Hmmm. Just watched this program. Anyone else?

Most interesting bit at the end was when one BiB said that that the number of Traffic Police were being reduced and that accidents were on the up. What a good job that we have the speed cameras

Thought it was well over the top from the BiB who pulled the guy in the Focus for being on his mobile, especially as he wasn't on it by the time he caught up with him, and there was no mention of him driving erratically or speeding or anything else...

all this considering the copper had to turn and was doing almost 55 in what looked like a 30 or at best 40 limit to catch up with him...

...fair enuff when it becomes law, but it had obviously been a quiet morning for that guy!

Totaly, agree with this. Did you also see where he pulled him over? It was a very narrow road and the combination of the Volvo and the Focus was cauing a major traffic obstruction. Was it really worth it in this case?

The skanky drugged up bint who ran over some people and drove off made me feel sick. How ironic when she asked the copper if the breath analyser mouthpiece was "clean", when she was obviously not exactly overly concerned with hygene when pushing needles into herself.

The self control of the coppers dealing with the little coloured scrote at the end has to be congratulated. He was begging to get himself a good kicking, think I would willingly have obliged.

To be fair, from what we saw, Junior wasn't doing anything wrong. So it could have been harassment and we have no knowledge of his "previous" so don't know it it was justified or not. He did make me laugh though - how many times can you say no in one second.

But why did they need 5 cars to deal with 2 youths?

To be honest these programs make my blood boil and as such I have stopped watching them.

I really don't find it entertaining to watch these apparent experts travelling at excess speed down built up areas - FOR ANY REASON - never mind a speeding motorist.

They are all hypocricts.

I wonder if it would be possible to make a complaint to the Crown Prosecution Service and use the program as video evidence as to their dangerous driving!

Last weeks one made me laugh.

'We are not saying that all drivers are hardened criminals, more that some hardened criminals drive'

Nice one! I can see how you made Chief Constable now...
