
34:36So, if you've got any ideas?
34:38So, a Volvo.
34:40Would you go down the route?
34:41Would it have to be a girl's name?
34:43I think I'd probably go with Valerie.
34:46Valerie?
34:47Valerie.
34:48That screen seems quite sophisticated.
34:50A bit of a beige kind of name.
34:52No, that's going to insult everyone.
34:54Who's called Valerie, isn't it?
34:55Scratch that.
34:58Forget Sting, Somers and Copeland.
35:01Today's famous police trio are Jamie, Moir and...
35:06Arnie.
35:07Something which really says, like, this is a mean machine.
35:11Arnie.
35:12Decent, that, isn't it?
35:13That's it, that's a strong name, that.
35:15Shredded?
35:16Yeah.
35:17Good presence, isn't it?
35:19Let's get to Scotswood.
35:28PHONE RINGS
35:31Police emergency.
35:33Kingston Park, roundabout, this is a big crash.
35:36I've just seen it come flying off the motorway
35:38and then I hear it's, like, bang, crash,
35:40and the lamppost is shaking.
35:41You're going to have to send cameras and see straight away.
35:44It's bad.
35:46Yeah, I'm on this one.
35:53Kingston Park, roundabout,
35:55Park, roundabout, that's a two-vehicle RTC.
35:57There's a male in a white Toyota who's potentially injured.
36:03The BMW's hit the white Toyota.
36:07His door's caved in.
36:10My main concern is to ensure the safety of everyone.
36:14The ambulance has requested a fire brigade back up front
36:17and the Toyota, the driver's seat.
36:21There's a report that there's one male trapped in this car here,
36:25so don't know what his injuries are just yet,
36:28but I know there's paramedics travelling.
36:32It's important to gather as much evidence
36:35to quickly try and establish what's actually happened,
36:39because with worst-case scenario, sort of a fatality.
36:52Self-driving cars are the future,
36:56but dashboard computers will still need plenty of RAM,
37:02so they don't freeze at the wrong moment.
37:07Wrestle with auto-correcting,
37:10and you'll get the hang of it.
37:14So they don't freeze at the wrong moment.
37:19Wrestle with auto-correct.
37:23Or hit backspace under pressure.
37:26One thing's for sure, human or robot,
37:29you're never far from a reboot.
37:33Take some programs about the stupid crash.
37:36It's bad.
37:38There's a report that there's one male trapped in this car here,
37:42so don't know what his injuries are just yet.
37:46In Newcastle, Jamie and Moira are at a serious two-car collision.
38:03What's injury-wise, what we got there?
38:06I don't know, they're just getting assessed.
38:09The paramedics are here, the fire brigade are here.
38:12Just keep looking forward, we've got everybody here that needs to help you.
38:16When we turned up on set, the BMW driver was driving erratically,
38:20and then he's gone into the side of the...
38:22Where's this one been coming from?
38:24He's been coming round...
38:26And that's gone out and nudged him back in?
38:29Right, so the whole driver's door's in.
38:37He's saying shoulder pain, saying he feels like he's popped out a bit,
38:41and then all down his leg.
38:48So we've got an RTC where this BMW's obviously ended off a grass verge,
38:53and another member of the public's been thrown in the mix
38:56where he's been struck a lamppost.
38:58They're trapping the car at the moment.
39:03With the fire service working to release the trapped victim of the crash...
39:07You all right, mate?
39:09Jamie wants to talk to the driver of the BMW that's smashed into him.
39:13What's happened?
39:14Back end's come out on that roundabout,
39:16and when I've went to correct it, it's slapped us,
39:19and when I've come onto the grass, I've slammed the brakes on,
39:22and it's just slid from the grass over there.
39:25How's the back end came out?
39:27Oh, I wasn't driving. Ridiculous.
39:30I don't know how it came out. Asked the wife.
39:32She was in the parking seat.
39:35Well, you were driving, so how's the back end came out?
39:37I don't know.
39:41Nice.
39:42Have a seat in the back of my car.
39:47Are you all right with him?
39:48For two seconds, I'll get used to him.
39:50If you just run him through, and then...
39:56The BMW driver said that he's just come round the roundabout quite normally,
40:00and the back end's got away from him.
40:02In my experience, that didn't just happen.
40:10You all right? Are you his partner, are you?
40:12Yeah, yeah.
40:13In the red car?
40:14Yeah.
40:15All right. So, how he's ended up on there? Has he been going fast?
40:18Car behind him, he was going fast, basically.
40:20Was he?
40:21The next thing I know, up there, there was a car beside us.
40:24Have you been arguing or anything like that, no?
40:26No.
40:27You just haven't, right.
40:28Are you sure you don't need to be seen by the ambulance or anything like that?
40:36Happens with everything.
40:38So, he comes from this way, does he?
40:44There's that other BMW that he got parked.
40:46He's been running the temperature because it hasn't kept up as he has.
40:51Dash cam from another motorist shows the red BMW losing control
40:56and crashing into the white Toyota.
41:01Well, you can see the other one's going nowhere near as fast as he is.
41:04Oh, no.
41:05So, you'll drift there?
41:08Generally, these bobs, he put his foot down a little bit,
41:10which has got away from him.
41:11Someone's came across because of his driving,
41:13so we'll do a couple of procedures with him
41:15to make sure that he's not over the limit or anything like that,
41:18and then we'll get an injury update for the driver of that vehicle.
41:31I'm not going to lie, it looks like on the initial inspection,
41:33there's dash cam footage of that, that you're going quick.
41:36Of me going quick?
41:37Yeah, and driving with the vehicle out of control.
41:39I don't feel like I was driving too fast for my capabilities,
41:43to be honest, I don't think I was going over 30.
41:46Have you had any alcohol or anything like that?
41:48I've had one Long Island iced tea.
41:52One Long Island iced tea.
41:54What I need from you is just one long continuous blow on this.
41:57If you want to take a deep breath now, I'll tell you when to stop, all right?
42:01Go on, keep going, keep going. Stop it.
42:06Champion, that's zero.
42:07So, what we need to do is we need to ascertain the injury level
42:10of the person in the other vehicle
42:12and make a decision from there as to what we'll do with you.
42:15All right.
42:29He has to have it, hasn't he?
42:30Yeah, he's passed. We've got an injury update.
42:32I don't believe it, to be serious. Not at this moment.
42:35What we'll do, OK, I'm going to deal with it,
42:39I'll give you a ring to arrange a convenient time
42:42so I can get an idea as to what his level of injuries are
42:45going to be, like, long-term or short-term.
42:51Do you want to hear another funny story?
42:53Go on, then.
42:54I came off my motorbike last week.
42:55Bloody hell. Are you all right?
42:57I've done my leg in, like.
43:00Maybe the bus is a good idea.
43:02I think it is.
43:08He'll be interviewed at a later date,
43:10which gives me enough time to conduct a proper condition update
43:14on the driver of the other vehicle.
43:16And hopefully this chap in this car is all right.
43:39I think, particularly because that's such a busy road,
43:43it could have been a lot worse,
43:45it could have been a lot more serious,
43:47so the driver of the other car is very, very lucky
43:50that he hasn't caused potentially sort of a fatality there.
43:54The fact that he came off his motorcycle just a week prior
43:59to an injury himself,
44:01it's a bit of a shock.
44:03The fact that he came off his motorcycle just a week prior
44:06to an injury himself,
44:08it sounds like he's a bit of a speed demon.
44:10So, yeah, I think he's been doing a bit of showing off
44:13and now someone else has been injured
44:15because of his actions and his ego.
44:18Driving cars which are too fast
44:21and driving well beyond his capabilities,
44:23so we'll be putting a notice on his car now,
44:27and him, if he's going to drive like that again,
44:30then we'll be taking his car off him.
44:32It'll be game over.
45:02.
