Car Crash Britain: Caught on Camera speeds to ITV tonight

Much like an actual car crash, viewers won’t be able to turn away from this gripping documentary series
Belt up: Car Crash Britain is set to be a bumpy ride

If crashes, lucky escapes, and bad driving weren’t heart-pumping enough, Car Crash Britain goes one step further to play into our morbid curiosity.

Close calls are recounted through victim and eyewitness interviews and first-person footage. We are placed into the driver’s seat to bring our empathy levels to a whole other level.

Anecdotes cover a father’s life-saving driving abilities and a cyclist who transforms potholes into miniature gardens.

Robin survived when her car crashed into a ditch and began filling with water. Her haunting 999 call, riddled with panic, is the stuff of most people’s nightmares.

She revisits the scene of the crime a week after the incident for Car Crash Britain. She describes her thought process at the time: “This won’t happen to me. I won’t have an accident.”

Her words are a chilling reminder that none of us are invincible, that it could in fact happen to any of us.

However, we have a feeling that Car Crash Britain will leave us running for the nearest method of public transport.

ITV, 9pm
