CreativityTranscript
00:00I believe that if someone drives past now and they just see a random traffic police
00:08stand then I would 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
00:23car to be towed away.
00:26There's the cavalry here.
00:28Good God, now I would be really angry, seizing a stolen car outside my house when the car
00:38alarm goes off in the early hours of the morning and it wakes us up.
00:43A public service announcement and it's stolen and we've got to get it back to them and this
00:48is the only way we can do it.
00:50It's going to do it again.
00:54Awkward.
00:56Madness, innit?
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.
01:21And on the front line are our motorway cops.
01:28Are we going?
01:29Why, aye.
01:30Of course we're going in.
01:31We join Northumbria police.
01:33You're not going to get a selfie with us?
01:34No.
01:35I've just took your car off you.
01:36As they chase down dangerous drivers.
01:39Mate, you're all bladdered.
01:41You've had a drink, haven't you?
01:42I've had two.
01:43And get the worst offenders.
01:44Did he do what I've just done, which is shoot and hit?
01:47But I nearly got away.
01:48Nearly got away but you didn't.
01:49Off our roads.
01:51Do you know how I be called?
01:53Yeah.
01:54Anything I do say may be given in evidence, Mr Officer.
01:57Helping them in their battle with idiots behind the wheel is Dashcam.
02:03Have you seen the Dashcam footage?
02:05It's vital evidence.
02:06So your address there?
02:07And proof that Britain's dumbest drivers are a law unto themselves.
02:15Police 1, criminal 0.
02:18Police 1, criminal 0.
02:26Tonight.
02:27I'm going to have to try and make contact with them here.
02:32A high-speed chase leaves a suspect floored.
02:35Get out of the car now!
02:36Get out of there now!
02:37On the ground!
02:38On the ground!
02:41The car's got no front reg plate displayed.
02:43I'm waiting for them to do it.
02:44I'm just waiting to get paid.
02:45Does well 20 pence to get you some Velcro.
02:48It's bad timing for a cash-strapped driver.
02:51So you're saying you're a skin boy?
02:52You've got a Rolex?
02:53Why didn't you say...
02:54Oh.
02:59Take some progress.
03:00I'm about to see a big crash.
03:02It's bad.
03:03Oh, I wasn't driving.
03:04Ridiculous.
03:05I don't know how I came out.
03:08And the camera never lies at a serious collision.
03:16There are almost 3,800 officers serving in Northumbria Police.
03:22But only the select few...
03:24Let's see what the day brings.
03:26...have the honour of wearing the white cap of the motorway cops.
03:30Don't want to mess it here up too much, I think, but...
03:34I don't think it looks too bad, to be fair.
03:38Professional.
03:39Yeah, we'll go for professional.
03:44PC Tommy Wade is already warmed up for his 12-hour stretch behind the wheel.
03:49Today, I've been to baby yoga.
03:52My problem is, after about 30 years of football, the knees are short.
03:57I have to rely on my wife doing the hard work.
04:00I've got to do it.
04:01I've got to do it.
04:02I've got to do it.
04:03I've got to do it.
04:04I've got to do it.
04:05I've got to do it.
04:06I have to rely on my wife doing the harder stuff.
04:09I just do the little rocking part.
04:17A lot easier on the knees, I can tell you this, than baby yoga.
04:21I think we're set up and good to go.
04:23Let's do it.
04:36If I could do permanent night shifts, that's what I would be doing.
04:40Having a baby at home is sort of...
04:43I'm already in the night shift mode.
04:45Sleep isn't the easiest thing to come by, but...
04:49last night, she managed a good, I would say, 9 hours, which is tremendous.
04:55So you would think, anyway, what would feel worse for the sleep?
04:59There's just no winning.
05:01Tonight, we're going to have a little cruise around Sunderland town centre, I think.
05:06Good chance we're going to come across something.
05:08Yeah, I've got a good feeling about tonight.
05:31The car's swung round the junction.
05:38He drove totally erratically, and you think, well, why are you doing that?
05:44Oh, he's gone. He's gone.
05:50978 Urgent, vehicle free on the stop.
05:56Tactically trained pseudo-vehicle, request authority for the pursuit.
05:59Pursuit's off the right.
06:01It's on a micro, arguments unknown, destination unknown.
06:0610-1-7, just keep me in touch, come and also risk assessment, please.
06:09Pitcairn Road, Pitcairn Road, low risk speed, 5-0.
06:14If possible, clear and clear, then after that, comes back the different vehicle.
06:20We're left, left, left, towards Hilton Road.
06:25High risk in the oncoming lane, back to near side lane.
06:28Still eastbound, speed 6-0.
06:314-6-1, travelling.
06:37LB, two tactical cars are on us.
06:40So, right, right, right, on to Edrick Road, speed 7-0.
06:46LB, has gone, lights out, we are in a well-lit area, medium risk, speed 5-0.
06:52LB, try and push him towards the 183, I'm on it.
06:54183, I'm on it.
06:55Yes, yes, we're towards the 183, I'm going to try and keep him on.
06:59Tony, I'm going to try and get us to the edge of the road.
07:03Left, left, left, and right, right, right.
07:11Where's the next EOS car, please?
07:14That's me, behind you now.
07:16Yes, yes.
07:20LB, driving's going to be dangerous.
07:25He's trying to do it to our Rama, LB.
07:29I'm going to have to try and make contact with him here.
07:44Space travel has nothing on Britain's drivers.
07:48Strange creatures, zooming around in metal boxes.
07:51Showing few signs of intelligent life.
07:55And oblivious to the little green men.
08:00It's enough to make you cry.
08:02Beam me up, Scotty!
08:109-7-8, urgent, vehicle failing to stop.
08:16LB, driving's gone to dangerous.
08:19LB, driving's gone to 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 here.
08:42Coming to premiere.
08:44LB, he's going off-road, off-road.
08:47I'll go round the other side, you two pursue him.
08:59LB, it is high risk. We've just passed a pedestrian on a footpath, heading towards the plane's farm.
09:07It's a bit narrow to make contact, and I'm conscious there could be people on the other side.
09:11LB, it is high risk. We've just passed a pedestrian on a footpath, heading towards the plane's farm.
09:14He's chucking stuff out of the car at the minute.
09:18Let's try and get a containment on now.
09:25Contact.
09:29Stop! Get out of the car now! Get out of there! Now! On the ground! On the ground! Get on the ground now!
09:36Hand behind your back!
09:38LB, vehicle stopped. One detained. Stand up! Stand up! Get up!
09:45LB, no, just the driver. We've got him.
09:54You're locked up, mate, for dangerous driving.
10:00You're just taking chase, bro, like that? Are you sitting there?
10:02You realise you could have killed someone there, you know? Throwing the car on the road.
10:13Can I get a check on his driver, please?
10:16He's shown his expired provisional licence holder.
10:20Just give me what was aggravated. Vehicle taken.
10:22Just give me what was aggravated. Vehicle taken.
10:31He had a drink.
10:34I'm going to ask you to blow through that until I tell you to stop. Hurry up.
10:37Keep going, keep going, keep going. Stop.
10:4376.
10:45He's blew well over the limit.
10:48He got out on you, shouldn't have. Drugs.
10:51I don't smoke.
10:53What was that, cannabis?
10:55No.
10:57Yeah, drugs, right.
10:59I'm going to ask you for a sample of this, OK?
11:02All we're testing for here is cannabis and cocaine, all right?
11:05Just move your tongue around the inside of your mouth for us.
11:08Wait, and then stick out.
11:11Wait, give us two minutes, mate, where we'll get this one, and then we'll get you over here.
11:15Positive.
11:17Take him in.
11:28He's the prime example of a dangerous driver.
11:31To take him off the road has potentially saved an untold amount of time.
11:35He's a dangerous driver.
11:37He's a dangerous driver.
11:39He's a dangerous driver.
11:40He's a dangerous driver.
11:42To take him off the road has potentially saved an untold amount of injury to people and collisions,
11:46and that's why we do it.
11:48See, it's one off the street. I'm over the moon with that.
12:11I assume you've been to Southwick before?
12:14Aye. Aye.
12:40Right, let's see what the damage is.
13:03Well, in the greater scheme of things, I'd break the dent here.
13:07Yeah, well, number plates can be replaced.
13:24Morning, Sergeant, how are you?
13:26Morning, I'm good, how are you?
13:28I'm good, aye.
13:30Ready for another exciting day?
13:32I am, where are we going to go?
13:33Got you, keep us company.
13:35I'm going to look after you, give you a cuddle if you need it,
13:38but if you step out of line, you'll be part of the naughty step.
13:41PC Mark Crammond and Acting Sergeant Andy Clark have only just started their shift,
13:47but they're already having a standoff.
13:50Fastest to the keys drives.
13:54Keys are in the middle. Fastest hands we're in on the count of three.
13:58One, two, three.
14:00Close.
14:01I'm driving.
14:03I can't believe I've lost.
14:05I'll let you drive tomorrow.
14:07What of tomorrow?
14:09Exactly. Right, Mark, shall we get out?
14:11Ready to hit the road?
14:13Yeah.
14:15Come on, you can't be a hero behind a desk, can you?
14:17No.
14:21You know what I could be doing today instead of being at work?
14:24Yeah.
14:26Could be at home sunbathing.
14:29It is warm in here.
14:31Yeah.
14:45You're looking good in your shades today. It's the right weather for it.
14:48Well, I need them to see because of prescription.
14:50You sure you can still say out them though?
14:52Who said that?
14:55I don't feel safe in the passenger seat anymore now.
15:02The car looked a little bit hesitant as well. It didn't know where it was going.
15:10Tunes not held. Nissan Juke in front.
15:14Just going to give him a stop.
15:16Quick chat with him.
15:22There's no one in the back.
15:24No one in the back?
15:26No.
15:28No one in the back?
15:30There's kids in the corner.
15:38Hello, are you alright? How are you doing?
15:40The reason I've stopped you is because I've just done a check on the car and it's shown as not having any insurance.
15:44Right.
15:46Do you have any insurance?
15:48Yeah.
15:50We don't feel comfortable with this.
15:52Well, what I'm really uncomfortable with is the middle child not being in a proper seat.
15:56Just took her seatbelt off.
15:57Right, not in a proper seat.
15:59And you not having any insurance.
16:01So that's the main worry at this moment in time.
16:04How long you own the car for?
16:07Are you able to get proof of your insurance for us please?
16:10Do you want to just hop out and jump in the back of our car and we'll do some checks in there?
16:14You don't want to do that?
16:16Do you have insurance or not?
16:18Right, do you want to get that? Then you can get in your car and drive off.
16:21Stop 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.
16:35She's not happy.
16:37What if I'm ringing my boyfriend again?
16:39You 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. I'm stuck on Shields Road.
16:45At the minute she can't produce any policy of insurance.
16:49So she's trying to get her other half to find it for her.
16:51The more people argue, the longer it takes to deal with them.
16:56Well that was the insured. The 24th of June in my name.
17:01Aye but that's the 7th of July though. No permanent policy of insurance.
17:22She's got a massive history of no insurance.
17:25About 4 or 5 in the last 2 or 3 years of no insurance.
17:28So I'm just going to check her driving licence.
17:30She's shown as having an expired driving licence.
17:33So she's had her licence, well not the 2 years.
17:43You must have had your driving licence less than 2 years.
17:51You might have been banned and had to re-sit your test.
17:54There's no insurance on the car that week.
17:56So you haven't been able to prove any in the time I've been here.
17:58And your driving licence is shown as expired substantive.
18:01So you don't even have a driving licence either.
18:03Regardless of insurance.
18:05Do you know what it is? I've got a quote the other week as well.
18:07And they didn't say none of this.
18:09Well they're probably not as diligent as me.
18:11I'll report you for the offence of driving with no licence and no insurance.
18:16In short, you'll not be driving the vehicle anywhere.
18:19Right.
18:21So it looks like lift.
18:23Excuse me?
18:26Can you lift me up?
18:28Off me?
18:30I've got no baby's palm so nothing can even pop off of me.
18:34Can you just leave me one strand and my 2 kids?
18:36Well that's a choice you took when you started driving today.
18:49She's awake.
19:03Attitude stinks really to be fair.
19:05She was using all the distraction techniques and deal with this and deal with that.
19:09And she was doing everything extra.
19:11Showing us her insurance.
19:13And it was everybody else's fault except her own.
19:15Don't want to leave anybody stranded.
19:16However, she has to accept a little bit of parental responsibility and look after our children and organise our own lift home.
19:23So hopefully that little experience the next time that she decides to drive without the right documents, it might remind her.
19:29It's a little bit difficult.
19:46Morning.
19:47Mornings. How are you?
19:49What are you having? A latte?
19:51A big latte please. A big latte.
19:54I will help out.
19:56And I've got a magic stirrer for her.
19:58Because we're on motor trails I think it's important that we use a tool for the stirrer.
20:02And plus because there's probably no spoons down there either.
20:05I'm just concerned about the absolute state of your mug.
20:08My face or the cup?
20:10Oh wow.
20:12That is disgusting.
20:14That is grim.
20:16I do apologise that you've even got to hold the handle really.
20:20PC's Moira Cullen and Jamie Leslie don't even have to leave the station to get their first lock up.
20:28We're going to have to steal some milk.
20:30I don't think I've ever seen padlocked milk.
20:32I'll try the classic 999.
20:34I feel like a proper code breaker.
20:36Despite us not actually breaking any codes.
20:39The code of ethics.
20:41Or honesty and integrity.
20:44Nah, I give up.
20:46I give up.
20:54Ready for another day?
20:56See what today brings.
20:58Hopefully nothing but peace and tranquility.
21:00I very much doubt that.
21:07We've got the dream team back together here.
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?
21:21Good vibes?
21:23Always good vibes with you.
21:24Ready?
21:42Just went through a very, very obvious red light.
21:49Pull in there.
21:55Don't like what you see in the mirror?
21:58Then it's time to give your driving a makeover.
22:02Try a close shave.
22:05Or a fresh set of bangs.
22:08Highlight those curves.
22:12And say goodbye to unwanted lines forever.
22:25Just went through a very, very obvious red light.
22:29In Newcastle, a van driver has jumped a red light,
22:33right in front of Jamie and Moira.
22:37Pull in there.
22:54Hello sir, are you alright? Are you alright? You're just knocking the engine off. Just
23:03have a seat in the back of my car for two minutes, sir. That's alright.
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.
23:17Right, 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. It was a bit too late for us.
23:37Well, it was red. It was definitely red because you slowed and then thought about it and then
23:41went through it.
23:43Well, okay.
23:46Right, these lights, they've just been installed as well, so that they go off and on quick
23:53please, mind. Right, very quick.
23:57Can I just run the driver through?
24:00This all reports present. He was caught in 2006 when he had a toy BB gun.
24:06I can actually remember that as well now. I must have been about like 14 or something.
24:10I don't know. You've been young, isn't it?
24:12Is that like a spud gun?
24:13Possibly, yeah. Possibly.
24:21You're in Shardattic and all that, aren't you?
24:23Yes, the company's fine.
24:27Have you just finished your work?
24:28Just finished, yeah. I was just driving back to my estate.
24:31What time do you start work?
24:32I started at like 8 today and just finished at half ten.
24:36Is that you for the end of the day now?
24:37Oh, that's not bad.
24:39No, I've got a pretty cushy job to be fair.
24:41I'm a gas engineer by trade.
24:43Bit like me, I'm one job a knock and that's me done for the day.
24:46So I'm your job.
24:47I wish, I wish this was it.
24:51Do you know what I'm going to do? Because of the time of day, all right, I'm not going to give you a ticket.
24:54However, what I am going to do, all right, is I'm going to refer you for a driver alertness course.
25:01The thing is, I'm sat behind you.
25:03Mark traffic vehicle, plenty of Battenberg on the side of this to be seen.
25:06You should have been aware that there's a police behind you.
25:09And the red light.
25:10OK, so I'm going to report you for the offensive careless driving.
25:13All right.
25:13I'm not going to give you points.
25:15OK.
25:15Is this going to be the best address to send that paperwork to?
25:19Yes.
25:19These new estates are hard to get a hold of.
25:22My post goes to theirs and theirs comes to mine.
25:25Oh, does it?
25:26Yeah, it's a nightmare for deliveries.
25:27What a chew on.
25:28Any takeaways?
25:29Well, I don't really eat much takeaways or drink either.
25:33I keep myself active.
25:35God, you're like the total opposite of me.
25:37That's all I do is drink and eat takeaways.
25:39In any case, hopefully we don't catch up again.
25:42Maybe he's not.
25:43See you later, take care.
25:55How do people get these jobs?
25:57I finished work at half 11 in the morning.
26:00What are we doing here?
26:01It's done a three and a half hour day.
26:07What do you think?
26:08Do you reckon his view was obscured by the lorry?
26:12Or do you think he's just been in a rush to get home
26:14because he's had a flyer at work?
26:16Yeah, quite possibly.
26:18Yeah, I think he thought, I can't wait to get on that sofa
26:22and watch the TV.
26:23Put my feet up.
26:24Put my feet up.
26:25Tell the missus I've had to be at work until 6 o'clock.
26:30Lucky him.
26:31Still got another 10 hours.
26:32I'm going to be a bit late.
26:33I'm going to be late.
26:34I'm going to be late.
26:35I'm going to be late.
26:36Still got another 10 hours with you.
26:39And your Fanta.
26:42This is going to be the longest day of your life.
26:59What do you call the TV remote control?
27:02TV remote?
27:03I hear people call it a clicker.
27:05We call it a remote all the time.
27:07Yeah?
27:08Pass a remote?
27:09Remote, remote, remote.
27:10Another day, somebody in the house says,
27:13can you pass us the clicky buttons?
27:15And I was like, the what?
27:16Andy and Mark like to choose their words wisely,
27:20as anything they do say may be given in evidence.
27:24I'm posh.
27:25I call the living room a lounge.
27:27We've got a utility room that she decided that she was going
27:30to try and call the pantry.
27:31Oh, we've got a tiny, little, teeny-weeny,
27:33understairs cupboard in the kitchen,
27:34which she calls a pantry because it's got some shells in it.
27:37Oh.
27:38It's in the pantry.
27:40You mean the tiny, little cupboard?
27:42Yeah.
27:42Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
27:51Do you see that?
27:52Aye.
27:54So it looks as if the car that they're getting into
27:57has got no front reg plate displayed.
27:59So when that moves off, we'll get that reg number
28:02and give that one a stop and have a little chat.
28:04It's in the window.
28:06Still not displayed correctly, is it?
28:08Negative.
28:10100 pound fine, isn't it?
28:12Aye.
28:13Oh, it's coming straight over.
28:29Yeah, it doesn't look like anyone's got their belts on.
28:31Can't see the driver, so.
28:33He's definitely not got his on.
28:35What a sausage.
28:37Drivers without seat belts raise motorway cops' suspicions.
28:41Criminals looking for a quick getaway
28:43rarely strap in for the ride.
28:51Mark and Andy's fellow motorway cops
28:54are behind a Nissan driver in Gateshead, who they've spotted
28:57isn't wearing a seat belt.
29:00Despite several attempts to get him to stop,
29:02the driver seems oblivious.
29:06At a red light, the cops grab their chance for a chat.
29:10But the driver has other ideas and makes off down the A1.
29:22With the police on his tail, it looks like the suspect
29:25has something to hide.
29:30More patrols join the chase and battle
29:34to keep pace with the driver as he weaves in and out of traffic.
29:41He hits the gas.
29:43Speed, 90.
29:45And shoots down a slip road.
29:49The desperate perp jumps a red and tears across a roundabout.
29:55But his luck runs out as he finds himself outnumbered
29:59and surrounded.
30:09The driver was found guilty of dangerous driving
30:12and 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.
30:29The car's got no front reg plate displayed.
30:32It doesn't look like anyone's got their belts on.
30:35In Blythe, Andy and Mark are behind a driver missing a seat
30:38belt and his reg plate.
30:42Stubborn.
30:44Have a quick chat.
30:51I don't think the rear seat passenger's got his seat belt on either.
30:54Wait there, she's going to shuffle and try and get it on,
30:56isn't she?
30:59Hello, you all right?
31:01A couple of reasons you're being stopped.
31:03Seat belts, for one.
31:04Yeah.
31:05Right, no-one's wearing any.
31:07I know, sorry, we've literally just pulled away.
31:09Because do you know how much it is for a seat belt fine now?
31:11How much?
31:12200 quid.
31:13Do you know what'll happen if you have a crash?
31:16You'll go through the windscreen, your head will crush her head,
31:19she'll die and he'll have a headache.
31:20Yeah.
31:21But you'll be dead, so you won't have to worry about the headache.
31:25Yeah.
31:26Yeah, young'un?
31:28Jump out.
31:31What happened to this?
31:32Did this come off in a crash, didn't it?
31:34That's the other reason we wanted to speed here.
31:35Yeah, yeah, I'm waiting to go and do it.
31:37I'm just waiting to get paid.
31:40It's got about 20 pence to get you some Velcro,
31:42double-sided Velcro.
31:43Yeah, yeah, I can get that.
31:44I'm going to get it sorted.
31:50I'm just waiting to go and do it.
31:52I'm just waiting to get paid.
31:53I'm just waiting to go and do it.
31:54I'm just waiting to get paid.
31:56Do you think this will work?
32:12Is this going to be on, for us?
32:13Yeah.
32:14Legend.
32:15I'm all sticking it on for you.
32:16Giving us this stuff to do.
32:17Aye, it's after you.
32:20You've got a Rolex.
32:21Why don't you just...?
32:22Oh.
32:23You know.
32:24Well, it's in Thailand, you hear me?
32:27All right, well.
32:28That's why I'm skint.
32:29Well, focus on getting the basics right,
32:32rather than the luxuries of life.
32:34So you potentially could have had 100 pound for that,
32:36200 pound for your belt, 200 pound for your belt,
32:38200 pound for your belt.
32:40Would that be all right to stick a bit?
32:41Nah.
32:42He's going to say it's going to fall off.
32:43It's got to be visible.
32:44I don't know if you're visible there.
32:46Not 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.
32:55There you go.
32:57Looks more like you're part of me now.
33:02So today, an old joke on the side,
33:04this is your educational conversation
33:06to wear your seat belts.
33:08Because obviously, your record will now
33:09be majors have all been stopped in sport now.
33:11So that'll be your last ever warning, OK?
33:13Sorry, what was that?
33:15Oh, that.
33:16Yeah.
33:27Watch him drive off and a plate just drops on the floor.
33:41Sometimes it's nice just to help somebody out and be
33:45a little bit mature.
33:46Because he's seen his skin, he couldn't afford to do it,
33:49whilst he's driving around in a car, which is a luxury item.
33:53And yeah, he can't be bothered or afford
33:56to stick a number plate at the front of his car.
33:59It's pretty frustrating.
34:00One of my pet haters, people who don't have a front number
34:04plate, I hate it.
34:06Is that why you carry stickers in your bag?
34:08Aye, it's a little bit like Mary Poppins' bag.
34:10It's just got a bit of everything in it.
34:12Hopefully he's got an air fryer to cook my Sunday dinner in.
34:15Yeah.
34:27Do you name any of the traffic cars?
34:29We don't.
34:30No, I think some people do.
34:32I mean, I probably should, really.
34:34What would you think for this one, then?
34:37So if you've got any ideas?
34:38So a Volvo.
34:40Would you go down the V route?
34:42Would it have to be a girl's name?
34:43I think I'd probably go with Valerie.
34:46Valerie?
34:47Valerie.
34:48That's 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, Summers, and Copeland.
35:02Today's famous police trio are Jamie, Moira, and Arnie.
35:07Something which really says, like, this is a mean machine.
35:12Arnie.
35:13Decent, that, isn't it?
35:14That's it.
35:14That's a strong name, that.
35:16Shredded?
35:17Yeah.
35:18Good presence, Arnie.
35:20Let's get to Scotswood.
35:33Police emergency.
35:34Kingston program, I'm about to see the big crash.
35:37I just seen it come flying off the motorway,
35:39and then I heard, like, bang, crash,
35:41and then I thought, holy shit.
35:42You're going to have to send cameras and see straight away.
35:45It's bad.
35:47Yeah, I'm on this one.
35:55Kingston Park, roundabout section 2,
35:56vehicle RTC was unveiled in a white Toyota
35:59who potentially injured her.
36:03The BMWs hit the white Toyota.
36:07These doors caved in.
36:11My main concern is to ensure the safety of everyone.
36:22There'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.
36:33It's important to gather as much evidence
36:36to quickly try and establish what's actually happened,
36:39because with worst-case scenario, sort of a fatality.
37:06Self-driving cars are the future,
37:09but dashboard computers will still need plenty of ram,
37:15so they don't freeze at the wrong moment,
37:20wrestle with autocorrect,
37:24or hit backspace under pressure.
37:27One thing's for sure, human or robot,
37:29you're never far from a reboot.
37:35Kingston Park, roundabout, this is a big crash.
37:39There's a report that there's one male trapped in this car here,
37:43so don't know what his injuries are just yet.
37:47In Newcastle, Jamie and Moir are at a serious two-car collision.
38:05What's injury-wise, what have we got there?
38:07I don't know, they're just getting assessed.
38:11The paramedics are here, the fire brigade are here,
38:13just keep looking forward, we've got everybody here that needs help.
38:16This turned up, when we turned up on set,
38:18the BMW driver was driving erratically,
38:21and then he's gone into the side of the...
38:23Where's this one been coming from?
38:25He's been coming round...
38:26And that's came off, that's gone out and nudged him back in.
38:28It's all the garage on the side, so the whole driver's door's in.
38:31Oh, right.
38:37He's saying shoulder pain, saying he feels like he's popped out,
38:40like a bit, and then all down his leg.
38:48So, we've got an RTC where this BMW's obviously ended up off a grass verge,
38:53and we've got another member of the public's been thrown in the mix,
38:56where he's been struck a lamppost, they're trapped in the car at the moment.
39:03With the fire service working to release the trapped victim
39:07of the crash...
39:08You all right, mate?
39:09Yeah, I'm fine.
39:10..Jamie 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?
39:28Oh, it wasn't driving ridiculous.
39:30I don't know how it came out, asked the wife.
39:32She was in the passenger seat.
39:35Well, you were driving, so how's the back end came out?
39:38I 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 has said that he's just come round the roundabout quite normally,
40:00and the back end's got away from him.
40:01In my experience, that didn't just happen.
40:06Are you all right? Are you his partner, are you?
40:08Yeah, I am.
40:09In the red car?
40:10Yeah.
40:11All right, so how he's ended up on there?
40:13Has he been going fast?
40:14The car behind him, he was going nice and fast, basically.
40:17Was he?
40:18The next thing I know, up there, there was a car beside us.
40:21Have you been arguing or anything like that, no?
40:24No.
40:25You haven't, right, champion.
40:26Are you sure you don't need to be seen by the ambulance or anything like that?
40:28He might need an ambulance, yeah.
40:31Happens with everything.
40:32Where he come from, this way, does he?
40:38There's that other BMW that he had.
40:40Apparently, he's been running the century,
40:42but hasn't crashed, as he has.
40:46Dash cam from another motorist shows the red BMW losing control
40:51and crashing into the white Toyota.
40:54Well, you can see the other one's going nowhere near as fast as he is.
40:57Oh, no.
40:58So, you'll drift there?
41:01Generally, these bobs, he put his foot down a little bit,
41:03which has got away from him.
41:04Someone's came across because of his driving,
41:06so we'll do a couple of procedures with him
41:08to make sure that he's not over the limit or anything like that.
41:11And then we'll get an injury update for the driver of that vehicle.
41:16So, we're going to do a couple of procedures with him
41:18to make sure that he's not over the limit or anything like that.
41:20And then we'll get an injury update for the driver of that vehicle.
41:24I'm not going to lie, it looks like, on the initial inspection,
41:27there's dash cam footage of that, that you're going quick.
41:30Of me going quick?
41:31Yeah.
41:32And driving with the vehicle out of control.
41:34I don't feel like I was driving too fast for my capabilities,
41:37to be honest.
41:38I don't think I was going over 30.
41:41Have you had any alcohol or anything like that?
41:43I've had one Long Island iced tea.
41:47Have you had any alcohol or anything like that?
41:49I'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, alright?
42:01Go on, keep going, keep going.
42:03Stop 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.
42:16Alright.
42:22A few hours later
42:30He has to have it then.
42:31He's passed, we've got an injury up to us.
42:33I don't believe it to be serious.
42:35Not at this moment.
42:37What we'll do, I'm going to deal with you for a moment,
42:40I'll give you a ring to arrange a convenient time
42:43because I can get an idea as to what his level of injuries are
42:46going to be like long term or short term.
42:48Take a few pink colours, man, if you like.
42:51Do you want to hear another funny story?
42:53Go on then.
42:54I came off my motorbike last week.
42:55Bloody hell.
42:56Are you alright?
42:57I've done my leg in.
43:00Maybe the bus is a good idea.
43:02I think it is.
43:09He'll be interviewed at a later date
43:11which gives me enough time to conduct a proper condition update
43:14on the driver of the other vehicle.
43:16Hopefully this chap in this car is alright.
43:21MUSIC
43:47I think particularly because that's such a busy
43:51road, it could have been a lot worse,
43:53it could have been a lot more serious.
43:55The driver of the other car is very, very lucky
43:57that he hasn't caused potentially a fatality there.
44:02The fact that he came off his motorcycle
44:05just a week prior to injure himself,
44:08it sounds like he's a bit of a speed demon.
44:11So yeah, I think he's been doing a bit of showing off
44:14and now someone else has been injured
44:16because of his actions and his ego.
44:19Driving 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.

44:41you think could feature in the next series of Motorway Cops,
