have been fined after being dobbed in by other motorists who sent dashcam footage of their dodgy driving to police.
Drivers overtaking on the hard shoulder, almost hitting cyclists, as well as multiple instances of ploughing through red lights are among the acts which saw 25 drivers slapped with traffic infringement notices and 35 drivers handed cautions or warnings by ACT Police.It allows motorists to upload digital videos or photos showing illegal behaviour.Tailgating, mobile phone offences and careless driving were also among the offences caught.
Road Policing officer in charge Acting Inspector Mark Richardson said dashcam footage had provided police with the "ability to have eyes anywhere, anytime". "Gone are the days where police need to be right there to be able to fine drivers for offences they commit on our roads," Richardson said."While police are happy to see so many people are already using the online portal, we are very disappointed to see the volume of poor driving behaviour occurring daily.
"This serves as a reminder to those people who choose to put other drivers at risk through your actions, just because you can't see police in sight - it does not mean that we can't see you."
