Out on the road with Britain's commercial vehicle crime fighters

- Two years ago, Scene Scania carried its first report on the Central Motorway Police Group (CMPG) and its pioneering work of using trucks to catch law breakers. The logic was simple: Officers knew full well that some truck drivers flout the law -- other drivers regularly told them so -- but they were unable to do anything about it. From the officers' viewpoint, low down in a car, they just couldn't see what was going on inside of trucks. A higher vantage point was clearly needed...

“Feet up on the dashboard and steering with their knees” wow thats impressive!!
Not the same person
that first cop has not even got his belt on

traffic police are exempt from wearing seatbelts on duty. its at their discretion
Just like it should be our decision to wear one
Wayne Lisa police, fire or paramedics in our country don't need to wear seatbelts. They can if they want to
Ghost_striker99 Ur Recked I'm afraid your wrong!! Certainly when it comes to the fire service, we have to wear our seat belts at all times even if we are responding to an emergency call out!! I should know as I was put on a disciplinary for not wearing one whilst on route to an RTC.
No you are incorrect, as a milk float driver or a taxi driver
with all the cut backs. they could of glued a deck chair to a range rover roof.

I know you're being sarcastic, but Health and Safety would have a field day, HSE would fine them hugely! lol.
Even better if they just invested in a CB radio and warned the truckers that the police are about in a lorry. Would save them a fortune.
dude they did that with firetrucks they glued a chair to the back of the truck.... why don't they do it also
That is a wise idea! But in my opinion I think it better if that police truck is unmarked.
Bloody Brilliant I'd say!!
USA Traffic Enforcement and Highway Patrol Agencies throughout could certainly take heed.
We have a massive problem, especially with Cellphone use whilst driving. That alone contributes to an enormous number of traffice fatalities each year.
I'm sure we may find a number a of infractions liken to yours, as to truckers cooking and a several other ridiculous goings on. There must be such a fantastic view from the perspective of a Semi Tractotr's view.
Thanks, interesting and informative.
Debate is always good but please keep it clean - we have young fans who follow this channel.
ScaniaUnitedKingdom z
Scania proudly supporting the Police, I wonder who their customers are?..Keltruck arse licking by the sounds of it...
ScaniaUnitedKingdom the cops should use the R730 V8...not a R480...for god sake u can't even pull over anyone
ScaniaUnitedKingdom the young swear like troopers
With the prices Scania and especially Keltruck charge a 730 would be chicken feed...Although a 730 might tempt back into transport {God forbid)...
SO SAFE well done !!!!! 80 mph in a 40 ton tuck !!!!!! glad your leading the way in road safety
80mph? Pretty sure all trucks are restricted to 56mph in most of Europe.
The Police doing over 80 MPH in a TRUCK
the truck wihtout a trailer doesnt weight 40 tons...
@@marcdavey They are. Apparently the limiter is quite easy to remove though…
Not a ladden truck though is it. Police are exempt from speed limits, plus highly trained drivers.
I reckon this vehicle would be very effective at the pit manoeuvre 😂
XTR3MEBASS15 yes very robust
XTR3MEBASS15 You CAN with a sCANia!!
If it could keep up.
effective against other stollen trucks yes but useless against others such as tanks. I mean why can't American truck brands such as Mack learn from this and do something similar while utilizing the American Pit maneuver I mean after all I think what Scania is doing with the British police is quite innovative.
As a HGV driver, I see a lot from the cab and I've seen police texting behind the wheel on many occasions.
J lo yeah, but thats the police. Its ok. They are trained to multitask whilst driving. They can text their missus, be talking to their supervisor over the phone, be typing a suspects name into the computer, drink coffee and eat doughnuts all at the same time whilst driving and NOT crash . They are professionals. Meanwhile your average driver (you and i) would have a high probability of crashing if we lost concentration for quarter of a split second.
Seen lot off police on the phone in car's and texting at the wheel lot's time .
All sounds great..what a bunch of assoles..
When your load gets broken into, when you get mugged by thieves or your fuel is stolen the same plod are no where in sight..disgraceful piece of propaganda of how they upkeep law on the highway..trucker uses mobile phone and its a crime..truckes cab gets broken into and mobile stolen then its non specific ..ever noticed how cops are normaly bald with bullfrog eyes those days with big bucket asses...lol...whats that all about..
I think they used the "We need a vehicle to see into their cabs" as an excuse to be sat in a comfy cab with a nice fridge and heated seats.
Chris Thomson No but it’s true. The police Scania is overkill for its purpose.
Chris Kane you suggest what instead? How else will they see into the cab of another truck?
HMSDaring1 I suggest they use a cab with lower headroom as this will be cheaper and more fuel efficient as they will not be carrying box trailers. Also, the midlift axle is unnecessary as they won’t need any trailers. Private plates, are they mad?!! Surely these money saving points (still no compromise, they will be able to do the same job, looking into cabs.) will be able to be put back into the service.
I think you missed the point where they said the lorry is leased. Not owned, but leased from Scania. Likely, Scania gave them one of the trucks that they had available. They are leasing the vehicle, probably for a year or so. The Metropolitan Police do the same, except the vehicles are usually 'donations' from the lorry companies.
The way they get the lorry, is up to the dealer, not the police. It's not that CMPG went to Scania, hey can we have an R480 with dual rear axles, oh and a custom plate of 'E6ERG' which has no meaning whatsoever. That truck is probably a display or trial truck.
Mid lift axle is unnecessary but they travel with it up as shown in the link below:
c1.staticflickr.com/5/4078/4763825962_738bb9f227_b.jpg
Also, the second truck they got was much simpler, Google for it and you'll see. And also, it only stayed in service for a year, if that. They are returned very soon after.
It costs more money for the police, ambulance and fire service to respond to a HGV rear ending a stationary line of traffic (because driver was on phone) than it costs for them to operate a truck like this. Trust me on that. The expenses are FAR more vast when a HGV smashes into the back of a queue.
i dont even think its leased scania probably let them have it free of charge for the operation just to get them a bit of publicity especially since theyve loaned them anouther specificially to film a tv show in
Superb, want more of you and traffic officers in general
One guy cooking breakfast on a hot stove 😂😂😂😂😂😂
He spends more time checking his mirrors than actually lookong at the road ahead.
He's either got a twitch or he's abit O.T.T for the camera
So pleased to see these officers catching all those irresponsible idiots who could quite easily wipe out one of your nearest and dearest. I thank them for their service, helping to make the rest of us safe on the roads.
100 percent compliance, sounds delightful :)
Drivers aren't on the CB mate, they're texting on Facebook to let everyone know!!🤣🤣🤣
Pretty sad to see all the short sighted 'anti' comments here. I am sure that poor family that had the mother and children wiped out in front of their father by a trucker browsing his phone are all for this....
There are more accidents caused by 4 wheelers at fault than tractors. !8 wheels does not mean they stop 18 times as fast stay out of the safty zone.
Did you find any talking to a film crew whilst driving?
A decked out National Express coach would do the same thing 😂
Yeah sitting doing a piece to camera while driving a 7.5t tractor unit isn't distracting is it?!? Plus I would NEVER follow that close thru roadworks. No chance he would have time to react if something happened.
Why the need for a 3 axle unit ?????
It was a loaned unit, so it's not exactly up to the CMPG what they get
And they wonder why they cannot recruit lorry drivers anymore.
Rod James please, tell me the other 1000 excuses you have!
If you drive for a living, you have no idea how easy it is to get penalty points on your licence for the smallest of things. The police are out to cut the numbers of UK HGV drivers.
really? ive drove a lorry for 10 years now, no points, you could try, ya know, not breaking the law
Not pulled over by DVSA then maybe. I see. Thanks!
LOL, its only salty dangerous drivers that shouldnt be on the road have a problem with this, if you break the law by using a phone, speeding or not concentrating on the road while driving a lorry, you should not just lose your license, you should also go to jail
The police have tractor units with the speed limiter removed so they can catch any hgv on the road.
funny that they can afford a unit to charge about but when I got hijacked and my unit and trailer were being tracked by my employer,they had no one to send. consequently the gang went on for some time.
These vehicles are donated or loaned.
The Scottish guy Angus I think, has a twin brother also a cop in the west midlands...He is a failed haulier so he became a policeman, having been in transport all my life I still cant take to these guys...When I started driving back in the early seventies it was them and us, looks likje it still applies...
Dermot McGlinchey to
No, it’s them against the law breakers. If you are doing nothing wrong then you’ve nothing to fear.
Angus used to run a scania 143 .like u say he is a failed haulier
David o brien he also run bent cause he couldn’t do the job
@@CymruEmergencyResponder lol..F you..
1984 called to ask for their handheld camcorder you're using as a dash cam...
All things we had done for years and they wonder why they’re is a driver shortage 😔
Thats very true...your a criminal now if caught drinking coke whilst driving....but your vulnerable if you blow kids up at a concert in the name of religion or stab an 85 year old woman for her handbag and they wonder why divers think they are pigs...got to ask yourself who's side those assoles are on...disgusting pieces of sh1t..
I wonder if this police officer realises how difficult it is to stop a solo tractor unit in damp/wet conditions, even with ABS......it doesn't appear so.
They want to try catching all the car drivers driving around on the phone there's a hell of a lot more of them
Scania do you just loan them to emergency services or gift them? It would be a good PR thing to gift them imo. Help the emergency services (due to cutbacks) along with massive promotion of both company and brands.
A Scania all you will see is the red lights around the back of the air kit on my DAF XF 105 510 super space cab LOL
A Hino tipper would have done the same job, and they wouldn't be half as keen to spend a shift in it !
Optimus Prime has become a police officer!:D
"being distracted". Is that as in frequently taking eyes off the road to look into the lens of the camera filming you?
And they wonder why there is a driver shortage
Is the fault warning light on dash board at 1:58 showing red?
Looks like the tacho warning to me, maybe hasn't got his card in?
0:32,She's quite pretty, I must say, respectfully, of course.
skeet skeet skeet
respectfully...it not have to be mentioned
George Boyd Better call heaven, they are missing an angel
It's about time because in Northamptonshire there's lorry drivers not contrintrating on driving
Red light on the dash officer tut tut tut
Why can PC PLOD have a camera on his wind screen in his field of view [wiper swept area]..??
Got driving assessment in 1h. Should I have watched that 😬
bet the cameraman was sitting on the bed with no seat belt
A Police lorry?!😂
I love it when people say scaryna, its pronounced as its spelt scania or in reality a right piece of outdated junk.
Whoever is against this does seem to shut his eyes on all the countless deaths because of distracted drivers.
The truck is only on loan...oh yes & it has been de-restricted so easily do 90mph..
Time to avoid the arselicking Keltruck , will keep well clear of them in future...
a lot of comments against what the police are doing. using mobiles, laptops, watching DVDs, cooking meals etc etc are all very dangerous especially to other road users. as regards seatbelts they do save lives!
patgeorge1 seatbelts may save lives but do you not think it is the right of the individual to make a choice as to if or not they wish to use that option or not...or do you think it is a choice that the government take away from the individual..
Point being that ppl are now just system controlled dummies we do as we are told when we are told and pay money for not doing so..
Fact of the matter is that people rarely think for themselves these days you jump in the car and program the sat nav it instructs you where to go and when to turn left or right ect so you are being told by a machine what to do and when to do it and most ppl cant leave home without it either!!
Same with the law you jump in the car and instead of making a decision about if or not you wish to use your seatbelt you do it anyway coz you know by not doing so will result in a tax being levied on you for non compliance thus the decsion regarding the seatbelt was not your ideal it was someone elses....fact is laws are passed thru parliment and made by a small miority of people but just coz they have the power to pass a law does not mean to say the law is an ideal for everyone and is only an ideology of the people who made and passed it thru parliment and usuallly laws involve money...surprise surprise eh so lets face it if you cant make descisions for yourself you shouldnt really be driving a pram let alone something with an engine
in the UK seat belts are compulsory they save lives. one night in an intensive care unit costs £2000+. seeing the cost of health care is covered by our NHS it isn't up to individual choice. a road related death is said to cost the UK economy over £1,000,000! In the days before seat belts were fitted to cars I witnessed many fatal and serious injury road accidents or should I say the aftermath. when seat belts were fitted in vehicles my family always wore them, so it was sad to see the effects on non seat belt wearers who could have survived. Our government made the wearing of them compulsory, but there are those who think they know better!
philip rhodes one day your life or the life of someone you care about might be saved by a seat belt. When that happens perhaps you will re-read your comment and realise how wide of the mark you are. We live in a world where financial penalties seem to be the only deterrent. That’s why people hate them and see them as money making schemes. I am about to start my LGV training, it’s something I wanted to do since I was old enough to know what a lorry is. I will do everything within my power to ensure that this will be my career. I want to be safe for myself and other road users. I don’t want my income and livelihood threatened by easily compilable directives and laws. It’s really quite simple. You seem to me to be the type of person who would not wear a hard hat in a hard hat area because you don’t want a sign telling you what to do, the reality might dawn on you that the sign was trying to save your life when it was too late and you skull was fractured by a falling object. Some people will only learn by experience and by that time it may just be game over.
So is getting broken into whilst nighting out..guess a drivers safety aint so important though..
Scaaaarrrnia 😂😂😂😂😂
And the whole time that policeman was chatting in his truck he was middle lane hogging like a mo'fo. Ha
What a waste of a good truck
the copper who is driving and talking into the camera about seat belt use does'nt seem to be wearing one, maybe i just cant see it but the scania i drive has a red seatbelt as do most trucks in order for the police to see drivers wearing them, or not.
cbrboy76 it's also an offence to have the camera on the windscreen where it is. Quote from some legislation
it is an offence, under regulation 30 of The Road Vehicles (Construction & Use) Regulations 1986 (SI 1986 No. 1078), to drive a vehicle in which the glass is maintained in such a condition that the vision of the driver is impaired.
There has to be a 350 MM. verticals clearance centred on the steering wheel to the roof, and I bet that cameras within that area ,
Link to the site I got the quote from webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20120606172834/http:/assets.dft.gov.uk/publications/dft-information-sheets/stickers-or-other-obscurations-in-front-and-rear-windscreens.pdf
Whether he is or not is irrelevant, police, ambulance and generally fire crews are exempt from wearing seatbelts, it's at their discretion.
I'm a serving PC but I always belt up, both for public perception and that I don't want to go through the windscreen when we have to slam on the brakes when pursuing a vehicle.
It's not, they (police/ambulance & fire crews) are required to wear seat belts unless it hinders their duty / duties! So in everyday day to day duties they should by law be wearing the seatbelt
Wrong i'm afraid.
There's no legal requirement for police officers (100% for definite) to wear seatbelts, as I said previously, I'm a serving PC and ex special constable, you'd often see people I was on shift with not wearing belts, personally I always wore mine for safety, but also public perception.
Seat belts: the law
Overview
When you don't need to wear a seat belt
If your vehicle doesn’t have seat belts
2. When you don't need to wear a seat belt
You don’t need to wear a seat belt if you’re:
a driver who is reversing, or supervising a learner driver who is reversing
in a vehicle being used for police, fire and rescue services
a passenger in a trade vehicle and you’re investigating a fault
driving a goods vehicle on deliveries that is travelling no more than 50 metres between stops
a licensed taxi driver who is ‘plying for hire’ or carrying passengers
Taken from www.gov.uk/seat-belts-law/when-you-dont-need-to-wear-a-seat-belt
This post covers exempting ambulance service employees, riding in motor vehicles used as ambulances from the seatbelt law.
www.legislation.gov.uk/ukdsi/2015/9780111124567
that camera is on the left hand side of a right hand drive lorries, windscreen, how does that impair vision in any way?
When I drive I make sure I turn my phone off.
Anyone noticed that the car was a VOLVO! What a coincidence its like they are out to get SCANIA!
The only reason why they have extra lift axle is to have extra spare wheels as this truck will never see trailer. Their motto is "Forever lifte;D".
Is This A LEGO Reference?
Is talking on a telephone any more distracting and dangerous then carrying out an interview on tv whilst driving a hgv?
There is a certain minority of folk think that the Police, DVSA and other enforcement agencies are out to get them. If you drive legally there is not an issue. They are looking for drivers who are committing offences like using a mobile phone, drink/drug driving, overloading, vehicles in a poor condition, dangerous driving, driver hours etc. Life is a precious gift, but it can be so easily taken away, especially by someone driving a commercial vehicle.
and because this is not working at all, they release a video to act as a deterrent
So, what happen later. Do they still have them? Police with trucks?
limiter removed and camera blocking mirrors I think this is more dangerous .
So what do you do when you see a police Transit passing through a housing estate during the school run with the driver drinking from a can of Coke and the other policeman looking at his phone ?
Is it compulsory to wear a seatbelt in an HGV ?
Naw, you've got to drive naked though and not use the brakes at any time.
gregoris69 ....... I never knew that
With all the legislation that drivers already have to endure they are expected to put up with this PR b/s, update 2021: Haribo Sweets cannot deliver goods due to lack of lorry drivers.
hope theu have the relevant lifence.cos that is a load carrying truck if fitted with 5th wheel???
Ok but why Scalia, aren’t they the most expensive (best but most expensive) trucks?
Tankieguy Lol the shortest trucks
Put a camera on a top of a boom it doesn't have to be real fancy just stable and put it on an unmarked car. You might be able to sneak up on them.
When they get fed up. Upgrade to a tank
Why a loan
With a police woman like that i'd start dialling my phone imediatly and even pointed it with the other hand :)
Tennessee Highway Patrol, Maricopa County Sheriff, Dallas County Sheriff, Butler County Sheriff, Oklahoma Highway Patrol, LA County Sheriff, Hillsborough County Sheriff, and has a semi-truck with a trailer they use.
In what other job are you hounded by "management" to work above and beyond and in fear of being stopped by the authorities and face fines and potential prosecution ,on a daily basis ,and expected to keep up with endless regulations and put in very long , anti-social hours, with zero appreciation or respect fron ANYONE, and poor rest places, for very little financial reward? Welcome to the reality of being a HGV driver in the UK.
And the goverment wonders why there is a shortage of 76000 drivers. They can count themselves lucky it isn't 176000; which won't be too long in the future.
People should be clapping for us professional drivers, without whom the economy would collapse in three days.
Goverment will have to face the reality , soon.
hot off the press! lorry driver jailed for six years for causing crash which killed a women. he happened to be texting at the time and 15 mph over the speed limit. he also had previous convictions for drink driving and using a mobile phone whilst driving. poor lorry driver picked on by the police!
polish lorry driver jailed for texting causing the deaths of four people. Today another lorry driver jailed for killing two men while sending messages on face book. it has to stop folks and the police will do their bit to stop it!
Exactly. But some of the low-life on here clearly think its wrong for the police to catch law-breaking drivers.
So an HGV is supposed to be limited to 90kph, or it'll fail an MOT. How do the police manage to get an HGV to do more than the limiter will allow? Or do they just follow one driver at a time for miles and miles, hoping to get to a hill, like the rest of us?
they pulled speed limiter off, which is illegal.But no one is able to do any thing about it.
Lol. Not one crime committed here. More like '' Out on the road with Britain's commercial road bandits ''.
like not wearing a seatbelt
is he
Wonder if he's driving that on a car licence or a class 1..?
Tanya you can drive that on a class2 as no trailer involved.
Lol, yet, they film with a person sat on the bed in the police truck which is illegal as he is not belted up..
compliance of seat belts ? kinky fuckers.
To be honest, when you're driving a speed-restricted vehicle for miles on end, you actually need to do something to distract you otherwise you just switch off.
I've had plenty of journeys were entire chunks of time go missing. Although I must be on some kind of autopilot (technically a hypnotic state) and am not found anything dangerous or driving erratically, I do worry that I've day I'll completely switch off and even fall asleep.
if you worry that you will switch off and fall asleep then you should give up driving
@@paulcowen8425 Nothing has indicated that it's something that will happen, I just worry that it could since it has happened to other people, albeit different circumstances in that they were driving while overtired, although I've driven hundreds of miles having not slept at all for over 24 hours and not come close to falling asleep at the wheel.
Basically, it's obviously possible to fall asleep at the wheel, but I don't understand how it's possible since I've never been close despite having driven long distances in some terrible states.
@@paulcowen8425 cant be bothered with people like you..what this woman is saying is absolutly correct ..especially with truckdrivers doing a 4.5 hour stretch pf driving and the numpty oinkers brigade expecting them to sit up straight and keep both hands on the steering wheel for all that time and never nod off...absolute Muppets ..Go and pour yourself another alcohol free wine and relax on your big comfy chair..
Pigs in trucks , think this should be the title for the tv program
I find it funny when people try to get out of tickets and such by following the law when being alerted of police. It's exactly what they want, And they have to do less work.
Why are you tailgating the truck ahead of you and here you're talking to us on the camera not being attention on the road being a hazard to the public yourself this is why truck drivers walk away from their jobs continuous harassment
Who is SKARNIA?
Nice
That will be all five (police officers) of them then /-)
Hi
Err is he not wearing a seat belt? the very offence they are looking for?
Err yes he is...
Helps if you actually watch the video.
Why do they need to waste money on a truck, they already have snorkel cameras on vans and range rovers. I wonder what he gets up to with the young lady in his 45 minute break.
There will always be people who don’t like the idea of the Police using unmarked Trucks, to keep an eye on them, but there have been too many fatalities because a HGV Driver was using their phone while driving a killing machine potentially!
The Police & VOSA are doing a very important job to protect the public from potentially dangerous drivers! You just can’t afford not to give your full attention to your driving and other road users, whatever the vehicle!
anyone that complains what they doing is wrong obviously do not comply with the law. its a very good way of catching those in a covert way cause as soon as people see police they warn others which is bad
Whats your job then? Fukcing sheep? I think ypu can get charged for that too.
Maxence SCANIA
Why dont you pick on Foreign Trucks, Too much work for you?
crims just going to work
Funny how they didnt get on nairn to talk about this.....mayby should read up on his past and what he did 😂

James Farrar what

Scania is a swedish truck
better think how to improve drivers wages . i never been in a prison , but i think in prison better conditions , on time meals , on site toilets , showers
If a truck is driving at 56mph how can they catch it when it's limited to 56mph??
lotsof bricks are all European truck limited that slow because that is rather slow.
EU regs limit HGV'S to 56 mph.
lotsof bricks
Plenty of trucks go past me at 56 (maybe 57mph downhill and with a tailwind)
They call in the cop car that is always following a few cars back.
I like it
