Hundreds of free dashcams are set to be made available for frequent users of main routes in East Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire in a bid to improve road safety.
The Department for Transport has awarded the office of the Humberside Police and Crime Commissioner £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. Up to 350 dashcams are being bought, and the OPCC is working with Nextbase and Chilli Tech to roll out this programme.
This will also help ensure coverage across the Humber region. Bryn Brooker, Nextbase’s head of marketing, commented: “We are really happy to be supporting the Operation Snap – journey cams in Humberside – this is a really exciting opportunity to make a real difference in people’s daily drives and improve road safety.
