Dash cam footage of dangerous driving

  • What has it got to do with you? The Police will almost certainly not be interested. They would be interested in footage if a crime or accident had been committed but then if i had such footage, i wouldnt be giving it to the Police. I'd be selling it to aggrieved parties to support their claims for compensation.

    Selling it?

    Very public spirited of you.

    I thought folk on here had learn't their lesson about posting video footage.

    You other video has no signs on the road or to indicate which lane at that roundabout and if you don't know the road it would be very easy to be in the wrong lane.

    Always best to give large vehicles a bit more room, as you say there were no lane markings

    Compensation for what? Can you point out any monetary losses that have occurred?

    Todays incident was a chap in a Focus over taking on double white lines on a junction, just getting back in time before an oncoming car had to take avoiding action. http://youtu.be/3j4hLggaVdM

    Couldn't believe it but should be used to it by now !

    Ive had this cam just over a week and this is the second incident, had one yesterday when a truck driver was in the wrong lane and then had a go at me for being in the correct lane. I have been touch with the company concerned in this case, had a reply back from them this morning saying they will look at their footage of the altercation and get back to me.

    You caused the issue with the tanker.

    Injuries sustained in an accident.

    Hazard awareness is truly dire amongst most drivers. Most accidents can be avoided by looking and thinking ahead and working out what may happen.

    And those people who dont have that hazard awareness are advised not to post videos exposing their weakness
