IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ TO THE END.
REPORT TO THE POLICE ALL CASES OF DANGEROUS DRIVING (Note some forces only give you 48hrs to do so).
Please follow the steps in order and remember only the police can act.
1) Report to police either via their website for submitting video evidence or 101 (if reporting via 101 ask for an incident number, many police forces will do everything they can not to give you a number but stand firm be polite and insist)
*** Suggestions for everyone when reporting these incidents >
1) Use one or more of these words "you was scared, worried, nervous, threatened"
2) Quote "inconsiderate/dangerous driving around vulnerable road users as defined under HC s215". (At least then the officer handling the report knows where to check)

For Scotland >
Contact Police Scotland on this form. An officer gets back to you, and you email them your video clip.

2) Check with police if you have to remove any videos from social media
3) Make sure you keep an unedited version of any video evidence, and it needs to be 2 minutes on either side of the incident
4) Ensure that YOU have adhered to the highway code up to, during, and after the incident
5) Gain as much evidence as you can yourself, i.e., photographs of where the incident took place, other cctv footage if available, etc. as the police will not always do this type of investigation.
6) Log on BHS incident site (note we have checked, and they do not have the capacity to store videos)
