People in London can report mobile-phone-using drivers on the following form:

http://www.met.police.uk/roadsafelondon/

The form takes about 5 mins to fill in, and can be sent anonymously. It is also relevant for other gross traffic offences. I have sent in several forms and correspondence with the admin officers shows that they are very keen indeed to get details of "those who consider themselves above the law" in their words. There is even a drop-down choice for "cycling near-misses". We should support this effort to change the enforcement environment in favour of the general good.

If people are aware of other schemes around the country, perhaps they could also post details?

Admin, could we have a sticky?

Cheers

What sort of genre do they use, reggae, soul, rock, pop ? ? ?

P.S. On a serious note, I wish Essex had a similar process. Any one got any info, if they have, spread the word, any where in our good ol' UK, Does anyone have any skills at collating and sharing this info on a separate thread perhaps.

Surprised only twenty people per year are wiped out by these mobile phone wielding twats.Then again there is enough crap driving without these things.

It's nowhere near enough but I suppose the lack of police resources restricts the length of time that can be spent on this. It should prove to be fruitful though if GMP Traffic's experience is anything to go by: caught twice in 45 minutes.

Good job.

40,000 or 22 per day caught within the last 5 years here in Northern Ireland.

It's scary that that's just the one's that have been caught. This is only the tip of the iceberg but well done to the PSNI at least for catching some of them.

Don't report it whilst driving, wait until you stop

Hertfordshire Police policy is to just send offenders on a one day course.
