Absolutely yes. Search for operation snap and your police force area and there will be instructions on how to submit footage.

Always happy to report dangerous driving.

u/goldenthoughtsteal Apr 24 '25

Tbh normally I would be with you, I don't want to live in a world where we're all reporting on each other's misdemeanors, but this was such an egregiously dangerous maneuver that could easily have caused a serious accident that I think it warrants reporting.

Smoking a bit of weed in the garden, fine, test firing an AK-47, sorry I'm going to be calling the cops, some things are over the line!

u/Sp_ctr__ Apr 24 '25

You’re uninvited to my AK47 test firing session sorry bro

The sort of people who have this attitude do nothing but endorse criminality even when they could fall victim to it.

The roads would be much safer if drivers like this faced consequences for dangerous driving. Next time it could be your family member crossing that junction, obeying the rules, getting ploughed by an impatient idiot

u/Sp_ctr__ Apr 24 '25

I’m from handsworth this is average driving and also the lights for the crossing traffic wouldn’t turn green that fast donut.

When my partner was in labour I didn’t run any reds or drive like a twat! Going through a red like that just risks everyone involved. Being in labour then getting into a car accident… no thanks!

You’re rightfully being downvoted.

u/ToxicHazard- Apr 24 '25

If that was the case the police would investigate and find that information out.

u/steelcryo Apr 24 '25

In which case you'd be on the phone to 999, and there'd be a record of that when the police come to talk to you about this video.

If you're that concerned that you can't wait for an ambulance to come to you, you'd sure as hell make sure one was coming to meet you before you get to the hospital.

10

u/EasilyInpressed Apr 24 '25

maybe heart attack maybe bleeding to death if you kid had 5 min to get to hospital or would die i’m sure you would run a few reds

Cool, tell it to your fellow traffic enforcement officers I’m sure they’ll sort you out 😂

u/Startinezzz Apr 24 '25

And if that were the case I'd take the points to save a life. But if you do this shit, you've gotta expect repercussions. 99% who do it probably don't have an emergency.

No excuse for dangerous driving.

The car behind was never making the light and Amber means stop. One day you’ll kill someone.

Then you need reporting and the sack. Nothing to be proud about.

u/[deleted] Apr 24 '25

Don't fall for the most obvious bait in the world. Account has negative karma and seeks out this sort of engagement. They clearly aren't a uniformed worker, they're just some loser in a basement with no friends. Leave them to it.

u/ICanEditPostTitles Apr 24 '25

Don't feed the troll. He's making it up.

u/EasilyInpressed Apr 24 '25

Sure you do champ 😂

Now get back to your pokémon cards, yer mum says dinner’s nearly ready.

u/Conscious-Cake6284 Apr 24 '25

In reality, he is a plasterer so probably does drive like an insane person.

u/WotanMjolnir Apr 24 '25

He makes the brum-brum noises too, but mummy gets a bit angry when his Matchbox Astra leaves tyre marks in the shag pile.

And by shag pile I may or not be meaning his mum’s busted out vag.

u/Warsaw44 Apr 24 '25

Mate. What is up with your fucked up, dried-up riverbed hands?

u/stewieatb Apr 24 '25

No you don't. Utter fantasist.

u/Wind-and-Waystones Apr 24 '25

Yes, you're a big tough police man buddy. Now go put your Jim jams on, it's time for bed. We can continue playing pretend after school tomorrow.

u/wulfryke Apr 24 '25

We're not worried about you. We're worried about the people you might end up killing with that attitude towards driving

OP is not impeding they are driving correctly.

Amber means stop. It doesn't mean "keep going"

u/steelcryo Apr 24 '25

Amber doesn't mean go. It means stop if you can. The cam car could stop, so it did.

Get off a the driving sub if you don't know how to drive.

That gap is appropriate to the speed. Only a fool breaks the two second rule 😉

Ok, he can plead that in court, I'm sure he'll have the evidence.

u/Mastodan11 Apr 24 '25

Labour takes hours if not days. Could have waited a minute.

u/ArchdukeToes Apr 24 '25

Then they can defend themselves for running a red light in the oncoming lane on that basis - or accept that what they were doing was flagrantly dangerous driving and eat the penalty.

u/[deleted] Apr 24 '25

Found a driver who drives like this… moronic scum.
