Police hoping for even busier year - as they look to increase reports of poor driving
Thousands of people have been uploading footage of incidents to the force's website
Devon and Cornwall Police are urging us to report any examples of bad driving - after more than 6,000 incidents were reported last year.
Footage from devices like dash cams or cycling helmet cameras can be uploaded to the force's website with the officers currently focussing on areas like Exmouth in Devon.
Exmouth Sector Inspector Grant Leitch explained: “Exmouth and the roads around it are very busy with lots of vehicles.
"Drivers are not always as patient as they should be and some dangerous drivers may be tempted to drive too fast or attempt risky manoeuvres to try and get somewhere a bit quicker.
"We also have those people behind the wheel who cause a nuisance late at night for residents by revving their engines; this is particularly noticeable on the Esplanade along the seafront.
“Most motorists in the town are law-abiding and we are grateful for the public’s help to catch the anti-social minority who cause problems and misery for others.
"Please submit footage to help Operation Snap so we can investigate these incidents. Here in Exmouth we have hard working local police teams who look out for offenders and we can also count on the extra support of the Force Roads Policing Team who are experts in their field. We will also carry out covert roads operations where necessary.”
Operation Snap, as it's known, was set up in the region in 2019. Anyone who submits footage to Operation Snap must be able to provide the registration number of the offending vehicle and should be prepared to sign a witness statement; there is a possibility that they may need to give evidence in court. Please note police can only accept a statement for Operation Snap from people aged 18 or over.
