WIBU to send any videos of drivers using mobile phones to the police?

[Olympiathequeen]

Using my car cam? I drive 45 minutes most days mostly motorways and I see drivers using mobiles, talking, texting every day.

I couldn't watch the footage of the lorry driver who killed a family because he was using his phone, but I gather it was horrifying. It's totally wrong and infuriates me that they get away with it.

I used to take the odd call if I thought it was important, but now I will leave it or pull over or put it on Bluetooth. I wouldn't do it now as I realise how dangerous it is.

For everybody saying that OP would be a busybody or a snitch, I have this to say:

1. If you don't like being snitched on, don't do snitchworthy things.

1a. If you ARE snitched on, it's not the fault of the snitch, it's YOUR fault, for breaking the rules/law.

1. You'll be whistling out of the other side of your mouth when one of these selfish morons texts while driving and kills your loved ones - when there but for the grace of a "snitch" they might have been taken off the road before tragedy struck.

Unpopular opinion re: texting and driving (also drinking and driving). I don't give a flying fig if someone is texting and driving and kills themselves in the process - if yoúre that selfish and arrogant that you think you're above the law, then perhaps that's what you deserve. Do what you want to YOURSELF, I certainly don't care. But how DARE you endanger the lives of anyone else? How dare you think that your text, your phone call, your fifth beer, is more important than someone else's LIFE?

People who do this are revolting, and I have less than no sympathy for them when they're "snitched on" and made to face consequences. It's exactly as a PP said: driving is a privilege, not a right, and if you can't treat driving with the respect it deserves then no you don't deserve to be allowed to do it.

If you have loads of spare time to go to court as a witness and hand your camera over to have the footage downloaded (which isn't just a ten minute job) then crack on.
In the vast majority of cases you would not need to go to court, it's only if you witnessed a serious accident that you might be called.
You don't have to hand your camera over and it takes seconds to take the card out and copy the video file. You can then upload it directly to the Police.

I acknowledge using a mobile whist driving is wrong but mind your own business, no-one made you road prefect.
So if I see someone breaking into your car or mugging you, I should ignore that then?
What if I see someone who I know is really drunk getting behind the wheel, would it make me a tell-tale if I reported them?

The more cars with dash cams the better.
