Motorway Cops Monday 21:00 on BBC One
Discussion
Just a heads up Motorway Cops is back on tonight!
The Motorway Cops catch up with the drivers who try to cheat the system, taking chances even though that may mean putting other people's lives at risk - and they find that the drivers who do this are often those they come across time and time again.
On the M6 the Motorway Cops are cracking down on 'white van man' in a joint operation with VOSA (the Vehicle Standards Agency). More than two million white vans are on the roads but many are untaxed, untested and not roadworthy. But it's what they find inside the van that interests the cops including six hundred bottles of vodka. The van driver has bought them on the cheap, intent on reselling them and making a quick buck, but his hopes are dashed as the cops find out that the vodka may well be illicit and they have to decide what to do with it all.
In the city PC's Alan Colman and Jess Rojek come across a familiar face; someone PC Colman caught behind the wheel of a stolen van in the last series of Motorway Cops. This time he's caught red handed, driving whilst disqualified, but even though PC Colman knows exactly who he is, the man refuses to admit anything.
PCs Kevin Whitehouse and Jerry Hadley attend a crash where a woman has had a lucky escape cornering too fast and ripping a wheel from her car. As they arrive they find out that drink may be the cause, and discover that the woman is a qualified nurse, someone who should be acutely aware of the dangers of drink driving.

Pulled over twice and been on TV both times?
What an utter pratt.
I was surprised he wasn't done for peverting the course of justice - basically laughing in the coppers face and allowed to do it - give them 2 chances to tell the truth - after that then a harsh line should be taken. Totally sets the wrong example IMO.What an utter pratt.
They should start jailing people for multiple motoring offences, its a joke.

Pssst...anyone want to buy some Vodka?
Who said that? Arrgghh!
I've gone blind: knew I shouldn't have had a night on that 'cloudy' Vodka....
Seriously though, that stuff looked beyond rank. Who the hell would drink that piss? Still, one step up from meths, I suppose.

Probably ends up in dodgy pubs and clubs for replenishing branded bottles.

I would imagine processing said perp for a motoring offence, which is a speedy side of the road job vs a the criminal offence of witholding id (or whatever it's caused) involves a great deal of paperwork. Hence why they seem to make a real effort to get the info, saves them some work.They should start jailing people for multiple motoring offences, its a joke.
