Speeders is an American traffic crime reality television program that was broadcast on truTV (then known as Court TV at the time of this show's debut). The program debuted in the mid-2007, and aired through 2009.
Unlike the more action-packed and felony-oriented show COPS, this program consists of clips of individuals being pulled over for minor offenses, most commonly speeding, as well as other things such as seat belt and other equipment violations, and is more comedy-oriented. The entertainment is derived from the interaction between the offender and the police officers. More specifically, the excuses that offenders give for why they allegedly committed the violation. To wrap up most episodes, a "Classic Clip" is shown, where they show a police dashcam video about a routine stop. These videos originate from the 90's and were filmed by various police departments.
