Motorway Cops: Catching Britain’s Speeders returns for its eighth season this Monday, July 7, at 8 PM on Channel 5. The season opener puts viewers in the passenger seat with Humberside Police’s Roads Policing Unit as they patrol the East Riding of Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire, tackling dangerous drivers head-on.
Narrated by Nicky Campbell, the premiere episode kicks off with raw dashcam footage that captures some of the most alarming driving incidents from across the UK. The focus is on real-time police work, with officers like Matt Tuton and Liam Redmond pursuing a suspected burglar on the M180 near Scunthorpe after their car triggers an ANPR camera.
Further south, PC Adam Barley watches a main route in Hull, catching a driver speeding at 59 mph in a 40 mph zone. The driver claims to be late for a hospital appointment, but lacks insurance. PC Moff McEwan also goes after a suspected cloned car in Hull, connected to a recent burglary, only to find the driver is banned from the roads.
