Highway Patrol takes a rare fly-on-the-wall glimpse into the working lives of the Australian police officers who spend their days striving to keep our roads safe. From high-speed chases to violent conflicts and catching speeding drivers to investigating crash scenes, officers of the Victoria Police Traffic Units spend each day on the front line. As part of their job, the officers featured in Highway Patrol deal with drunken hooligans, defiant law breakers and simply lazy motorists, and they all pose an equal danger to themselves and others. These officers are passionate about their work, proud of what they do on a daily basis and invite viewers into their remarkable world in Highway Patrol.
Officers in pursuit of a speeding bike must call off the dangerous chase, however, it doesn't take them long to make a case breaking identification. Elsewhere, police are forced to restrain an angry passenger. And bizarre behaviour in a car attracts patrolling officer's attention.
An officer comes across a damaged car poorly parked in a shopping car park, yet the man behind the wheel claims he wasn't driving! A Senior Constable pulls over a driver behaving badly, who proceeds to drink in front of him. So it's no surprise he's double the legal limit. Then, a car is pulled up Senior Constable Jeremy Boncher for by driving in the hazard lane- so what's the driver's emergency?
Senior Constable Mick McCrann is called to find a driver who's crashed and left the scene. Mick spots the car and the driver admits from the start that he has had too much to drink. Senior Constable Christine Boseley pulls over a driver for not wearing a seatbelt and finds that the driver reeks of alcohol. After he refuses a breath test, he then proclaims that there is a mistake with the machine which is showing his past drink drink-driving convictions.
Senior Constable Rose is called to an accident where a motorcycle rider is in a critical condition after being run over while trying to go between two trucks. But, the truck drivers did not stop and the police are on the hunt to find the drivers and determine whether it was a hit-and-run, or whether they're unaware of the accident. Then, when Senior Constable Byrnes pulls over an unregistered car the driver attempts to do a runner.
A driver is caught doing 126kph in an 80 zone, and the Senior Constable soon discovers the car is also unregistered and has the wrong number plates. This adds up to a mountain of fines, but his biggest worry is getting the woman he's with home before her boyfriend finds out. A driver behaving badly is pulled over and decides to keep drinking, even though he's being breath tested! Two Senior Constables are on the tail of an unregistered bike. When the bike suddenly speeds off, the pursuit becomes dangerous, and they have no choice but to abandon it. They continue the hunt, tracking the address of the bike's owner and the story gets complicated.
Sergeants pull over a driver for failing to put on his headlights, but the driver takes a vow of silence on the advice of his passenger and refuses to say anything to the Police. A Senior Constable pulls over a car that's being driven erratically and runs a red light. Then, two Senior Constables pull over a driver traveling 54km over the speed limit. The Constables follow him while he weaves in and out of traffic. Once they pull him over his excuse is that he was speeding to get to the bathroom.
Senior Constables are called to a car with a flat tyre on the bridge. But their attempts to clear the bridge are hampered by a stubborn lollipop man. Senior Constable Kate Fisher spots a driver she's pulled over many times, this time on the phone, and he attempts to continue driving on a suspended licence. Senior Constable Terry Moore is in a marked police car when a driver screams out of a side street in front of him. But the driving isn't the worst offence this man commits tonight as Terry discovers when he opens the boot of the man's car.
A serious high speed head-on collision has left people trapped in both cars with serious injuries. The injured are airlifted to hospital and it takes some time to decipher the events from the chaos of the crash scene. But it becomes clear that what happened is every driver's great fear - a driver overtaking illegally straight into the path of the oncoming car. Meanwhile, a driver is caught doing 110kmh in a 70kmph zone. But he is so drunk he can't blow a breath test. Then, a driver caught speeding is so angry he speeds off from the intercept, giving himself another ticket.
