Absolute respect to the two police in the first video, with the repeat drink driver. Professional, courteous, but compassionate. A major change from too many others trying to come across as professional hard men. If only the police had more like them.
34:51 woah, that gave me CHILLS when they said the 2-year-old was placed in the front seat only cuz they had a bunch of stuff in the back seats… THE SAME BACK SEATS that were OBLITERATED ! Definitely had some angels hanging out around them 🩵 I also feel for the operator who heard the man saying he’s afraid of a crash, just before the crash, screaming, crying then nothing = heart wrenching.
Very glad Mr Towu and his daughter survived that awful crash. Did he say at 36:26 that a warning light came on so he stopped where he was in the motorway lane and put his hazards on?? Warning lights do not mean you have to stop immediately, even if it was the oil light. Unless his engine had seized maybe he could have moved to the hard shoulder.
He also made an earlier reference to stopping when he saw the light. No attempt is evident that he tried to cross to the hard shoulder. Looks like he just stopped.
No, he said when the light came on he put on his hazards and couldn't possibly have made it safely to the hard shoulder. Even the police said it was not possible for this driver to find the hard shoulder and was left with no choice
If you're given a driving ban due to drink or drug then to be able to get a licence again you should have to do extensive medical tests at your own expense prior to being allowed to re-apply.
I think all drink drivers should be given a mandatory prison sentence starting from 2 weeks upto several months, depending on the amount of alcohol over the limit.
If I recall correctly, he got a 6 month sentence, but it was suspended for 18 months - he wouldn’t go inside unless he failed to attend a mandatory alcohol rehabilitation program.
@@peteconrad2077he is sick due to addiction but he is an idiot for getting in a car drunk. He didn’t even have a licence so that also means no insurance. These are idiotic things understated by a sick man.

More of an example of how dangerous dumb drivers are. In 40 years of driving I've experienced break downs and punctures on the motorway and have always managed to either pull onto the hard shoulder, safety zone or at least pull as far off the lane as I could. As soon as you sense your car has a problem you get into lane 1 ready to pull off, you don't carry on driving in lane 2 waiting for the car to breakdown.
@@benjaminjacobsen7150nevertheless smart motorways are dangerous. I had a catastrophic failure where my exhaust rear section became unsecured and locked my rear tyre at 70. Got to the slow lane and sat in the embankment watching numerous vehicles narrowly avoid hitting mine. They’re a menace.
Whoever does the editing on these needs to consider the voice over - I can assure you, Leeds is not 7 miles away from the M6 Toll Plaza just north of Birmingham...
Anyone found guilty of drink driving should never be allowed a license again. Driving is a privilege, not a right. A vehicle in the wrong hands is a lethal weapon
@jxmmax6097 that’s for showing you have no sense of proportion or made either. I agree that someone mastered out of their mind should be permanently banned. But to say the same should apply to someone who is a few points over the morning after is absurd.
We shouldnt have a drink/drive limit, it gives people a loop hole to drive thinking there fine when there not, should be a no tolerance, drink and drive, lose your licence and a major fine, caught a 2nd time and its a permanent driving ban and jail time, way to many innocent prople get hurt because punishment isnt harsh enough
No. It gives the people the ability to have a few drinks the night before, or mums beef stroganoff or have even a few apples and not drive in terror next morning. Use your brain.
s4 road traffic act prevents this loophole. It makes it an offence to drive a vehicle under the influence of any amount of alcohol in a careless manner. So after one beer you may be under but if you’re driving is careless you’re committing an offence.
I’ve dealt first hand with breakdowns on motorways people see warning lights on dashboard and just stop no matter where they are don’t Think about rolling to safety
@@svetoslavtodorov2427 personnaly i dont get behind the wheel even after a sip, drives missus crazy but hey, at least if i ever have an accident it will be either mechanical failure or someone being stupid (not excluding myself)

@@markdavis4754it was by the driver when he gave his account at the end of the segment. I really hope that it was editing that did him dirty (eg a warning light came on the dashboard… and then the engine died) because if not, the idiocy is frightening.
Smart motorway works, when done correctly. The Video shows how not a smart motorway should be. And sadly UK have something to learn from the Americans, mainly from Golden Gate Bridge, where they have a barrier that can change position by the help of a special truck, thus changing what lane is open and preventing cars to cross the road.
With that lorry fire the police should at least tell one of the lorry drivers stuck and to pass it on, that they should put it on break if they need to, I hated being stuck and running out of driving time
If you kill or maim whilst driving drunk, drugged or distracted by texting or otherwise manipulating a phone or similar; then aside of any custodial and financial penalties, you should never be allowed to drive again in this country. Only when the lifetime loss of the perpetrator's driving licence is introduced in legislation and applied by the courts will hard-core offenders and those indifferent to the right to life of other people consider their selfish behaviour because of its effects and affects upon themselves.
If you agree with the foregoing paragraph, please copy and paste and share as you see fit, perhaps including your MP. Let's encourage the people we know who do this to think again and the politicians to properly change the law. A driving licence is a privilege to permit the holder get around and / or earn a living - it is not permission to selfishly kill or maim other innocent people with impunity.
Thank you mr capital using pedant. Splint used BMW chassis from the BMW production line so it’s not unreasonable to refer to them as BMW if you’re a normal person.
How is the lady saying “caller caller are you their” dumb women the guy and his daughter has just been seriously hit 🤦🏽♂️ instead send the emergency services ASAP. Bro hearing the child scream has gave me chills man hope their both okay 🙏🏼
in 2020 whilst in the town of four marks,hampshire the police see me removing a 4-5 foot object from the main road in front of my vehicle as i go back to my vehicle(thats parked in the road with its hazard lights on)there's as i just mentioned a police car parked directly behind me from that point on i knew i was'nt going to be treated fairly i'm then followed for another 2 miles or so by this time i was half way through the village of chawton before the blue lights are activated and i'm stopped though what for is beyond me as i had'nt committed any offence i'm then practically accused of wrong-doing i was also told by an officer that by law they could'nt have stopped me sooner.i'm then told i'm going to be breathalysed having brought the breathalyser over to me the officer tells me that the device is faulty and does'nt work and that another breathalyser will have to be brought out to the scene by this point my patience is beginning to fray a few minutes later a police vehicle with a new device arrives at the scene and i'm breathalysed when i had'nt been drinking it was negative i then get back in my vehicle an leave the scene in a fury making my feelings known to the three officers present even now 5 years after it happened i'd like to know how it was------- ever lawful for the police to do this to me-----------because i' don't see how....apparently from a legal postion i've discovered that after being told by the police officer that the breathalyser was faulty/did'nt work i would not have been committing any offence----by leaving the scene either by walking away or getting back in my vehicle and driving off----so it appears that the law was on my side............
If your car breaks down, get out and get across to the hard shoulder.... Yeah, good advice except the absolutely useless powers that be had them all converted to 'smart motorways'...
Why woud pc jess feel sorry the female killing her mother in th mini she killed her mother by driving dangerously so the female deserves to have to deal with the grief of losing her mother and she shoud be in prison for killing her and be charged over 2000 quid
Good god, that crash with Caston and his 2 year old daughter, it's amazing they both came out alive.....so so important that if your car starts to feel strange, or wrong to go into the 1st lane incase you do break down; however I can imagine that he had no warning, no one in their right mind would just stop in the central lane.
Hey Siobhan 👋 As a British person myself, I can confirm that 'dinner time' means dinner or the final meal of the day. in the North of England, people sometimes call their lunch 'dinner time' and their dinner 'tea time', but everyone else calls it lunch and dinner. Hope that helps!
@@OMG_stories Yes, thanks for that. It does help a little, but from what you said, people could still call lunch dinner. All good. I've been to England 4 times and love it. We don't have a lot of differences, but I guess some expressions will have to remain on the list. Us Aussies have our quirks too lol.
@@john1703 LOL how confusing. To me dinner means an evening meal (and I'm not posh). I guess next time I'm in the UK I'll just have to explain the time of day I'm referring to 😶
Alcoholics are drug addicts. The world would be s better place without booze and other so-called recreational drugs. We need to start by answering the question why do people START taking drugs and what turns a recreational drinker into an alcoholic? Medical profession, can you help?
Drugs yes , alcohol certainly a no from me. I love my pint and I do 1500-2000 miles a month. That doesn't mean I mix the two. I just have a pint or two when I'm not going anywhere...
I know this is old... but if that police woman said she has run out of patience for those who didn't have their seat belt on... means it time she gave up being a cop. A cop is not the judge jury and executioner... they are out there to help people in time of need, and that includes people who made bad and silly mistakes.
I know what you're saying, but people could be saved before anything by wearing a seatbelt. It is an incredibly easy step which prevents so much damage if the worse is to happen!
Guess you’ve never been to fatalities time and time again where the victim was not wearing a seat belt. Also police are not social workers, they are there to uphold the law. So telling people to wear seatbelts and fining them if not, that’s their job.
no sympathy for a drunk driver no matter how much they pretend to cry and apologise i was hit head on by a drunk driver 40 years ago and for the last 40 years i have been disabled and unable to work hey got a fine and a 2 year driving ban and whent on with his life... so drink drivers should be banned for LIFE from driving.
