Next Episode of The Motorway Cops: Catching Britain's Speeders is
unknown.
Nicky Campbell narrates a look at how the nation's roads are policed, joining Cheshire's elite team of motorway officers as they crack down on Britain's worst drivers.
The programme returns for a new run, this time following officers from Humberside police. On the M180 near Scunthorpe, a car carrying a suspected burglar hits an ANPR camera. When the vehicle exits the motorway, the police seize their chance and box it in, but the driver seems more concerned about losing his footwear than getting nicked. In Hull, PC Adam Barley stakes out the main route in and out of the city for drivers with their foot down and it doesn't take long before he spots a driver doing 59mph in a 40 zone, while PC Moff McEwan hunts for a suspected cloned car that has been linked to a recent burglary.
At Grimsby docks, Sgt Tom Elvidge races to catch up with teenagers suspected of being armed with a knife while trying to steal a moped. With no time to wait for back-up, he chases after them alone. PC Martin Leak pulls over a driver who admits to using cocaine at a party a few weeks ago, but is he telling the whole truth?
On the outskirts of Scunthorpe, PCs Billy Stead and Nathan Saltmer are on the tail of a possible cloned BMW, but the driver attempts a getaway, running out of road and hitting a dead end. Determined not to give himself up, he makes a run for it across a field. What has he got to hide? On the M62, Billy is partnered with Sgt Lucy Hunnybun in pursuit of a vehicle suspected to be involved in multiple car thefts the previous night.
Cops pull over the driver of a suspected cloned car, who claims he's just swapped the regs between his two cars because one doesn't have insurance! In Hull, the cops' attention is drawn to a car. The driver claims he's just been giving his friends a ride. But his behaviour around the cops is very strange, and a breath test confirms why.
PC Joe Gorman races to stop a potential drink driver before there's a collision. And cops stop a driver who hits almost 100mph. Will a drugs test reveal anything?
Multiple units race to catch a group of potential car thieves. And police respond to a 999 call about a motorbike driving the wrong way into oncoming traffic.
Reports come in of two men armed with sledgehammers trying to break into a supermarket and officers race to the scene to intercept them, calling in the dog unit to assist. In Hull, PC Billy Stead is on patrol when he spots a car with significant damage to its front, but the driver claims it only happened recently and the garage said it was safe to drive
On the M62, police race to clear a crash scene after a car ploughs into a chemical tanker, sparking fears of an explosion. Elsewhere, a suspiciously honest provisional driver raises eyebrows, while in Beverley, cops track down a delivery driver they've dealt with before for driving while uninsured
After a spate of moped thefts in Scunthorpe, Sgt Tom Elvidge heads to the area and quickly spots a speedy motorbike that arouses his suspicions and he starts tracking it. In central Hull, PC Moff McEwan responds to a call about an HGV that has smashed into a railway bridge and there are concerns that if the impact has been too strong, then the entire bridge could come down.
Humber Bridge staff call police to let them know that a car has just passed through the toll stinking of cannabis and with checks on the car revealing it could be a clone, PC Wade Cruse joins other units at they attempt to hunt down the car. On the M62, the onboard ANPR camera pings up for a car driving without insurance. The cops think the driver's deliberately trying to see if they are on to him. Why has the driver been trying to shake off the cops? And in Grimsby, a dog unit chases a car that fails to stop.
