The Motorway Cops come face-to-face with their worst nightmare as they are called to detain two women who are caught walking on the M6 motorway. As the PCs arrive the women make a run for it, into the path of a 44 tonne lorry. The accident forces a total closure of the M6 leaving motorists stranded in a 15 mile traffic jam and the cops locked in a life or death battle to save the injured women.

On the motorway, a moment's lapse of concentration can have devastating consequences and when a lorry is involved the results can be catastrophic. The Motorway Cops are called to an accident involving a 44 tonne lorry, causing traffic chaos and leaving three dead and many more injured.

PCs Griffiths and Toal are involved in a high-speed chase which takes them into Birmingham city centre, and PC Richard Elliot is called to a lorry park off the M6 where a gang has been disturbed while attempting to steal the load from the back of a lorry. Also, more than 20 motorway cops, a dog team and the West Midlands Police helicopter are involved in an operation to stop a gang involved in a cash-in-transit robbery.

The Motorway Cops are after runaway drivers including a stolen high performance car with a determined thief at the wheel. The thief is so determined that he risks a head-on crash as he drives the wrong way down the motorway, leaving the cops to launch a city-wide search for him.

The Motorway Cops help stop a stolen lorry on the rampage in the city centre. Elsewhere it's guile which catches people who are economical with the truth.
