Good to see Durham police taking dashcam footage and acting on it. One time I had dashcam and stopped at a red light. A young man started crossing the road, he'd got in front of me when a car passed by straight through the red, almost hit the lad, he just stopped his step out in time. I decided to try submit it to Cleveland police. What a rigmarole that was. After trying various means they eventually emailed to say someone would come round to view it. I managed to get it to work on the big screen TV and had a flash drive with it on ready for them to take it away. Two officers came, a male and a female. They viewed the footage. Weren't interested in taking it with them at all. They said they'd 'have a word' with the other driver which I knew meant they wouldn't do a thing (they hadn't bothered to even make note of the number plate which was clear in view). Then the male officer asked "Why do you have a dashcam?". I was a bit taken back at the question so I started to gather my thoughts, I'd seen at the time loads of videos of people trying to jump on bonnets etc claiming they'd been hit, insurance fraud, and was internally trying to verbalise that, when the officer again said "Why though? Why have a dashcam?" in an aggressive tone. I was really taken aback. The female officer was visibly disturbed by his sudden aggressive nature and she stepped in to say thanks for the footage we'll be going now. Not a chance I'd send in footage again after that. I don't even have a dashcam any more.
These days, most (if not all) police forces in England have signed up to a central online portal where you can upload a dashcam video and give a statement, all without needing to call the police.
You should have put a complaint in about their conduct and lack of action. You gave them the reasons for having a dash cam. All those reasons still apply!
I've had similar dealings but, thankfully, not with the forces of the north who all seem to take this stuff very seriously. Having a dashcam is not just your free right to have one but it's for all the reasons you can, and even those you can't, think of that you need one. If for nothing more than just maintaining or improving your own driving standards, which is mainly what I use mine for.
I know using a mobile when you are driving is very dangerous but SURELY going the wrong way down a slip road and then doing a U turn is worse! And a "re training" course when you almost cause a head on collision or do a dangerous overtake in an HGV ! Pathetic.
I think the difference is likely between "concious decision to disobey the law" and "may have had a momentary lapse of judgement or attention". I'm not suggesting to know the minds of those who did any of the things here, but you don't accidentally check your mobile phone, or pull out to a stationary red, check, then go anyway, but you might misjudge whether you can safely pass, and you might not realise you went down a one way, then get really stressed about it and make another bad judgement call.
1:01 Someone did this to me but made contact. 19 fractures apart from the mangled collarbone. 3 months in hospital in traction and took another 6 months to learn to walk again. Traumatic head injury with life changing complications. Still can't walk without limping and am unable to work because of the brain damage. Driver claimed I punched his van and nothing was done
@@FeckHallBahn What the van driver claimed you punched his van after he nearly killed you ? Because you wouldn’t punch his van before the contact would you ? So I think that’s a load of shite if he claimed you punched his van , where’s the hand imprint I would have asked 🤦♂️🫠
@@graeme9679 Speed is a factor in a high percentage of accidents. Not sure about Australia but in the UK you don't qualify for a licence if you speed (instant fail on a test) so the speeders driving is below the minimum requirement for a licence and the cameras are there to catch these sub par drivers. There's a simple way of avoiding a speeding fine.
Sometimes I feel that I'm the only one obeying the UK road rules. Unfortunately, there are some awful drivers out there that can lead you into making mistakes, but hopefully the discretion of police officers can be applied sensibly..
So you’re telling me - that driving the wrong way down a slip road to rejoin the motorway, is the same penalty as doing 54mph through a police moderated 50mph zone with those yellow cameras…right…bs
@asilver2889 I thought it still was. I used to set these lights up as traffic management and they fail a lot. What's the case for lights that have failed and are stuck on red? Genuinely curious.
This is now the usual standard of driving, it’s due to the general lack of on the road traffic cops, I see this every day when driving, and when I’m riding my motorcycle I constantly get tailgated, which makes fuming mad 🤬 👍🇬🇧
I put three videos to Police Scotland and they refused to follow any of them up as they couldn’t positively identify the driver, absolute disgrace of a force.
I've seen all of these clips on dashcam clip channels. Good to see that those who took the recordings sent them to the police and that they were acted upon. There is misinformation going around the Internet that traffic lights on road works are "advisory": don't know where it came from, aside from people trying to cause mayhem and thinking it's funny, but it is dangerous and needs to be nipped in the bud.
Years ago, decades even, someone told me that roadwork lights were not enforcable and that you could run a red if you could see the road was clear. Once the internet arrived, I tried googling that and found nothing at all. Don't know how and when it started but its been around for decades.
That clip was unreal, at first I thought ok one guy ran the red but then to see another three right after him. Words fail me, all so they can save maybe a minute but at the risk of costing a life.
1:38 sorry but that's more than driving without due care. It's CLEARLY dangerous driving. EDIT: so the clip at 0:27 gets dangerous driving for low speed wrong side of the road, yet the driver at 1:38 gets driving without due care for HIGH SPEED wrong side of the road. Makes no sense.
Probably because in the first clip, the crazy overtake was where there’s also likely to be pedestrians? Both were pretty dangerous! The second clip could be seen as an error of judgement where as the first clip was an intentional act.
Traffic island in the first clip. A deliberate "I'm not sitting behind this car anymore" and going way beyond a normal overtake... Illegal. 2nd clio was a simple, legal overtake but obviously executed poorly. Not illegal
Can we please see a lot more prosecutions for middle-lane-hogging? As much as anything, it would teach idiots (and I am choosing my words carefully) that it's not OK to occupy an overtaking lane when you're not actually overtaking.
Sadly not wrong there. Exactly why I have a dashcam in my car and report drivers like in this video. Some people won't learn till they get penalised for it
100 quid fine and a points for turning round on a motorway slip way and entering the motorway like that white car, that is crazy. At 16 I was caught on a moped with no license, not really anywhere dangerous just a little back street with a friend, the thing could only do 30 at the most and that was down hill lol. 440 in fines and 3 points on a license I had not even got.
Some know there's rarely cameras and take advantage of the delay between the lights changing. Inattentive drivers may also just assume the vehicle ahead is stopped, overtaking them through the traffic light without initially realising.
@ultra_vires I suspect most think they are more important than everyone else so plow through and often cause issues. These folk also seem to think if the lights don't change quickly enough, they are broken and proceed through red.
That hgv driver overtaking of that roundabout at 50s only got a retraining course ? That should of been before the traffic commissioner for a loss of vocational licence at least if not a total ban & before anyone asks what do i know im a hgv driver - Those things dont bruise - they kill and driving one that agressively is completely unacceptable and gives all us truckers a bad name !

The whole of the UK is now falling into a country which has bowed down and accepts bad driving. Its so bad its becoming an epedemic. Drivers are doing exactly as they want with no deterrent and no punishment and no fear. And now its gotten so bad people are crashing into the Emergency service vehicles that are not on call and even Police cars roaming around normally. Just this morning my commute had to be closed and shut off because a car attempted to overtake several tankers on a single carriadgeway but hit an oncoming car head-on coming the opposite way. How bad and how poor are things going to get before the brakes are put on? It seems that insurance companies don't seem to care and neither do the Police. Lives are being lost and the toll for deaths are just getting worse. Nobody is realising how bad this has become. This country needs to wake up to this dystopian driving society.
People have been seeing driving related crimes as not really crimes at all, speeding and parking tickets are passed off as bad luck and society tolerates the intrusion into all our everyday lives by the almighty car.
@@talonlan 30 years ago when they used to show helicopter views of car chases down below with stolen vehicles we were all shocked. They would be tailgating, undertaking, using a hard shoulder, barging through red lights, racing up a third lane and eventually crash into someone or something and the chase would come to an end. Now that type of driving is classed as normal. Its a Monday to Friday 08:30 - 17:30 work commute style drive. I see Mercedes AMG's and BMW M sports doing it all the time. Turning left in a right hand lane, using a filter light lane to overtake other cars, all the stuff you saw on Police STOP or Police Camera Action is whats happening normally.
I’ve lived in Asia, sub Saharan Africa, and the US. England is one of the best driving countries on earth. You don’t realise how dangerous driving really can be. Settle down.
Inexcusably coming very close to killing someone with your trailer results in just a training course, while stopping and then running a red is 3 points and a fine? It's insane. I'm not saying running a red like that is ok, just that it's infinitely less dangerous than the near death experience the guy on the bike had.
Just a quick question regarding 1.37, how did you get a video to go from the front view to the side window without you touching the camera, which would be the same offense that the other driver is committing??
Sorry, I do not want to be a smart ass, but impatience is a big issue here in UK !! Way every one is rushing so much! 80% of the video clips in here are about this.
I feel sorry for the woman that crashed into the police car. We all get distracted when driving from time to time without even realising it, she was just very unlucky that she was behind some coppers.
Retraining won't fix most of these idiots' habits 🙄- losing their license and having to re-take their test might on the other hand...that lorry, close pass of the cyclist and the interaction with the horse rider in particular...
Temporary traffic lights 🚥 are a pain but if it's red you stop. Seen so many times red light jumpers at these. Then motorists complain the police have nothing better to do than keep harassing them. Stick to the rules....no points no fine simple
Not always true, if temporary lights fail (all lights stuck on red), which has happened to me several times, just treat them like junction and with extreme care.
you are meant to stay central to stop people trying to overtake or close passing, you only ever go on the fullest of the left when it is safe to do so. I think you may need a retraining course as well.
Not only was it a police vehicle the Kia rear ended. It was an ARV! You can see the chaps wearing semi-automatic pistols. In a way she was lucky because these are some of the best trained and tempered officers in the world.
Why even bother when you give them a slap on the wrist at the worst? Plenty of these drivers should never be behind the wheel of a car again. They are knowingly and willingly endangering other people's lives for the sake of reaching the next red light a few seconds sooner. I ride a bike in this area. I obey all road laws. I have a high chance of ending up dead because the authorities refuse to actually punish terrible motorists with meaningful consequences. Every day I get close passed despite riding to the highway code and taking primary position. I have drivers fail to give way. I've had bottles thrown at me. I've had drivers tailgate me. Every single day I cannot use bike lanes because they are glorified car parks (I have reported one driver a dozen times over the course of the past 4 years for parking in a cycle lane in the same place and the authorities have not even bothered replying to me) Police (and Judges) are motorists and it shows. The way you enforce the law when it comes to drivers is ridiculously biased. When I'm knocked down and killed by a driver overtaking me and immediately left turning into my bike, please give the driver more than a "retraining course".
Why is it so many people treat temporary lights so differently to permanent ones? I see it all the time people just driving through them like it's normal. And 4 cars @ 2:06 ,it's nuts. And as if insurance isn't enough 6 points and a CU80 code on your licence, next 5 years +75% on what you've been paying.
Do you now investigate and prosecute from dash cam footage? I was involved in a hit and run in your area that you weren’t interested in, despite having dash cam footage. Your complaints process told me you leave it to the insurance companies to sort out.
They prosecute the registered car owner who can then declare who was driving for it to go to the correct individual. That’s how some people illegally declare a spouse or partner is driving if they’re at 9 points for example. It’s seen as perverting the course of justice which is a much more serious offence and usually carries a custodial sentence.
I believe many of these clips are not just ignorance or lack of driving skill. There is clear signs of malicious intent behind some of these clips and I do not believe a retraining course is a sufficient deterrent. Punishment is more likely to change these people's behaviour. What a disappointing video.
The one at around 30 seconds in is just a minute up the road from me, see all kinds of stupid dangerous driving round here - yest morning at 4.30am when it was still very dark, black car driving up that same road at speed with no lights on...never seen so much stupid entitled driving as I have in this area...
We should introduce a driving licence prerequisite of being able to ride a self-propelled vehicle (eg bicycle) on the road (a road user licence?), and then suspend people until they pass that test again. It's hard to see your actions from the perspective of others when you're surrounded by armour and powered by stored energy. I don't mean a cyclist-harming "cycling licence" in case it's not clear - I mean purely as an unavoidable prerequisite to gaining a motor vehicle (of any kind) licence.
Very nice list. Great to see these idiots get some justice, although not tough enough. What's with this training course crap? They'll just do it again.
nice cross selection of idiots using the road, but why retraining courses? most of these are very poor driving boarding on criminal, just saying ~Trooper
Im more concerned that there is pointless crap music playing. My videos on here are shit but I’m not trying to be clever. Did you know that most SUCCESSFUL channels have NO music ?
I got fined £200 for going through a red light at 5 mph. It was heavy traffic and I was too close to a bus in front to see the lights. My fault and I'm not complaining about being fined but how come all the red light jumpers here, who deliberately drove through lights at high speed, get such small fines?
@@grahvissquare route of zero who actually declares points, insurance is pointless fix and repair your own stuff cheaper,all insurance do is write everything off

Inexcusably coming very close to killing someone with your trailer results in just a training course, while stopping and then running a red is 3 points and a fine? It's insane. I'm not saying running a red like that is ok, just that it's infinitely less dangerous than the near death experience the guy on the bike had.
judges need a retraining course
The fines are far too low, especially when you consider the chance of being caught. That lorry driver should be fined £5,000 and banned for 3 years.
Just a quick question regarding 1.37, how did you get a video to go from the front view to the side window without you touching the camera, which would be the same offense that the other driver is committing??
Clearly filmed by a passenger.
01:29 I hope the person filming the driver on their phone wasn't also using their phone to film whilst driving!
Sorry, I do not want to be a smart ass, but impatience is a big issue here in UK !! Way every one is rushing so much! 80% of the video clips in here are about this.
1:17 Blatant red light jumping should be a ban
I feel sorry for the woman that crashed into the police car. We all get distracted when driving from time to time without even realising it, she was just very unlucky that she was behind some coppers.
Retraining won't fix most of these idiots' habits 🙄- losing their license and having to re-take their test might on the other hand...that lorry, close pass of the cyclist and the interaction with the horse rider in particular...
We need considerably more roads policing across the UK. Especially in Surrey!
The fines/sentences need to be revisited, everything needs to be increased now.
Very much against phone use whilst driving, however why does that driver get double the fine of the car going the wrong way on a slip road?
Temporary traffic lights 🚥 are a pain but if it's red you stop. Seen so many times red light jumpers at these. Then motorists complain the police have nothing better to do than keep harassing them. Stick to the rules....no points no fine simple
Not always true, if temporary lights fail (all lights stuck on red), which has happened to me several times, just treat them like junction and with extreme care.
Seems odd that phone use gets a higher penalty that some of the more dangerous offences. Not that phone driving is ok.
Great to see dashcam footage being acted upon, there are more idiots then ever out on the roads
2:37 is an absolute joke, rider makes no effort to move over as any reasonable person would
you are meant to stay central to stop people trying to overtake or close passing, you only ever go on the fullest of the left when it is safe to do so. I think you may need a retraining course as well.
Excellent work officers. Arrogant & dangerous drivers.
Last one the Geordie accent is perfect
Not only was it a police vehicle the Kia rear ended. It was an ARV! You can see the chaps wearing semi-automatic pistols. In a way she was lucky because these are some of the best trained and tempered officers in the world.
Drivers going through red lights at junctions 3 points,.... using phone 6 points? WTF?
not the police fault. it's the regulations. Send a letter to your MP
love the music - perfect!
Why even bother when you give them a slap on the wrist at the worst? Plenty of these drivers should never be behind the wheel of a car again. They are knowingly and willingly endangering other people's lives for the sake of reaching the next red light a few seconds sooner. I ride a bike in this area. I obey all road laws. I have a high chance of ending up dead because the authorities refuse to actually punish terrible motorists with meaningful consequences. Every day I get close passed despite riding to the highway code and taking primary position. I have drivers fail to give way. I've had bottles thrown at me. I've had drivers tailgate me. Every single day I cannot use bike lanes because they are glorified car parks (I have reported one driver a dozen times over the course of the past 4 years for parking in a cycle lane in the same place and the authorities have not even bothered replying to me)
Police (and Judges) are motorists and it shows. The way you enforce the law when it comes to drivers is ridiculously biased. When I'm knocked down and killed by a driver overtaking me and immediately left turning into my bike, please give the driver more than a "retraining course".
If only they could find a way of using the video footage of the cameras on my bus everyday, they would get thousands per month!
That blue for driving down the road the wrong way. Driving education course what?
these drivers definatley aren't safe enough 4 the road!
bro went straight into the back of an armed response vehicle.........
Wow, some real heavy punishments dished out there 🙄
Sounds like a great scheme, don't get angry at other road users get a dash cam.
Nice work guys
2:03 she needs to be banned from driving for life.
last two cars through that red light @2:05 were late for The Italian Job.
Why is it so many people treat temporary lights so differently to permanent ones? I see it all the time people just driving through them like it's normal. And 4 cars @ 2:06 ,it's nuts. And as if insurance isn't enough 6 points and a CU80 code on your licence, next 5 years +75% on what you've been paying.
I thought the guy using his phone to film the other guy with his phone was a bit funny.
Last one should have got an extra fine for the state of the rear ( including the plate)
Great choice of music 🤣
Do you now investigate and prosecute from dash cam footage?
I was involved in a hit and run in your area that you weren’t interested in, despite having dash cam footage. Your complaints process told me you leave it to the insurance companies to sort out.
Morons, every single one of them! Well done cammers
Police officer doing the compo walk... 😂
Without seeing who is driving you rely on self incrimination to get a conviction
They prosecute the registered car owner who can then declare who was driving for it to go to the correct individual.
That’s how some people illegally declare a spouse or partner is driving if they’re at 9 points for example.
It’s seen as perverting the course of justice which is a much more serious offence and usually carries a custodial sentence.
@@jamesbrook16 could have been a car on stolen plates, too many variables, but I’m not sure about people running around grassing up other people
If you don’t ‘grass up’ (as you put it) the actual driver, you will be prosecuted for the offence.
@@Ianjdgale, isn’t submitting dash cam footage grassing people up?
@@jamesbrook16 I suppose so
I believe many of these clips are not just ignorance or lack of driving skill. There is clear signs of malicious intent behind some of these clips and I do not believe a retraining course is a sufficient deterrent. Punishment is more likely to change these people's behaviour. What a disappointing video.
The one at around 30 seconds in is just a minute up the road from me, see all kinds of stupid dangerous driving round here - yest morning at 4.30am when it was still very dark, black car driving up that same road at speed with no lights on...never seen so much stupid entitled driving as I have in this area...
We should introduce a driving licence prerequisite of being able to ride a self-propelled vehicle (eg bicycle) on the road (a road user licence?), and then suspend people until they pass that test again. It's hard to see your actions from the perspective of others when you're surrounded by armour and powered by stored energy.
I don't mean a cyclist-harming "cycling licence" in case it's not clear - I mean purely as an unavoidable prerequisite to gaining a motor vehicle (of any kind) licence.
Very nice list. Great to see these idiots get some justice, although not tough enough. What's with this training course crap? They'll just do it again.
2:46 and how did you find him? His reg plate was filthy.
Rear one was filthy. Front one was clearly visible since it's been blurred in this video.
1:27 wasn’t he on his phone to record the fiesta driver on his phone? 😂
Probs passenger zoomed in and cropped the video. Would've been a proper skill to film that while staying in lane 😂
@@TarikM2C yeah would be tbf 🤣
Totally agree with prosecution through dashcam evidence.
nice cross selection of idiots using the road, but why retraining courses? most of these are very poor driving boarding on criminal, just saying ~Trooper
troopers never make a mistake? Yea right , shut up
Get rid of the upbeat music, it ruins the video.
Do we have a report it link for washington?
Yes I reported you on it yesterday evening for your utterly atrocious driving
You are a bell end and a lier. @Manos-de-Piedra
Probably on the Northumbria Police website as it's in Tyne & Wear.
Im more concerned that there is pointless crap music playing. My videos on here are shit but I’m not trying to be clever. Did you know that most SUCCESSFUL channels have NO music ?
Retraining course seems to be the default process option in Durham?
I got fined £200 for going through a red light at 5 mph. It was heavy traffic and I was too close to a bus in front to see the lights. My fault and I'm not complaining about being fined but how come all the red light jumpers here, who deliberately drove through lights at high speed, get such small fines?
Don't forget the three points and what that will do to their insurance renewal costs. Especially if they already have points.
@@grahvissquare route of zero who actually declares points, insurance is pointless fix and repair your own stuff cheaper,all insurance do is write everything off
@@JohnnyMQB .
Insurance companies can automatically check for any points on your licence, being insured is a mandatory requirement.
@@grahvis yeah if they've got the correct name and address 😁,also try running quotes with and without points I know which one is cheaper 🫢
@@JohnnyMQB .
The information comes from the licence number.
If a driver gives false information to an insurance company, their insurance will be null and void.
fines need to be higher
Fines should be a percentage of salary
They're really shouldn't be a fine it's the points that matter, fine just goes towards the Christmas kitty
Far too lenient, these penalties.
Training courses aren't cheap.
Will you be saying that if you get caught, fined and points on your licence instead of a retraining course?
@@TheSeafordian They cost the same as the fine.
Retraining courses. What hogwash. Close passing is worse than mobile phone use
No it's not 😂😂😂😂 not even looking at the road whilst using phone
Is that because you use your mobile phone while driving?
There are numerous families out there who might disagree - they're the ones who've lost loved ones because of phone use whilst driving.
I went througha red light driving a bus. At training coures 3 of us went through the same red light..
You and two passengers?
I have but one question, did the firearms officers have to pay cakes, or is that a MOPs footage with a well timed arrival??
HOW ON EARTH IS THAT FIRST ONE NOT A PERM BAN, WE NEED TO BE STRICTER
Good video, but the music doesn't seem to match it at all.
Good British flag but that other flag doesn't match it at all.
Union Flag and a UK-Nazi flag...
how to deal with tailgaters just stick to the speed limit or slightly under that drives them insane.
