• Dash Cam Footage

Posted: **Sat Sep 12, 2020 6:12 pm**

I have some dash cam footage of a complete bellend in a mercedes almost hitting my car cutting in at the top of Vivary way then undertaking me at the next roundabout and giving me the finger. I would like to upload this to the Lancashire Police but can't find where to do it. I have found the West Yorkshire one easily enough but the incident was in Colne so I need the Lancs one. Does anyone know how to do this?

Can't you take it to the nearest police station?

Snitch.

I'm not sure of the correct procedure. Most regions have a dash cam footage team where you can upload directly from their website but I can't find one on the Lancs police website.

Not sure if this helps at all.

This guy should not be allowed behind the wheel of a car. Total disregard for the safety of other road users.

Cheers FF , It just says contact the force directly when you click on Lancashire so I assume there is no portal for uploading footage.

Bang it up on Facebook then, see if anybody knows who the twunt is.

I had a look on the west yorks site and it says you shouldn't upload footage to social media if you want them to review it. Simple process on west yorks police site but i need lancs police.

Would you be saying the same if they had hit your car or even a pedestrian?

I was nearly hit this morning by an oncoming car overtaking cars waiting at the lights by Reedley magistrates court.

If I’d have caught it on cam I’d be reporting it as well

Standard of driving it awful and seems to be getting worse.

Vivary way seems to be a daily occurrence of local cars who pretend they didn't know the right lane is turn right.

Noticed Some very aggressive drivers....in Lancashire.

It certainly is,you get bellends charging up the right hand lane and cutting people up to get in the left lane. Time they had a barrier near the top to stop the cnuts from doing it.

It looks like you have to contact Lancs police to report an incident.

This is from Lancs Telegraph in 2018

Nextbase, a UK run dashcam manufacturer have launched the new dashcam portal in England and Wales.

Launched this month, it will see drivers effectively send not only footage of incidents, but also witness statements that can be used in court.

The portal will link drivers to the police far easier than before. Submissions previously were via social media, email, or providing hard copies.

Many UK police forces are already behind the new scheme, with West Mercia also using it, however, Lancashire Police have no plans to do the same.

A spokesman for the Lancashire Police, said: “We don’t use this service and there are no plans to.

We have online reporting which allows footage to be submitted to us directly, rather than via a third party. This has been the case since 2015.”

Submissions are accepted by any dashcam and will require a form to be filled in online before sending it off.

Not sure if this is till the case, just stuff I googled. Hope it helps

I was waiting at the traffic lights from Alkincoats park and have a dashcam of an Asian overtaking on the wrong side of the rd coming up vivary way from Nelson when the lights were at red .. Calmly cutting back in after the lights..

Just a pity I didn't get his license plate on the dashcam..

Were you driving too slow or erratically like some old nervous driver? Sometimes its safer to take the initiative and be more aggressive when you are around poor drivers (especially those over 50)

Must be something about Mercedes drivers today. I was coming out of Pendle Way onto the Gannow top roundabout, when a Mercedes stopped suddenly and tried to go from Lane 2 to turn down Pendle Way in about 20 yards ... absolute chao, he got hit by a van, cars were screeching to halt. Elderly white male driver ....

An aspiring young Poet named Tim,

He betters John Keats,
Yeats & Auden he beats,
Even Wordsworth comes second to him !

there was an accident at gannow top which my brother nearly got hit as he was approaching from the m65 where a focus and 206 ended up crashing into each other. From the video he sent me, I cant still work out how or what happened. Thats another bit of the local roads where you need your wits about you

Never seen a stranger set of roundabouts traffic lights slip roads exits etc anywhere in the country...you definitely need your wits about you at all times!

It's a sad affair when we all know who the culprits are, but have our mouths stitched because we have become the minority and then if we say what we know is right we are the racist oops

It's a sad affair when you're too cowardly to project your real feelings but use the excuse that your mouth is stitched.

It's a very easy set of roundabouts to negotiate once you are used to them. It does require a bit of forward planning in that you need to be in the correct lane at the first roundabout to be in the right lane for where you want to go on the second.
The biggest problem I have found is the sheer amount of drivers who take the right lane coming up Westgate to the first roundabout and once they are in the outside lane approaching the M65 turn off before the second (on the railway bridge..heading towards Padiham) they find themselves in the wrong lane and try to cut in and across. Some out of being unawares and many doing it out of being too lazy to queue to be in the right lane at the first roundabout. I have often been cut up this way..but I am wary of it now and just stay fairly close to the car in front to cut their temptation. If they miss the turning they have to go all the way back round both roundabouts to try again.
I once saw one car who must have missed the turning and on coming back the other way decided to give the Ballaro roundabout a miss and actually drove over the reservation to get onto the motorway. Luckily the traffic approaching stopped. I genuinely couldn't believe what i was seeing.

Was it Nigel mansell ,he was also an excellent driver

speed camera vans pitch up at the most pointless locations, meanwhile idiots are blasting through 30/40 zones at motorway speed.
I was waiting to pull out onto padiham bypass this week, one driver thought nothing of overtaking on a bend and came within inches of head on crash with totally innocent driver of vehicle coming from opp direction . sickening what's going on. the ***** really do not give a **** for anyone else.

you can apparently upload footage via the reportitonline.lancashire.police.uk
Website but it's a convoluted process and when I tried to upload from my Nextbase dash cam relating to a knoblet hurtling around on an.unregistered scrambler the website told me the file was too large.

Posted: **Mon Sep 14, 2020 8:23 pm**

I had same problem on that site, max upload 60mb and my video file is 123mb. It is more for uploading photos.

Would compressing it make it unreadable, so any reg plate can't be traced?

Not sure without seeing it but doubtful if it's just halving it. You could also upload a screenshot of the reg plate from the original alongside?

There's an appeal in the LET today for some dashcam footage and they ask that you either
ring 101 OR 0800 555 111 for the charity, Crimestoppers.

Hope this helps you shop the inconsiderate, dangerous b@stards.

I've dredged up this old thread after reading an article in The Telegraph today about the increased number of drivers sending camera footage to the police and a subsequently decent amount (25%) becoming prosecutions.

I've not seen stats before but the article says:
32,000 dashcam clips were received by police in 2019- leading to 8,000 prosecutions.
32k was more than double the 2018 figure and I'd guess it's likely that 2020 will have seen another increase.

I'm not a driver nowadays but (as a pedestrian and occasional cyclist) I find this quite encouraging. I know there's a thing about "grassing" but a fair number of the sort of miscreant drivers being picked up/prosecuted this way are likely to be a danger to the well being of other road users rather than people going a few mph over the limit.
