Can you spot the offence?
This driver was caught on dashcam making this dangerous overtake in Chester-le-Street.
It is one of several pieces of evidence submitted as part of Op Snap – the new reporting tool that allows members of the public to directly upload dashcam footage of potential offences to the force.
Specially trained staff in our Durham Roads & Armed Policing Unit then review the footage and if any offences are found to have been committed, the drivers will be dealt with.
In this case, the driver of the black Mini was prosecuted for careless driving and given three penalty points and a £100 fine – an expensive consequence of his impatience.
Have you witnessed dangerous driving?
If you have dashcam or any other type of footage which clearly shows the offence, the vehicle registration and a date and time stamp, upload it now here.
