Drivers can now report dangerous driving by submitting dashcam or CCTV footage to police. This initiative aims to improve road safety and hold reckless drivers accountable.
West Midlands: Dangerous driving can really frustrate motorists. Speeding, running red lights, and tailgating are just a few examples. It’s not just annoying; it can be dangerous.
Now, there’s a way for drivers to take action. If you see reckless driving, you can report it to the police. You can send in dashcam, mobile phone, or CCTV footage to help catch these drivers.
Police are eager to use this footage. They want the public to help keep an eye on the roads. This means that if someone is driving dangerously, they could get caught on camera.
To submit footage, you need to do it within 10 days. It’s best to send the entire incident if you can. Just search for West Midlands Police Operation Snap to find out how.
This initiative has support from Sandwell Council. Councillor Keith Allcock emphasizes the importance of safe streets for everyone. He encourages people to share any footage of bad driving.
However, it’s crucial to gather footage safely. Don’t film while driving, and avoid sharing it on social media. This ensures the police can use it for action.
Sgt. Steve Evans from the West Midlands Police Operation Snap team appreciates the public’s support. He believes that by submitting footage, people are helping make the roads safer for everyone.
