- PC Dave Lee from Northamptonshire Police's Safer Roads Team talks about Northamptonshire Police's use of a HGV to spot motorists using mobile phones and other devices while behind the wheel.
Great use of resources guys 👍 Great job... much easier than catching a dangerous criminal.. and more lucrative.. proud work brave police lorry crew.
You dont think using a phone is dangerous? Wait till they run into a family member and put them in a wheelchair. When that happens come back and delete your comment. Until then enjoy wallowing in ignorance
@@kevinsteel5812 you'd rather the police catch innocent motorists than dangerous criminals and burglars? What planet do you live on sir? Let the big criminals go, and catch the workers in their cars.. you can delete your message next time you are mugged or robbed.. mug.
Not enough of these guys on the road.. Great to see they are catching the law breakers and Idiots . Money makers or not! Fantastic!
Look down in to cars best in summer truck drivers will understand ✌
Your a pervert, just like me😂
Most lorry drivers are now aware that units bobtail could be the police.
Temptation…📱📱📱📱📱📱 will always get the weak and stupid 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
Tbf unmarked police vehicles are obvious af
If drivers are doing nothing wrong then they have nothing to fear..
What does that truck do to the mile ? Probably 8 miles per gallon
Empty like that probably an average of 15 actually
Good on you guys well done!!!
Can you stop on the hard shoulder for using phone ?
Hard shoulder is for emergencies only
No, you’d have to wait to get to the services if you really need to use your phone. Like you said, hard shoulder is for emergency use only, using your phone is not an emergency, and in the off chance it is, you have a legal exemption to use your phone in an emergency.
Truck limited to 60mph in dual carriageway, car can do 70mph?????
Empty truck, no logos or signwriting, big red flag to motorists.
didn’t realise that you can stop off on the hard shoulder and use the phone
No, he said the hard shoulder or a junction isn't a safe place to pull over.
The hard shoulder is not the place to answer a mobile phone call , it's there for emergencies only ( flat tyre , engine fails , damage vehicle ) . If your vehicle is fitted with bluetooth , you do not need to touch your phone .
more money making from police forces, the expense doesn't tally up though, 2 police officers in a lorry doing 8 - 10 kilometer;s per litre, 1 police officer following in a BMW. SO DO THE MATHS 3 x police officers @ £18 - £20 per hour x 8 HR Day, lorry full of fuel 300 - 400 litres @ £2.00 per litre plus the fuel for the BMW, then there are the enviromental issues like pollution to stop someone with no seat belt on its a joke, now someone using a mobile phone that's different that should be 12 months ban first offence no ifs, no buts and once people now that is what's coming the need for this bullshit could be cancelled and police time used better.
I hope you catch as many as you can.
I absolutely hate folk on Mbl phones..
Seriously? Welcome to 1984.
Driving on motorways terrifies me with all that potential for total carnage, so many never make it home
Just keep your distance front and rear…🏴😎
The safest roads per mile travelled are the motorways.
Avoid single track country lanes and two into three lane A roads.
Excellent 👍👍👍 😎 … On your phone 📱 and you RUN IN TO THE BACK of A CAR 💥🚙 with a family & 3 kids in the back seat, One in a baby 👶 Seat …. Dream that every night for the rest of you LIFE
Is that legal haveing a passenger on the bed bunk while your driving ?????????
Yes. They’re also not on the bed, they’re in a belted seat
Whilst driving, apart from the physical act of using a mobile, any conversation is likely to be far more distracting. So even a ‘hands-free’ kit is not safe.
Love this great idea 👍🏼
Dont worry, that truck will be surplus to requirement in a couple of nonths when every council bans every motor vehicle from the roads.
They will have to change the laws to read "it will be a criminal offence to use tin can and string whilst operating horse and cart
Save us from the self righteous.
To, I think it looks like eddydeadhead,
Really!! A Good idea!!! Y.M.B.F.J.
This is called police Fundraising. This has nothing to do with keeping people safe and everything to do with making revenue.
Total rubbish. Carry on texting as you drive up the M6.
@@highdownmartin why would I drive the m6?
@@Not_brainwashed substitute M6 for a road that you do drive then.
I’m from a totally different country.🤣🤣
@@Not_brainwashed clever you. Still not a good idea to text while driving tho
It has some speed limiter that thing,im sure that's against the law.but hey ho
Money and resources we'll spent than catching the real criminals. We'll done all you guys getting paid to do this instead of investigating real stuff - far easier and brings in the revenue even quicker. Definitely worth it. Keep it up. We don't want any accidents caused by these reckless drivers.
What a ridiculous comment. I presume you are aware that the Police have many different departments, each dealing with designated crimes. In case you don't understand, let me explain. There's a department that deals with burglaries. There's a department that deals with muggings, attacks etc. There's a department that deals with fraud. There's a department that deals with domestic violence. I could go on but the point is this. This video is showing just on e department. GET IT?? ????
In 2021 1,608 people were killed on UK roads, and a further 26,701 were seriously injured. An untold further number suffered minor injuries.
Comparably, there were 696 deaths labelled as homicide. This is less than half of the amount of people killed on the roads.
So tell me, Kirsty. Who are the ‘real criminals’?
I would advise you to watch videos such as “Driver using mobile phone kills family on A34” and similar videos you can find on TH-cam. I again ask you to revisit the question, “who are the real criminals?” after watching.
I would like to hope, for everyone’s sake, that your comment comes from a place of stark ignorance, rather than of blatant malevolence and disregard for life, which would be the alternative.
Typical thick plod. Driving a non sign written truck with no trailer and an unmarked car following them. Too easy to spot!
People on their phone don’t spot anything. So they won’t even notice!
The Police should be cracking down on middle drivers, they are the real danger!!!
Wish they spent as much time on other crimes all about making money now nothing else
They are the roads policing unit! they deal with crime on the roads
It's about saving lives , so many clowns texting etc. when you should be concentrating on driving .
Its about saving lives , so many clowns on there phones its insane. Why risk killing someone just because you want to mess with your phone, pull over and stop driving then use it as much ad you want , it's not rocket science.
The road is a dangerous place!
Another ridiculous comment
But surely a unsecured passenger sitting on the bunk is not legal don't get me wrong I totally agree with this
He's in a buddy seat with a black seat belt over his left shoulder if you look closely
@Charlie Manson ooh ok I stand corrected I didn't notice it 😅
@joff the trucker I only noticed because I thought the same thing so was looking closely 👍
@@charliemanson4808 😅😅😅😅good man
Making a video while driving ! well thats fucking safe then
