I always enjoy these, so amazing hearing your story’s
Living in Southend, Essex, I've seen some Epic car related incidents. They always go for the gap, they never make it... Thanks for your content 👍👍
Great video
I bought your book and finished it in three days. You have done a great service for anyone that has worked in the emergency services.
@@01cthompson I think I’m going to get the book as well
My dad was in the police all my childhood and based in Preston, he died in 2013 from pancreatic cancer. I was 15 the stories he never got round to telling me which feels like empty holes feel like they are being filled by you the memories are unbelievable you’ve brought back for me. He was and always will be my hero.
Take care Ben
I'm sorry to learn that.
I've been on life support and am convinced there is life after death.
Every possibility he is still with you my friend.
Stay strong,
Forwards ever
Backwards never....
Love to you pal. Sure you make him proud everyday. All the best
@@cannonball9478 Thankyou means a lot
Ben is a sound bloke, Really Interesting to listen to.
He see seems sound but no sound person becomes a cop
@@ItsWourn You're on the side of the criminals?

There's something about your storytelling that's strangely compelling! I could sit and listen all day!
In a time when the police aren’t shown in a good light I wish more people would watch Ben’s videos. A top bloke who did the job for the right reasons. Love this videos mate, please keep pumping them out.
There are bad police and there are good ones that dont get enough recognition. I'm glad I found this channel.
Taking a knee for a terrorist organisation and batting woman that want their lives back probably didn't help.
Great storytelling Ben! And a round of applause for the editing team switching between all the cameras when it was analyse this, analyse that, watch this, watch that, watch Mrs Miggins. That was great 🤣
Very true, these look simple vids on the face of it, but they're top quality.
Ben is just such a genuine guy and provides us with some of the most genuine stories
Got to love a Friday when Ben uploads. Friday nights just got a whole lot better
Absolutely love making these videos with you Ben 😂🙌
How nice
Can I just say I’ve been a class 1 truck driver for 30 years now and I have never known what police officers have to deal with I’m gutted that you don’t have the support that you all need I think you Ben are a fantastic person and hope you come through this and it’s a shame that we have lost a good officer from the roads get well soon and stay safe
Brilliant, genuinely horrific and very funny. Ben your storytelling ability is top class sir.
You told this in a way that was akin to being in the car at those speeds. A lot of information all in one go but not hard to follow. You clearly never lose the instinct and your passion for the positive experiences is obvious in the way you tell your tales. The smile on your face when talking about handling a machine at those speeds, your level of training, I dont think people realize that interceptors in particular get that level of intensive training. Amazing stuff as ever Ben! I look forward to these all week, you never fall short!
I could listen to Bens stories all day long. Such an interesting person. much love to you Ben.
Ben you've just got something about you that makes me feel calm when your talking I honestly don't know how to explain it. I've watched all of your videos so far and ive Been through every emotion lol could seriously listen to your stories all day. Looking forward to next week
I’m so glad I subscribed to this channel, the high’s and lows of being a police officer. Keep telling the stories, as they are so well told.
Mate seriously respect what you’ve done in order to protect the public and what you’ve suffered as a result. I think we will do a video on our channel soon outlining my past and my battle with complex ptsd as I feel we need more awareness. The things policemen and women see and experience on duty is immensely traumatic and I don’t feel you get the correct support for it or if so not enough of it. And IMO your proof of this. I’m just so happy to see you’ve made the journey out the other side. I know things are never the same and you never fully recover but what an improve,ent we have both made ❤️
Ben, your enthusiasm is infectious; Tis obvious you loved much of your job, that said, when we listen to exciting highlights of a busy wk it is easy to forget the *danger, stress and drudgery* of everyday policing, even for an interceptor. But learning of the incites of policing, can't but improve our respect for police officers. And for that Ben, I thank you with all the sincerity I can muster.
I’ve just come from the happy hour podcast and just want to say from the bottom of my heart Thankyou for what you have done, such a strong bloke!
Could sit there for ages listening to him hes so lovely x just wish there were more pod casts
Could listen to your stories for hours! So interesting!! I’m from Bradford too so it makes it all more interesting knowing the areas! Looking forward to more videos!! 🤩
Cannot get enough of these stories! So insightful!
Ben I have spent most of the night reading your book. I have just finished it. I feel so angry for the way you were treated. Thsnk you for your courage you showed in writing this book. I will pray for your continuing progress and wish you more "good" days. Keep safe. ❤
Stuck between a lamppost and a tree! I’ve watched the first five minutes of this six tunes! Bens personality is why this works so well!
These videos are fantastic, very well put together and Ben seems like a great guy. Thank you for putting them out there for us.
The way you narrate, just draws you in. Captivating.
How have I only just found this channel. So interesting and such a sound bloke. To think, as a high-pursuit driver, thinking about all that's going on as he said during a high speed chase, and he is doing all this to keep us, the general public safe 👍🏻☺️
Brilliant! Really interesting hearing about all the things you need to do in the car, and the technical side etc. When I was a kid I used to watch Police Camer Action and I'd always be commenting on the behaviour of the car, understeer, balance, throttle control, etc. In a different life, I'd be a traffic cop, but I went motorsports instead. Would love it if you could get a bit more in-depth about the cars.
I’m a truck driver. I have nothing but respect for police pursuit drivers. Amazed at how quick they can analyse and process information at such ridiculously high speeds.
I’ve been reading Ben’s book and I can’t help but read it in his voice in my head he just describes everything so well too bloke a lot of respect for him 👍🏼
Really enjoy the war stories, would be great to see you talk to other coppers as well and hear theirs. It would make for a great series I reckon.
I hope this content never ends! Another great story and also a hint into the mind of a traffic officer 👍Sounds stressful to me! Keep up the good work😁
I love the way you can put us mere mortals in the car with you to give us some indication of how it feels without the stress. Not to mention the humour that is just second nature to you. Absolutely incredible stuff Ben. Your channel is most definitely my favourite on TH-cam. I've always held the Police in the highest regard, probably because I was taught respect growing up, but you have escalated my regard for you guys and girls to a whole new level.
Your videos are inspirational to me! I am an Interceptor myself and the stories resonate! Great content Ben
Love listening to your stories Ben, please keep them coming.
My dad whispering under his nose “rookie numbers” don’t arrest him 😂. Top bloke I love the stories. Obviously the speed was on a private track and Germany 😂.
This is a really exciting story to listen to, and I've got to give credit to the editor of this video, the editing just adds to the excitement!
Looking forward to hearing more of your experiences!
The reality that a high speed pursuit carries risk and so many different components to think about. Highly skilled!!! Massively admirable
WHYYY do I love this guy???
Brake fade...... I managed that one time(details withheld), not done it again since... EVERY. Lovely vid as always thank you. A point you made in an earlier vid about the road surface has really stuck with me regards the quality of the roads in built up areas compared to motorways, and how all the pot holes/lumps and bumps make it a non-starter at high speed.
Love these stories keep them coming
Bang on with everything you’ve said, Ben. So much to manage as ground commander and a really acquired skill - something jo public don’t realise. Excellent video mate. Keep up the great work and videos and keep smashing it 🤙
Fantastic to hear this, Ben!
Keep them coming.
Hope things are improving for you. One step at a time is all it takes.
A lot of people talking about "going fast" mean going 65 in a 50 zone, coming up to a corner and going around that corner at 40 (That would be perfectly fine at 50 even in the rain) and then 65 or 70 on the straight again. That is not fast. That is speeding. Driving "fast" is being able to navigate corners at speed. Something that is most fun on a track.
Incredibly amazing stories told from a great guy, please keep them coming, 10/10
2:40 THANK YOU for acknowledging this. I'm sure most police understand this too, say you're a biker cruising at 100mph on an empty motorway people lose their minds, say you're in a car doing 50 around tight country lanes in nationals "oh look how safe he is". Not using this as an excuse to speed but lets be honest, accidents are not caused by people trying to see what their vehicles can do on empty motorways, they come from complacent drivers flying down familiar roads where sometimes even the speed limit is too high.
Hey again brother. So nice to see a jovial look back at some good times for you. Keep recording my friend.
Really enjoying the human side to traffic Cops from the TV. It's far more interesting listening to you talk than watching
It has to be said that it makes a change hear the stories in such an honest and frank manner. There are so many retired bobbies who still talk like they're still on the job, like they're robots. Keep up the good work fella.
P.s. Hi from Leeds :)
I wish police were able to be this open before retirement, love the videos keep it up. :)
I love watching Traffic Cops and Police Interceptors, but it's so interesting to see your unique view that isn't shared in the programmes. So interesting, loving the videos, keep it up!
How fantastic.. Hes a hero isnt he.. Stronger than batman
Do you like my motto police forever..and ever and ever
Great video Ben. Made me laugh and made me realize how scary your job was, so thanks for all the work you did. Our Hero.
😂😂😂. So engaged in your story's mate seriously. As a lad from weatherby I know where everything is also
I am a ROSPA qualified mentor for people who want to improve their motorcycle riding skills. I am in awe of police drivers and riders and their combination of police and driving skills. I have enough trouble with just watching and following someone who is trying to ride to the rules of the road.
....and we went past Greggs ( 2 coppers running in shouting I want a steak bake and a sausage roll and make it sharpish!!)
The greggs he’s on about is next to a subway & a Starbucks. Many food choices for a diet conscious Bobby 😉
I was laughing thinking he can remember greggs but can’t remember the road name 🤣🤣
@@vickitaylor2065 .. and then it’s a Right Right Right onto KFC drive through..
And gravy
Food of the gods!
Lovin this, need more chase stories!
Love this, the way you tell the situation really draws you in it's as if you are with you sitting in the car during the chase.
Thank you Ben, my mum is from Leeds, my nanna lived in Wakefield, my aunt and uncle live in Renthorpe, you are part of my heritage, I’m proud to be associated with salt of the earth people of Yorkshire, like yourself.
Everyone's got a mate who's bare fast in their ST... Till Ben and his squad turn up 😂 tbh pursuits have probably gotten so much more intense the last 15 years because cars have gotten progressively more powerful. 2005 you maybe had a hot hatch Fiesta with 150bhp NA at redline, now you've got boosted Fiestas, Golf's, Audis pushing strong 250bhp+ etc. It was always inevitable really
an evening somehwere warm, a beer or 3, pull up a sandbag and swing a lantern. Ben, one day, one fine day mate. to spend time with you and just listen. it would truly be an honour. total respect.
Got a lot of respect to you for being so open about your mental health mate, I'm starting with the police in August and can't wait
👍🏻
Driving fast on a track is different to driving fast on the road. On track, you drive on the limit. On road, you do what Ben said. The police are the best drivers on the road and this guy is the shit.👌🏼
Another great video ben and i have huge respect for what the police go through and do on a daily basis to keep us safe and I’ve seen most of your videos and they’re all brilliant keep up the good work and in reference to your video about making off from the police i read something once on twitter from an officer who attended an rtc and he referred to it as having more ambition than talent i think it happened in wintertime as well but like you’ve said anyone can drive fast in a straight line but without the proper skill and training to go around corners fast it’ll all end in tears but another great video and your content is brilliant 👍😊
Man, the editing on this when you're talking about the pursuit professionalism. Had me in stitches! "Fuckin' hell! He nearly hit that-", "Yeah, we are now still Bradford Road..." 😂 😂
I love these videos, Ben! Keep them coming! Stay safe!
Love it when you and the 2nd Ben are together. The family has nicknamed you laurel Hardy and Co. Good luck for the future.
Love what you’re doing Ben!!
I could listen to this guy all day 👌 so easy to listen to 🤙
Ben great talk and while most is quite sad you bring the funny side out. Great content 👍🏼👍🏼
Hat's off to you mate! Your brain must've been absolutely unbelievable, having to think about and analyse all those different things at once! Absolutely incredible!
Absolutely loving these Ben. Keep up the great work 👍🏻
Hero. Could list to him all day, unbelievable the shit that come crawling out at night
Big respect too you Ben & all police can’t be an easy job
Absolutely top quality videos! Let’s get Ben to 100k subs. He deserves it all. Thank you for your service Ben.
i love how honest you are great vid bud, always watched ya on tv keep well bud.
This was really interesting to listen to, I now understand how much concentration and multi task operating practices are required, in what is an already very challenging and constantly evolving situation!! x.
I could listen to your stories all day long...proper made me chuckle this one.
Looking good Ben. I truly hope things are getting better fir you and Millie. Loving your videos. Keep safe and happy. ❤
But Ben done it.
I am forever hooked.
Just finished reading your book. What an informative, interesting eye opener. I couldn’t put the book down. The chapter about your dad and family- I couldn’t stop crying.
I’m currently due to join with GMP, I can’t wait. Though I go through every emotion, happy, excited, nervous. Then I think about the future and what that may bring- potential promotions, difficult jobs that like you say, stay with you forever and what the pressure may bring. But for now I’m looking forward to my new career. ❤️ xx
It's amazing listening to you and everything had to do. I have just finished reading your book it was brilliant
Massive respect to you Ben!!!
Strange hearing you talk about things around my area. I'm from Bradford and its interesting hearing the things that happen around hear..
Keep up the good work!
Hi Ben I have watched all of your interceptor videos that are great 👍
Again love hearing this side of the stories from Ben could listen for hours hearing the unedited version of life as a traffic cop, love the book by the way excellent read esp when you read in with a yorkshire accent
Whilst riding my motor bike a guy blew though a red light and collected the vehicle next to me parked at the lights.
The guy in the rogue vehicle tried to escape and I tackled him to the ground and just sat on him until the Police arrived on scene. The Police Snr Constable growled at me for risking life and limb to which I replied that this is a once in a lifetime act however he placed his life on the line every shift.
Ben is a truly brilliant story teller. I wonder if Police members ever have their cortisol levels in their blood checked?

You are not protected by law, don't get involved.
Ben a love the work on the intercepeters police show great work pal topman 👍👍
20 years ago I got pulled for a faulty break light. Cop had me sit in the back of his jam sandwich while he did his checks on my nova gsi and handed me my weekly producer . I watched him walk over to my car and replace the faulty bulb, comes back to the cop car "Reyt lad hop back in lets test it, There you go son on your way". Imagine that now? Thats why I bought LED brake light bulbs, they aint failing anytime soon. If any cops read this they are "E" approved and apparently road legal with an Extra long life expectancy 100million hours, should out see us all. So no pulling me right? quality bloke this guy, bet he used to carry spare bulbs.
It's interesting how the pursuit driving is similar to F1, you have to take care of the car, don't ruin the tyres, don't cook the brakes (reading this Ben ;-)) if it's getting long watch the fuel to give yourself a chance of catching them.
Another fantastic video keep climbing that mountain .stay strong and well.big hugs ❤️
Love the story telling and a great sense of humour 👌
I hope Mrs Biggins is okay!
He's right on bout the fast pursuit being relative to location. I would take a 140 MPH chase on the freeway any day over an 65 on city streets, 80 on 2 lane blacktop and 50 on dirt or gravel.
Amazing to listen to. Thank you.
You most definitely have a new subscriber, you was brilliant to watch in Police Interceptors and now brilliant to watch your own series, keep it up Ben! Hope your enjoying retirement
Makes my day when these videos drop on.
Same
Oooof that got to me being Father of 2 boys. Sending love healing to you sir.
Keep the stories coming Ben. Brilliant insight into what goes on 👍
Another great video Ben. Nice to see you smiling. Keep them coming mate.
Love these videos. From all serious and emotional to having a laugh n joke. Keep them up 👏🏼👏🏼
Just found this channel. Absolutely brilliant 👍🏼
Thank you for your service sir
