Late night in Sunderland, PC Tommy Wade witnesses a Micra fly around a roundabout. The suspect then heads off road, narrowly missing a dog walker. Careering down a public footpath, Tommy has no choice but to ram the car to a stop, but why is the driver so desperate to get away from the cops? In Blyth, PCs Andy Clark and Marc Crammond spot a car with no front number plate and not a single occupant of the vehicle is car wearing a seatbelt. And PCs Jamie Leslie and Máire Curran race to a serious two-car collision on the outskirts of Newcastle.

At 8am in Newcastle, PC Brian Camsell responds to a 999 call about a woman drinking wine behind the wheel and finds the car out of fuel on an overpass. The woman in the driver's seat has plenty to say, apart from admitting who was driving, but her passenger gives the game away and a breathalyser test reveals a high score. In Wallsend, PC Jamie Leslie stops a pizza delivery driver with no business insurance, while PC Mary- Anne Hutchison stops a reckless, uninsured driver who wants a selfie.
