The Motorway Cops: Catching Britain's Speeders: Season 6, Episode 7

6 - 7: Episode 7

In Gateshead a child has been knocked off his bike by a car outside a school. Sergeant Dave Roberts picks up the call and races to the scene. The boy is complaining of hip pain but the wait time for an ambulance is three hours. Police medics assess the boy, and they are worried about the level of his injuries. Time is against Dave as he tries to look after the child and get to the bottom of how the accident occurred.

PC Mary-Ann Hutchison is patrolling near Sunderland when she receives a call from the police chopper – officers above have witnessed a man being assaulted and his assailants speeding away in a car. Guided by the helicopter, more units race to the scene and stop the car. The two occupants aren't being very co-operative, leaving Mary-Ann and the other officers with a tough job trying to work out what's actually happened.

It's late at night and Martain spots a driver in a hurry in Sunderland. Martain pulls him over and alerts the man to his manner of driving. It turns out to be an emergency – a family member has been craving mozzarella dippers and so he gallantly nipped out and was determined to get the fast food back fast. Cheese lover Martain understands, but it's still no excuse for potentially getting points on your licence.
