Nice to see someone who has been on the front line, right in the hot seat being in charge, instead of a clue less bean counter who is only there as it might help his promotion!! Well done Mick, and another great Vid Ben...

I was a member of a golf club in the late 90s early 2000s. We had many police officers as members. The normal officers had little to do with the traffic cops. “They’d book their owns mothers!” I hope things have changed.

The fact the force are integrating with your social media presence is significant and welcome. A worthy Chief, Nick should remain your go to for bringing modern Policing to the channel.

Ben have North Yorkshire traffic got the BMW 135i on the fleet due to BMW no longer providing any of the 3.0diesels in the 330 530 & X5 to UK police forces due to oil starvation problems is it all cars with the N54 diesel engine. West Yorkshire have still got 330d"s , while walking my dog at 4ish I've seen 1 today. In Wakefield recently I've seen Leon Cupra estate traffic car unmarked. Noticed the 135i had YJ all west Yorkshire cars start YJ in the registration plate. Ben watching the video you make your ex colleague look small either that or your huge , as usual great video .

A couple of questions: 1 How many takes to get that stack of cones out of the boot in one go without them getting stuck lol :) and 2: The stinger. Do you ever get loose "stings" that have been pulled from the main body but come out of the tyre scattered around the area especially after a tyre has shredded after some plonker carried on trying to drive?

@Titot182 11 ай бұрын

The boot... I seriously thought you had 2x12" Vibe speakers you've nabbed from Halfords, with some DIY custom amp setup... but they were just cones.

@uboweeg 11 ай бұрын

Had a 135 for 2.5 yrs, competent little car but it's front wheel drive until it looses grip when the rears come in so it doesn't drive like a RWD biased X-drive 3 or 4 series for instance like the 335D X-drive I had previously. As a result it does torque steer quite badly under acceleration which makes it a little less engaging to drive I guess. Benefits from selecting the active damper option from factory as well in terms of cornering as most BMW's do. Biggest gripe for me, as with most BMW's, is the throttle mapping in the different driving modes; be great to make it more linear across the modes and leave economy / performance to the gearbox - otherwise if you use the different modes you have to "learn" the throttle map under your foot. That and the steering wheel is way too chunky 😉
