Op Snap: Disqualification & big fines for drivers caught on camera

Does he have to ram her down and kill her before sensible action is taken against these idiots? Do you really think that these paltry 'fines' are gonna change bad behaviour?

Driving on the pavement, behind a car waiting at a junction and almost taking out an elderly person just "careless". How about attempted murder?

... attempted manslaughter. Attempted murder would never be able to be proven.

[@johnmusgrave3179]

Nothing careless about it, that was clearly "dangerous driving" which is a much more serious offence.

[@Bond2025]

You need to look at the actual legal definition of what it is you think applies, then you will see it is not correct. A death is not always a murder or manslaughter. The CPS do not help much by insisting on mis-charging people in order to guarantee a plea bargain and the need for a trial in which the evidence would be flimsy or the person would be found not guilty. For example, a person defends themselves on a night out after an attack and the other person dies from the injuries caused. That person can not be charged with murder, it would be manslaughter. So the CPS know the jury might find the person not guilty of manslaughter and he will walk free or could agree to say he caused S18 Wounding. If it is in the public interest or someone has an agenda or axe to grind, they will mis-charge with murder and force the person to say they accept manslaughter just to get a conviction. I see mis-charging all the time, it is a waste of public money when CPS decides on cases based on how good they will look for the public and NOT on the actual facts and evidence in the cases.

[@Dallas-Nyberg]

A few days ago, my wife received a infringement notice in the mail for speeding.. it was picked up by a speed camera. Due to the fact that, during holiday periods, here in Australia, the fines and demerit points are doubled, she was fined $900, lost 6 of the twelve points and lost her license for three months. However, on checking the date of the infringement -(after she had paid the fine), she realized that our daughter had borrowed her car on that day. She went back and told the traffic authority that that was the case. Their answer?... "If you try to change it now, you will be arrested for lying in the first place and will face three months in jail". A day or so later, our daughter revealed that she was caught speeding two days before that, in her own car and was fined $900, lost 6 demerit points and her license for three months! I am now forced to be their chauffeur and I'm not very impressed.

depends whether the drivers in question have undermined the courts authority or not by the looks of it. Two of the least dangerous pieces of driving seemed to get by far the heaviest fines and penalty points for not revealing the drivers identity.

[@paulcollyer801]

I would surmise that, as the Fixed Penalty for all these offences is £100 & 3 points for pleading guilty, these went to court. The court will fine according to your pay scale, and can give higher or lower fines, and can also issue more points than standard if they feel it appropriate

I know it probably was them, but that was a very stupid legal advisor directing a Magistrate.

[@Graham196]

It is an offence not to disclose the identity of who driving at the time and the registered owner must provide those details within 28 days and it is a serious offence. It falls under the Road Traffic Act 1988 section 172. The penalty for failing to provide driver details is six points and a fine of up to £1,000. This is quite serious considering most minor motoring offences attract a penalty of less than six points. You may not have even been driving yet you could still receive six penalty points for failing to provide the relevant information to the police. So the registered owner would have already had at least 6 points on their licence already and the 6 points for this would have been suffice foe a disqualification.

How do we know that people aren't deliberately goading and provoking other drivers into doing something stupid and then filming their reaction in order to get them fined.

Or what if they happen to film a family member doing something wrong, would they submit that? Then there is the blackmail issue mentioned by the OP, which is a very good point.

@Nehemiah Scudder that's so not the point here though. People should only be prosecuted based on evidence that has been collected in a fair, reasonable and consistent manner. That's exactly why the police have so many rules and regulations regarding the way they collect evidence and prepare their case for the CPS. And even they often fail to meet the required standards, meaning prosecutions have to be dropped. With this initiative they're basically ignoring all those standards and using any old video evidence, with no corroborating information, to proceed with prosecutions. It's pathetic. How would you feel if the police decided to follow you round every time you got in your car, filming everything you did and everywhere you went, ready to pounce on you as soon as you did something wrong? Yet, with this, if a private individual decided to do that to you, they could. And the police are actually encouraging it!

piss poor punishment ,these people must be laughing as they leave the courtroom . Most of them should have got fines with three zero's on the end and minimum 12 month bans

[@steveo6944]

its just a pity other police forces were as pro active about bad driving as you guys. Im on the road every day & the driving offences I see are horrific

[@franktuckwell196]

So good to see those that need punishing, getting fined, thanks to the powers that be.

[@Wreckemrage]

Not really one for grassing people up with dash cam footage but christ, how the hell do you give the 308cc driver and the mini such a little fine for nearly causing a death. The head on could have been awful as could the pensioner over a bonnet.

[@gowdsake7103]

Absolutely pathetic fines

[@michaelneale7813]

Should Be 7 to 14 Day Bans As well as Fine And Points

[@stevebrain4393]

All police forces should do a similar operation

[@michaeltaylor8835]

They got off lightly

[@grahamshaw4964]

It's no good fining these people,take the licence away for min 5yrs ,death is forever

[@MegaCj74]

Sorry but dangerous driving is being tolerated when such ineffective punishment is given

[@sharronbevan6425]

Well done 👏 ✔

[@trevorhoward7682]

Too much self advertising and too little content. Also, is there a legal reason for not showing number plates of offenders?

[@fredemny3304]

Yes.

[@trevorhoward7682]

​@@fredemny3304So, what is it? To show a driver performing an illegal or dangerous manoeuvre? Please explain.

[@EugVR6]

So the 1st video shows a near head on with a danger to life and the 2nd show a near fatality and just scrape £100 in fines but run the red light behind a lorry and get £660 fine and a ban!....the law makes no sense.

[@EnglishLaw]

The fine is high only when the registered keeper doesn't disclose who was driving. It's to discourage the old ignorance tactic.

[@EugVR6]

@@EnglishLaw it said they received a 6 month ban, they can't ban someone unless they know who's driving can they?

[@rjb2626]

Yes, these examples were bad. But what I see here is the police asking the public to snitch on one another. Please don't.

[@rufusgreenleaf2466]

For health and safety yes, letting people get away with things like this could cause death to someone.

[@PeterBee911]

If it's to protect people from getting hurt and killed by those dumbasses, yes, let's "snitch". Unless you're saying that because you're the kind of driver displayed in those videos? :)

[@andrewthomas2406]

@@PeterBee911 but no one did get hurt or killed,so lets not do the snitching.

[@rikardsaje]

The courts are too soft.

[@carlf3051]

I love these Police PR videos. It's just a shame that they don't represent the true reality of the police force, which spends most of it's time playing politics, or raising money for its masters.

0.47 I think that mini should have been disqualified as it nearly rammed the lady in red.
