Bad friends lead to bad ideas, an exploding pie pile-up, and two suspended drivers in one car is two too many.

A good samaritan helps out at a crash and ends up regretting it and bikers are behaving badly, lane-splitting and paying the price.

When the motorway gets backed up, one driver offroads it and a mini Mitzi meets a maxi truck in a hit and run.

A driver gets sleepy and goes bush, another forgets to check his nuts and police meet a stoned slurpee sipper.

This time on Motorway Patrol: Kitten rescues, 17 and doing 177 and a hot ride ends in flames.

A breakdown leads to some dodgy towing plans, hot dogs fry on the roadside and there's lots of crashing.

This time on Motorway Patrol: A cargo of cannabis, the wheels on the bus won't go round an round and the cars go bump in the night.

This time on Motorway Patrol: Motorway tinder, crashing and fighting and memorable mullets.

A Christmas party sends a jolly driver over the limit and a relationship gets wrangled on the roadside.

A hitch-hiker wanders into motorway lanes, an officer has to read rights in French and a driver gets banged from behind.

We revisit the classic in this one-hour special. It's a degustation of danger, desperation, drunks and drama, as cameras follow the road users and abusers of Auckland.
