You might be interested in the response I had from the CTC asking about their Stop-Smidsy Campaign - www.stop-smidsy.org.uk

Thanks for your email. As the magazine article points out, currently Stop SMIDSY reports are sent on to Sussex Police and the Met. This is because both of these police forces operate their own online reporting systems:

Met: http://www.met.polic...roadsafelondon/

Sussex: http://www.operationcrackdown.org/

Our reports feed into the same databases used by these sites.We don’t know of any similar schemes operating, but where they are we will enter negotiations to co-ordinate our reports with them as well. Of course we will seek to encourage the police to take this up wherever we can, but it would be useful to have an evaluation of how this is operating in London/Sussex before advocating its use elsewhere.

I'm a bit surprised by Magnatom's entrapment comment - Dave, aren't you "entrapping" drivers already by asking for it on the road, and then filming and reporting them? :tongue:

Entrapment as a concept best left to our litigious cousins across pond. It should not be allowed in any way to excuse p*** poor driving - or anything else for that matter.
 
LOL! Will people please read what I wrote! I never said it was entrapment, I pointed out that it was too strong a word! All I am saying is that I think it is best to be up front about the video. Someone earlier was saying hold it back and let the driver further incriminate himself by lying.

If the video is bad enough (and I think it is) then it should be firmly dealt with anyway!

Trust me Tickockmy, I am fully aware of that dangerous driving is not funny when it comes to HGV's. Have a look for my 20cm from death thread. The driver of that HGV has been charged with dangerous driving. (I've had to remove the video until legal proceedings move forward).
