Nice to see PC Plod actually being knowledgeable about what they are doing. Honestly, every episode I’ve watched they’ve been professional but still human. Nowadays they all know nothing more then a handbook can teach them.

This is the best of all the cop reality shows. I remember being impressed when I first saw it on TV and it has held up very well. I can't believe the youth of those pursuit drivers. Mid 20s, a Cosworth and a speed exemption. I bet they recall the 90s with a warm glow. Wonder what they are doing now

July 88, puts it on a G or F, WTF!! 88 is E/F but July 88 is definitely not G so it's an E/F reg, unless the ashtray was faulty and was replaced, plus the G reg was the facelift so it would have different head rests and most likely a 1.6D, F reg facelift onwards was a 1.7D....

mine did not for to years, upset it even slightly like to much gas while turning setting off computer give up. 2011 i20 simple brake censor turn of abs,esp,tc and it fail any time sometimes engine off and back on fix it but soon fail again some times stay off for days and over those two years every time i driven to my local mechanic it fix it self so no error codes so no fix, most those two years just me keeping me safe no computer help i took 2 years to fully fail and esp light to stay on. had some interesting moments even back end out but save it without a snake when i snapped it back inline, i allowed the sideways energy to burn on the speed before lining up for exit corner. learned a lot car control over those years. a simple £80 fix on i20 can turn every computer help off. it fun at times but also nerving at times esp top mountains mid winter in horrid wet roads but learned what car likes and not, learned what tire limits and kept in them and adapted my driving without computer help. really it should be thing taught on driving lessons as simple thing can fail on any modern car at the time new driver so lot o learn fast but really should been taught before driving test @@petervankas1352

So the Police give the guy shit that he should check properly that the car isn't stolen and that it is easy to do,yet they called in a SPECIALIST team to check to see if the car is stolen! So if it's easy then why the need for the specialist team 🙄
@BaldMancTwat3 жыл бұрын
Because all you need to do is check the plate. The plate didn't match the vehicle, therefore it's not the right car or plate. They needed a specialist team to find out who the rightful owner was, not whether it was stolen or not. It's almost as though you didn't even watch the video. The copper could literally tell that the car was stolen from *driving behind* the car in question yet the "owner" supposedly couldn't tell.
