Time limit for dashcam footage NIP

[Zico]

Your friendly ocd driver again.

Is there a time footage for dash cam submissions and when I can be sent an NIP?

Driving last week and a car behind me beeped its horn - worried I’ve gone through a red light in error.

That's over-worrying.

I get beeped and flashed at frequently when overtaking in a "fast car" - not yet been "dash cammed".

Op Snap submissions need to be in within a week. The NiP needs to be served within 14 days.

Not all offences need a NiP to be served.

The week limit for submissions is a force policy rather than anything else. It can be submitted later just depends if the force can get it processed in time.

Yep, I had this at the weekend.

Overtook a car - road was straight for about half a mile to a roundabout with no traffic coming the other way at all and nothing in front of her.
As I pulled in, noticed she flashed her lights.

Due to traffic, she caught me up about 5 minutes later - and a few miles down the road, as I pulled into a car park she tooted her horn at me.

Bizarre - apparently, overtaking is illegal these days......

It’s Northumbria and it could only be a red light offence. Worrying times.

Just curious, but how does that work? Did the car behind stop at the lights as you went through and beep as that happened?

Well worth the overtake then.

The increasingly popular fashion of 'minding other people's business'. And illegal use of the headlights and horn.

I don't overtake people to get places quicker. I overtake because I don't enjoy driving very slowly.
So yes - in the period I was not stuck behind her - it was worth it.

Thanks!

6 months of worrying then - I really need my license.

"You won't get there any faster!" - old man waves his walking cane at you. :-)

I've had it a lot - the flashing and beeping. Once driver was pre-angry as he knew an overtake was pending (and no, I don't tailgate agressively) - he was flashing me during the overtake - ie. he started before I was done! then leant on the horn for ages. I just flicked him a finger (roof down). It;s suprising how many times this happens.

I am quite suprised I've not been "reported yet" - I undertake a lot when people block me on purpose too (that happens in a "flash car" more than I'd like). Even had one guy block me 100% on purpose for the length of a dualling road section. I overtook him at the very and and he geve me a very clear "round of applause" - hands in the air. Envy is very ugly. Assuming thats what it is.

Oh yeah - another , I overtook on a lovely A road. He beeped a load. I carried on for 10 mins. Lovely drive. Got to my destination and slowed and stopped to turn right, across busy traffic, he eventually caught up, and as I peeled off right to park he gave me a round of applause - you know, like. the above comment "that was worth it then?" - yep - it was. Had a fab drive on an open road.

A perceived flash car (i.e better than theirs) is a red rag to a lot of drivers and you learn to anticipate it as I'm sure you have done.

Any attempt to slow your progress will be taken, whether it's static, such as the refusal to play the game in crawling traffic where the rules are let each other proceed in turn, or at speed, where a two lane is becoming one and they'll stay in the outer lane unnecessarily to stop you getting to the merge point first. Same situation and be driving something nondescript and the behaviour is different, although many drivers have a perceived pecking order thou shalt not transgress.

The game players always reveal their true motive because they have to get arsey in one way or the other once their plan has failed. Gobbing off, arm waving , light flashing, sounding the horn or tailgating being the key indicators.
