That proves one thing you treat police with respect you get it back them police were very fair credit to them both on .
Being filmed probably helps !
Herman is a genuine guy
I would have turned a blind eye.
If his friend had paid him £10 then maybe that was a business arrangement/trip?
Poor guy, Expensive mistake.
Turning a blind eye is fine until you get hit by that uninsured driver. You'll be pretty hacked off then. Your insurance policy at the next renewal will skyrocket, no claims discount gone.
@@michaelney7006 Everybody else’s insurance also goes up to cover the cost of non insured srivers
Herman's got insurance, had he said that fella paid me to drive surely that would been business, even better had he put some of those bits in the boot.
To be done for no insurance is a big hit.
That'd have been driving for hire or reward, that wouldn't be covered by a traders policy either in all probability.
Long time since I had one.
However, had he been driving the pick up his traders policy would have covered him as taking that for export would be "purposes connected to the motor trade" & would have been covered, & the guy driving the pick-up had cover on the car.
All he had to do was take out a day's insurance on the vehicle, I do this with my brother now and again so we can share the driving on long trips when we go away for sports events.
Those blue and yellow stripes appear and everyone with any sense slows down and starts to do their best driving.
I don't see how that was social, domestic and pleasure. To me, that was business whether he was charging or not.
He admitted to it being a favour
He should have said it was a business venture. Doing a favour doesn't count as business I'm afraid
@@MicksterEll yes, if they got their story straight from the off, and stayed back on the M/way, not tail gating, he would be ok; too naive
Guy knew what exactly what he was doing by not being insured !
Car insurance in the UK seems to be very complicated.
Personally, when my mate phoned, I would have said sorry old mate, I'm going to have to invoice you for this job.. bingo, now fully insured. Simple!
Poor Herman. 😢
Poor herman 6 points on his licence
You dont need to tell them your life story. Keep the chat to a minimum. The less you say, the better 😄
Herman should have said "I will now need to charge my friend £20.00 for this caring service I am providing".
That sir is pinworthy😉 very good
Good to see some wholesome policing.
You don't need a click bait title. Clips good enough
So, if he’s a social career, what is he doing with a traders policy?
I was waiting on the police asking him that 🤔
That's something we have in Quebec: if you drive someone's car for a favor or else, if you have insurances with your own car, whatever the policy is, you are covered. It's called ocasionnal driver. 👍🏻
Absolutely ridiculous that the insurance wouldn't simply cover sdp and business. Mine covers me third party to drive a vehicle that doesn't belong to me for sdp and business, providing there is a policy on it.
Wasn’t ‘purely’ SDP anyway … friend doing a business related thing.
He should have changed his story and said he was driving on a business trip, driving his friend
Could they have checked whether the car owner's insurance would have covered Herman?
I reported a speeding tailgater. I had him on video. The police were not interested. They said he hadn't cut me up-or braked checked me so it wasn't enough to bother with.
Hermann looks like a genuine guy .They should have just warned him of the safety distance instead of fining him. Some of these countries where they come they drive like that. They should be informed of saftey distance keeping. Highways should have warning signs.
We have a 2 second 4 second and 10 second rule depending on weather conditions in the UK if you can’t be bothered to look it up then either stop driving or accept the fines and points that will come your way
Police had every right to stop this balloon
One offence usually leads ro another....illiteracy all round.
Why do people driving illegally go to every effort to draw police attention?
please stop tailgating
Once an African guy starts telling you a story, you know it'll be interesting 🤣
Just bad luck that fella but harsh could of said it was for his business
He had business insurance.but because he was socially using that car he was uninsured.they pulled him for tailgating.but they’re niceness in questioning unknowingly to him was incriminating.a great tactic.fact they were filming they couldn’t let him off.I reckon they would have but couldn’t.total shame.he should’ve said he was buying me a drink for doing it.then it’s business!!jobsworths….
Sad.. he could done over for being too nice
He was nice for a reason and it's pretty obvious to anybody with some smarts. I bet the vehicle he was following had dodgy stuff in it. Hermon played the nice guy and in effect made sure the cops did not decide to check out the other vehicle. You really think his mate did not notice a two blues cop car had pulled him over who was practically up his backside? No way. The other guy saw what happened, shat in his pants and just kept going until he got off the next exit and parked some place safe - then rang Hermon. otice how Hermon mad sure he let his buddy know he was INSIDE the cop car lest he say something. Also the contrived way he went explaining about the insurance. Hermon and his buddy got away with minor traffic compared to whatever they were upto.
He could have been nice & still been covered if he'd been driving the pick-up, taking it to be exported is purposes connected with the motor trade, which a traders policy would cover.
His mate had cover on the car too & could have driven it.
No wahalla! Nice oga.
When I passed my driving test over 50 years ago I worked out the formula for stopping distances. For 60 MPH, it's speed/20 x speed + speed (reaction time) feet so 60/20 = 3 x 60 + 60 feet, so 240 feet, or roughly 80 metres, so that guy was well out.
The stopping distances quoted in the Highway Code are based on a Ford Anglia with non-servo-assisted brakes, they are WAY out these days.
@@brianconnelly7823 "Stopping distance" is both thinking distance + braking distance. The type of car is only one part of it.
Another uninsured driver off the road
Here where I live, tailgating will cost you between 53 and 500 euro plus up to a 3 month driving ban. The Honda at the begining would have gotten a €500 fine and a 3 month driving ban.
If you have business insurance, it covers you for SD&P as well.
If you have SD&P insurance, it doesn't cover you for business.
Hopefully the geezer sorted that out afterwards.
Nice police
He should get the guy he was doing a favour for to pay his fine and get him back to deal with his car
How many of you checked your insurance after watching this.😀
Plenty good well done to the police this guy knew he wasn’t covered and just pulled a fast one . Goodbye walk on 😂😂😂
Why does a professional carer have a motor trader's policy?
Interesting police move to put someone they've pulled over in the back seat of their car, alone, to continue discussions. 😕
I am shocked how much time they spend on hard shoulder. It's not a sage place
You've got to read your small print and if not sure ask, that's why I always speak to a broker rather than just click and take it out online.
At one time, it was just if you had insurance or not, now they delve into your policy to check whether you are actually covered for the nature of your journey. They will have a roadside pull in, checking people going to work, to see if they have commuting as well as social domestic and pleasure on their policy.
Some of the individuals they show on these programmes are absolutely so pissed they can't stand up straight let alone drive or drivers that don't give a toss about insurance or the roadworthiness of their cars despite having their kids in the back, compared to that in this case he made an honest mistake so i genuinely feel quite sorry for this bloke. He looks harmless to enough to me. Its a shame that if he'd said my friends paying me a tenner he'd have got away with it.
should have kept his mouth shut
It will all be 'fined by camera soon', they will only need cops to sweep up the mess.
The car is stolen 😢!
He was that so close he didn’t notice he was missing until the end.
Next time don’t drive so close
OK, Bedroom Lawyers.... if the pick up driver had given Herman ANY recompensation, he would have been covered by his insurance... ?
Nope, that becomes driving for hire or reward, also most unlikely to be covered.
However, if he'd been driving the pick-up, taking it to be exported is "purposes connected with the motor trade" which would be covered on a traders policy, & the guy in the pickup had insurance on the car.
@@beardyface8492 Thanks for the reply. I never picked up on his insurance being 'motor trade' based.
Business use doesnt mean any business you make up as you feel like it
He should have told them he was being payed to follow the other driver, then it would have been business.
Wow, does that mean in the UK the person is insured and not the car?
It’s the person in who has the insurance, vehicles can not enter into contracts, not in the UK nor any other country.
In some countries, Portugal for example, insurance covers the car. Anyone with the owners permission is covered .
Depends. There are so many different insurance policies. Google or get a broker if yiu need a specific policy. Some banks also sell insurance.
Sorry but unless the video was edited the cops failed to discover if owner of vehicle had an any driver policy.
once every say 5 years i may drive another car,for reasons like this,,everey year when i get insurance renewed i make sure i can do that,,ynwa,never had pioints since 1983
He's a accident waiting to happen dreadful driving.
Make me laugh what is the stopping distance. Depends on what you're driving. If you go on the M25 they drive like maniacs but what do you expect from London drivers. We see so much bad car whilst driving hgv and pcv.
People flash because we have a country of self righteous entitled drivers who assume the roll of speed controllers and hog the cetre and outside lane, overtake and pull back in!! It doesn't mean you have a little willy because your not in the fast lane!!! BE AWARE AND DRIVE COURTEOUSLY!!!!!!!
Can I point out here that they have no business asking him what he is doing.
He was pulled over for tailgating.
The rest is a fishing expedition.
Unbelievable
I agree.jobsworths with that one
BUT THEY DO HAVE BUSINESS ASKING HIM, THAT IS THEIR JOB.
Love Michelle.
No good deed goes unpunished...
Cops on the road working well our are always in the doughnut shops
Beemer cops!
He is not doing it for business ?? so what is wrong with his ins ???
Motor trade policies are slippery, especially when it comes to what uses are and aren't allowed for a car you don't own, test drives before / after repairs or because you're considering buying it, collecting & delivering to or from a customer, taking it somewhere to have work done, investigating a fault all covered. Doing someone a favour, just going for a drive, going shopping, not motor trade related uses so not covered.
The car drives close behind to shield the vehicle in front reg plate, gypos do it all the time
The roads and lanes on our motorways are too narrow !
I was always told that regardless of travelling speed, 2 seconds minimum fits the required minimum distance from the vehicle in front.😊😊😊
Fukin disgrace why these cops allow a driver who's not insured to drive a "friends" car to just go ahead and complete his journey. I'll have to watch this again as I cannot believe this.
They didn't allow him to complete his journey. The car was towed and he was dropped off at a bus station.
Any good lawyer would make mincemeat of Herman's insurance: he is NOT driving for social, domestic or pleasure purposes. Agreed he was driving too close, but whilst the police were in the right technically, what a shame that they had to spend time on this ridiculous and harmless episode whilst more dangerous criminals were getting away with things that really do damage.
You might think differently if he, or someone else not covered by their insurance, collided with you.
@@ditch3827 No I wouldn't. Driving without insurance is a serious issue and I think people who deliberately and knowingly do so should face heavy penalties and be banned for years. But I was referring to this specific event with its obvious mitigating circumstances, and the fact that a lawyer could make a good case that his insurance WAS valid.
@@jonb4020 The insurance company confirmed that he was not insured so regardless of what any lawyer may or may not say, if he had an accident they would not pay out and as such you could be faced with huge medical bills.
Being a nice bloke is no mitigation for driving dangerously and without valid insurance.
@@ditch3827 Of course not, I agree. But my point was not that. And insurance companies have been challenged in court for precisely this kind of thing, and have sometimes lost.
@@jonb4020 But that is AFTER the event and the result uncertain.
Surely one should ensure that one is adequately insured BEFORE driving someone else's vehicle. It would have only taken a phone call and having discovered that you were not covered then the owner of the vehicle could have put you on their insurance and all would have been well in the event of an accident.
Never ever talk to the police, look where it got him.
You have a heart whil on tv dont trust the police
Mug coppers
8:08 Like I said, it's all about cash cows and getting as much money into insurers pockets. There, I've corrected it for you
More plod propaganda,yuk!
Motorist are easy money you also don't have to leave your car which the police are aware you can't trust a corrupt party West Yorkshire police
African Driver bring his own values from his original country, to the UK. Dear God, he shouldn't be allowed on the road.
Why do these people believe that the Police will not catch them.
Well said 👏
When someone complains about "those people," I immediately recognize a racist.
@@devildoll9929 And when somebody Generalises without a Grain of Evidence, I Recognise a Woke Armchair Warrior. I lived and worked more than half my life in Africa.
I also have some long standing African friends. I don't posess a Recist bone in my body.
@@Rabmac1UK Hey, I can lie on the internet about living and working in Africa just as easily as you have done. Hey, I LIVED ALL MY LIFE IN AFRICA, HAVE AFRICAN CHILDREN AND AN AFRICAN DOG AND AM THE GODSON OF NELSON MANDELA. See how easy it is to lie on the internet?
Whenever a person defends themselves by claiming that, "Some of my best friends are Black," I immediately recognize a racist.
I'm not sure what "woke" means. Maybe you can explain.
I do know that 'racist" is spelled "r-a-c-i-s-t," not "recist.
@@devildoll9929 So, I don't type perfectly, thats a Victory for you. I used to work for Barlow Rand, based in Johannesburg betweens 1982 and 1987, and was the IT Manager for various divisions of that Company. I was friends with the Black Guys who happened to work in the Post Room, during the time Winnie Mandela announced what would happen to Black Peoople who went to work. No Work = No Pay, so I used my company car to ferry (smuggle) them into work and back to the Rail station after work. Winnie and her 'Football Team' were placing Tyres over the heads and arms of workers, filling the tyres with petrol, and setting the poor guys on fire from the shouldes up. They were called 'Necklaces' and I saw many of them burn. Many. My boss told me not to use my company car to transport the guys, so we met up aroud the corner, and I did it for Months. I don't give a damn what you think, I saw the Horror of men being burnt to death just to support their Families. Keyboard Hero, you were not there, and did not see. That's your Lot mate, I will explain no more you pathetic Wimp. Have you actually ever Lived ? NO, now Foxtrot Oscar little boy
So what happened next then?
This is a public relations film
You don't have to get out of your car or go and sit in the police çar. (You might catch swine flu )😅😅😅
Surly towing a vehicle with a rope or other device is clearly an accident waiting to happen and shouldn't be allowed on motorways. The vehicle being towed would have limited brakes without hydraulic assistance, which is run by the engine. If the vehicle towing had to stop, the towed vehicle would not! Brake assisted trailers and caravans and flat beds only would make great common sense.
🙄🫡
It's not usually as dire as you might think with a towing pole, most cars the brakes work reasonably even with the servo vacuum exhausted you just have to push the pedal significantly harder & the pole also contributes often enough to not use the car's brakes if you drive carefully, I wouldn't use a rope on a motorway since on a rope you'd want to be using speeds that would be hazardously slow for that type of road.
Even the AA & RAC have been known to use a simple rigid pole with a socket for their tow ball & a suitable connection to the vehicle's towing eye if it happens to have one.
