Some drivers have taken speeding to terrifying extremes. Every weekend, all over the country, fast and furious boy racers gather to speed, hitting over 100mph on public roads. One of the most notorious locations is Lakeside in Essex. Filming with both the extreme speeders and Essex Police, we follow the officers of Operation Wagtail as they go undercover to try to catch boy racers breaking the law.

But while the night may belong to the boy racers, by day, a different kind of speeder hits the road: commuters. And Keith Smith, a Special Constable in Essex, has dedicated the last 17 years of his life to catching them. Filming him in action we see all the excuses, tears and tantrums as everyday motorists are caught exceeding the limits.

But Keith's not the only man making a stand. In a small village in Wiltshire, one member of the public has taken the law into his own hands to protect his family and fight back against the speeders who are ruining his village. Chris Fawcett is building his own fake DIY speed camera in his garage. But will it work?

Every day someone in Britain is killed by a speeding car, and the series ends with the tragic and poignant story of Liberty Baker, a 14-year-old girl killed whilst walking to school by a young speeding driver. Her heart-breaking story is a powerful reminder of the dangers and consequences of speeding. Liberty's parents are now campaigning to change the law and for the nation to take speeding more seriously, before it’s too late and more are killed on our roads.
