Police, Camera, Action!

Gethin Jones is at the helm of an action packed, fresh new format as the revamped Police, Camera, Action! returns to ITV1 with four new programmes this summer.  

Every show tackles head on a different issue currently affecting Britain’s road safety including speeding, distracted driving, young drivers and sleep deprived lorry drivers.  

In each programme Gethin meets drivers who admit to taking risks behind the wheel.  In-car camera footage shows how reckless their driving can be.  The series challenges them to confront the reality of the dangers they pose to themselves and others in hard-hitting tests.  Gethin also meets families forced to live with the devastating consequences of criminal driving and introduces them to the drivers who, hearing their tragic stories, are left to reflect on their own habits on the road.

And Gethin admits to his own past driving mistakes, speeding and using a mobile phone. He demonstrates the potential danger of one of them, speeding, along with other transgressions by getting behind the wheel in a series of experiments.   He compares the effect of texting whilst driving to the consequences of being over the drink driving limit and drives an HGV after just four hours of sleep to examine how devastating the consequences of sleep deprivation can be.  The shocking results of these challenges highlight just how easy it is to become a dangerous driver.
