“Motorway Cops: Catching Britain’s Speeders” is back. Season 7 premieres this Monday, featuring another dose of high-speed pursuits, roadside confrontations, and the kind of jaw-dropping dashcam footage that makes you glad you’re not behind the wheel of those cars.
This season, ride along with Northumbria Police as they patrol the motorways, dealing with everything from reckless drivers to suspected criminals. In the premiere episode, Sergeant Dave Roberts engages in a tense car chase through Newcastle after a driver refuses to stop, resulting in a dramatic crash. The female occupants of the wrecked vehicle then attempt to flee the scene, adding another level of drama to the pursuit.
Elsewhere, PC Jamie Leslie pulls over a driver in Newcastle who claims her cold will invalidate a roadside breath test. And in Sunderland, PC Martin Anderson hunts down a transit van suspected of involvement in diesel thefts. When confronted, the driver lights up a cigarette, an act of defiance that adds a touch of absurdity to an already tense situation.
With dashcam footage contributing to a staggering 25,000 convictions annually in Britain, the “Motorway Cops” cameras capture it all. Tune in to 5 this Monday, April 7th at 8:00 PM for more high-octane action.
