Motorway Cops: Catching Britain's Speeders

Late at night in Newcastle, PC Brian Camsell goes in pursuit of a suspect refusing to stop and who goes off-road, speeding through residential areas, before crashing into a parked car and fleeing on foot. In Northumberland, PC Jan Simlesa is patrolling the morning commute when a vehicle linked to drugs passes right by him, so he quickly spins around and stops it, discovering a driver dressed in his pyjamas and dressing gown nipping out for breakfast

PC Will Hunter pursues a car suspected of having cloned plates and when the driver eventually pulls over, the officer finds the driver aggressive, argumentative and smelling of alcohol, as well as unwilling to do a roadside breath test. In Northumberland, PC Chris Kemp is trying to find a car that refused to stop from motorway cops the previous night and tracks it down, but as soon as the occupants spot him they race off

PC Brian Camsell blue lights to an emergency. As he gets behind a car he hopes will get out of his way, the driver suddenly takes off - sparking a dangerous high-speed chase through Newcastle city centre. And in rural Northumberland, Sergeant Dave Roberts races to a serious crash between a car and a cyclist which is so severe that the car has flipped onto its roof and the injured cyclist is being treated by paramedics. It's Dave's job to work out what's happened and who's at fault

In Sunderland, PC Will Hunter stops a driver who is dangerously overtaking other vehicles and gets out the breathalyser. Outside Newcastle, PC Brian Camsell stops a car with suspected cloned number plates, with the driver claiming to have bought the car that morning for cash - with no receipt. But a search of the car reveals a set of number plates and accessories often favoured by thieves

PCs Jamie Leslie and Jan Simlesa are patrolling in North Tyneside when they spot a shifty driver in a car that is the worse for wear. As the vehicle turns into a cul-de-sac, they signal for him to stop but he rams their police car and takes off, sparking a high-speed pursuit

Sgt Dave Roberts races to the scene when a child is knocked off his bike by a car outside a school in Gateshead, but the wait time for an ambulance is three hours. PC Mary-Ann Hutchison receives a call from the police helicopter after its crew witness a man being assaulted and his assailants speeding away in a car

On the outskirts of Newcastle at night, Sergeant Dave Roberts is on the hunt for a possible cloned car. When he spots it pulling out of a side street, he gets on its tail, but the driver puts his foot down, and it's now a pursuit. The cops use tactics, bursting the car's tyres twice, but the driver still keeps going, refusing to stop despite two flat tyres. In a bid to shake off Dave, he makes the deadly decision to drive the wrong way down the A1, straight into oncoming traffic! Dave and more units track the car from the opposite side of the highway, but will the driver come quietly?

In the middle of the night in Sunderland, PC Will Hunter spots a BMW with a bust tyre, spitting out plumes of smoke. As he turns around to follow it, the driver decides to ditch the car in the middle of the road and make a run for it. Will chases him on foot, but he disappears into thin air. Will searches the car, which looks like it's been in an accident. The driver has left his mobile phone behind and checks reveal he lives nearby. Time for Will to pay the driver a home visit and see what he has to say!

In Sunderland PC Martain Anderson is searching for a disqualified driver with a reputation. On previous stops he's made no bones about being anti-police. Martain tracks the driver down to a back street and is asked to explain who he is to the already antagonistic suspect - Martain's response "I'm a police officer, what do you think I am, in fancy dress?!" The driver tests Martian's patience even further when he declares he is well aware he's disqualified, but as far as he's concerned, the law doesn't exist, and he doesn't need a driving license to travel on the roads!
