Madness on the roads.
I saw a video this morning put up by Devon and Cornwall Police, they’ve apparently been doing an operation in the area asking for submissions of dangerous driving incidents.
This video they compiled I thought I would share which can be seen here:

Shocked

It's nice to see action was taken on the footage. It beggars belief how people drive.

I guess we all witness similar examples of dangerous driving. Good to see at least one police force getting to grips AND I’m impressed with the level of fines/penalty points handed out by the courts. It’s about time someone got tough with the selfish louts in our communities.

Quick google and it seems quite a few police forces are running similar campaigns.

Got to be worthwhile if it helps stop even one accident in the future Thumbs Up 2007 - Stornoway Grey 90 XS SW - Gone

I've submitted footage on 2 occasions. One was a car that overtook by going the wrong way round a roundabout and the other was was a guy on the wrong side of the road causing oncoming traffic to take to the curb to avoid a head on. Never heard a thing from either of them. Not even an acknowledgement.

Probably won't bother again. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

Currently going through an injury claim from an accident my other half had. Insurance are paying out because "we can't prove there wasn't an injury" Rolling Eyes
