Highway Cops

New Season: Follow New Zealand's Highway Patrol as they tirelessly work their way up and down our country's varied and volatile highways and byways dealing with everything that's thrown their way.

A lucky escape near Lake Dunstan after a car plunges down a cliff; a truck vs car stand off on state highway one; and drivers across the Country cross the line

A cattle truck flip plunges livestock into a river and traps a steer beneath the wreckage, friends escape out the window when their car door won't open, and a pony on the loose in Twizel.

A reckless teen's speeding ends spectacularly; a caravan loses an essential part at the top of the Lindis Pass; and bad haircuts, bad language, and really bad behaviour in Nelson.

The Highway Cops deal with a rolled car in a ditch, a girl in a boot, and a meth pipe in a glovebox.

A speeding groom has lost his wife's wedding dress, a crafty driver makes his own license plates, and two thieves take the 'free' in freedom camping too far when they steal caravans.

A free ride becomes costly when the passenger realises his driver is drunk, and the hunt for a speeding driver starts with a funeral and ends in a graveyard.

A driver stopped for an expired WOF and registration ends up being arrested, Constable Alex Cully comes head-to-head with a driver on a one-lane bridge, and bald tyres do not make for a smooth ride in Ōtaki.

Motorheads in Timaru are rowdy and raising a ruckus, a young driver tries to give his license away, and a disqualified driver makes daytrips to the beach.

A hot-pool soak before hitting the road sends a driver to sleep, and there’s no social distancing when a short-tempered motorist gets up in Sergeant Martin’s face.

A truck is hit by an out-of-control hatchback – all caught on dashcam, a broken-down gent who could be the AA’s longest member, and driving three hours with a broken hand.

It’s a rough start to the New Year in for drivers who are still affected by the Eve’s partying.

A pirate runs aground on his way home, perilous parking in Nelson, and a bumper stumper with three different license plates.

Salmon secrets from a speeding fisher, a truck tumbles over a ledge, and a lame mustang blocks traffic on a Taranaki highway.

Call the fashion police! Lawbreakers are afoot and wearing mismatched shoes on the open road. Angle parking becomes angler parking when a campervan rolls down a riverbank.

Police and a rescue chopper must save swimmers before they are swept down the rapids. It’s good news for cats but bad news for pavlovas when a truck spills a full load of cream over the highway.
