MAJOR CHANGE TO 'GOSAFE' USE OF DASHCAM FOOTAGE

Police overwhelmed by amount of video sent in

- By OWEN HUGHES Business Correspondent

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.
