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.
Senior Constable Dean Pickering is called to a nasty crash where two kids have stolen a car, with their reckless driving leading them to wrap the car around a tree. The driver is trapped in the car and as paramedics frantically try to free the boy, Constable Dean tries to work out just what these kids have been doing. Then, a driver is stopped in Epping for driving an unregistered car and it turns out to be no easy intercept.
The police are desperately trying to apprehend a female drink driver who has crashed a booze bus site. The speeding motorist just won't stop and with pursuing police unable to stop her, they decide to throw down stop sticks which should puncture all the offenders' car tyres. But it's a difficult and dangerous task on a dark, wet busy motorway.
An innocent member of the public is attacked by a man with a knife, while walking home from work. When the offender is found, he leads officers on a frantic foot chase through the streets of Maribyrnong. Then, when a young man decides to drift, he picks the wrong time and the wrong man to do it in front of.
Alcohol and testosterone can be an explosive combination and sure enough, things get well out of hand when a group of men gather to mourn their dead mate. Two young men decide to flaunt their illegally modified muscle car in front of two constables. A mother's attempt to teach her daughter to drive goes horribly wrong when the teenager drives smack, bang through the side of a house.
When a Sergeant pulls over a vehicle on a dark night in Bendigo, his partner spots a weapon in the car. Two Senior Constables are dealing with a speeding car with bald tyres. But even worse, there's an unrestrained toddler sitting in the passenger footwell and a stroppy driver with some fanciful excuses. A young man pulled over is excited to recognise the officer from TV. But will he be so happy when he finds out what's in store for him?
A traffic cop is used to abuse but when Senior Constable Russel Warner pulls over a driver, he gets a reaction like none other he's witnessed before. Senior Constable Jerome Murnane stops a car with two extremely stoned occupants. Not only are they wasted, with drugs inside their unregistered car, but Jerome's upset to learn they are driving around with a baby on board. Then, if you don't want attention from police, it pays not to drive past an officer, put your car in neutral and rev the life out of it
A traffic stop goes horribly wrong after a furious driver tries to attack the police.
Senior Constable Dean Pickering has seen a lot of young men die on the roads so he's enraged when he spots three carloads of teenagers racing each other and even worse, half climbing out of their vehicles at speed. Our best police officers rely on their gut instincts and Leading Senior Constable Mustafa Emin does just that when he spies a suspicious looking vehicle.
A man does a runner from the scene of a crash and when officers find him, it becomes clear why he wanted to evade police. Then, Police spot a car with stolen plates. The driver is homeless and sleeps in his car but it's what he cuddles up to that's the real concern. Then, officers are confronted with a naked driver and a car filled with porn and sex toys.
Officers are on the end of a drunken man's anger and police are left to deal with a tempestuous two-year-old who is refusing to obey the law.
Officers attend to a car crash with a heavily pregnant victim. Then, police catch two speedsters simultaneously and the cars they're driving have to be seen to be believed. Meanwhile, Senior Constables spot a speeder going outrageously fast. All in a day's work for them but the outcome for the driver will affect him for months to come.
A man is trapped inside his vehicle when it smashes into a pole with fears of electrocution. Then, two drivers ignore a Constable's attempt to pull them over and a minor collision turns into a major argument.
