Welcome to Caught On Dashcam... (TYRES SCREECH)

..the show that explores the world of driving

through the lens of the onboard camera.

(HORN HOOTS) From bad driving,

to wipeouts,

hilarious mishaps,

to treacherous weather,

angry drivers... (BLEEP)

..to raging bulls... (BULL SNORTS)

..we'll bring you every imaginable moment

from around the world.

The use of dashcams and phone cameras has exploded

with millions of us now capturing the thrills and spills of the road.

(EXPLOSION)

And we have selected the very best and most shocking.

(CRASH)

So buckle up and strap yourself in,

as we take you on a jaw-dropping journey

with our collection of the most extraordinary clips

ever to be captured on camera.

Let's start the engine...

(CRASH)

THIS is Caught On Dashcam!

Oh, and don't worry,

nobody dies or gets seriously injured,

even if it looks like they come close -

like, REALLY close.

Coming up...

the nasty pitfalls of driving at night...

(CLANG) (TYRES SCREECH)

..speeding drivers get what they deserve...

(ENGINE REVS)

(CRASH)

..and wet weather turns our roads into water parks.

(TYRES SCREECH)

Stay tuned!

Slow down! (HORN HOOTS)

(CRASH)

Speeding is one of the biggest factors in road-traffic accidents,

yet many drivers fail to pay attention to statistics.

(ENGINE REVS) MAN: Whoa! Jeez!

You might be running late for a doctor's appointment,

but that's always better than arriving on time

at an A&E department.

(TYRES SCREECH)

(ALARM BLARES)

So, if you see a speed-limit sign and think to yourself,

"Nah, I'll be fine,"

think again.

(CRASH)

The truth is drivers speed for the thrill...

(CRASH)

..until, that is, the reality of their recklessness bites back.

(TYRES SCREECH) (CRASH)

(CAR PURRS)

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

Life in the fast lane can be hectic,

but luckily the fast lanes on THIS road are on the left,

so this car is slow-poking it.

This allows the driver a vantage point

into all those crazy drivers who drive too fast and lose control.

Speaking of which...

(TYRES SCREECH)

..a pea-brained driver in a pea-sized compact

exercises the perfect police take-down of the truck ahead.

But he's not a cop and the trucker has done nothing wrong -

just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

(CRASH)

You learn that in a video game?

Everyone was OK, but the truck driver is like,

"What the (BLEEP), bro!"

(TYRE SCREECHES)

In the state of Iowa, USA,

the biggest cause of road accidents is distracted drivers.

There's not much to distract the eye here,

except, of course, the speeding driver

that adds a whole load of misery to a cold, grey day.

(ENGINE REVS)

(THUD) (TYRES SCREECH)

(TYRES SQUEAL)

And, wow... MAN: Holy (BLEEP), man!

..what a mess he makes,

sending a car dangerously across the highway

and other cars barrelling into each other.

Were you really in that much of a hurry?

Don't expect anyone to offer you a lift home.

(TYRE SCREECHES)

(EASY-LISTENING MUSIC)

What could be more fun than the Saturday shopping run?

A chance to give up a few precious hours of your weekend

to argue with your loved one over what's missing from your home.

"Gonna need cheese, bread, those little pickles that I like.

Oh, you know what also might be nice? Some of that..."

(BANG) (TYRES SCREECH)

"What the hell, man!"

(TYRES SQUEAL)

This couple get bashed by a morning drunk driver,

who ploughs into their back side,

destroying what little shopping they had done.

"Great, so let's add new car to the bottom of the list."

(CAR PURRS)

(MOTORBIKE REVS)

Watching motorcycles speeding

can bring a bit of nausea to the mouth,

as you anticipate what might and could happen,

like driving 200kph.

What are you thinking?!

And here comes his even more stupid friend

going even faster with even less protective clothing on.

As his buddy slows down for a turn,

it all gets a bit gravelly.

(TYRES SCREECH)

(HEAVY ROCK MUSIC)

Strewth!

Who's too cool for a leather jacket now?

Barefoot strangers appear out of nowhere to help.

This is either the beginning of his hero-origin story

or it's a prelude to an obituary.

Funny how those intersect.

(AUSTRALIAN ACCENT) Are you OK, mate?(MUMBLES)

Seems like he's lost the ability to speak.

Let's take you to hospital, man.

The crash leaves the silly dingo in shock

and nursing open wounds that will heal eventually

in a couple of months. Any sharp pain?

So consider yourself lucky, although from here in

there are some serious judgment areas you need to work on.

And invest in a leather jacket.

(HEAVY ROCK MUSIC CONCLUDES)

(CAR PURRS)

(BIKE REVVING)

Oh, happy day!

This young man has his new shoes on.

(REVVING)

His moped has been washed and he's off to meet Mummy for lunch.

Best Sunday ever.

Let's throw in some more revs to make it even more exciting.

(REVVING)

Of course his mother doesn't care how quickly he gets there,

so long as he gets there safely.

As he maxes out the throttle...

(REVVING INTENSIFIES)

..it's enough to make our viewers - especially the mums -

shout, "Slow down, roundabout ahead!"

(REVVING CONTINUES)

"Mind the cars!"

But of course he can't hear you, because this is TV.

Oh, and I forgot to mention one more thing.

Please don't get distracted by other speeding bikers.

(REVVING)

(CRASH)

MAN: Ahh! Ahh!

Too late!

And squashed by a Beetle. Oh, the irony!

New shoes, shiny bike and a bucketful of "ahhs"!

Guess who's having the soup for lunch!

Now, where's Mummy when you need her?

(SHUTTER WHIRS)

Driving nightmares.

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

Driving at night can be scary.

There's always plenty to navigate, like poor visibility...

(CRASH)

..a stand-off with a wild animal

where you know you're going to have to give way...

(ELEPHANT GRUNTS)

..or the glare of headlights that reveal unexpected surprises.

(HIGH-PITCHED SCREAM)

You think you know the roads by day, but once the lights are out

they can play host to every imaginable danger.

WOMAN: Mm-mm. No.

Mm-mm.

Thought you were too old to be afraid of the dark?

Mm-mm. Uh-uh. I'm running this red light. No. No!

I'm not doing... No. NO!

Think again.

No-o-o-o! (SCREAMS)

(FIESTA-STYLE MUSIC)

It's already looking bad for this driver,

whose cracked windscreen adds to the hazards of driving at night,

making the road look like a not-so-fun house of mirrors.

And here comes the trouble.

(SWISHING)

(CLATTERING)

Phew-wee!

A close shave, but not for the vehicle ahead

who is blinded by the lorry's lights

and fails to spot a truck full of timber.

At least if he's stranded overnight, there's plenty of firewood.

(TYRE SCREECHES)

Well-lit motorways can be just as dangerous

if you're not paying attention.

(GLASS SHATTERS)

And late decisions can have terrible consequences.

This dozy driver attempts to make a last-second lane change,

only to hit the big prize of door number two.

Congratulations, you've just won

a front-end collision with a concrete barrier!

(TYRE SCREECHES)

(QUIRKY MUSIC)

You know what else you might experience on the late-night roads?

Pesky animals.

Some are cute, like this baby deer.

Look out!

Confused by the bright lights,

our little fawn heads straight for the car.

Not a very bright Bambi.

Thankfully, Bambi is OK,

and the driver is able to carry the dazed and confused fella

back to his mum.

Phew!

(TYRE SCREECHES)

Other animals on the road are even less intelligent,

like teenagers.

This motorcyclist is doing a good clip down the road,

when suddenly something appears out of nowhere.

(ENGINE GRINDING)

It's a teen, on a bike, in the middle of the road, at night,

with no lights on.

The rider quickly turns around to see if he's OK,

and now there's another person with him AND a dog.

Wait, were they all on the bike?

No. Phew!

It all seems like a rather weird and random night for this driver.

Even the dog is like, "You'd best head home, bud.

These two are a piece of work."

(DOG BARKS) You alright?

(TYRE GROWLS)

What's scarier than teens on the road?

A ghost bike on the road. (SPOOKY MUSIC)

Ooooooh!

That's one drunk ghost,

as it weaves back and forth before finally passing out...

..and finally laid to rest.

(TYRE GROWLS)

As we've seen earlier, when driving at night

you need to be fully focused on the road ahead,

as things can come at you quickly in the dark.

Whether it's animals, kids, ghosts

or even badly signposted construction work.

(BANG) (TYRES SCREECH)

Ouch!

These cars plough into a deconstructed road

with no formal warning,

taking their night to an even darker place.

Maybe the construction workers were so embarrassed by such a poor job

they didn't want anyone to notice.

As the dashcam driver makes his way through the rubble

and the dust settles, the full extent of the carnage unravels.

Thankfully, nobody is seriously hurt.

Oh, wait, there's a tiny warning sign further down the road.

Thanks, guys(!)

(CAR PURRS)

When you're asleep at night, do you ever dream of going to the toilet

only to wake up and discover you didn't make it?

This driver will wish it's just a dream

as popping out for a pee turns into the nightmare

of falling from a bridge.

(DRAMATIC ORCHESTRAL MUSIC)

Miraculously, he hit a few branches on the way down

and ended up with just a fractured leg.

But a lesson learned -

always take a torch with you.

(TYRE SCREECHES)

Driving at night isn't always the stuff of nightmares.

If you're super lucky, you might even witness something spectacular

that will light up your journey home.

This driver in Turkey captures a meteorite

burning through the Earth's atmosphere,

turning the sky emerald in colour.

200 kilometres away,

a young child turns away at precisely the wrong moment.

Never mind, at that age, a balloon with flashing lights

is so much more exciting.

(SHUTTER WHIRS)

Still to come... scenic drives that induce

moments of near heart failure...

(CRASH)

..or road rage of the future,

underhand tactics when charging your electric car...

..and heroes on bikes take on thieves.

(CAR PURRS)

But first, as if you weren't already afraid of night driving,

here's a little teaser to get your heart racing.

All seems pleasant enough on this San Diego highway,

despite the excessive blur playing havoc with my eyes.

But see if you can you guess

what surprise is about to stumble out of the dark.

Stay with us and find out soon!

(CAMERA WHIRS)

(CAMERA WHIRS)

Slippery when wet.

(SKIDDING TYRE SQUEALS)

Rain-soaked roads are particularly nightmarish to drive on...

(CRASH)

..and trigger what is known as "hydroplaning",

the technical term for when tyres lose traction with the road surface.

And this is what it looks like.

(POUNDING ROCK MUSIC)

Phew! Thank goodness for an empty, clear road.

So, when the Tarmac's slippery, drive defensively and slow down.

You really wouldn't want to deal with the aftermath.

(TYRES SCREECHING)

(GLASS SHATTERS)

(CAR PURRS)

It's already looking dicey for this driver,

who sets off from the hard shoulder on a very damp day.

But maybe it won't dampen his spirit,

as he soldiers on through the wet.

A switch to the rear dashcam makes the day look even worse.

Hang on, where's this guy going?

(TYRES SCREECH)

(BANG) Yikes!

The driver stops to help retrieve him from the ditch,

but we never quite get to see the outcome.

Maybe they were both washed away with the flood water.

And, no, that's not the same pickup.

Everyone just shops at the same place around here.

(UPBEAT ROCK MUSIC)

(TYRE SCREECHES)

Another lorry, another rainy day,

but this one has a little snowman ornament,

which is maybe good luck.

So let's find out.

Things start to get a little frosty, as the slickness takes over.

(WHEELS WHISTLE)

A 360 spin...

(GLASS SHATTERING)

..a flip and the sound of crunching glass.

But the good news is the snowman is OK.

The bad news? It's cursed.

(TYRE SCREECHES)

With an average of one rain day per month,

drivers in Palm Springs, California,

are more used to sunnier, drier conditions.

Today is that one day.

Slow down. Don't speed.

Simple, right?

And now a new word to add to your vocabulary.

Hydroplaning.

(TECHNO MUSIC)

(CRASH)

After this, it's not a word you're likely to forget.

Never mind, tomorrow's forecast is for sunshine.

(TYRE SCREECHES)

When driving, have you ever gazed at another person's ride

and enviously thought,

"I wish I had a better-paid job and could afford one of those"?

Well, me too,

which is why I think this next clip will raise your spirits.

(ENGINE REVS)

(CRASH)

If you're going to splash out on a Lamborghini,

make sure it comes with a competent driver -

proof that you don't need expensive toys to be happy.

(CAR PURRS)

Puddles might be fun, but not if you're on a moped.

(COMIC MUSIC) Wheee!

You might now have wet pants,

but consider yourself a lucky boy you didn't slide under the car.

So, all in all, great entertainment.

Let's watch again.

Ow!

(CAR PURRS)

What an odd place to set up a CCTV.

The owner must either really love his car and bike

or they are aware of the danger that happens at this spot.

And there it is - as the cyclist opts to take the pavement,

hits water and splashes out.

Maybe the dog was trying to chase the cyclist off the pavement.

(TYRE SCREECHES)

Last but not least, a non-crash clip to end with.

This is either the worst place to accidentally park

or just karma giving you a little tap on the shoulder.

Either way, it's clean,

and you could probably open the back flap

and empty it out once you've had a bath.

Or, if it's not yours,

just enjoy the idiocy of the person who parked there.

(SHUTTER WHIRS)

(CAMERA WHIRS)

Before our next nail-biting theme,

it's time to head back to the nighttime San Diego highway,

where earlier in the show

we asked you to take a guess at what happens next.

Well, any ideas?

Watch out for the lorry parked precariously on the road.

You can't park there, mate!

(TYRES SCREECH) Whoa!

That was a very lucky escape.

The driver is able to avert running over the truck driver,

who takes a nasty stumble into the line of fire.

Speaking of near misses, let's check out some more.

(CAMERA WHIRS)

Close calls.

(TENSE MUSIC)

(TYRES GRINDING)

Have you ever had a near-death experience

and thanked your lucky stars it wasn't your time?

Some claim that's the burnt toast theory,

where the extra time spent scraping off burnt toast

before you head off in the morning...

(WOMAN LAUGHS)

..saves you from being caught up at the scene of an accident.

So next time you're about to jump in the car,

why not skip the Sugar Puffs and opt for toast instead?

Alternatively, ignore the TikTok babble

and opt for Que Sera, Sera - Whatever Will Be, Will Be.

(CLATTERING) (MAN HOWLS)

I do love a bit of Doris Day.

(CAR PURRS)

An open road may tempt you to pass a large lorry,

but just because the coast is clear up ahead

doesn't guarantee a safe overtake.

(TYRES SQUEAL)

(UPBEAT STRING MUSIC)

A change of direction sends panic through the veins

of this speeding misfit.

With little time to react, he just misses the green bucket

and slips past without harm.

Might need to cut down on those high-caffeine drinks from now on.

(TYRE SCREECHES)

Driving a moped can leave you exposed to a whole host of dangers.

Arrogant drivers, out-of-control lorries

and even falling powerlines.

(HEAVY THUD)

It's a close call, as the turning bus

takes out the electrics and traffic light.

A lucky escape for the moped riders...

(HEAVY THUD)

..but not so lucky for anyone

relying on the internet to work from home.

One thing is certain -

this town needs a decent electrician.

(TYRE SCREECHES)

Driving scenic roads is a great way of relaxing -

that is, until you encounter idiots like this.

(IMPACT WHIPS)

MAN: Holy (BLEEP)!

A close call as the caravan-hauling driver

attempts to pass an even bigger truck on double-yellow lines.

The driver is not only able to thread the needle to safety

but also fill his drawers in the process.

(IMPACT WHIPS)

Holy (BLEEP), indeed!

(TYRE SCREECHES)

Overpasses are conduits for trouble,

as drivers attempt to reach highway speeds as they round the corners.

(BANG)

This moped rider attempts his very own rib slide,

narrowly avoiding a 50-foot shortcut to the big lane highway below.

(REVVING) As the bike heads off in disgust,

the not-so-lucky dashcam driver takes a shunt in the rear.

(THUD) Doh!

(CAR PURRS)

One of the worst places to experience a close call

is at a railway crossing

because of the obvious threat of death by train.

That doesn't deter some fools,

who are hellbent on reaching their destination,

no matter the cost.

This SUV is in a pickle, and he knows it,

as he tries to manoeuvre away from being turned into a gherkin.

With the train fast approaching,

a guardian angel rushes to the rescue.

Now move, mister!

(SILENT-FILM PIANO MUSIC)

Wow, a very close call -

and not even a wave of gratitude for the guard who saved you.

(EXASPERATED) Some people!

(DRAMATIC PIANO FINALE)

(ENGINE PURRS)

If you think humans have close calls,

spare a thought for wildlife.

A near collision for rider and little creature.

But hang on - what is it?

It looks so cute.

Maybe it's one of those racoon dogs

or one of those cats who poops out coffee beans for us to enjoy.

If you have an idea, do visit us on #CODC and let us know.

(CAR PURRS)

With steer horns on the bonnet, it must be America.

Enter this driver, who cuts right in front of the truck.

(ROCK MUSIC)

Look out!

The big truck manages to make it back onto the road

and everyone is safe and secure in America -

on this road, at least.

Yee-ha! (TYRE SCREECHES)

Saving the best for last, you'll need to watch a few times

to figure out what the heck is going on.

(KLAXON HOOTS)

(CRUNCHING THUD)

(WHIMSICAL WIND MUSIC)

Let's rewind and start again.

(TAPE REWINDING)

First, we have whatever home-made vehicle this is,

an odd watering truck that doesn't look fit for purpose

and then this hasty van,

which breaks the man's invention... (CRUNCHING THUD)

..then flips its way into a ditch.

A close call for the inventor.

Even the local residents are confused.

"What's going on here?"

"Would you like to buy some water?"

(SHUTTER WHIRS)

Parking headaches.

(GRINDING AND SHUNTING)

There's one thing that no driver takes for granted.

(TYRES SCREECHING)

A good parking spot.

(CLATTERING THUD)

Unfortunately, even when you've found one,

it doesn't always guarantee you'll be able to leave.

Some drivers are yet to learn their lesson

when it comes to illegal parking.

Aw, what a shame.

But if you thought getting a ticket was the worst of it...

MAN: Oh, my God! ..think again.

(TYRE SCREECHES)

Aw, what cute little doggies.

First off, they don't get hurt.

We're not that kind of show.

But people? Meh...

If you need a lesson on how not to back out of a parking space,

check out the driver of the black SUV.

(GRINDING)

Oops!

Her injured friend might be writhing in pain,

but she's missing the best part,

as this lady has a total reverse of fortune into this shop front.

(GLASS SHATTERING)

No-one was harmed, her friend was OK,

some phones got discounted,

and this store ended up with

the greatest window-crashing special ever.

(TYRE SCREECHES)

Pulling up in a motorcycle parking lot

takes dexterity and responsibility.

After all, there are other people's trusted rides here too.

This biker notices a moped leaning on another

and decides to do a kind thing.

(ALARM SHRIEKS)

Oh, dear.

Ironically, many of those drivers worked for Domino's.

You'll probably want to delete that footage from your helmet cam.

(ALARM SHRIEKS)

(TYRE SCREECHES)

Never drive when you're both hungry and angry -

or "hangry", as modern folk call it.

This driver spots the perfect space for some finger-licking indulgence,

only to forget how to park.

# Chicken and rice and garlic bread!

Oh, dear.

Having clearly not eaten and clearly light-headed,

he bangs around his little bucket into the other two cars,

while attempting a simple parallel park.

Not sure what kind of herbs and spices the driver might be on,

but he quickly splits

before the other drivers catch his greasy moves.

Too late - looks like someone got ya!

Anyone else feeling hungry?

# I'm hungry, man!

(CAR PURRS)

Finding a clamp on your car

can be a real bummer of a way to start your day.

You can either pay a ridiculous fine,

drive off and ruin your car for life

or, like this man, attempt to kick it until it comes off.

Freeing your vehicle from a wheel clamp is not illegal,

although you do run the risk of damaging your vehicle.

Given the price of an uninsured hospital visit,

he chooses the most expensive option,

and goes at it in pink-hooded determination.

And it's off!

And such spectacular red underwear!

Walking off like it isn't even his car.

Oops, mind the clamp.

Wait. Sir, was that your car?

(CAR PURRS)

Have you heard of charger rage?

It's a middle-class thing that happens

at electric-car charging stations.

Waiting around for ages can make environmentally conscious citizens

get up to mischief.

This man uses his dog as an accomplice,

as he does the dastardly act of unplugging this other car.

Bad man - you got the dog involved too,

you no-good lowlife.

(DOG BARKS)

And then...

..the middle finger. Class!

The question is... why?

Behind that blur, there's a very smug smile.

The sad news is we can't show his face.

The good news is

if you type into your search engine

"random guy unplugs Tesla and flips owner"

you can!

(SHUTTER WHIRS)

(CAMERA WHIRS)

Still to come...

two-wheeled riders turn vigilantes...

..what not to do when stopped by police...

(ENGINE REVS)

..and a teenager passes her test and gets the car of her dreams.

"Gee, thanks, Dad(!)"

(CAR PURRS)

But first, it's time for our second teaser of the show, where...

Shhhhh! (Quiet.) (CRICKETS CHIRPING)

Let's enjoy the calming sound of nocturnal creatures

on this warm evening in Thailand. Ahh!

Question is, though -

what do you think is about to happen next?

And, yes, it will most definitely disturb the peace.

Find out soon...

(CAMERA WHIRS)

(CAMERA WHIRS)

Two-wheeled vigilantes.

(SUPERHERO MOVIE MUSIC)

Time to pay tribute to the two-wheeled folk

who keep our streets safe.

And, no, we're not talking about you, Batcycle-Man.

Nowadays, cyclists and bikers have worked up quite the reputation

for putting wrongful drivers in their place.

Filthy boy!

So it's nice to see these vigilantes keeping our roads in check

and - like Dave here - remind drivers

when they're breaking the law.

DAVE: Might want to put that phone away, mate.

Oi, are you police?

Engine running, out of control with a vehicle.

Take it up with the traffic commissionaire.

I'll see you in court.

(HORN HOOTS) No, you don't. You go back.

Just don't mess with them.

Chances are your misdemeanour will be captured on video

and presented to the real police for evidence.

That will be going to the police and YouTube.

Or you'll end up infamous on Caught On Dashcam.

(CAR PURRS)

You can't use your phone sat at the traffic lights.

This motorcyclist catches Granny doing a driving no-no

in the form of Etsy-ing at a red light.

Having woken up to the fact that

there's a bus length of empty space in front of her,

the biker politely reminds this ditzy Etsy

she's behind the wheel of a car AND breaking the law.

Hello? Anyone in?

Ignoring the obvious knocks,

she's too in the zone to worry about her surroundings.

As the light turns green, the biker heads off,

leaving Granny sat in her Jeep still browsing for knitting patterns.

(ENGINE REVS)

Moment later, and Grandma smashes the biscuit tin

by cutting off the motorcyclist

and knitting her way to an angry tweet to herself later.

It's not a grandma -

it's a Karen in disguise!

The biker decides enough is enough,

and stops to give Nana a lecture she'd be wise not to ignore.

I got it all on camera. You on the phone,

you cutting me up, everything.

It's all recorded right now and going to the police.

I'll follow you wherever you want to go.

Alright, let's go.

But the only thing she's going to do is drive on.

And off she goes.

And proof that grannies spend as much time on their phones

as teenagers.

(TYRE SCREECHES)

Kudos to this motorcyclist, who delivers a cold message of rebuke

to a driver who thinks that going the wrong way down a street

is somehow acceptable.

Lesson here - it never is.

Back that thing up, buddy, and learn your right from wrong.

(TYRE SCREECHES)

If you ever spot a man dressed in black, running away with a bag,

odds are there's foul play afoot in his chasing.

Bag thief! But this lady isn't having it,

and ropes in a moped rider to give chase to the bandit.

Then another dude joins in,

and we've got ourselves a moped chase.

If only they had seatbelts.

Johnny Cash is funnelled out by the moped dudes

who aren't having it.

And then - what's this?

A flying kick and a total badass move

to wrestle this situation to the ground.

Job done - bag returned.

(CAR PURRS)

# MOZART: Horn Concerto No.4, Rondo

Let's put the "ass" in "class",

or take it out again, depending on whose side you're on.

This cyclist spots a posh man copying Granny,

by using his phone at the lights.

When will people learn?

Poshy-pants dashes ahead,

before executing what looks suspiciously like a brake check...

(BRAKES SQUEAL)

..in what could be construed as an attempt to injure the cyclist.

You can tell we're treading carefully here.

When finally confronted, it turns into a bit of a...

(POSH VOICE) "What, what, what?" - as they banter the legality.

DAVE: Is stopping deliberately to try and make me crash

into the back of you appropriate behaviour?

(POSH VOICE) There's a hump in the road, so I had to slow down.

You'd already slowed down. Why did you suddenly break?

Because there's a hump in the road to slow down.

I slowed down to go in here.

Is it good practice to abide by the law

of not using your phone while driving?Yes.

Somebody's full of bravado, aren't they?

This driver obviously thinks HE has the law on his side.

It wouldn't be a problem if drivers like you

didn't use their phones while they're driving.

I wasn't using the phone when I went over the hump.

Turns out he does...

as Posh Man is a court judge, who really should know better.

The judge ended up on the wrong side of the law, though,

once reported to the police,

and was forced to complete mandatory driving training.

Let's hope he had to cycle to class.

Good morning to you. Bye-bye.

In the words of Dave Sherry... I'll see you in court.

(MOZART'S HORN CONCERTO CONCLUDES)

(SHUTTER WHIRS)

Welcome back to earlier in the show.

Sorry... (WHISPERS) Welcome back to earlier in the show,

where we asked you to guess what happens next on

this oh-so-quiet road in Thailand. (CRICKETS CHIRPING)

Maybe that light in the far-off distance

and the barrier in the road are clues.

The crickets might be chirping away in nocturnal bliss,

but not for much longer.

And here it comes -

Thailand's very own cops-and-robbers chase.

(TYRES SQUEAL)

(CRASH)

Wowzer!

Don't worry, the barrier did not go unavenged.

The getaway driver was later caught and charged

for drug possession and disturbing the crickets.

And relax...

(CAMERA WHIRS)

(CAMERA WHIRS)

On the run.

(SIRENS WAILING)

(CRIME THRILLER MUSIC)

Here's a tip... if you find yourself

being pulled over by a police officer,

the worst thing you can do is try and make a quick escape.

(REVVING)

If you do, then at least make it funny,

so we can laugh when watching the show.

(CRIME THRILLER MUSIC)

Because - spoiler alert -

they'll ALWAYS find you...

(SIRENS WAILING)

..no matter how many cops it takes.

(CAR PURRS)

This little boy and his passenger buddy

have taken Daddy's toy for a joy ride.

And we're not talking about his secretary.

(TENSE ELECTRONIC MUSIC)

Stopped by the police, this tiny tot says no to the flashlight...

..and runs away with Daddy's chrome, like a dog with a chicken bone.

As the officer gets back in his vehicle,

up ahead his colleague - with sixth sense -

anticipates this might happen and gets out the spikes.

OFFICER: Stop!

I've got a spike strip. I've got a spike strip.

(SIRENS WAILING) Stop! Stop!

He's been spiked. He's been spiked. He's been spiked.

Yup - sounds like he's been spiked.

And now it's only a matter of time before...

(CRASH)

(GLASS SHATTERS)

And there he goes!

Riding the wheel rims does the job,

and the car takes a tumble.

Too easy.

With the driver happy to submit to the gun-welding officer

- good move - the true reason for running away becomes apparent.

So you all ran because of the weed?

I mean, I thought we were just gonna ticket you.

And now you've just won a whole load more charges

and wrecked the car.

Daddy won't be happy.

(TYRE SCREECHES)

Bandit on the run!

It's a foot chase between this suspect

and a clearly out-of-shape police officer.

That's a lot of gear - and wearing the colour black in the hot sun

doesn't help. What DOES help

is being given a sneaky ride on the back of this pickup.

Oh, (BLEEP)! Oh, (BLEEP)! Oh, (BLEEP)! Oh, (BLEEP)!

Clever thinking. Only in America!

Well, Florida to be more specific.

And the suspect is heading off into the ravine,

so if the gators don't get him, the Florida Man will.

(FAKE TERROR) "Oh, my God, no way!"

(TYRE SCREECHES)

(CHEERY MUSIC)

Now to a clip which is more like a movie in real life,

as you are witnessing a prison break in Thailand.

The man driving is a Japanese prisoner,

who busts loose having stolen a police van.

From another angle, we can see other guards rally to buttress his escape.

(CHEERY MUSIC)

The prisoner was eventually caught

and sentenced to a three-year retelling of his life to Netflix.

(CAR PURRS)

Do you have a business cam?

Does it capture crazy stuff?

If so, get in touch.

Let's do digital lunch.

It's time to go Hollywood style...

(TYRES GRINDING)

(TYRES SQUEAL)

..as this car spins out from a police chase,

then does the old "pull in and turn off the lights" trick.

He's out of the car. Now's your chance.

(METALLIC WHISTLING)

OK, no chance.

The officer dashes over to grab the suspect

and march him back to his colleague.

(HORN HOOTS)

As they focus on trolleying him off to justice,

his passenger stumbles out, perhaps needing medical assistance.

If only there was some sort of emergency personnel on hand.

And wait, there's another.

Any more in there to declare?

It raises so many questions.

Who was this mystery man?

Who were these women?

Would he be up for co-starring in a Netflix series

with a Japanese escapee?

(SHUTTER WHIRS)

Keeping it in the family.

(JOLLY MUSIC)

There's nothing better than spending time with your family,

apparently.

But too much time can lead to boredom

and the desire to entertain oneself at their expense.

(LAUGHTER)

And who better to prank than the people you love the most -

even if Dad doesn't appreciate your silly humour!

(HORN HOOTS)

(LAUGHTER)

So let's end the show with some of those family funnies

that'll either make you laugh with the one doing the pranking...

Aargh!

..or feel anger, like their victim.

(LAUGHTER)

(CAR PURRS)

Dad here is teaching his daughter how to drive.

Wear your seatbelt, Father. No.

But the car is making pinging noises,

reminding him to buckle up. (PINGING TONE)

But he's having none of it.

(PINGING CONTINUES)

Father, please!

I told you, I don't do seatbelts.

Time for a lesson.

(MURMURS)

Safety first, Pops.

And, yes, that tickled us too.

(TYRE SCREECHES)

This dad does the ultimate Tesla pranking joke on his son.

Stop, stop. Dad!

Dad, dude, the car's moving.

Setting the car to self-drive summon mode,

it's a sure way to distract him away from his phone.

Who's stoked now, little man?

Dad's gonna kill me! (CACKLES)

You suck. MOTHER: Gotcha!

(TYRE SCREECHES)

Give us a child who hates an awkward social situation,

and we'll give you a dad willing to make the most out of it.

Goofy father here loves to embarrass his daughters with daily pranks.

And what's more embarrassing than continual humiliation

in front of their school friends?

(CHILD WHIMPERS)

Dad even has a variation on a theme for each day of the week.

Seriously, coming home from school should be a joyous occasion.

They'll hate you now, but in years to come

hate you more for the long-term psychological damage.

And what happens on Wednesdays?

It's bin day!

PLEASE get a day job!

Otherwise, we're off with Mum,

who's leaving you for the bus driver.

(TYRE SCREECHES)

Passing your driving test is one of the proudest moments

of a young person's life.

And what better way to reward your daughter

than the gift of a new car wrapped up under this tarpaulin?

(TRIUMPHANT MUSIC) (GIGGLES)

Darling, this is for you.

OK, are you ready, gorgeous?

Yes, I am. Are you ready for your car?

OK. Hee-hee-hee!

Very funny!

Dad just repurposed Grandpa's old scooter in the garage.

Hey, it's your first ride,

and it's probably the only insurance you can afford -

so soak up the freedom.

Whaah! Whaah!

And Grandpa would be SO proud!

(TRIUMPHANT MUSIC CONCLUDES)

(SHUTTER WHIRS)

That's it for now, folks, but don't worry,

we'll be back for another round of thrills and spills

in the world of driving.

(CRASH)

Until next time, be safe.

And please be good to your kids.

(MACHINE WHIRS) Ow!

Dad!

Bye for now!
