- During the five day Operation Tramline ending on Friday 13 November 2020, officers working in collaboration with Highways England and supported by the Operations Patrol Unit and the Special Constabulary detected a record breaking 317 offences including 69 drivers who were using a handheld mobile phone whilst driving
I couldn't believe that lorry driver. He was even oblivious to the police car and sirens behind him.
I thought it was unbelievable level of multitasking
Pigs
Proves the point of how distracted drivers are whilst using a mobile device...
Driving licence from a Christmas cracker in a lax country, probably.
From abroad left hooker😮
Please do more of this! I am an hgv driver and I see it every single day! Keep up with the good work! 🙏👍🏻
Go back to sleep fool do you have a halo above your head?
Well done need more operations like this all over the U.K you have most probably saved someone's life today.
Great to see you taking action, it’s such a common sight on the M6 through Staffordshire and Cheshire.
It's such a common site everywhere in the country unfortunately.
These observation solo units are fantastic. Keep up the good work guys & make our roads safer for everyone. Respect.
HUGE fines and NINE points please. These dangerous distracted idiots need to be taken off the roads.
I very nearly had a head-on collision on a narrow road with a woman who was "playing" on her phone. I used my horn and braked simultaneously, she came out of her "phone stupor" and we stopped just inches apart. I didn't have a dashcam, if I had the footage would have gone to Roads Policing.
My flat looks over a busy T-junction and EVERY day I see people using their phones whilst turning, coming up to the give way markings etc.
Drivers just don't care - increase the fines and points for this offence - too many innocent people are killed by these selfish idiots.
Vehicles need to be fitted with signal blockers that activate when the vehicle's ignition is switched on. The chances of being caught by a police officer are practically zero.
@raithrover1976 can't be done. Companies use tracking or sat navigation that require mobile data.
Thank you - as a driver doing many miles all over the UK - this pro active approach to catch the dickhead drivers out there is appreciated
This is brilliant. As a motorcyclist these arrogant drivers pose a significant threat, even a bit of a swerve on a motorway could be major for us two wheelers. Keep up the great work.
A agree but motor bikes are far from innocent
Lol, sometimes when I'm driving my truck I turn the radio down to concentrate, I wouldn't even attempt to text whilst driving.
Me too, most likely when you are getting near to your drop 😂😂
People really don’t realise just how dangerous being on your phone or being generally distracted for a couple seconds can be. Punishments for this kind of thing need to higher
This is good policing. Phone users are a dangerous menace.
Two years on this behaviour is still prevalent across the UK. Much harsher penalties are long overdue.
Had the pleasure of one passing me on the M1 yesterday, I passed with flying colours but the two other trucks in front of me got pulled 😆
Touching a phone mounted on a dash is one thing, but this is outrageous
Could you let us know the punishments handed out if possible in future? Hopefully that will deter a few more. Good work!
Six points minimum..big insrance hike and possibly bye, bye job especially for the LGV driver's.
Shut up
@@Luton-Mick drivers
Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant proactive policing.
I do hope that this trial showed that a continual programme is needed for this type of work - thank you for the hard work to try and keep the rest of us safe!
Nothing can be that important that you need to text while driving
great work, great shame the penalties are woefully inadequate..£1000 fine & 12 months ban minimum...2nd offense permanent loss of license
Just Why Not Death, Make The Punishment Death. Come On You Have To Be Reasonable Now, The Only Fair Punishment Is Death Isn't It. Anything Else Is Woefully Inadequate.
@@johnparr347yrsand2 greame here is a fruit case
@@bigduphusaj162 If I could send you a yes meme I would mate.
Being high up in a cab,
Whenever you look down at a car/van
at the lights or roundabout...probably 50% of the time there's a phone in somebody's hand...that's a lot of vehicles!!!
I’m a HGV driver and had this happen to me today, wasn’t doing anything wrong but I tell you what it scares the shit out of you, deffo a wake up call!
Im curious to know how long it took the truck driver in the 2nd clip to realise the police were wanting to pull him over?
He’s still driving.
I drive thousands of miles a year, mostly motorway. While mobile phone use has diminished over the years there is still a huge issue with foreign drivers, especially lgv drivers from eastern europe.
And with their feet up or laptop on the dash.
Rubbish, plenty of UK drivers still do it
@@derf9465 Who said they didn't? Not me.
@@derf9465 Nobody said any different. Calm down Karen.
I hear you're a racist now, father
I am glad these guys are on our motorways it horrifies me watching people using the phone while driving a crash at those speeds is death-defying 😢
Permanent bans needed, refusal for insurance cover. Whatever it takes to keep these utter clown off the road.
From oblivious to oblivion, that’s how it happens.
Imagine driving along in a HGV and seeing an officer in a tractor unit next to you 😂😂
I just wish more Police Forces did this and published it on YT. Hampshire Police appear to be woefully under-resourced in this area as you see this multiple times every day. While you are at it remind the lane hogs that the outer lanes are there for overtaking. Well done Warwickshire Police.
It’s quite frightening to go driving on the road not knowing who you could be passing or being overtaken by someone not concentrating by using a phone, I certainly couldn’t drive and have a conversation with someone on a phone. And also try to concentrate on the situation around me whilst driving!….
I can talk on the phone while driving (Bluetooth obviously) but nothing in depth, nothing more than a quick call to say I’ll be delayed
We need more of this.
Hi guy this epic👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
I am pissing myself 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love videos like this, keep them coming! I love the way the unmarked car comes up from behind! Caught red handed
What i find dangerous right now is how many people tailgate in a 30mph zone then they go on the motorway and wont go above 45 to join a free flowing motorway
@LeVi they just dont care man im glad were allowed undertake them now if possible
This programme needs to be rolled-out across the country. Those forces who don't, please consider doing it for us, the public.
Yesterday, at about 6.15 I saw a car driving onto the m6 j23 southbound. The slip road is only short, and, has a concrete panel at the end due to ongoing roadworks. I use this every day, and even so, you treat it carefully or else. In front of me was an idiot who had his phone on a dash cradle, scrolling through photos! While joining the m6! .
Keep this good work up.
I'm a coach driver and see this all the time keep up the good work 👏
That’s truly unbelievable.
Absolutely great work chaps! You should be doing this every day and maybe the message will get through to these ignorant selfish morons that it is completely unacceptable behaviour and they WILL get caught. An automatic 6 month ban, car impounded and sold at auction with the proceeds used to support more detection should be mandated for this crime.
Fantastic work lads , there's no excuse for anyone on their phone , we need more of these , police in undercover HGV s also a good idea for catching drivers have a policeman on the bus watching out for phone users around towns
Shocking stuff, well done police!!
The geezer with the broken straps, texting, and no seatbelt possesses a very impressive level of stupidity, his bank balance must have taken a large hit after they were finished with him..
He'll just have toddled-off back to his own country with little consequences if he never returns.
Keep up the good work, personally I think these people should have their phones confiscated
Phones - and their cars impounded close to where they were caught out. With release fees in the thousands.
I've seen some scary stuff here that that lot beats everything. Makes me scared to use a motorway which together with no hard-shoulders means I now clutter up B roads & pretty towns & villages to make my journeys, prepared to allow for the extra time & mileage(cost).
Filmed in 2020! I’m a delivery driver in Wales and I see this every frickin day here in 2024! It’ll never stop unless phone signals are cut in vehicles somehow?
This makes me so cross. The lack of focus on driving while on the phone is so disturbing.
Brilliant operation by Warwickshire Police.
When a driver is not completely in control of the vehicle it becomes more like a weapon that can injure and kill. If someone was on foot with a weapon visible they would be a danger to everyone nearby and would be challenged and apprehended. The same should happen to these dangerous morons.
A very good example of the police serving the public good and enhancing road safety
I also wish they'd also sort out middle lane hoggers. That's a video I would love to see
30 mins later the truck driver receives a traffic notification on his phone: "tractor causes 3 hour delay on motorway with multiple casualties". 'Oh dear good job I missed that!' Proceeds to play games on his phone
I absolutely love the way the police catch bad drivers. Sone of these drivers should be banned for life.
The police need more of these tractor units, the only way they can see into the cabs of hgvs,good work more needed.
Just make it a instant ban and a big fine
I want a TV show just for this.
We see this all the time in Yorkshire counted 9 people on the mobile in one short journey and we saw two men sat in the boot facing forward which of course has no seat belts.
Good work 👍 get these dangerous people off our roads
Excellent idea, never suspect an HGV😮
Well done guys, couldn’t believe that lorry driver on the phone and didn’t even notice the police car behind?
Who ever created the mobile also created a monster
UK has using phone whilst driving epidemic. 6 points not enough of a deterrent. Vehicle seizures and destroyed only deterrent!!!
Do you mainly use the lorry for motorways cuz I’ve never seen this thing before
We need to see the footage of them getting pulled over as well and the b/s excuses they try to use to justify it 😂
I see so many people on their phones, it’s actually crazy.
Glad to see the police do this because the amount of devastation to innocent families this distraction can cause is incalculable. Ban them for life I’d say for risking life! Well done @warrickshirepolice
That's awesome.
We need that here in Australia.
Finally, I can say that for once the cops are doing something constructive.
It is more than likely do have that in oz. It is just that they have not caught you ....... yet. 😅
I saw a clip years ago, where Australian Police, were using motorbikes to catch drivers on their phones in traffic
Could you take our illegal migrants we have here to Australia also.
@@stuartdove8814
That is a negative.
Great to see you taking action, it’s such a common sight.
Fantastic to see this. Just a shame you guys aren't patrolling all over the place, because I see idiots driving in excess of the speed limit whilst on their phones.
What speed it this tractor unit set at?
Insurance companies should have access to these videos with info on vehicle registration numbers.
I only go on the M4 maybe twice a week, and I am always seeing people weaving about who are on mobile phones when O overtake them.
This needs rolling out nationwide
Police get a lot of disrespect from the public for going after people for what they deem minor offences. When families get struck by a hgv with a driver playing on a phone all of a sudden it's a different perspective. Keep up the good work
I don't see it as a minor offence, as a motorcyclist, i see this as something which could kill a rider, in fact a female friend of mine lost her left leg above the knee because a driver was on her phone. You are more likely to be hit by a driver on their phone during the day, than a drunk driver
I would love to be driving your truck, is it restricted like usual 56mph?
It is terrifying, how much people are don't paying attention while driving
We need more of these trucks on the motorways. Driving is a privilege, not a right.
well done dibble keep up the good work
Are police Lorries de-restricted to keep up with other traffic? Or are they still limited to 56?
Keep up the good work lads.
This is brilliant
Thats great work Warwickshire Police . No wonder accidents happen with irresponsible people using mobiles behind the wheel.
Great to see. Maybe when people see they are being seen and prosecuted, they may start leaving the phone in their pocket.
"Handling a mobile phone whilst driving - You may just as well be handling a loaded gun, because you are every bit as lethal".
But its ok to use the 26 inch screen in a Tesla etc various apps sat nav we need to get rid of the hypocrisy as well and manafacturers need a kick up the proverbial.
@@Fatpig-fq3vb now now that tesla screen has the same function as the dials in your regular center console so I presume you also want to ban radios or restrict their ability to be changed whilst driving.
@@oisinmtom No not all but tell me if I plough into something somebody etc while changing those dials how is that different to any other form of distraction like for eg using a mobile phone distraction is distraction right? But one is a points plus prosecution no argument the other has to be a contributory factor which has to connected with the event
Excellent work, time to rid the roads of these selfish, inconsiderate and dangerous drivers.
£2.000 fine and 6 month ban would be more of a deterrent
Great stuff. If my phone rings, so what? If it's a medical emergency with one of the family, what the hell can I do behind the wheel of a car miles from the event? I don't live by, or for, the phone.
That tractor wasn't even strapped down at the back
That lorry driver, so oblivious??!!!
How fast is that hgv? If its limited like the normal ones how can they pull alongside other hgvs?
Well obviously its not limited!
The other truck could have just been doing 50 while he was on his phone, whilst the police truck could have been doing 56. As far as im aware not even police trucks can be un limited. The max any truck can do on uk roads is 60 mph
@Jay Gilroy unless you knock it out of gear down a hill then you can do 80 lol
@@richlee509 hah yeah you could i suppose but i wouldnt wanna get caught with that speed on the tacho, its bye bye liscense
@@jtwin1000 what? No it isn't 😂 you cannot get done for speeding retrospectively in the UK. I do 80+ coming down the A66 hills 4 times a week.
How fast can you go in that truck with speed muffler gone
Do they get pulled over ?
Well done lads..
I driven a lot on our motorways/roads and other than litter on the verge’s,idiots on phone 📞 really do my head in ..
Makes me wonder what speed this Police truck was being used considering that the legal speed limit is 56
What a stupid observation! The legal limit on a Motorway is 70 but their patrol cars go much faster than that, they have special dispensation because of who they are and what they're doing! Keep up!
Keep it up that is one think a hate people been on phones when driving my mate was killed by someone on there phone on the m6 😢
Just needed a marked unit for that left hand drive truck , seeing as he couldn't see the flashing lights or hear the siren
People drive by my house every its a narrow residential street, from my upstairs window i see them on their phones.
These drivers sicken me. I would like to see them banned.
This is absolutely shocking 👹
Excellent....... no excuse for it.....
I don’t understand why are they still using the phones while driving?
I live in Copenhagen denmark and see this all the time it pisses me off when us other drivers obey the law and haft to put up with them and the cyclists are no better with headphones on and no lights and its the poor car and truck drivers fault if you touch them the cyclists is like a god here in Copenhagen denmark i call them the untouchables it's very rare you see the police stopping them.
Not been to Londonstan ?
Thanks for your service.
These need to be on all motorways especially the m20 and m25
GREAT WORK AAAAA+++++
