Note to self don’t buy any of these cars from the Bradford area or in general it’ll be stolen or cloned 😂

[@yorkshiremike5083]

👌

[@jaycearoo]

And the guy called monkey from east London and that's being straight up has a set up in Bradford area... 😮

[@SJ28540]

I avoid cars from Bradford in general 😂

[@hassyg4083]

stolen or cloned erm no. more likely its been raced and unmaintained

[@jd-lr7zu]

Avoid Bradford all together Birmingham is another dodgy city to buy from

[@brendanfisher2528]

Been from Bradford myself. I can confirm this list is 100% accurate... you will see these cars driving down the wrong side of the road passing traffic then cutting in or driving through red lights... Great work!

[@easyerc2226]

yep same :D

[@BMWMike]

Same. Only just started the video and I predict Golfs to be top.... Edit: Yay! I was right!

[@hassyg4083]

hardly any taffic cops on duty due to cuts so no one cares

[@taono]

i see these bellends a mile off while queing at roadworks/traffic lights, see them boost on the right lane (turn right only) then cut in at the last minute available space,.wierd thing is i aint mad at the bellend driver, im mad at the car drivers in the right lane not bunching up and stopping these twats jumpin the que,..now that does boil mi piss!

[@niamhc7369]

I love your humour so much. Always look forwards to your uploads. You’re one of the few people I genuinely laugh out loud at throughout the video

[@johnsmith-ik8il]

It was the attempted humour I found off putting TBH.

[@danielmarshall4587]

ALWAYS look forward to the balaclava clad nit-wit coming off the quad to spend the rest of their life as a Stephen Hawking tribute act. Lovely vid cheers.

[@seanhickling7340]

I never had any issues with Police due to the fact I always used a volvo, they never looked at me twice. The fact it was actually an ex police force unbadged T5 always passed them by! Good job I was never stopped! 😅

[@loopwithers]

One of the most genuinely hilarious and fluent narratives on cars EVER. Shows the way forward for most other car channels.

[@yorkshiremike5083]

Where to start with Bradford.... The one part of Yorkshire that work takes me to that makes me treat the journey like an SAS mission. Full tank of fuel the night before. In, out and done and out as quick as possible without as much as having to refuel, stop for a piss or buy lunch. My eternal nightmare is having to go to Bradford with work and and being involved in some kind of low speed traffic shunt in full knowledge that the other driver is most likely uninsured. Fond memories indeed 🤣

[@sloeginandsleep1170]

You're not wrong. I ended up being rear ended in Bradford (Insert dark joke here), and despite the other car being insured, my insurance ended up paying out... cos the registered keeper apparently lent it to his brother, who then lent it to his nephew, who lent it to a distant uncle, and it became a total quagmire of liability related bullsh**. 3 years later, I got a check from my insurance; they had recovered liability from the other party, here's your excess back. Fun times.

[@DaleChapmanCornwall]

Really great your humour Ben. The confidence and commitment to your KZbin with great content only adds to my respect for you! So glad to see you on the screen again!

[@well0so0they0say]

Around 2009 I got pulled over by the police in Keighley driving home from my mate's house in Leeds. I recall that the policeman said that I was driving quite fast doing 43mph on a 40mph road. I was breathalysed in the police van, which I passed, but I had a little bag of 5 pills of ecstasy in my backpack in the boot of my car at the time, so I was super scared that my boot would be searched and that I would be locked up overnight and my parents would inevitably find out about that. I had a 1999 Ford Fiesta of the era that you featured in this video and specifically recall the policeman commenting that he'd had one himself and liked that car. Not sure if it was you but he was a nice chap. I got off lucky, if I had failed the breath test I know that my car would have been seized and searched, but I took that lucky escape onboard, and I never forget that potential major disappointment of my parents. Safe to say, I never did anything like that again.

[@pleenc30]

Genuine lols here Ben, you have a wicked sense of humor, please keep the content coming and never change.

[@powershed]

I bloody LOVE your BRUTAL honesty Ben ! Mint video mate cheers 🙂

[@williamfence566]

It's been a while since I worked out of Bradford driving a truck on nights but I can confirm Ben is 100% correct. Remember Shipley airedale road just being a race track.

[@paulwoods4710]

Love you to bits! Brilliant video 😊,and hilarious commentary.

[@MrRavoss]

All the best Ben! Keep them videos coming! Perhaps in one of your videos you could let us know your thoughts on the budget decreases for British policing and what you see is the biggest change today from 20 years ago.

[@domclarke751]

The sarcasm and humour in these videos is so so good 😂 more of that please

[@noahsimulation3879]

I love this video, the whole banter around it is just fabulous 🤣🤣

[@johnrayner3940]

It's true certain vehicles have a stigma. Many moons ago, I owned a Ford Escort. I was often socialising late at the weekend, and I couldn't drive past a police car without getting tugged. Later, I drove a Citroen ZX, and it was like I was invisible to the police

[@Matt-hn4hn]

love these kinds of vids ben 👍

[@sammyg6387]

This has brightened my day…..you crack me up!🤣

[@turbostar7077]

[@secretbrad9259]

Ben nowt to do with this video, which as always is ace, but I want to thank you for encouraging me to look at my mental health. Just got back from Harrogate PTC who have hopefully put me back on track, but didn’t realise how poorly my brain was! Keep up the hard work, oh and why don’t you try and do a collaboration with the PTC to spread the word!

[@angelamuircroft5181]

Love these top of the cop videos. Your reactions are hilarious. Keep safe and well. Big hugs. 🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️

[@harveytr7106]

“And they’re driven by someone called Stan…and they’re given to them by a man called Ken” 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@stanwilliams4]

I want to clear my name from these allegations lol!

[@maxcullen3427]

As always a great view Ben 👮🏻‍♂️🚔🚓

[@dillanhill5141]

I can’t lie I was expecting BMW 1 Series to be at the top. M140i in particular 🤣

[@natrjack965]

Brilliant video ben laughing my head off 10 out of 10 mate ......we love you to 😂

[@Mami_Chaos]

Soon as you said KTM and sighed I joined in, my housing estate is full of them. They cause absolute hell and no one can catch them unless they fall off 😂

[@shaunpugh3287]

Thanks Ben, a great series. I'd like to see the most shite police cars, the most underrated cars and the scariest cars. Love you

[@brickhead48]

Surely some honorable mentions have to include; White BMW 320D, BMW M140i, Fabia VRS?

[@darrenbray7219]

This is h9nestly the best video of yours I have seen soon funny legend 😂

[@MarcBirks]

absolutely in tears, the KTM 2stroke, before it even came on i honestly knew you had to have this in the top 10!!!!!

[@aarona3606]

Great video, I've owned all cars mentioned including the ktm and a few quads (all legal). Plus I got a decent shout out 😂😂

[@hollanda4]

Total class Ben😂😂👏

[@S666GRJ]

Good impression of the flat 4 engine sound 🤣 love your humour mate

[@mzie9110]

Like how he cracks himself up😂😂

[@rh451]

US list: 1 Nissan Altima 2 Dodge Charger 3 Dodge Ram truck 4 Ford Crown Victoria Side note: 4 wheelers and dirt bikes should be street legal if: properly lighted, registered, insured, and driven with a helmet.

[@willramshaw4677]

Subscribed, 1st one I've watched this channel. Folded up laughing 😃 😀 😄 😁 🤣

[@shanefeather-lopez5935]

Love the humour, I venture into Bradford on a weekly basis to see family and usually end up rolling my eyes at the Audi RS's that prance about 😂

[@Dalbayob69]

JD sports vouchers 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I have to agree about insurance in Bradford. Used to live in Northern Ireland and was paying £440 per year but when moved to Bradford the insurance jumped to £2800 for the same car. Lived here for 10y now, almost 40y old and still paying £1k per year. Madness.

[@TM240x]

Top of the Cops merchandise needs releasing

[@marcushill78]

Have you started working for the Bradford Tourist Board? Sounds lovely there!

[@taklebury]

Thanks for the giggles! 😂

[@richoxon]

lol, your well funny.glad i randomly came across you😃

[@dennisblake2498]

Worst pursuit I’ve ever seen was an old mg metro being chased by a BMW touring estate traffic police car . I remember when the old bill had Rover SD1’s 2600 and 3500 3.5 V8’s . Most stolen was the Transit, even in the 1980’s .

[@jamesl6639]

Mr. Pearson your in rare form, in this video. Peace from James in Florida.

[@SatanJnr140988]

Love your humour, absolutely ace. Just don't get caught while watching Emmerdale 😂

[@mitchellhulston5269]

One day, you could make a TV show about going back to your old copper and explain in detail all of the things you've witnessed and experienced throughout your career

[@OllieSA96]

The Thorpe Edge/Ravo comment got me good as I still live in surrounding area😂

[@MrAcoustic09]

Everyone's Insurance with a fiesta has just sky rocketed 😂

[@Taytates-lr6kg]

Great video.this guy was spot on with the quad..useless noisy things..

[@GD-lk7jd]

Just got me a GTI MK7.5. Now I wanna return it! 😂

[@Graham6410]

I would say it's pretty true for South Essex as well anytime I see a post about a stolen car or just an abandoned one it's often those.

[@inlouisv7930]

Could’ve guess most of this list lol but can’t lie your Subaru impression is making me want one😂

[@mbjac]

Just bought a golf MADE OFF

[@georgef822]

8:40. It's a very good point about the RS4 but it can be applied to all "nice cars" nowadays. Everything is available on finance so it has taken away the prestige of owning a nice vehicle or nice items, in my opinion.

[@brickhead48]

Stuff thats old and modified catches my eye way more than boring new stuff nowa-days!

[@xanderpenney4546]

Top video

[@sammygirlie345]

How tall are you your hair is starting to remind me of snow capped mountains of the pyrenees love you content as always

[@user-gv6ny9wt5m]

Love this guy legend

[@maybenot6075]

According to the video floating round the internet it appears the old Morris "moggy" minor 1000 is the best vehicle to escape police with 😂

[@Anyallable]

Not a single beemer? Gotta be honest, I was expecting the 3 series to rank highly.

[@k-k-q.1009]

Surely one of the 135 or 140 😂

[@kristaylor92]

As soon as I saw this video...... I knew it was going to be the Golf. Living in W Yorkshire every single news article regarding a crash in Bradford involves at a Golf and/or a taxi..... Every single one! It's a running joke now.

[@davidpacker7602]

Genius bit of guerrilla golf marketing

[@jordancox1032]

Feeling very attacked being a MK1 focus ST170 owner

[@GDGRailway47712]

Very under-rated cars.

[@andyfreeman7057]

My mk1 focus was green, it couldn't outrun Mrs miggins on her mobility scooter though. Head gasket was knackered. 😂

[@jonathangoddard3426]

That was brilliant humour - wet my pants at that Ben (And I know you won't read this LOL) !! Daft sod!

[@Stephen_Johnson]

Saw you on police interceptors the other day chasing a 1 litre Toyota Starlet up a track, the brain donors managed to get away but left the car and a police X5 was used to snap the steering lock. Has Baby Ben transferred to North Yorkshire? Saw someone just like him called Ben on Traffic cops but with a different surname as soon as I saw him I thought that's Baby Ben

[@nigeh5326]

Loved my Focus mk 1. Great handling cars but lacking in power unless it’s the ST. Back in the early 80s W Mids police had Austin Allegros as panda patrol cars and they were so slow. I was a biker then and we used to just leave them for dead even on our 250s. The hot hatches were favourite cars for scum to steal then usually they were nicked thrashed crashed and burnt out hence why got hatch insurance went through the roof back then 😳

[@samparfitt9237]

In the first 20 seconds of the video you know it was going to be the Golf at #1. But had to watch the whole video just to make sure I was right 🤣

[@h.j.peters.2891]

this was hilarious, and so accurate. 😂😂😂

[@woodpeckerdrums6254]

Brilliant

[@simbo52bn22]

Love this - so much truth. I own a new Golf GTI too 🙂

[@joelthorogood2288]

I used to have a 58 plate red 2 door S3, but luckily now it is sold! I now drive a 66 plate insignia 2L diesel family car, as I have now grown up 😂

[@BenPearson1965]

😂😂😂 hatchback?

[@joelthorogood2288]

Yeah! 😂

[@Plentisaki]

Mate, don't forget a special mention to any Motability car/SUV that's guaranteed to be driven by anyone OTHER than who the vehicle is supposed to be driven by, and the reek of cannabis emanating from it!

[@kharnt.betrayer2946]

Not to be used on Killinghall Road. As someone who lives in Undercliffe I can confirm quads are still used routinely around Killinghall Road and Otley Road.

[@Simonpt]

Great video ben 🎉🎉🎉

[@westyorkshirepajero]

I should of turned off at number 10 😂 Funny though well done 👍🏼

[@safirahmed]

The vehicles mentioned will still be in use and outlast any of the new range of electric vehicles.

[@paulallen3905]

Everything you have spoken about is true ....100%

[@aidy6000]

interesting, different areas have their preferences, in the 90s in Manchester the Saab 9000 was the go to.

[@jeremywentworth1833]

Had 2 cars stolen first around 95 a J reg Cavalier Gsi 2000 then 2012 a 52 plate Golf GT TDI 150 which is the only car I've ever bought brand new but as I'd had it years it was an excuse to get another car , I had no choice it was written off and by chance the kids who nicked it were caught. Both were stolen of the drive in Ossett. My next door but 1 has a 16 plate RS3 which he's had several years I'm surprised it hasn't been nicked yet as he never puts it in the garage.

[@jamesaustin1445]

Quad bike spot on 😂😂

[@pjohnwilliams6941]

Here on Merseyside I'd say ⬇️ 1 new shape keyless Focus 2 VW Golf R 3 Audi S3 4 BMW 135 5 New shape keyless Fiesta St 6 Keyless Ford Kuga 7 Audi S4

[@jimthefinger7391]

Nice to see an honest view with no generalisation. I'm a turd burglar who drives a red Austin Metro.

[@maggiecampton-jones8383]

OMG I now have an image in my brain that I cannot get out! Yes I drive a VW Golf (was stolen but only driven 10k's and parked in car park near police station with keys left in it and no damage) am now booking therapy session to see if I can expunge the image of you watching soaps and doing whatever!!! Damn can't an appointment til next month! 🤪

[@ChrisW444]

Agreed about quad drivers, you just have to laugh at them don't you. So embarrassing. They just live sad lives because they haven't had any discipline. Must feel sorry for them for their sad lives and actions but question social services and the lack of corporal punishment for their 'no hope' lives.

[@tristanstevens7377]

I guessed it would be golf!! Mk4 all the way to the mk8 I bet aswell. I got the mk5 as a reliable run around and police are always looking 😂 ( I’m not a shithead either 😂 ) Unfortunately I ride quads 😂 but it is used for a farm and we use it for greenlaning aswell. But I wear a helmet not a balaclava 😂 Great video though Ben, I was laughing all the way through

[@biged5236]

You need to film more mate, thas a fucking legend!

[@Laurawalker1984]

Pmsl 😂😂😂 your videos make my evening 😂😂😂 you are absolutely brilliant..I live in Bradford and can relate to dickheads on quads 😂😂

[@elliotttalksf1825]

When you got to number 2 I thought surely the golf will be next. Every other chase on interceptors is a golf 😂

[@keiko909]

i've not got through this video yet, but if he doesn't mention it: sur ron bikes. ALWAYS being ridden by chavs. with balaclavas! its a shame because when i see sun ron videos from the usa, the bikes are ridden by normal people. over here though its a different story...

[@nicolajervis6695]

Ben so am I right in thinking that you don't like quads. Am 41 always wanted one don't think I will bother now 😂😂😂

[@carlrobson5745]

I remember that episode with the 12 year old he's probably training to be a lawer now.

[@GDGRailway47712]

TBH. GC8 Impreza turbos have gone up in price so much recently its pretty much only looked after ones left. I think £6k is the lowest priced one on Autotrader right now.

[@basvanderhoeven3234]

Surprised the M140i didn't make this list 😅

[@JonnyPerris]

Got my cupra R 2018 in Bradford insurance was only 4,000

[@connormckenzie9596]

I waited the whole way through this video to hear those sweet words of "VW Golf" every little shit bag I know had one 😂

[@rospollard8220]

If I see you in the street Ben I will say hello but if you don't mind I won't shake your hand. All the best.

[@neilbrown5657]

Woohoo made number 8 on the list 😂😂

[@garywhitaker5540]

Dont tell me you never chased a go cart . Had a few near misses listening to radio 2 on way home . Brrrrrrrrr cut right across me

[@jackhstproductions649]

Bit of a random question but what would you do if you had to stop your mum or dad because they had commited a traffic offence?

[@Kaneisback2]

Haggle for % of inheritance in the will.
