Motorway Accidents That Left the Cops Speechless!

[@John-G]

Absolute respect to the two police in the first video, with the repeat drink driver. Professional, courteous, but compassionate. A major change from too many others trying to come across as professional hard men. If only the police had more like them.

So true! It's nice to see police seeing things from another persons POV, whilst still being professional. Top job 👏

34:51 woah, that gave me CHILLS when they said the 2-year-old was placed in the front seat only cuz they had a bunch of stuff in the back seats… THE SAME BACK SEATS that were OBLITERATED ! Definitely had some angels hanging out around them 🩵 I also feel for the operator who heard the man saying he’s afraid of a crash, just before the crash, screaming, crying then nothing = heart wrenching.

[@ewanbaxter9199]

Very glad Mr Towu and his daughter survived that awful crash. Did he say at 36:26 that a warning light came on so he stopped where he was in the motorway lane and put his hazards on?? Warning lights do not mean you have to stop immediately, even if it was the oil light. Unless his engine had seized maybe he could have moved to the hard shoulder.

[@NickFinan]

He also made an earlier reference to stopping when he saw the light. No attempt is evident that he tried to cross to the hard shoulder. Looks like he just stopped.

[@86XFA]

No, he said when the light came on he put on his hazards and couldn't possibly have made it safely to the hard shoulder. Even the police said it was not possible for this driver to find the hard shoulder and was left with no choice

If you're given a driving ban due to drink or drug then to be able to get a licence again you should have to do extensive medical tests at your own expense prior to being allowed to re-apply.

More of an example of how dangerous dumb drivers are. In 40 years of driving I've experienced break downs and punctures on the motorway and have always managed to either pull onto the hard shoulder, safety zone or at least pull as far off the lane as I could. As soon as you sense your car has a problem you get into lane 1 ready to pull off, you don't carry on driving in lane 2 waiting for the car to breakdown.

Smart motorway works, when done correctly. The Video shows how not a smart motorway should be. And sadly UK have something to learn from the Americans, mainly from Golden Gate Bridge, where they have a barrier that can change position by the help of a special truck, thus changing what lane is open and preventing cars to cross the road.

We shouldnt have a drink/drive limit, it gives people a loop hole to drive thinking there fine when there not, should be a no tolerance, drink and drive, lose your licence and a major fine, caught a 2nd time and its a permanent driving ban and jail time, way to many innocent prople get hurt because punishment isnt harsh enough

No. It gives the people the ability to have a few drinks the night before, or mums beef stroganoff or have even a few apples and not drive in terror next morning. Use your brain.

[@maxshefras2752]

s4 road traffic act prevents this loophole. It makes it an offence to drive a vehicle under the influence of any amount of alcohol in a careless manner. So after one beer you may be under but if you’re driving is careless you’re committing an offence.

Having twice experienced drivers on the wrong side of the road ir going the wrong way it's a frightening experience, in my case one person was going round a roundabout the wrong way and was actually as close to the middle of the roundabout they could get, Elderly couple in the car the male driver had a big grin on his face the female looked horrified, fortunately the toad was very quiet and I didn't hit them, the other time was at night on a dual carriageway when I suddenly realised there was a car reversing towards me at speed with their lights off ! I only saw it with just enough time to go into the other lane, fortunately again quiet time of day but that was really scary I was doing 70, I suspect the reversing car was doing about half that

[@77gravity]

Toll booths? What backwater country is that? We've had electronic tags for decades - you just drive, the tag is detected on the motorway lane, you don't even slow down. Auto top-up from your bank account or credit card. Online statement, which is also your receipt. And the same tag works on all the motorways across the country (as far as I know) (Australia).

If you kill or maim whilst driving drunk, drugged or distracted by texting or otherwise manipulating a phone or similar; then aside of any custodial and financial penalties, you should never be allowed to drive again in this country. Only when the lifetime loss of the perpetrator's driving licence is introduced in legislation and applied by the courts will hard-core offenders and those indifferent to the right to life of other people consider their selfish behaviour because of its effects and affects upon themselves. If you agree with the foregoing paragraph, please copy and paste and share as you see fit, perhaps including your MP. Let's encourage the people we know who do this to think again and the politicians to properly change the law. A driving licence is a privilege to permit the holder get around and / or earn a living - it is not permission to selfishly kill or maim other innocent people with impunity.
