Hi all. I was taking to a friend about dash cams and how police use them as evidence against other motorists breaking the law and I wanted some more experienced opinions or even facts (of anyone knows the facts)...

For example if someone ran a red light and was caught on dash cam and then sent to police... would they give you 3 point and fine or are they only interested in dangerous driving etc???

What I am trying to say is... at what point are police interested in dash cam videos? Running light? Aggressive overtake? Wonder where they draw the line. Thoughts?

Why would you care if someone's jumped a red light? Would you report them if you'd seen them do rather than caught it on camera? If so would you pull up a cyclist & call the police if they jumped a red light?

If the answer is no then leave people to get on with their lives, if you witness to an accident then it's acceptable but apart from that I see no reason to be reporting anyone.
Sorry chaps I didnt realise my thread had a single reply let alone 4 pages... forgot to click notify...

Dont get me wrong, I wouldnt bother reporting anything like a red light offence... Not got the time to care about that. Might be different if someone nearly got killed etc. Plus I dont and never will have a dash cam.

Dear lord look what I have started!

So basically a dash cam vigilante isnt getting too far unless its a fairly serious offence that the Police want to pursue.
