Very glad Mr Towu and his daughter survived that awful crash. Did he say at 36:26 that a warning light came on so he stopped where he was in the motorway lane and put his hazards on?? Warning lights do not mean you have to stop immediately, even if it was the oil light. Unless his engine had seized maybe he could have moved to the hard shoulder.
No, he said when the light came on he put on his hazards and couldn't possibly have made it safely to the hard shoulder. Even the police said it was not possible for this driver to find the hard shoulder and was left with no choice
Although drunk driving is unacceptable and anyone that drink drives as a disgrace, of course the first driver did very wrong by drunk driving, but you can tell he’s mentally unstable or going through some kind of trauma. The breakdown and the “I’m so sorry” and the “please tell me I’ve not injured anybody”explains it all. It seems like he is drinking to distract himself from some kind of trauma or sadness. Which truly is heartbreaking to see. As horrible it is to drink drive, I can’t help but think, what’s going on with that man? May he get the help and support he needs so he may never put anyone in danger again
No I think the crash just shit him up. Not everything means mental health issues. There's a good chance he's just a moron. And even if it is mental health, he needs to address it and, I dunno, maybe not be a danger to the public!

As someone who took a motorway lesson after passing his test, I can state with certainty that a good eighty percent of motorists should not be allowed anywhere near a motorway.
It's also a 50 limit, has overhead gantries with plenty of signage and the buffer lane where cars are not permitted. A lot of roads near me are barely 2 cars wide and 60.
If you're given a driving ban due to drink or drug then to be able to get a licence again you should have to do extensive medical tests at your own expense prior to being allowed to re-apply.
I think all drink drivers should be given a mandatory prison sentence starting from 2 weeks upto several months, depending on the amount of alcohol over the limit.
Chap in first clip definitely needs help as well as condemnation: he's an alcoholic, and that is in fact an illness, though it does not excuse his behaviour. He needs to never drive again, really.
Irony is they are actually somehow safer. But how I have no idea, I've seen muppets drive into closed lanes and ignore the enforced variable speed limits more time than I can possibly count.
If I recall correctly, he got a 6 month sentence, but it was suspended for 18 months - he wouldn’t go inside unless he failed to attend a mandatory alcohol rehabilitation program.
@@peteconrad2077he is sick due to addiction but he is an idiot for getting in a car drunk. He didn’t even have a licence so that also means no insurance. These are idiotic things understated by a sick man.
Anyone found guilty of drink driving should never be allowed a license again. Driving is a privilege, not a right. A vehicle in the wrong hands is a lethal weapon
@jxmmax6097 that’s for showing you have no sense of proportion or made either. I agree that someone mastered out of their mind should be permanently banned. But to say the same should apply to someone who is a few points over the morning after is absurd.

More of an example of how dangerous dumb drivers are. In 40 years of driving I've experienced break downs and punctures on the motorway and have always managed to either pull onto the hard shoulder, safety zone or at least pull as far off the lane as I could. As soon as you sense your car has a problem you get into lane 1 ready to pull off, you don't carry on driving in lane 2 waiting for the car to breakdown.
@@benjaminjacobsen7150nevertheless smart motorways are dangerous. I had a catastrophic failure where my exhaust rear section became unsecured and locked my rear tyre at 70. Got to the slow lane and sat in the embankment watching numerous vehicles narrowly avoid hitting mine. They’re a menace.
I’ve dealt first hand with breakdowns on motorways people see warning lights on dashboard and just stop no matter where they are don’t Think about rolling to safety

Every drunk driver thinks "I wont get caught, I’m a good driver". Don't ever think that way because you could kill a family and get life in prison. Not worth it, get a cab.
Having twice experienced drivers on the wrong side of the road ir going the wrong way it's a frightening experience, in my case one person was going round a roundabout the wrong way and was actually as close to the middle of the roundabout they could get, Elderly couple in the car the male driver had a big grin on his face the female looked horrified, fortunately the toad was very quiet and I didn't hit them, the other time was at night on a dual carriageway when I suddenly realised there was a car reversing towards me at speed with their lights off ! I only saw it with just enough time to go into the other lane, fortunately again quiet time of day but that was really scary I was doing 70, I suspect the reversing car was doing about half that
at time 35:25 >>> I think if this traffic cop had black mascara on, and makeup, he would or could be BOY GEORGE or a relative. Looks so much like him. LOL
With that lorry fire the police should at least tell one of the lorry drivers stuck and to pass it on, that they should put it on break if they need to, I hated being stuck and running out of driving time
I think it’s absolutely crazy not to have center barriers in Canada. You have center barriers everywhere, especially in the cities even outside of the cities there are barriers for hundreds of miles and the chance of a head on collision is extremely minimal.
Smart motorway works, when done correctly. The Video shows how not a smart motorway should be. And sadly UK have something to learn from the Americans, mainly from Golden Gate Bridge, where they have a barrier that can change position by the help of a special truck, thus changing what lane is open and preventing cars to cross the road.
We shouldnt have a drink/drive limit, it gives people a loop hole to drive thinking there fine when there not, should be a no tolerance, drink and drive, lose your licence and a major fine, caught a 2nd time and its a permanent driving ban and jail time, way to many innocent prople get hurt because punishment isnt harsh enough
No. It gives the people the ability to have a few drinks the night before, or mums beef stroganoff or have even a few apples and not drive in terror next morning. Use your brain.
s4 road traffic act prevents this loophole. It makes it an offence to drive a vehicle under the influence of any amount of alcohol in a careless manner. So after one beer you may be under but if you’re driving is careless you’re committing an offence.
The tolerance is a combination of the natural alcohol level in humans and the accuracy of the measurement instruments. Look up “auto brewery syndrome” for extreme examples…
If your car breaks down, get out and get across to the hard shoulder.... Yeah, good advice except the absolutely useless powers that be had them all converted to 'smart motorways'...

Thank you mr capital using pedant. Splint used BMW chassis from the BMW production line so it’s not unreasonable to refer to them as BMW if you’re a normal person.
Drink drivers should be forced to watch all the videos of incidents where there is loss of life of those that hadn't been drinking. Hundreds out there of families losing their children or children losing their parents. Putting everyone else at risk by operating a high speed vehicle whilst under the influence is unforgivable.
Partially blame the government. When the Smart motorways were designed/specified, it was recommended that the pullovers should be every 500m. To save money, I think we went for every 1km...

Hey Siobhan 👋 As a British person myself, I can confirm that 'dinner time' means dinner or the final meal of the day. in the North of England, people sometimes call their lunch 'dinner time' and their dinner 'tea time', but everyone else calls it lunch and dinner. Hope that helps!

no sympathy for a drunk driver no matter how much they pretend to cry and apologise i was hit head on by a drunk driver 40 years ago and for the last 40 years i have been disabled and unable to work hey got a fine and a 2 year driving ban and whent on with his life... so drink drivers should be banned for LIFE from driving.
Wrong. It's still 55mph. Mythbusters all ready proved that because of something Jamie said about two vehicles hitting head on at 50mph is the same as hitting a brick wall at 100mph.
Toll booths? What backwater country is that? We've had electronic tags for decades - you just drive, the tag is detected on the motorway lane, you don't even slow down. Auto top-up from your bank account or credit card. Online statement, which is also your receipt. And the same tag works on all the motorways across the country (as far as I know) (Australia).

PC Cope your job is to police without fear or favour, not to personalise it with "I'm out of patience with people who don't wear seat belts". You are a disgrace, PC Cope.
in 2020 whilst in the town of four marks,hampshire the police see me removing a 4-5 foot object from the main road in front of my vehicle as i go back to my vehicle(thats parked in the road with its hazard lights on)there's as i just mentioned a police car parked directly behind me from that point on i knew i was'nt going to be treated fairly i'm then followed for another 2 miles or so by this time i was half way through the village of chawton before the blue lights are activated and i'm stopped though what for is beyond me as i had'nt committed any offence i'm then practically accused of wrong-doing i was also told by an officer that by law they could'nt have stopped me sooner.i'm then told i'm going to be breathalysed having brought the breathalyser over to me the officer tells me that the device is faulty and does'nt work and that another breathalyser will have to be brought out to the scene by this point my patience is beginning to fray a few minutes later a police vehicle with a new device arrives at the scene and i'm breathalysed when i had'nt been drinking it was negative i then get back in my vehicle an leave the scene in a fury making my feelings known to the three officers present even now 5 years after it happened i'd like to know how it was------- ever lawful for the police to do this to me-----------because i' don't see how....apparently from a legal postion i've discovered that after being told by the police officer that the breathalyser was faulty/did'nt work i would not have been committing any offence----by leaving the scene either by walking away or getting back in my vehicle and driving off----so it appears that the law was on my side............
Why woud pc jess feel sorry the female killing her mother in th mini she killed her mother by driving dangerously so the female deserves to have to deal with the grief of losing her mother and she shoud be in prison for killing her and be charged over 2000 quid
I know this is old... but if that police woman said she has run out of patience for those who didn't have their seat belt on... means it time she gave up being a cop. A cop is not the judge jury and executioner... they are out there to help people in time of need, and that includes people who made bad and silly mistakes.
I know what you're saying, but people could be saved before anything by wearing a seatbelt. It is an incredibly easy step which prevents so much damage if the worse is to happen!
Guess you’ve never been to fatalities time and time again where the victim was not wearing a seat belt. Also police are not social workers, they are there to uphold the law. So telling people to wear seatbelts and fining them if not, that’s their job.
Seat belts have been MANDATORY for decades. Not wearing a seat belt means you have substantially less control of the vehicle and are more likely to crash…

The clinical information written on the card raised some eyebrows!
I was just a lowly Medical Lab Assistant though so that was rhe extent of my experience!
I also booked in the unfortunate lass who was involved in the Smiler incident when we at the new build.
No excuse of course but he says “I just need some help….” This is sad. Clearly an alcoholic who hates himself. Life spirals out of control. He will not be in control of what he does, the alcohol is in control.
Motorway toll booth: Sounded like a good idea at the time.
You know they're a common thing right?
38:47 THAT IS NOT A BMW ITS AN ALPINA BUT RESPECT
Thank you mr capital using pedant. Splint used BMW chassis from the BMW production line so it’s not unreasonable to refer to them as BMW if you’re a normal person.
@peteconrad2077 shut up mate it's an alpina BMW chassis but alpina tuned and badged
@Nathankitchen22
_Shut up mate_ it's still based on a BMW 39 shell and will have a chassis number to reflect that.
Jeez, I bet you lads get all the chicks with chat like this
Drink drivers should be forced to watch all the videos of incidents where there is loss of life of those that hadn't been drinking. Hundreds out there of families losing their children or children losing their parents. Putting everyone else at risk by operating a high speed vehicle whilst under the influence is unforgivable.
Did anyone else hear live lion
yes
is that man @ 25:23 the oen from the "HE?!?" video where the policeman is offended by being called a man?
I wouldn't get on my pushbike while drunk.
Sorry but that buffer lane on the last one is the most stupidest thing I have ever heard off.
Partially blame the government. When the Smart motorways were designed/specified, it was recommended that the pullovers should be every 500m. To save money, I think we went for every 1km...
It works though. I use that stretch of road a lot. Never seen an incident like that personally.
Did the police officers see the blood on his head like

Uh-huh.
When the English say "dinner time" do they mean dinner or lunch? I never really know lol. Excuse this Aussie's confusion.
Hey Siobhan 👋 As a British person myself, I can confirm that 'dinner time' means dinner or the final meal of the day. in the North of England, people sometimes call their lunch 'dinner time' and their dinner 'tea time', but everyone else calls it lunch and dinner. Hope that helps!
@@OMG_stories Yes, thanks for that. It does help a little, but from what you said, people could still call lunch dinner. All good. I've been to England 4 times and love it. We don't have a lot of differences, but I guess some expressions will have to remain on the list. Us Aussies have our quirks too lol.
If you are posh, dinner is an evening meal. If not, dinner means lunch, and an evening meal is called supper.
@@john1703 LOL how confusing. To me dinner means an evening meal (and I'm not posh). I guess next time I'm in the UK I'll just have to explain the time of day I'm referring to 😶
As a 71 year old Aussie, when I was growing up it was dinner and tea, now for most people it’s lunch and dinner.
I really can't stand the Birmingham accent... drives me nuts (pun intended).
Silly father as u brake down move over 😢😮
no sympathy for a drunk driver no matter how much they pretend to cry and apologise i was hit head on by a drunk driver 40 years ago and for the last 40 years i have been disabled and unable to work hey got a fine and a 2 year driving ban and whent on with his life... so drink drivers should be banned for LIFE from driving.
should have said a guy was with him driving and hes run off.
Hey, OMG; just how many more times are trying to milk this SAME video!?
Quite agree.
I remember adding a comment about the Stobart driver not wearing his tie!!
Compilations tend to reuse videos depending on what its about. Welcome to UA-cam.
Head on on that 55 mph road would be the same as someone hitting a brick wall at 110 mph
Wrong. It's still 55mph. Mythbusters all ready proved that because of something Jamie said about two vehicles hitting head on at 50mph is the same as hitting a brick wall at 100mph.
Did bmw skid
Toll booths? What backwater country is that? We've had electronic tags for decades - you just drive, the tag is detected on the motorway lane, you don't even slow down. Auto top-up from your bank account or credit card. Online statement, which is also your receipt. And the same tag works on all the motorways across the country (as far as I know) (Australia).
You know a lot of countries including the USA have toll booths, yes?
Heeeeeee am a female officer...
Did anyone else spot her😂?
Nah that mini crash at the end was defo a murder
Alcoholics are drug addicts. The world would be s better place without booze and other so-called recreational drugs.
We need to start by answering the question why do people START taking drugs and what turns a recreational drinker into an alcoholic?
Medical profession, can you help?
Good for you. I enjoy a cold beer sat on my terrace
Drugs yes , alcohol certainly a no from me. I love my pint and I do 1500-2000 miles a month. That doesn't mean I mix the two. I just have a pint or two when I'm not going anywhere...
The door into addiction is massive
The window out of addiction is tiny
PC Cope your job is to police without fear or favour, not to personalise it with "I'm out of patience with people who don't wear seat belts". You are a disgrace, PC Cope.
in 2020 whilst in the town of four marks,hampshire the police see me removing a 4-5 foot object from the main road in front of my vehicle as i go back to my vehicle(thats parked in the road with its hazard lights on)there's as i just mentioned a police car parked directly behind me from that point on i knew i was'nt going to be treated fairly i'm then followed for another 2 miles or so by this time i was half way through the village of chawton before the blue lights are activated and i'm stopped though what for is beyond me as i had'nt committed any offence i'm then practically accused of wrong-doing i was also told by an officer that by law they could'nt have stopped me sooner.i'm then told i'm going to be breathalysed having brought the breathalyser over to me the officer tells me that the device is faulty and does'nt work and that another breathalyser will have to be brought out to the scene by this point my patience is beginning to fray a few minutes later a police vehicle with a new device arrives at the scene and i'm breathalysed when i had'nt been drinking it was negative i then get back in my vehicle an leave the scene in a fury making my feelings known to the three officers present even now 5 years after it happened i'd like to know how it was------- ever lawful for the police to do this to me-----------because i' don't see how....apparently from a legal postion i've discovered that after being told by the police officer that the breathalyser was faulty/did'nt work i would not have been committing any offence----by leaving the scene either by walking away or getting back in my vehicle and driving off----so it appears that the law was on my side............
Have you heard of punctuation?
Why woud pc jess feel sorry the female killing her mother in th mini she killed her mother by driving dangerously so the female deserves to have to deal with the grief of losing her mother and she shoud be in prison for killing her and be charged over 2000 quid
_Compassion has left chat_
I'd still like to know how the hell she ended up crossing over two lanes and not braking once.
U to tg ofo😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉😢😢😢😅😅😊😊😊I'm not ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Why use the terms "Male" and "Female" instead of the more normal and easier to use "Man" and "Lady"??????
Thats the standard
Because we're in 2024, not 1924.
Male can be used to describe any age, same goes for female. Man, woman can lead to misunderstanding, because an 8 year old wouldn't be a man or woman.
Because a lot of females aren’t “ladies”.
Why use _man_ and _lady_ when you could use _his nibs_ and _'er indoors_ instead?
Just completely Ban Alcohol.
Stopping in a live lane because of a warning light ? He needs to take his driving test again. Stupid.
The penalty for drink-driving should be life imprisonment.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Reckless drivers!.
Police my arse.
I don't think they'll take you up on that offer.
lol
Your comments have cheered me right up lol
I know this is old... but if that police woman said she has run out of patience for those who didn't have their seat belt on... means it time she gave up being a cop.
A cop is not the judge jury and executioner... they are out there to help people in time of need, and that includes people who made bad and silly mistakes.
I know what you're saying, but people could be saved before anything by wearing a seatbelt. It is an incredibly easy step which prevents so much damage if the worse is to happen!
Guess you’ve never been to fatalities time and time again where the victim was not wearing a seat belt. Also police are not social workers, they are there to uphold the law. So telling people to wear seatbelts and fining them if not, that’s their job.
She said "worn thin" not "run out". Big difference in meaning.
She’s 💯 correct
Seat belts have been MANDATORY for decades.
Not wearing a seat belt means you have substantially less control of the vehicle and are more likely to crash…
I love the police patronizing attitude to the drink driver but has the officer never had several drinks and worked the next day ?
Probably not, no. What a strange line of supposition 😂
I was at a wedding where there were several drunk fire arms and other officers who drove home the next morning with hangovers.
tracey cope if you dont have patience your in the wrong job did you ever do anything wrong you cnt
What a strange, angry little fellow you are😂
so where do you put a child back or front answer that one
ian should be in jail for 20 years
