look left again

wait is it safe is a car coming you

number - I'm number three all right then

number three it's safe nothing is coming

correct now we can cross the road

remember when you want to cross the road

Kevin yes what does this sign mean that

means you're coming to a motorway Marc

Hill is a motorway policeman he works on

the m1 the motorway that goes from

London to the north of England he starts

by telling us who can't drive on

motorways in Britain the people that

count are

learner drivers pedal cyclists

motorcyclists with a certain cc

motorcycle and agricultural vehicles and

also pedestrians are not allowed up on

the motorway

on average we deal with probably three

to four accidents per shift bearing in

mind we at over a 24-hour period we have

three shifts so multiply that by three

would give us the number of accidents we

probably deal with in a day we have to

make sure that persons who are injured

are catered for and the extent of their

injuries that is our first step you're

like me love no yeah

the second step is to clear the road as

quickly as possible to enable the

traffic to flow again we can try and

educate the motorists to drive better

they can look at our driving and perhaps

learn from that but also when we stop

the motorists advised them where they

could better themselves in certain areas

you're not used to driving on the hard

shoulder of course you can hit them

we've got a serious accident we get

pedestrians come down here you get bits

of exhaust left in here you'll see what

I mean I have a varied working day I

never know what I'm going to deal with

from one day to the next and deal with

numerous different people from numerous

walks of life and I don't think there's

any other job that can give you that

that experience okay Kevin one last one

what does this sign mean that means

you're at the end of the motorway that's

right

and we're at the end of the program

goodbye

you
