0:00:01 > 0:00:02You OK there? She'll be all right, don't worry.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06Rural Britain has some of the most challenging environments
0:00:06 > 0:00:07in the world.
0:00:07 > 0:00:11In Scotland, the mountains, lochs and coastline encourage
0:00:11 > 0:00:14tourists and locals to get out into the wilds.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17But with that comes danger.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Keep your arms by your side!
0:00:23 > 0:00:26The emergency services north of the border
0:00:26 > 0:00:29have to deal with extreme challenges every day.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Driving in the United Kingdom,
0:00:31 > 0:00:34you have to have a full British driving licence.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37From severe weather and treacherous terrain...
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Can you bend your elbow? Not really.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43..to covering huge distances on country roads
0:00:43 > 0:00:44with time against them.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46So just get him out, ASAP.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49They work around the clock,
0:00:49 > 0:00:53battling against some of the most difficult situations.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58We'll be right at the heart of the action -
0:00:58 > 0:01:01side by side with Air Rescue saving lives,
0:01:01 > 0:01:04on the road with paramedics caring for the injured
0:01:04 > 0:01:07and following the police fighting crime,
0:01:07 > 0:01:10as the emergency services work together
0:01:10 > 0:01:15to pick up, patch up and protect the public in rural communities.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18This is Countryside 999.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Coming up. Whose vehicle is this?
0:01:38 > 0:01:42Illegal drivers beware, as traffic police patrol Britain's roads.
0:01:42 > 0:01:47OK, this is indicating to me that you have had alcohol, and you've failed.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Rural paramedics face terrible driving conditions
0:01:49 > 0:01:52when dealing with an emergency call.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Little scratch on the arm, just keep still for me. Oh!
0:01:56 > 0:01:58That's it, just relax.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01And it's agony on the slopes,
0:02:01 > 0:02:03for the casualties of the Cairngorm Ski Patrol.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07Oh, my God!
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Every year in the UK, over 13,000 accidents
0:02:20 > 0:02:23are caused by people driving too fast.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Dumfries and Galloway has over 2,500 miles
0:02:29 > 0:02:30of major and minor roads.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34And the traffic police here are on the clamp-down.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37You've been stopped for using a mobile phone when driving.
0:02:37 > 0:02:42You need to move from there, buddy. I'll tell her to get her belt on.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46Today, PC Ian Nish and PC Scott McCreadie
0:02:46 > 0:02:49are patrolling one of the busiest roads on their patch.
0:02:49 > 0:02:54The A75 is the main road to and from Stranraer -
0:02:54 > 0:02:56the second busiest port in the UK.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58It's a popular route with HGV drivers.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01BEEPING
0:03:01 > 0:03:0355 for the heavy.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06It's not long before they spot a lorry breaking the speed limit.
0:03:06 > 0:03:13What we've got is the first HGV travelling at 55mph.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16On an A class road they are restricted 40.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20So he's travelling in excess of 15 miles over the speed limit.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Well, man, I've stopped you in relation to your speed this morning.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31Could you just jump into the passenger side behind my colleague, please?
0:03:31 > 0:03:36Scott and Ian have 12 years' experience on the road between them.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40And both know the dangers speeding HGVs pose in rural areas.
0:03:42 > 0:03:47With the driver in the back, Ian smells something suspicious.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48IAN SNIFFS
0:03:48 > 0:03:50IAN INHALES
0:03:52 > 0:03:55OK, because you've committed a moving road traffic offence,
0:03:55 > 0:03:56OK, I'm going to require you,
0:03:56 > 0:03:59under the terms of Section 6 of the Road Traffic Act 1988,
0:03:59 > 0:04:01to provide a specimen of breath for analysis.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Do you understand? Yes.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Have you had a drink within the last 20 minutes -
0:04:06 > 0:04:08of alcohol in the last 20 minutes?
0:04:08 > 0:04:09No.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Have you ever used this device before?
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Right, no bother. Well, hold on to it. If you just lean forward.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21Just keep going. Keep going.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. OK. And relax.
0:04:26 > 0:04:27OK, it's analysing just now.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35OK, this is indicating to me that you've had alcohol and you're a fail.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38So I arrest you for failing the roadside breath test.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Do you understand?
0:04:43 > 0:04:48In 2011, drink-driving killed over 280 people.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52This driver earns his living behind the wheel of a 44-tonne lorry.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55So this mistake could cost him his job.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58More worryingly, it could have cost the lives of other road users.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03The officers take him into custody.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06If he fails further tests at the police station,
0:05:06 > 0:05:08he could face disqualification,
0:05:08 > 0:05:11a five grand fine or even a stint behind bars.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Back at the station, officers have a more accurate breathalyser machine
0:05:18 > 0:05:20which is fully calibrated.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23The suspect must give two more examples
0:05:23 > 0:05:27and the law dictates the lowest reading is used.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30So just a deep breath and then keep blowing
0:05:30 > 0:05:33and try and hold it around about here, OK?
0:05:33 > 0:05:36A big, deep breath. And blow.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Nearly there. Well done. That's it. Right, that's the first one done.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47Let you catch your breath back. So just looking for the same again.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04OK, that's you. Relax.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08It's a tense time for the driver.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13It's illegal to drive a vehicle with more than
0:06:13 > 0:06:1635 micrograms of alcohol per litre of breath,
0:06:16 > 0:06:19but prosecution only follows if his lowest reading
0:06:19 > 0:06:21is over 39 micrograms.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33You've provided two readings of 39 and 36.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38And we obviously use the lowest reading. So your lowest one is 36.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43It's a relief for the truck driver.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Although the reading means he's unfit to drive,
0:06:45 > 0:06:47he's under the prosecutable limit,
0:06:47 > 0:06:50but he'll still be charged for speeding.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52It's not acceptable.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55You're still driving a 44-tonne lorry
0:06:55 > 0:06:58whilst over the alcohol limit for driving.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11The driver is locked up until his alcohol level drops.
0:07:11 > 0:07:16He revealed to the police that he had a vodka at eight this morning.
0:07:16 > 0:07:21Now he is free to go, the reality of the situation hits home.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50It's disgusting driving a large goods vehicle
0:07:50 > 0:07:51whilst under the influence.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55We'll also inform the Traffic Commissioner of Scotland
0:07:55 > 0:07:58in relation to his driving authority.
0:07:58 > 0:08:03The Traffic Commissioner can revoke HGV, LGV driving licences
0:08:03 > 0:08:06if they think the driver's not a fit and proper person.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Today, that person's fell into the category.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11He's not a fit and proper person to drive that lorry.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23One fifth of the UK population lives in the countryside.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26The more scattered the villages and towns,
0:08:26 > 0:08:29the more ground the emergency services have to cover.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37Paramedics in rural areas often have much further to travel
0:08:37 > 0:08:39than their counterparts in the cities.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48Based in the Dumfries and Galloway town of Castle Douglas,
0:08:48 > 0:08:49it's the early shift
0:08:49 > 0:08:52for ambulance crew Andy Chappell and Charlie Walker,
0:08:52 > 0:08:54who are on a 999 callout.
0:08:55 > 0:09:00They've given us an emergency, a possible stroke.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Um, a town called Dalry.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Jessie, a 91-year-old woman,
0:09:08 > 0:09:12has suffered a suspected stroke and needs urgent medical attention.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15SIREN WAILS
0:09:17 > 0:09:19One of the things with stroke patients,
0:09:19 > 0:09:22is the sooner we get them up to A,
0:09:22 > 0:09:25the sooner they can start definitive treatment.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29They were on their way to a non-emergency job
0:09:29 > 0:09:30in the opposite direction,
0:09:30 > 0:09:33when they were redirected to this 999 callout.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37They now need to navigate 35 miles of narrow, winding roads.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41We're on single rural roads a lot of the time.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45Um, we don't have the benefit of dual carriageways.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49So our response times sometimes can be slower just due to the...
0:09:49 > 0:09:53the actual layouts of to road and the weather as well.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56It slows us down quite dramatically sometimes.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58A study has shown if a stroke patient
0:09:58 > 0:09:59is treated within 90 minutes,
0:09:59 > 0:10:03it can more than double their chances of a good recovery.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05So the pressure's on to get there fast.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Everybody's being considerate this morning.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11From the 999 call,
0:10:11 > 0:10:14it takes the ambulance 37 minutes to get to Jessie's house.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18Hello, Jessie.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21She's confused and in some pain.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26Do you feel any pins or needles anywhere? Or any numbness or anything? No.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Just that back pain?
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Oh, dear. OK, chicken, we'll get you sorted out.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33And he needs to get Jessie ready for
0:10:33 > 0:10:36transfer to hospital as soon as possible.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Especially if she's had a stroke.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54Low temperatures and icy roads can be a recipe for disaster.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58So in the winter, police officers keep their eyes peeled
0:10:58 > 0:11:01for unroadworthy vehicles that might not be in tiptop condition.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08Dumfries and Galloway traffic police are based in Lockerbie,
0:11:08 > 0:11:12near the M74 motorway bridging England and Scotland.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Road-policing officer Cammy Thompson
0:11:18 > 0:11:21is carrying out routine vehicle checks on the motorway
0:11:21 > 0:11:23with his colleague PC Hazel Smith.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27They've spotted a red Honda and decide to run a check on it.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30RADIO:
0:11:34 > 0:11:35That's received. Thank you.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37It's an older sort of vehicle,
0:11:37 > 0:11:39so just stop it
0:11:39 > 0:11:42and make sure it's the person who's insured to drive it
0:11:42 > 0:11:44and have a quick check of its wheels and tyres
0:11:44 > 0:11:46with all the bad weather that's forecast.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53Hello there. Nothing to worry about, just a routine stop.
0:11:53 > 0:11:54Who's vehicle is it?
0:11:57 > 0:12:01The car contains three men heading back to Stirling from London.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Cammy asks to see the driver's licence.
0:12:04 > 0:12:05Turkish licence, yes?
0:12:05 > 0:12:10Do you have a UK licence? No, OK.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14It looks like there's a serious issue with his driving licence.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19And then Cammy sniffs out something else.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23And who's got the cannabis on them?
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Who's got the cannabis?
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Do you want to give it to me?
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Where is it?
0:12:30 > 0:12:33OK, do you want to...? Is it in your jacket, is it?
0:12:36 > 0:12:37Right.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42With a small amount of cannabis and drug paraphernalia
0:12:42 > 0:12:44found in the back of the car,
0:12:44 > 0:12:45Cammy needs some answers.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Who bought this? We found it in London, sir.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51We've just come from London. You found it? Yeah, we find it.
0:12:51 > 0:12:52Right, OK.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55As the drugs are next to the back-seat passenger,
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Cammy and Hazel take him to the patrol car.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02Can you just jump in the back?
0:13:02 > 0:13:05OK, sir, can you tell me who this here belongs to?
0:13:12 > 0:13:13OK, what is this?
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Where did you get it from?
0:13:22 > 0:13:23Right.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33How much did you pay for this?
0:13:33 > 0:13:39And is this here just for personal use?
0:13:39 > 0:13:43Admitting to possession of cannabis, the passenger is cautioned
0:13:43 > 0:13:45and will be reported to the court.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47For now, he's free to go.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Later, Cammy and Hazel question the driver
0:13:51 > 0:13:54and find out all is not as it seems.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Do you have a British driving licence?
0:13:59 > 0:14:00Do you have a provisional?
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Scotland is home to Britain's most mountainous regions.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15Inaccessible, rugged terrain makes for challenging
0:14:15 > 0:14:18conditions for the emergency services.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Especially in the freezing winters.
0:14:21 > 0:14:27But these peaks are a huge draw to millions of visitors a year -
0:14:27 > 0:14:33many heading to ski and snowboard on Cairngorm Mountain.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37And keeping them safe are the Cairngorm Ski Patrollers.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42It's minus four degrees centigrade.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Ski Patroller Eric Pirie is heading out to rescue
0:14:45 > 0:14:47a skier with a dislocated shoulder.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53'Got a report that there was somebody injured, so I was dispatched
0:14:53 > 0:14:55'and it's just a case'
0:14:55 > 0:14:57of finding where the patient is.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08Eric finds the casualty, Scott, on his feet but in a lot of pain.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10How's your pain level at the moment?
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Scott has dislocated his left shoulder,
0:15:15 > 0:15:17one of the most painful injuries
0:15:17 > 0:15:18the Ski Patrollers have to deal with.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20It goes straight down and hurts a bit.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24Eric offers Scott Entonox, a painkilling gas,
0:15:24 > 0:15:28the same gas used by some women in childbirth.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32'It's a case of loading people on as quickly as we can,
0:15:32 > 0:15:33'get them stabilised, and splinted
0:15:33 > 0:15:36'and loading them on the sledge to get them out of the environment'
0:15:36 > 0:15:41because it's limited what we can do with temperature and wind.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44It was quite exposed where he was. He was already quite cold.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47'So the priority was more hypothermia rather than his injuries.'
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Can you bend your elbow? Can you bend your elbow? Not really.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53There you go. BLEEP!
0:15:53 > 0:15:55OK. I've got it. I'm not moving it.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59It turns out Scott has dislocated his shoulder six times before
0:15:59 > 0:16:01and is awaiting surgery.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04If you guys want to organise transport to Aviemore Health Centre that would be...
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Yeah, we've got a vehicle ready to go.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10We'll just get him straight down there, that would be the best way.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14It's not serious enough to call an accident and emergency ambulance.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15He's in a lot of pain.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19Fortunately, he's a tough lad, the group he's with have a minibus,
0:16:19 > 0:16:22so that's great, he's got his own transport.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Getting off the mountain is slow.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29The ride is agonising for Scott,
0:16:29 > 0:16:32who takes regular doses of the Entonox.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38There's a bump there. Oh, my God.
0:16:42 > 0:16:43Nearly there now.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50They get him to the funicular railway by rescue sledge
0:16:50 > 0:16:52in less than ten minutes -
0:16:52 > 0:16:55long enough for someone with a dislocated shoulder.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59His friends were with him when he fell.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05He put his hand down to stand up and popped his shoulder out.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07It's a shame it didn't pop back in straightaway.
0:17:07 > 0:17:08Once it wouldn't go back in,
0:17:08 > 0:17:12then he obviously realised he was in trouble.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16The Entonox is helping the pain, and he's not shy of using it.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20You're not doing nearly well enough,
0:17:20 > 0:17:22you've still got half a canister left.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33Put your hand over my shoulders, just in case you slip.
0:17:35 > 0:17:36No, don't grab that arm.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42The last part of his journey is on the mountain funicular,
0:17:42 > 0:17:44with only Entonox to ease the bumps.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04Scott takes so much gas and air that there's very little left
0:18:04 > 0:18:06when they get him to the bottom of the mountain.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18He can't overdose on the Entonox in the cylinder,
0:18:18 > 0:18:20but he soon discovers it's strong stuff.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Spinning a bit? Yeah.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32That's the Entonox.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Finally, at the foot of the mountain,
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Scott can go to hospital by minibus.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42OK, guys. Let us know how he gets on, eh?
0:18:47 > 0:18:49He just about finished the cylinder,
0:18:49 > 0:18:51he was right down just touching the red.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55It was a brand-new cylinder at the top, so that's a good effort.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59That's a fairly... Fair amount of pain relief required
0:18:59 > 0:19:00when you're sooking that hard.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03But, again, because he'd done it so many times,
0:19:03 > 0:19:05he was very familiar with using Entonox,
0:19:05 > 0:19:07and it seemed to work for him.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10And you noticed he was maybe getting a wee bit giggly at the bottom,
0:19:10 > 0:19:12so that's one of the classic side effects.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Near Castle Douglas, south-west Scotland,
0:19:35 > 0:19:40ambulance crew Andy Chappell and Charlie Walker got a 999 call.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43SIREN WAILS
0:19:43 > 0:19:46They travelled 35 miles on winding country roads
0:19:46 > 0:19:49to reach their suspected stroke patient.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Hello, Jessie.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53You've had a bit of a funny turn this morning
0:19:53 > 0:19:55and Dr Jones has been to see you,
0:19:55 > 0:19:59so we're going to take you up to the hospital. Oh. OK? OK.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03So whereabouts is the pain in your back? It's a way down there.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08On one side or in the middle? In the middle. In the middle.
0:20:08 > 0:20:09We'll give you a bit of oxygen,
0:20:09 > 0:20:14then we'll get a chair and take you to the ambulance. OK. OK?
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Jessie has dementia.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20Andy and Charlie want to minimise her stress and pain
0:20:20 > 0:20:22for the long ambulance journey.
0:20:23 > 0:20:28Can you just put your arms together? That's great. That's fine.
0:20:28 > 0:20:29Feet up on there, Jessie,
0:20:29 > 0:20:33and we'll just wrap you up cos it's rainy and cold outside.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Put this belt round you, save you running away.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40It's not far as the crow flies,
0:20:40 > 0:20:43but it's over an hour's drive to the hospital,
0:20:43 > 0:20:47so the crew moves swiftly to get Jessie into the ambulance.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49There we go. Oh, it's cold.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Cold? It'll soon warm up. The heating's on.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Oh.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02You're in the ambulance and we're going to take you up to the hospital.
0:21:02 > 0:21:03Oh, dear.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07It's a worrying time for daughter-in-law Margaret.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15You OK there? She'll be all right, don't worry.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19Margaret called the doctor earlier, as Jessie was not her usual self.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23Jessie got up this morning, she went to the toilet,
0:21:23 > 0:21:25had a wee glass of water with her tablet,
0:21:25 > 0:21:28then she had a cup of tea with a biscuit
0:21:28 > 0:21:31and then she just went over
0:21:31 > 0:21:35and that was basically why the boys found her.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37So she wouldn't normally be this confused, then? No.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40I'll give you something for your pain in your back now. Right.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44Is it still bad? It is a bit sore. It is a bit sore, OK.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48I don't know right what happened. They think it's a mini stroke.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52OK, a little scratch on your arm, just keep still for me.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53OK?
0:21:53 > 0:21:57Oh! That's it. Just relax.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59SIREN WAILS
0:22:04 > 0:22:06We're travelling on blue lights because, with it being a stroke,
0:22:06 > 0:22:10it's kind of time-critical from when it first happened.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11The sooner we get her to A,
0:22:11 > 0:22:15the sooner we can give her more definitive treatment,
0:22:15 > 0:22:18if that's what they diagnose it as being.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21We should be there in five minutes. Good.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23We'll get you on a bit more comfortable bed.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27How's your back? Not bad, it's my feet that are cold.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29It's what, sorry? My feet that are cold.
0:22:29 > 0:22:34It's your feet that's cold, your back's OK now? Good.
0:22:37 > 0:22:38So we'll get you in the hospital
0:22:38 > 0:22:42and get the doctor to have a look at you, get you sorted.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46The ambulance crew hand over Jessie's care to the A team.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49There you go, Jessie.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Is it still sore?
0:22:51 > 0:22:54She's confused but she's got dementia as well, so...
0:22:54 > 0:22:58But the daughter says she's not normally confused,
0:22:58 > 0:23:00it's very different today.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Just going to pop this on your ear, Jessie. Thank you very much.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04Thanks very much, guys.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Thanks very much. No bother. Thank you.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10'I was quite pleased to see the doctors'
0:23:10 > 0:23:12and the ambulance people.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16And now the girls are looking after her.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Thanks to paramedics Andy and Charlie,
0:23:19 > 0:23:21who pulled out all the stops
0:23:21 > 0:23:24on a 70-mile round trip in challenging driving conditions,
0:23:24 > 0:23:28Jessie's now in the best possible care.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Road conditions weren't very good.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36The wind and the rain, and you've really got to concentrate 100%
0:23:36 > 0:23:41because of the type of rural roads - you've got tractors,
0:23:41 > 0:23:43you've got slow-moving vehicles.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46You've got a lot of junctions and a lot of bends
0:23:46 > 0:23:48and one thing and another.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50But we got there safely.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Get her back on her feet with a bit of luck.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00SHE SIGHS
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Back on the motorway, PCs Cammy Thompson and Hazel Smith
0:24:12 > 0:24:16have pulled a driver over in a routine vehicle check.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19One of his passengers has been caught with drugs.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21OK, what is this?
0:24:23 > 0:24:25But that's not all.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28The driver says he only has a Turkish licence.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31So he's up next for scrutiny.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38This is your driving licence, yes?
0:24:38 > 0:24:42Do you have a British driving licence?
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Do you have a provisional?
0:24:46 > 0:24:49And how long have you lived in the United Kingdom for?
0:24:53 > 0:24:54Right. OK.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58A Turkish driving licence is not an EU approved driving licence
0:24:58 > 0:25:00for the United Kingdom.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02To drive in the United Kingdom
0:25:02 > 0:25:04you have to have a full British driving licence
0:25:04 > 0:25:06within a year of coming here.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09So if you've been here for 15 years, for the last 14 of those
0:25:09 > 0:25:14you should have been driving on a full British driving licence.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16You know that, yes? Yes. OK.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20With only a UK provisional licence,
0:25:20 > 0:25:24the driver should be displaying L plates and be accompanied
0:25:24 > 0:25:26by somebody with a full UK licence.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30The front-seat passenger, what licence does he have?
0:25:30 > 0:25:31Does he have a British licence?
0:25:31 > 0:25:34No, he's got, er, Turkish licence. OK.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Without an accompanying driver,
0:25:37 > 0:25:39he shouldn't have been behind the wheel,
0:25:39 > 0:25:41let alone on the motorway.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45You're not supervised and you're on a motorway,
0:25:45 > 0:25:47so what's your reason for driving today?
0:25:51 > 0:25:52Right.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56OK, sir. Can you tell me who the owner of this car is?
0:25:56 > 0:25:59And did your father give you permission to drive
0:25:59 > 0:26:00this vehicle today?
0:26:01 > 0:26:06No. OK, we'll need to speak to your father as well.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09The plot keeps thickening.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Are you insured to drive this car?
0:26:12 > 0:26:15And who's the insurance company?
0:26:15 > 0:26:16You're not quite sure.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Did you tell the insurance company that you're
0:26:19 > 0:26:20a holder of a provisional licence?
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Sir, what's going to happen now is,
0:26:37 > 0:26:41a report will go off to the court - OK? -
0:26:41 > 0:26:46with a charge on it, and the charge will be, you did drive this
0:26:46 > 0:26:49vehicle with a provisional licence and you're not being supervised.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53Do you want to say anything in reply to that charge?
0:26:53 > 0:26:55You may also get reported for taking
0:26:55 > 0:26:58and driving your father's car without his permission
0:26:58 > 0:27:00and driving with no insurance.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03But we don't know that until we've done some further enquiries.
0:27:03 > 0:27:04All right?
0:27:06 > 0:27:08The vehicle is seized.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10The officers drop the driver and passengers
0:27:10 > 0:27:12at a nearby service station
0:27:12 > 0:27:15so they can make other arrangements to continue their journey.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19The owner of the car will need to provide the correct documentation
0:27:19 > 0:27:22and pay the recovery costs before they can get it back.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26And the driver may be facing more than one charge.
0:27:56 > 0:28:01It's been all go for the emergency services in Scotland's rural areas.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06The man caught driving illegally on the motorway was reported
0:28:06 > 0:28:10to the Crown Office, who dished out an appropriate penalty.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15The lorry driver is having his case referred to the Traffic Commissioner.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17He may lose his HGV licence.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Jessie is back at home, being looked after by her family.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27And the injured skier received treatment for his shoulder in hospital.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31And you thought it was quiet in the countryside.
