MY FIRST SHIFT IN AN UNMARKED POLICE CAR! 

Not round my area it isn't. 😔

No police officer has ever improved road safety. They’ll also never have a big manly 10 incher like I do.

If they were attempting to hide, they wouldn’t be in uniform, however they are attempting to be stealth.

@@almostanengineer Hide/stealth, stealth/hide. No mate that's plain clothes police, they don't use that for traffic stuff. Obviously they were attempting to hide/stealth cause the car is unmarked.

@@tedtheturbot there’s a difference between being hidden and wanting to blend in

@@lordvaspy8914 What's the difference when your driving down the road?

@@tedtheturbot your not hiding when you’re driving they wear high vests

By traffic police?

Me to but the exact opposite is happening in most places the speed limits are getting less a lot of towns now have 20mph limits. And some dual carriageways are 50mph.

But there is more traffic and distractions

@@rvineyard5770 when there's more traffic you generally can't get to the speed limit let alone exceed it.

I agree about speed limits in some places, although I think motorways you already get enough people bumbling along in the middle or outside lanes and nowhere near 70mph as it is. Also it’s less about how quick vehicles can stop and more about whether people are paying attention to the road around them and/ or reacting to hazards. A huge amount of collisions happen because people simply aren’t paying attention.

Every vehicle is 100x time more environmentally friendly than they we're also. I'd like to see anyone get away with doing 85.

Police do check up on how your mot advisories are doing and if theyve developed into dangerous. Example my car PASSED the Mot but had 1 advisory that 2 front tyres had 2.0mm tread depth. I wasnt driving much and was gonna replace the tyres 2 months after but 1 month after im driving at night and i get stopped. All my details clear but the officer sees the advisory and checks the front 2 tyre tread depth. They were still above legal so i was told im free to go. But its proof police do check on advisory even though it technicslly passed and was good for another 11 months "technically".

@@cephasmakuzva surely they aren’t good for 11 months, wouldn’t they be good until the tread is below 1.6 because car has be mot worthy all year round not just at time of inspection?

@@user-ef7qh6qm5w no they wouldnt at the time i was doing like 20 miles a week. Works up the road from me and i walk so only used the car for 2 miles to the grocery shop and back weekly and small other bits probably 20 miles a week. Hence i could last with 2mm tread until 1.6mm for 2 months. But any advisory like tyre suspension anything police do see your passed car but they do stop you to see if your advisory has developed into dangerous and undriveable. For that reason I try to get advisories sorted as soon as i get the money or if i have immediately.

@@cephasmakuzva thats fair enough mate! Makes total sense

@@user-ef7qh6qm5w ive bought used cars quite a lot too recently changing my car since i got offered more than i paid to get out of them and everytime i buy a car i get one recently serviced and get the guy selling the car to sort out any advisory on the mot so i buy clean recently serviced recently mot'd no advisory.

I think this is the least of the UK worries don't you think?

999 is what they dial as we in US dial 911, I guess that was coming from his computer in the car, interesting how the radar gun read MPH instead of kilometers

@@toddt6730 that’s how we read speed over here in MPH, I don’t know if it’s a cross all countries but here everything’s MPH

I don’t think the police track that, but accidents are recorded at local council level, and they do drive changes to infrastructure, it’s just not always as fast, or simple as people would like.

Not normally

Remapped? No. Do they have other upgrades? Depends, but often yes. I.e Firearms vehicles get upgraded suspension. They are driving around at speed (with majority of them being advanced drivers) in an effective "boat" usually an X5 or an XC90, with typically three assault rifles, ammunition and attachments locked away into a very sturdy, tough and secure gun safe either in the boot or built into where one of the rear passenger seats would be. That's before you factor in any other kit, such as the officer's kit bags (which can weigh up to 20kg each depending on how much the officer carries with them in their kit bag), first aid kits, crime scene tape, 5L of water for acid attacks etc.

Problem is there will always be idiots who speed on our pic roads for fun and careless driving. That’s why they enforce speed limit’s throughout.

Oh well. Anyway…

To me I don’t see much issue with a nice country road blast when the traffic is light but people who fly around in 30 zones with people out and about are stupid

If you can afford to buy a really fast tuned modified car, you can afford to go on a track. If you can afford to by upgrades for your engine what not cheap you can afford a track ticket.. If you see what I mien. But if you are buying a slow standard shxt box car and you like going fast in it then yes you could be poor for a track ticket lol

@@adamcowell7847 what if you can afford a decently quick car but the tax, insurance, fuel and maintenance costs are already a lot then on top of that to go to a track day where you go through a set of tyres, brake pads, full service, however much fuel etc plus the cost of actually getting the on track time

Check out ashville aggregates

Seen it a few times, but God forbid you do that!!

@@g.jeffreys9397 trust me mate i would love to.

Lol as it’s so easy to spot his jacket 😂 builders don’t wear them either 👍👍

I’ve been pulled by one of these the bloke was massive. He sat so low in his seat I didn’t see his jacket 🫤

Contact your local station and ask, they generally welcome the idea!

Considering it's Surrey that's not likely. It's also "SCO19" and has been for some time following the merger.

Combine the two though and you have an accident waiting to happen.

Rubbish The total distance to stop in an emergency is a lot. The ground u cover during reaction time, between 40 & 50, plus the extra distance to pull up between 40 and 50 is a lot. Most definitely the difference between stopping in time, and not.

@@StephenFogarty2023 That is true however if you’re going 50 in a 40 it means the person in front of you is also going to be doing 50 or more. I don’t condone excessive Speeding but you can go slightly over if it’s safe to do so.

@@WarrenF It seems as though u have a raft of excuses that justify speeding ? Just because the person in front of u is exceeding a posted speed limit, it doesn’t mean u have to. If u r on a dual lane road, then stick left, drive to the posted speed limit. Stay out of the way of others who might be driving at above the speed limit. IMO driving at 50 mph in a 40 mph zone, is excessive, and u should get booked. 1 or 2 mph over is ok in good weather and light traffic, and I highly doubt u would get booked for that.

​@@StephenFogarty2023 What you don't seem to understand is that the speed limit is an arbitrary value determined by some unknown person probably from the council as a cautious estimate for what any imbecile can drive at without crashing. Actual safe speeds are fluid with many different variables and "safe" is a judgement call open to debate. A skilled 30 year old driver in a new Ferrari 488 who has never crashed in good weather with no pedestrians around is a completely different scenario from a dithery 77 year old brainlet in a Clio with bald tyres and expired brake bads in rain at night. To the point where they are far more dangerous at 30 than the other guy at 50, despite which you'll claim the first guy is a danger and the second is a safe driver. I mean this video is a great example - no one would accuse the probable 80mph+ the officers were going in this video as dangerous. Why? Because we know they have a level of skill, that their cars are properly maintained and they have cars with decent stopping power. The speed limit is crafted with the idiots in mind, who can barely dress themselves let alone operate a vehicle.

He’s look lovely dressed up

Although I live in Kent, I know the Leatherhead area of Surrey fairly well. The M25 goes round the area and so it is very busy!! We once went to a College in the area and were turning on all sorts of roads there, and I remember it was pretty hairy then!! Thank you of course anyway.

Looks like somebody's had a little too much to think. Your comment is hurtful and offensive. The police will be round shortly to check your thinking.

You sure? Burpham is in Sussex, Dan works for Surrey police. Yes I understand the two forces are partnered like Kent and Essex are but usually they'd deploy from their own forces base. I'm in a different UK force and we don't really have a "partner" as such although we do work closely with another neighbouring force.

The car in front should have, but didn't. As the Audi is unmarked and the following vehicle, it's safer to leave the lights and sirens on. A) people don't usually expect 2 cars in tandem B) people aren't looking for an unmarked car

You'd be awful at spotting unmarked cars in the force I serve in. A lot of our unmarked borough cars are cheap as chips... i.e £10-£15k tops. Typical standard unmarked Focus, or Vauxhall Astra hatchback. Some of the unmarked cars have no visible lights at all. I drove one the other day and you really wouldn't know it was fitted with blue lights until you activated them, there were literally no giveaways at all. None of the unmarked cars i've been in or driven in have a second mirror, none have a central unit stuck to the dashboard or the window, some of them have a DIN panel (control panel) in the centre console to control the lighting and siren, but that only lights up when the engine is on, and the unit itself is no bigger than a phone. Some just have two VERY discreet switches mounted into the roof lining, that literally just look like two buttons, one for rear lights and one for front, not labelled with anything that would give it away at all. There's nothing on any parcel shelves and very few unmarked cars have a secondary aerial. The only unmarked car I've seen recently that is a dead giveaway is an unmarked Mondeo dog unit, Ford Mondeo estate, relatively new, 68 reg if i recall, plain colour but it's got a white dome antenna on the roof which stands out like a sore thumb and gives it away to those "that know".

@@thefiestaguy8831 Thank you for that, very interesting. I must be 20 years out of date. I'm talking about traffic cars really. I have a few friends in forces around the country, must ask them for more useful insights.

@@hollowskull4666 A lot of the unmarked cars now aren't easy to spot. Especially a lot of Kent and the Met's X5's and Skoda's, that said I drove behind an unmarked Surrey police Ford Focus hatchback a few weeks ago and knew it was an unmarked the moment I saw it. Confirmed about 10 minutes later when it spun round and stopped me, as I was unfamiliar with the area and drove into a closed retail outlet at about 11PM at night when nothing was open that wasn't brilliantly signposted.

You shouldn't be on the road

If the engine is on, it can be deemed an offence. You are technically deemed "driving" a vehicle if in control of the steering and brakes. So if you are sat in the driver's seat you have control of both of these things. This is why you can still be prosecuted when sat at a red light with the engine running, whilst you flick through your phone. Everyone says "But i've stopped".... in the eyes of the law and the true wording you are still "driving", you don't have to be moving.

what did u expected

@@rtds2024 in a booster seat

Police banning the use of mobile phones is purely a money raising exercise. Cars sat navs and media controls are fair more distracting than your phone.

@@freddiejones4598 Your argument is moot. You can still be prosecuted for using a car's inbuilt system if it distracts you from driving so much that your driving is questionable, i.e you start weaving in and out lane or swerving. As they said in a previous video - the systems should only be used on the move IF it involves a quick change, i.e pressing one button. If you have to start flicking through menu after menu and inputting an address on the car's built in infotainment system then you should pull over and stop to do so.

Is that when they overtook the car that was travelling less than 10 miles per hour and then stopped?

Allowed to cross a solid white line when the vehicle you are passing is doing 10Mph or less, I suggest you re-read the highway code.

Go and watch a video on gcm channel he recently done a video about exactly this. It's worth a watch.

Depends on the cop

@@Hesus_ exactly and what's the better that Joshua failed the attitude test at the roadside and that is why he's so salty

and it's not like it's new or strange , i drive a 65 plate car and that full handsfree functionality built in using bluetooth or cabled carplay andorid /auto

It’s ok to use as a Satnav so long as it’s in a cradle or phone holder. If it’s in your have you are guilty of the offence

in a bracket / holder ...
