Dashcam footage shows the moment a driver was "nearly ran off the road" by a Devon and Cornwall police car.
It was captured on the M74 in Glasgow this weekend and the force has issued a statement saying the officer in question has received management advice.
The full statement reads: "Footage brought to our attention regarding the driving of one of our officers has been reviewed.
"The officer has received management advice and consideration is currently being given regarding any further driver training requirements.
"Whilst the matter has not been reported to the police, the action taken (words of advice) is the same action that would have been taken if the car in question in the footage had been driven by a member of the public".
Dozens of officers from Devon and Cornwall Police have been sent to Scotland to help with COP26.
The force has come under fire after it was confirmed several flew to the summit rather than travelling by road or rail.
Although the number of DC Police officers in Glasgow has not been revealed, it is believed to be over 200.
Around 7,000 officers from outside Scotland have been sent to help with the high security event.
The cost of the policing operation for COP26 is thought to be around ÂŁ100 million and is the biggest ever deployment of officers in UK history.
It is a bigger operation than the ones mounted at the G7 summit in Cornwall and the 2012 London Olympics.
