MAJOR CHANGE TO 'GOSAFE' USE OF DASHCAM FOOTAGE
Holyhead, Anglesey and Bangor Mail
|June 04, 2025
A MAJOR change has been announced to how police in Wales will use dashcam and other footage showing potential traffic offences.
-
Operation Snap - led by road safety partnership GoSafe - is a digital portal that encourages public submissions of video proof of traffic violations.
Careless driving and dangerously close overtakes of cyclists top the list of offences, along with running red lights.
It has proved successful and been a “valuable tool” in cracking down on dangerous drivers. But with an increasing number of drivers and riders using dashcams and helmet cams the number of videos submitted has rocketed.
The amount of footage submitted doubled from 2021 to 2023 and has continued to rise since then.
It has seen GoSafe announce an immediate change to how it deals with many of those submissions as a major review is carried out.
