    UK now like Switzerland - full of little hitlers

    Video: Dash cam footage of dangerous overtaking lands driver in jail in UK first - Telegraph

    If he was charged with something criminal then fine.

    But dangerous driving? On footage posted by a member of the public?

    Maybe I should just ignore the personal liberty concerns and get a head cam for my bike. I nearly get run over, by a dangerous driver, at least once a day. If every cyclist did this the courts would be forever busy.....

    They've out-sourced traffic police's duties to the public.

          They have. Places round here have had volunteers, mainly silly farts, standing on roads with speed meters.

            What is there to complain about here? A member of the public reports someone for breaking the law, the police look into it and they are charged and found guilty.

              For all we know the twat in question may have had a string of convictions for similar offences, and perhaps was driving without insurance.

                even if its a first offence the driving was so bad I'm glad he is off the road.
                Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                  Indeed. Would it have been better if he'd killed that van driver in a head on crash before being prosecuted?

                    In this case it does not seem too bad. But its a slippery slope.
