ITV Police Camera Action 3-11 Road to Nowhere [7 Jan 1997] (Jan 1998)

[@DanDart]

That's surely a very magic roundabout.

My local bit of the M4 ynisforgan or the pontardawe interchange

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

Yeah that foreigner should not reverse the vehicle over the zebra crossing

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

You must always pull over when the police officer wants to have a word with u

[@davecommentator]

19:46 - he's got wood ;) hurr hurr

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

The biker and the passenger at 1:59 is not stopping the officer has told them to stop but they didn’t stop

Having watched the seaview coaches driver tailgating, I had a policy of driving a bit slower, say if I was going 50mph, drop to 47mph, then 45mph until they took the hint, the more they tried to intimidate, the more stubborn I got But eventually I just stuck at the speed limit and let them sit there, it had the same effect, pissed them off

[@davecommentator]

Looking at that clip I'm not sure we're being shown the whole story - when the coach moves out to overtake the car it looks as if the car deliberately cuts in front of the coach and slows down to block it. More likely a road rage incident than just tailgating I think.

[@Keithbarber]

I knew somebody who reckoned that as he was (in his opinion) a "superb driver" on video games, he would be a "superb driver" out on the road, and could drive recklessly and still be safe, but he was only ever able to talk a good drive, but never took a test, so only ever talked crap

03:11 Haha it wasn't stolen, and it was an old Austrian Puch "Maxi" moped (1977). He had just been driving it around for months without any tax (often drunk) and it was only this time that the cops happened to take notice of him. I think someone called cops when he was seen leaving the pub and getting on the bike. As obviously, he was not fit to be riding.

[@dannyhtheretrogamingmaster9548]

IIRC the lad in that clip did a tv interview a while later basically saying that he was drunk and didn't know what he was doing at the time. Hopefully he wised up after that.

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

You must always stop when the lights are red not go through on red because that’s braking the rules

[@jwslijm7278]

Nice seatbelt.

Hi edutainment edutainment please upload police camera action episodes driven to distraction international patrol the liver run and rust buckets please as you can ☺

[@eccIefechan]

The Liver Run is already on KZbin and has been here for years.

[@calum1741]

I wonder who the two guys on the bike on the A3 chase were and if they are still alive today???

[@guypalmer7961]

This episode is from January 1997, not January 1998.

[@edutainmentedutainment9656]

Cheers. The date refers to when I recorded the program, not necessarily the original transmission date. If the program is a repeat, then the repeat will have the following year's date. I use the recorded date so if I ever need to go back to the original VHS recording, I know where to look. When I've uploaded more of these programs I'll number them in sequence. :-)

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

Yeah it’s definitely January 1997

[@davecommentator]

17:10 - the sound is identical to the voiceover of the officers in another episode when a car reverses back up a motorway sliproad. Masking swearing maybe, or just lazy editing? (edit) My money is on the latter, cos the horn from the lorry in the following clip is blatantly dubbed in.
