Other mistake: As corvette guy races to get away from Ponch, the steering wheel breaks away, coming loose in his grip. Yet the car magically veers a sharp left before halting to a stop, instead crashing into the trees straight ahead of him.

Starring: Brodie Greer, Erik Estrada, Larry Wilcox, Robert Pine
Visible crew/equipment: A pick-up truck driver is driving recklessly, runs into the back of a light blue car and rolls over. The ramp attached to the back of the car is visible. Even in the next shot when the car driver gets out the car, the ramp is still there. Then in the next shot when Jon is trying to calm the driver down the ramp is gone. (00:05:45)
Trivia: Although many realistic freeway numbers and exits mentioned over the 2-way radio are real, they were not used in the show. An unused section of the 210 freeway (close to the 118 freeway) in the San Fernando Valley that wasn't quite open to the public yet, was the location nearly always shown on the show representing whatever location is mentioned. If you see many episodes, you can see the same section of freeway always shown.
