THUNDERSTORMS & FLASH FLOODING in Stafford! - VEHICLE RECOVERY UK

Go get a Mechanical INSPECTION of your Gearbox done by a CERTIFIED Transmission Specialist, and SEND the Inspection Bill to the Police, as you Checking to make SURE your truck has NOT been damaged by the Police's 'Incompetence' 18:05 by possibly causing DAMAGE to your Tow Truck!

Thank you i will look into this. GDB

[@ryanhiggs3370]

How you keep so calm is amazing I’ll give you that

[@pow1983]

Wow that is a %$£%$£ of a police officer!

[@imagseer]

Yeah, but you still need to make them or their Highway mates turn on a Red X to get out of a smart motorway "safety" bay, That really ought to get to Parliament.

[@ricksNZ]

Thank, Greg, I'm sure the Volvo driver was well served by your involvement. Their scary situation turned into a bit of adventure. 🙂

Thanks and welcome! GDB

[@CurtainFlapper]

Should not of turned off the vehicle, say there's no initial damage showing as its started but 100 miles further the gearbox breaks who will be to blame. Needs a full check on gearbox and power take off, and the police pay for the inspection.

[@johnp6636]

Can’t wait for the next part and the police wonder why NOBODY has any respect for them that officer was rude

[@christopherhand1092]

I’m so glad I came across ur channel probably around a year ago now, showing the true reality of highways and police and not the side channel 5 shows, I really hope ur voice is heard and changes are made to highways and the “smart” motorways, keep up the good work Greg. P.S that’s hope you don’t get another letter from the police from next video 😂

[@Murph9000]

Just a little advice about the lifejacket. Either use the straps or don't wear it. It's more dangerous to wear it without the strap in that water, as it can push up over your head if you fall over, restricting your arms in the process. Without it, in shallow water that's not moving, all you need to do is sit up and your safe, even with flooded waders. In deep water, people drown wearing lifejackets without doing up the straps.

[@scotty281976]

And they wonder why we have no respect for them 18:53

[@nicholasroberts6954]

Looks whoever decided to build the Shell station there, did their homework/ did the appropriate flood mitigation measures. Car recovery today must be like being a plasterer in the late 1980s . . . "Loads-of-money". And no numpty from the station thought of going out with a cone/ warning triangle. Marvellous. Proof positive that having the brains of rocking horses is mandatory in the UK

[@1981chrisjones]

We so need an update on this. Eagerly awaiting your next video :)

[@barryabell5410]

That copper is the reason why the public are losing/lost respect for the police what an arsehole 😳🤬🤬

[@SuperHarbl]

Heh. I used to live just round the corner from there. There is a brook running through a culvert with a trash screen that gets routinely neglected, and this bit of Sandon Road floods. Have paddled a fridge around this spot before now.

[@Arthur-Woolley]

5:47 You put a life jacket on to go in that puddle? What a helmet😂

[@craig79819]

im not one for verbal police bashing, but jesus christ! He was billy big bollocks wasn't he! What an absolute clown. I'll look forward to that video. I really hope it does go viral - he absolutely needs retraining in conflict resolution as a bare minimum.

[@Dalesmanable]

That’s Sandon Road. I used to cycle down it several times a week some 50 years ago. Doesn’t seem to have changed much but I don’t remember it flooding that badly.

[@cashtimevideo1501]

If it's not Highways giving you grief Greg, it's Police! Or both! 🤬

[@jasonoliver9549]

One of the reasons why we are losing all respect for the police.. grr

[@geko7844]

It’s no excuse, but considering most of these cars are nicked by organised crime groups who wouldn’t hesitate to use weapons to defend their ‘trade’, you can understand why police might be a bit touchy. They don’t know Greg and whilst in the context of the video we know he’s legit, I can understand they don’t want to take that chance.

[@evelghostrider]

So that gives them the rite to treat all people as guilty of a crime before anything else. And to talk down to people ?? You give reapect to people, you dont earn it, otherwise life would be ugly... Just like not all police are A holes, not all civilian people are criminals... Police is a difficult job, it does not give them the rite to bark orders to people, and if you cant hack the police life... get a different job... ​@geko7844

[@nickbrown4196]

​@@geko7844 But he has just loaded a vehicle from his truck into the lorry (from what I gather) so hasn't got anything stolen on there. They watch him turn it off (or even better get the fat copper to climb in and do the turning off, with Greg advising him) and it's all good. Now they run the risk of new gearbox and compo for Greg while his truck is off the road.

[@geko7844]

@@nickbrown4196 I think the point is, the car is nicked or at least the police think it might be. My first question is why is it being put in the back of a box lorry? That’s seems odd. We’ll know more when the full video comes out but sounds like GDBs picked up a car from a car park and loaded it into the back of a lorry. Perhaps the police got a call saying someone was nicking a car, or they know the reg is cloned/stolen. Either way, I can see how it’d look dodgy. They definitely could have been a bit more reasonable, not doubting that, but just pointing out that have a bit of sympathy for them doing their job 👍

[@imagseer]

@@geko7844 They came down heavy on me years ago transferring perishable goods to customer's van in a Cardiff hotel car park. Eventually they allowed me to show them the pre-printed order and the invoice. At least they were watching for crime. But I think you just have to regard them like an annoying downpour ... no amount of moaning makes it stop.

What ridiculous behaviour from the Police at the end there. A bit of care and consideration to think on what you are doing rather than storm in to make fool of yourself would create a much better impression of how Policing is done.

[@davemason2604]

is part of the police training to have an attitude...They tell people to talk to them with respect so why cant they do the same...In my opinion some police think they can do whateer they want as soon as they put the uniform on and think they are always right even when wrong

[@g__o__l__d__6673]

reggers never gives up lol

[@davemason2604]

have watched a few videos of this flood....why cant the local council do something. Also where are the police to block the road?

[@rsv8935]

Exactly both the council, & the police need to do something!

[@evelghostrider]

This shows when many put on a uniform, they feel they can treat others just as they wish.. that officer has issues. If he finds his job to stressful, try another line of work.. That guy genuinely seems to have a superman complex about him... I would have left vehicle in for strip down and cehck and then claimed that of the officer involved and his employer.. this way he thinks twice before doing it again... Ive made huge sums of money from similar things done by police and won every single court case... Especially when they pulled apart my electrics trying to switch of a car with a turbo timer on it... and a remote start unit also... 37k in damages awarded half of which is still coming out of the officers wages ... not a happy boy in court that day.... Its nice when you can step outaide court, lean into them and say... whos a silly little d head now buddy ???

[@christopherhand1092]

Agreed and this is why many more members of public are starting loose respect to police who had respect to them before, to many of them now think that just because they are the police they can speak how they want as shown in the Manchester airport incident, they even have started pulling learners over for no reason and have no patience with them even tho they haven’t been pulled before

[@stevoone342]

The attitude of that so called police officer is shocking, especially you wear clearly compliant. I’d report that officer. Nothing proberly will be done. And as mentioned before they wonder why there not respected any more.

Maybe a STUPID idea but what about CLOSING the bloody road!!!! As stated in a previous video there is a detour around the back and onto the road further along!

[@christopherhand1092]

Greg doesn’t have the authority to do that but the council don’t have a big enough brain to think of that idea

[@Mrreal1871]

Im genuinely asking how will this damage your pto? I have turned the engine off loads of times with it engaged on mine. And all is fine. The only thing I know that damages it is driving with it on and trying to engage it without the clutch pushed in.

Nice flood recovery, . I know using talk about being in the right place at the right time. I would be making a formal complaint about that copper, what a crappy attitude and did he have any legitimate right to enter your vehicle without your express consent? I kmoe p.a.c. gives them certain authority to enter premises but just to switch your engine of when you expressed a need to disengage the pto in a polite manner. Quite honestly he is one of the reasons that people are not overly fond of them. The first thing that comes in to my mind is an anagram of Newark.
