Some of these 'punishments' where other people's lives are put at risk by these reckless drivers are really pathetic

The last one, ignoring the solid white line on the bridge should gave been banned and had his/her car crushed.

And in worst place . . . .has to be whoever handed them pathetic,laughable sentences. What's driving us course? LOL. That'll teach em!

I cant believe the penalty for the last offence. That was a head on collision at speed waiting to happen. Serious injury or death. The sort of fine and point you would get for exceeding the speed limit without any hazard resulting.

I personally think a lot of the "driving without due care and attention" were more "dangerous driving" and the penalties should've been much more severe. That last one, for example: £100 and 3 points for what could've been a head-on collision. The current penalties are woefully inadequate.

Ridiculously-soft punishments. No wonder these things go on.

The driver did comply with the lane closure signal upon reaching the second light system. The approach to the traffic lights that were on red prevented them from moving to the left lane. I must add that that those signals need to be lowered so that road traffic can see them instead of aircraft. Never mind I suppose you got your £100 and someone that may have useful information the next time you appeal for help will say "up yours".

some driviers should have received 1000£ and licence withdrawal

That last one - only £100 and again, only 3 points. Bet they thought it was worth the chance of not getting caught and have done the same thing twice since then. Pathetic punishments

Until people are held accountable for their actions it's just gonna get worse.

The ‘Worst’ case surely should have got more than a fine and 3 points? That could have been a fatal head-on!

Broken system in this country when it comes to punishing people for crimes / offences. The CPS really have a lot to answer for

Glad you have time to make such a video. Have you found my car yet?

so #6 got taken to court because they refused to give details - OK a very foolish course of action that cost them dearly. All the same though #1 forced someone off the road but got the "standard" £100 +3 pts. Hardly deterrence in the latter case.

Only 3 points for the van driver who jumped the lights, should've been more, not only was it blatant as in the lights were not just changing but at that speed a collision could've been potentially fatal

Number 8 - Am I missing something or does that road layout place you in the path of oncoming traffic as soon as you cross the lights?

I feel no. 2 deserves a slight bonus for creativity.

These punishments are a disgrace. Most of those drivers are putting lives at risk and they're being sent on a puny course. I think the police in this country have lost the plot.

Trouble is once it goes to court feeble magistrates fail to follow up with the punishment because the accused always has an excuse. Need transport for a job ,child care ,sick parents etc and the offender gets off with a pathetic fine or,in some cases nothing at all

Good video but lose the crap music as it adds nothing to it.

The worse your driving the lesser your punishment is what I've learnt from this. Number 6, while silly, did the safest unsafe overtake and got taken to the cleaners, whereas others such as the worst got 3 points and 100 quid after almost creating a huge mess!

3 points for contravening a lane closure sign (I had to watch it 3 times before I got what they meant), and 3 points for driving through a red at speed don't seem like welll balanced punishments.

Dorset’s Operation Snape seemed to generate harsher (and more appropriate) penalties?

Driving through red-light at 40mph, driving head on into cars, going round a roundabout the wrong way are all the same as doing 45mph in a 40mph zone. £100 and 3 penalty points. Doesn't seem right to me.

No2 is definitely "drive it like you stole it." No wonder he had no isnsurance.

In VOLUME 1 at the same junction a driver did the same and ignored the 'lane closed' sign, and had to attend a course and got no fine or points. Who judges who gets done for how much? Consistency might help.

Woefully inadequate consequences for the majority of these shocking drivers - especially the last one.

Right, so a car sweeps across a cycle lane, mounts a pavement, nearly hits a pedestrian, and all in aid of getting to a junction a little faster, gets to attend a course. Meanwhile a car fails to spot a lane signal which is pretty rare to begin with, on a weird road layout that makes it a very easy error to make, and corrects it as soon as the error becomes apparent, and gets points and a fine? And sure, it may have been deliberate, but it’s at least an open question. The guy on the pavement not so much. Get it together, yo. I saw a video from Devon and Cornwall which was criticised as giving out lax punishments to those who endangered other vehicles, but let off those who endangered cyclists and horse riders. Didn’t pay it much mind, but it sure does come to mind after seeing this.

My sister was almost killed by a guy overtaking on a blind bend (while he was 20mph over the limit). The number of people who overtake my artic on a road that's had half a dozen fatals is insane. But the punishments are pathetic.

In Dubai, one red light costs you your job and you're deported if you're a foreigner. Sadly, we can't do this in the UK. £100 is NOT a deterrent. £600 + court costs + victim costs + 6 points = YES! ALL infractions should be reported to their insurance company. THAT would be a long term deterrent! And I would like to see anyone on a driving course to MEET someone who has had a family member killed by a dangerous driver!

Those drivers should’ve been fined more money for endangering other people

Lane closed was a bit harsh esp: when the next clip shows running a red light with the same fine.!!!!!

The person who nearly ran over the jogger gets a course but the person who moved in to lane 1 because of a red cross above the road a few metres too late gets a fine and points?

Stop being so lenient. That last one should’ve been at least 6 points if not a ban. Almost caused a serious accident that would’ve happened if not for the person with the camera.

Number 8 wasn't necessary

Last one was potentially very dangerous - should have been much more severe penalty

The driver going the wrong way around a roundabout should have been banned

I really don’t understand some punishments here. This is what irritates the public. The vehicle that drove through the lane closure sign endangers absolutely no one, corrects the mistake (without trying to race off the lights by the way and cut the other driver up) and yet gets the same punishment as the final clip which could have been horrific. Please don’t give me the answer “we don’t dish the punishment out”. The former shouldn’t have even been prosecuted and the latter should have been appealed by the CPS as that punishment is too lenient

£100 fines!! A lot of people spend that on a meal out for goodness sake!!

Why would I report bad driving when the penalties are so paltry?

So for £100 you can do as you like. Great punishment.

The problem with our country not getting tough on driver crime, is firstly the testing system (a minimum standard), and secondly causing a death by driving is not treated as manslaughter.

fines and other punishments are nowhere near severe enough...UK courts need to get a grip and start to issue proper fines and permanent license removal.

I hate littering as someone who has to walk on a road to get to the next village its a pain

the last one should attempted murder , re-test + fine + points minimum

No.3 & No.1 should be banned from driving.

Very lenient punishments LP.....Take a look at the Devon version of this and see ho they really should be penalised.

If that’s all they are getting for this stuff, no wonder our roads are bad. Same result for overtaking on a solid white line into oncoming traffic as for not noticing a Red Cross

Ther fact that some of those were just 3 points and low fines is disgraceful when the requirement for Sec2 RTA is clearly met and you should have charged it.

sort out the music its crap and non appropriate for the video turned it off instantly

I love these videos and information. I wonder if Derbyshire Constabulary have a similar set up?

#1 Risking a head on collision with another car that could have resulted in fatalities = hundred quid fine, mate, and a few points on your licence. Back in the car next day.

Would love to see more of these videos, love a good dashcam comp

£100 fine and 3 points for crossing a solid? You must be f*n joking- chuck away the key!

Those fines are so low, know wonder driving in spalding is so bad.

The fines and points should be far greater for drivers in German cars.

The clowns put on driving courses should just be banned - deliberate acts of bad driving.

£100 fine and 3 points for nearly causing a head on smash, what a joke...

Number 1 and 3 are joke punishments.

Where was the fine for littering on the first clip? Ridiculous.

Horrific...

0:55 - Those lane closed signs - why are there 3 lights when there's only 2 lanes which merge into one just after the signs?

if find the pricing odd, there is only one with a decent bill and most got just 100 quid an 3 points off, for some agregious violations with oncoming traffic or risk to peds and scooters.. they got of VERY light

Saner people locked up than some of these numpties. Disgraceful scenes.

It won’t belong until the police ask the public to solve real crimes.

I just bought a dashcam as in 40+ years of driving I have recently witnessed some of the most appalling displays of driving ever on the M5

I'm no Expert.... but some of that 'Driving' looked like Dangerous Driving rather than Driving without due care ?

What happens when rear number plate is obscured by dirt? I think that’s an offence in itself. Can Police still ID vehicle from dashcam?

Punishments are no longer fit for purpose. They want less cars on the road then crush everyone that contravenes the law and take their licence for good

#8 1:03 this looks like it's designed to maximise revenue from fines. It's a terrible layout. Lumping this in with some of the other ones you show here illustrates exactly why so many people have such contempt for road policing.

Remarkably lenient punishments for drivers putting lives at risk! Punishments are more severe in Devon and Cornwall, they've got it right.

I just got 3 points and £100 fine for driving at 83mph on a clear motorway. My bad I know. But, running a red light at speed; going wrong way around a roundabout; some of the nigh-on suicidal overtaking moves - all seem to get same punishment. Meh! And, No, I do not wish to moves to Lincs..............

I'd have done the same as the white car on clip nine.

Number 1 wouid have got a face full of me, cos i wouldn't have moved over up onto the verge. Had it happen already, wrote my car off, but more importantly he wrote his off, got some points, some fines and a couple plaster casts and time off work. Justice.

Some of these incidents and the stupid penalties and driving courses that were awarded are horrifying. #3 for example £100 and 3 points? Are you kidding me!

Number 8 was harsh

Driving school? Really? 6 points might make them think.....$500 fine might help! Yeah, licence suspension. Maybe then they will slow down.

Doesn't seem a big enough fine! Insanity some of them! 👍

And so it may continue...

When are you going to punish your own for using their radios whilst driving they are after all only mobile phones the bulk of which hang on the bottom of the Orange/EE network but of course they have had special training and if anyone believs that they need their bumps feeling

Can you prosecute a driver using dashcam footage when you can't see who's driving on the camera footage?

just driving like highly trained police officers do

The fines are absolutely pathetic, you need to increase them by ten fold and people will think more about their actions…

how is 4 a driving course ?

Drivers training courses seem very weak to me.

While I think this is good 'dash cam policing' but there's inconsistency in the punishment and just doesn't seem enough for some of these offences. Just a thought, and be gentle with me here. But how can it be proved that the date on the dash cam clips are correct? It could have happened in 2019 but the dash cam is recording as though March 2023, and the current driver bought the car in 2021

2:43, hard to tell who was at fault, did cammer signal a right turn?

Wtf that golf!

Poor choice of music in my opinion. I don't understand the use of upbeat music as a background to criminal offences.

Piss poor fines in the UK

I recently did my cbt and got a bike and the amount of stupid old drivers on the roads is crazy there insurance is only 150 quid a year and mine is over 900 quid yet they have no clue about the rules of the road

Lincolnshire definitely the place to drive like a maniac if you're that way inclined, the penalties are a complete fucking joke !!!!!

Need all forces to show videos like this. Public shaming and shown on national TV. Also showing the public the offender's got what they deserve. Would make for a big audience. It's just a shame those giving the finger to the law. For still using there mobile phones while driving. It should be £1000 fine and instant 3 month ban. And with nationally televised should stop others from losing there lives to those who don't care.

so many snitches sending in their little clips, hilarious. also something about hubris

about 4 years ago i got £375 and 6 point , caught by a speed camera van on dual carriage way 87 mph . it was mid day perfect weather with no traffic about . most of these offences i would say were far more dangerous than mine and most only £100 and 3 points .. there behind me now though and that was only offence for last 10 years .....

If this idiot driver has been convicted of failure to comply with solid white lines he has a right to appeal. The line was broken on his side, "This means you may cross the lines to overtake if it is safe, provided you can complete the manoeuvre before reaching a solid white line on your side." (Highway code). He should surely have been charged with dangerous or reckless driving, notwithstanding the "if it is safe". Video poor blurred picture and really awful and unnecessary "music".

Why are the fines so low?

It's laughable seeing all those near head on collision causing idiots ONLY get £100 fine and 3 points ---- wow that's a real deterrent ---- not Bans are a waste of time too ----- prison best bet ---- may seem harsh but have you ever seen a head on collision --- when you do ---- you'd agree with me

Number 1 and number 8 got the same penalty?!

Sorry but that last one should have been at least 6 points. Absolute tosser driving or should I say trying to drive.
