Since 2022, road users from across the country have captured over 230,000 potential driving offences, which have then been submitted to local police forces.

Operation Snap has been helping members of the public aid the police in catching dangerous drivers by allowing people to submit videos of road incidents to their local forces. In our region, 9,775 videos have been submitted to Humberside Police.

The figures come from a Confused. com Freedom of Information (FOI) request to all UK constabularies.

The force that has received the most video submissions was Avon & Somerset Police, which received 29,016 submissions between 2022 and 2025.

The results from the FOI request showed that across the country 18 per cent of reports resulted in a Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN).

Most video submissions related to careless or inattentive driving, which made up 63 per cent of submissions.
