Hundreds of free dashcams are set to be made available for frequent users of East Yorkshire's main routes in a bid to improve road safety.

The Department for Transport (DfT) has awarded the office of the Humberside Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC) £65,000 for a road safety project called Operation Journey. It will allow dashcams to be bought for users of key roads, body cams for Community Speed Watch coordinators, and cycle cams for cyclists using the busiest routes.
The application process for the dashcams will ensure a focus on motorists who regularly use the road network. They must also be willing to download dashcam footage to Operation Snap on a consistent basis where they identify inappropriate driving behaviour. People will be required to specify the main roads they use and how many miles they cover. This will also help ensure coverage across the Humber region.

What the hell is wrong with this country paying for people to shop others to the authorities.I always thought it was the job of the police to police society not a bunch of bloody busy bodies.

I’ve had a dash cam for years and unless someone involved in an accident asked me for the footage, the cops can **** off, we all make errors possibly law breaking ones, but trying to turn people into grasses will end badly.
Look at all those Nazi cyclists with go pros, yes you Jeremy Vine you ****, endless footage of cars 5mm too close to a biker getting done under the new laws.

Cars are dangerous if used irresponsibly. I want people who drive dangerously off the roads before they kill me or someone I know. Cyclists are especially vulnerable. I find it weird how defensive people are of their freedom to endanger others.

This guy is very good, he's a cyclist too so, unlike Vine, has no axe to grind. This is not the first Vine video he's reviewed.

Better stay in this country then as have just about the safest roads in the world. If death rates per million vehicles were the same as they were in 1935, the year the driving test was introduced, there would have been over 90,000 last year compared to the 1,800 there were.

Are you naive enough to think there will ever be zero deaths on the roads?We have just about the safest roads in the world yet more resources are targeted on motorists than burglars, people assaulting others and a host of other things.

I didn't say that, but as technology develops we can hope deaths decrease further.

You will never get zero deaths. Even if no driver caused an accident some moron will step out without looking oblivious to their surroundings, eyes transfixed on a screen with earphones on.
