I think it would be maddening. But if they got away because the pursuit was called off of they realized the risk was too great, thst would be different.
Best thing about being from the area is that you can relate to all of these stories as Ben tells them in such detail. If only I’d looked outside my window and seen a John Deere gator come cruising by in a not so hot pursuit 😂
I can just imagine cctv operators, ACR and everyone on the same airwave channel had a good laugh at this Ben. It's a bsrd when someone makes off and manages to out wit you, but as we all say in the job, they'll come again, and they always do ❤️ Got to give it to them, they certainly thought outside the box, on something as slow as one pmsl 😂😂😂 xx
@@markmarkie1950 I'm 99% sure they were. Was all over the local papers at the time. This was in the mid 90's though so most still had a sense of humour as they were just trying to get home. I think the local dairy said something like "No real harm done" so they possibly needed up there doing a couple of shifts
Absolutely loving your channel Ben, you're a great orator and above all a good soul. I drive an M140i but not that M140i. All the very best from Morpeth Northumberland my friend.
Poor ol' Mrs Miggins .... sound like she could be in the running for a good slice of compo. Great vid and the references to the areas you worked REALLY HITS HOME. As always a big THANK YOU.
Hi Ben, thanks for the latest tale! Don't be so hard on yourself, the car that got away? As long as you and Christine are bobbing along nicely! Keep safe 💕
Another great video Ben. The golf cart story was brilliant and very funny but i can imagine how frustrating it must be for you and colleagues when the drivers in the fast cars get away.
Thanks Ben. Its like you've lived more than the rest if us because of your career. Just glad you're safe and made the tough decision to retire for you. The golf car you described is called a gator in the US.
Closest thing would be to contact the IAM(Institute of Advanced Motorists) they might be able to hook you up with a local group and take it from there.
@@daleohara95 The book Roadcraft, if it's still avaliable used to be in the driving section/highway code at WH Smiths. In fairness it's just paying attention to how you're driving and focusing on what you're doing. ANYHOW all the best ....just think of Mrs Miggins.
Always going to be ones that get away we aren't perfect! Good on you, you probably saved a few lives those days - whether it be an innocent life, the criminal or yourself. Not worth it, let then get away
Ben, do any of your pals drive like a learner doing their test when you're in the car with them? My grandfather used to be a traffic officer back in the 70s. I felt almost intimidated by how skilled he was in his prime. Drove like I was about to lose my license every time I gave him a lift.
Brilliant vid Ben keep up the great work. I bet it's the worse feeling in the world having someone slipping through your fingers. Anyway brilliant story Ben. 💪👍🇬🇧
I drive a 1.6 diesel Focus - its not the quickest thing, but its so easy to keep up with people in "fast" cars because they're so bad at navigating a roundabout or a bend... But of course I always drive with due care and attention, officer!
Great to hear from you Ben and very honest. I wholeheartedly agree on the Straight line comment, there's a certain type of vehicle which flatters an idiots driving skills and you hit the nail on the head. As I said in a previous msg, the Government should pass a law that orders fast car manufacturers to make examples of their cars available to police forces, so you have an even playing field. Be careful, Best wishes, Ben 🚌🚍🏎️🏎️😇👍🇬🇧
To get away you have to drive really dangerous to get the pursuit called off and do what the police cant. It's not that there better drivers than police just willing to take more risks
Ben you should do something where you charge little ricers to have you chase them in a controlled environment, could be a fun scenario for all involved and could give you a buzz if you miss it🤷🏼♂️👊🏼
Just my own point of view, you might catch hell from the other officers but you get to go home. When I was taken down, no bail, my money disappeared, and I wound up with a 5 to 10, and 7 plus 3 to run overlapping. With plenty of time to think about how I might have gotten away, or killed. Keep up the great stories Ben.
@@mozzjones6943 Not my point. After taken full responsibility for my actions and looking at all the damage it's done to everyone around me, a choice has to be made. Blame anything and everyone, or look for a new course to take into the future. Having to carry a weapon into the showers shows how quickly any thought of sympathy in life is something for a tv show. Bragging and stating facts seem to be the source of confusion and I'll let you sort that out.
@@susananderson1071 A 'cake fine' is where a police officer buys cakes for the rest of his/her shift after screwing something up. For example accidentally discharging your PAVA spray in the briefing room. There would be a kangaroo court with the rest of your colleagues and they will decide whether it is a 'fineable' offence. You would then have to buy cakes for the rest of the shift.
A video on how trained traffic car drivers differ from normal panda cars would be good, like shuffling the hands, commentary etc I would imagine it's more tiring. And any laughs you get with new members to the team.
To be fair to Ben though I'd of probably lost that cart due to laughter. Giving it the biggun like they are in an rs5 but in reality it's a cart... ye I'd of lost them too haha
Someone doing something wrongs need to get away will always be greater than your need to catch them. You have to consider every consequence of you actions the criminal on the other hand only has one goal to get away at any cost. It’s got nothing to do with better cars plans or equipment or training. It all comes down to who has the greatest needs even though it’s stacked in the police’s favour sometimes the criminals needs surpass all that.
I saw this pursuit with the red audi I got to the end of keighley road at the bottom at the big roundabout was just about to pull there all chaos broke out to my right

I’ve just got your book on my kindle, only a few pages through but enjoying it! 👍
U cant drive I got away in a micra
Just imagine, there’s a possibility someone is watching this and thinking ‘’.......that was me!’’
Then admits it on hear 😂😂
It was me lad was a good chase like lol
Was me in the stolen rs4
That golf buggy chase sounds like a great time :D
Should have an electric scooter in the boot for that shit 😂😂😂
Without a doubt one of the best coppers to grace Britain
I can imagine the feeling of when someone gets away it must be really heartbreaking
I think it would be maddening. But if they got away because the pursuit was called off of they realized the risk was too great, thst would be different.
@@susananderson1071 I completely agree but when you are actively pursuing someone and they make a turn an disappear must really kill your mood
Feels good when you get away
Best thing about being from the area is that you can relate to all of these stories as Ben tells them in such detail. If only I’d looked outside my window and seen a John Deere gator come cruising by in a not so hot pursuit 😂
I love it when you actually give the road names, so we can go on google earth and get a better idea of what you’re talking about 👍🏻
And know the ins and outs ay 😂 fair play lad
What really !!! You are taking it to seriously

Ive been waiting for “the ones that got away” they hardly ever show you on tv, but i bet it happens everyday
As someone going through the police application process just now, this channel really is an eye opener! Hoping to join the traffic after my probation.
From someone who was on the wrong side of the law in my younger days, good luck with the process.
Couple lads in my home town got into a ridiculously long police chase when they stole a milk float

Were they charged for it?!!

You gonna be a bobby in West Yorkshire?
The golf cart is hilarious. A Fail to Stop is a Fail to Stop, regardless of speed ha!
I'm from Bradford area and hearing the road names etc really brings it close to home, keep up the great vids 👍
Love your videos 😊 always watched you on police interceptors. Keep them coming, take care
Hi Ben please can you do a video on the most violent criminal you’ve ever had to deal with obviously not telling his name due to data protection.
Absolutely loving your channel Ben, you're a great orator and above all a good soul. I drive an M140i but not that M140i. All the very best from Morpeth Northumberland my friend.
You were mint on police interceptors loved the programme 👌
That sounds really harrowing when you’re dealing with a sociopath that doesn’t care about who they hurt in their way.
Poor ol' Mrs Miggins .... sound like she could be in the running for a good slice of compo. Great vid and the references to the areas you worked REALLY HITS HOME. As always a big THANK YOU.

Another great video Ben. The golf cart story was brilliant and very funny but i can imagine how frustrating it must be for you and colleagues when the drivers in the fast cars get away.
Yet another great video. Cheers Ben. Got to feel for poor old Mrs Miggins though, she always seems to be in the thick of it.
You're just great mate
I am very impressed with your attitude
I love the sound effects and facial expressions Ben does while telling his stories.
Brilliant stories, as always. Keep ‘em coming 👍
Thanks Ben. Its like you've lived more than the rest if us because of your career.
Just glad you're safe and made the tough decision to retire for you. The golf car you described is called a gator in the US.
Love the "they're want a lot" at the beginning 😂 x
Thank you for the great vid
Love these stories ! Keep em coming. 👍
Again. Love the video mate
If more police were as cool and as nice as Ben, more criminals would just hand themselves in 😂
That lad who pulled the moony is watching this pissing himself, like thats me 😂
Humble and funny as always. This guy puts some humanity into policing 🙌
Great as always stay strong and well
Another great video mate, love it
Keep going mate.love the videos.
Another great video ben
Would love to learn to drive like you guys, more out of pure interest and curiosity than anything else. Really enjoying all the content mate! 👍

Great video ben.
This was good!
As you're describing the Golf Caddy story I can hear a Benny Hill theme played
I live just off Dockfield, you could have borrowed my bike for the pursuit!
Man you really have it in for RS3 drivers hahaha
That mrs miggins gets about Ben 🤣
Jump on back of golf cart give em a slap and throw em off 😂😂 bet Ben was an absolute legend to work with hahaha

Love the golf buggy pursuit 😂
Love your stories made me laugh the golf buggy i bet it ended in canal lol . Keep the videos coming your commentary is great x

What a suprise, a new video, thanks guys, again a good one, next time another "reacting on myself"video, Ben? With baby Ben ?
To get away you have to drive really dangerous to get the pursuit called off and do what the police cant. It's not that there better drivers than police just willing to take more risks
Basically yes
Mrs Miggins certainly gets about :-)
Well said, who in their right mind would damage a 50k car to catch a 1k golfing buggy, it's not even worth contemplating.
Golf Cart story.... lol
Well done for admitting it!
I remember on Police interceptors they never really used to show the ones that got away
Ben you should do something where you charge little ricers to have you chase them in a controlled environment, could be a fun scenario for all involved and could give you a buzz if you miss it🤷🏼♂️👊🏼
They do this kind of event at Oulton Park race track buddy

Ben, was the golf cart being drive by "Benny Hill" the fastest milkman in the West lol
hahahha the 12mph golf kart is hilarious lol
Getting the run around of a Kubota🤣
Hi Ben, I learnt about so called "cake fines" in relation to police culture a while go; are they a real thing? Is it prevalent across various forces?
What is that?
Yes, 'cake fines' are a real thing and they are VERY prevalent lol.
@@susananderson1071 A 'cake fine' is where a police officer buys cakes for the rest of his/her shift after screwing something up.

I like Ben proper Yorkshire man
Did the golf buggy get charged after it got away ?!!
Hi Big Ben Great video have our worked with The SEG ? And if so could you do a presentation on that ? 👍🏻

"They're weren't alot". OK Jay.
Mrs Miggins sounds like an O.G!
If you had that Mini JCW then you could of got around the golf Kart 😂😂😂
"Mrs Miggins & The Shitbag." Hahaha! You could write Cop kids bedtime stories dude.😆
To be fair to Ben though I'd of probably lost that cart due to laughter. Giving it the biggun like they are in an rs5 but in reality it's a cart... ye I'd of lost them too haha
I always wondered what the police thought of people they chased, did they ever think some were just better drivers. My question was answered.
You look well hope your okay ✅💙
I love the criminals getting away it’s satisfying
Someone doing something wrongs need to get away will always be greater than your need to catch them. You have to consider every consequence of you actions the criminal on the other hand only has one goal to get away at any cost. It’s got nothing to do with better cars plans or equipment or training.

Ben, do a video on funniest public encounters!
Love watching your videos Ben! I hope there’s plenty more to come 👍
I love these videos, Ben you’re a legend mate
I'd love to see this 50,000lb police car you're talking about.. no wonder they were getting away
Loved the book , so pleased when notification came today , not waiting for Friday, more please.
A only ever watch the programe to see the ones it get away lol!

Rover vittesse black v8 Manchester road!! My dad says hope you remember him 😂🤣
Ben, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the old tv series, The Sweeney.
Did you ever pursue somebody that you knew had great driving skills, irrespective of their stupidness doing it on public roads?
I wonder what Mrs Miggins picked up from homebase
“Shit bag” 😂🙏🏻
We need remote electronic monitoring and control of vehicles, so that police chases become redundant.
superb . never have subscrbed to a cop channel but i like this guys thinking. i hate bad drivers and scumbags. 9mm.
It’s the taking part that counts
Couple lads from my hometown got into a ridiculously long police chase when they robbed a milk float
Hi ben. Do you watch police interspectors when you get time.
you should have mrs miggins on as a guest ben !
Ayy up bed, hope you are well,stay safe and see you next vlog.And if we ever meet up I will buy you a pint or 3
