On the roads round one of the UK's drink driving hotspots, officers from the North Yorkshire Road Policing Group catch up with drivers who have had one too many, and all too often the traffic cops find themselves dealing with the consequences of the drunk and dangerous. Every year around 250 people die as a result of drink drive accidents on Britain's roads.

In Harrogate, its closing time at the pubs and a female driver who is three times over the limit has ploughed into a parked car. Officers quickly arrest the driver but have concerns over a missing passenger who fled the scene of accident. In Selby, when a pensioner crashes into a line of parked cars, residents call the cops with concerns that the driver is too drunk to drive. In a village nestled amongst the North Yorkshire Moors the police hunt down a man who has taken a tractor on a joyride. On the A1 motorway, a young mother is caught speeding at 97 mph, her excuse is that her child needs a wee. And, when there's a bad smash on one of Yorkshire busiest roads, the A64, traffic cop John Kendall has to close the road and call in a crash investigator when it becomes clear that there are life threatening injuries.
