One motorist has been disqualified and a further two must attend driver training courses after their 'really poor' driving was captured on dashcam.

Video footage of the drivers was submitted to Devon and Cornwall Police's Op Snap initiative which encourages drivers with dashcams to submit video evidence of any poor driving they witness.

The videos have been released by the Vision Zero South West road safety partnership as an example of what is not acceptable on the roads of Devon and Cornwall.

One of the incidents dealt with this month involved a car overtaking a horse rider too close and too fast.

Superintendent Adrian Leisk, Alliance strategic lead for roads policing, said:

"The examples captured on camera this month show some really poor driving which, in one case, resulted in a motorist losing their licence.

"I am really keen to highlight a submission from the horse-riding community this month. Dashcams are not the sole reserve of vehicle users – we can accept video footage from vulnerable road users including pedestrians, horse riders, cyclists, and motorcyclists."

Alison Hernandez, Police and Crime Commissioner for Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, is also chairman of Vision Zero South West and the national APCC lead for road safety.

Commissioner Hernandez added:

"All road users must learn to share our public highways and treat each other with respect – there's no excuse for anything less.

"This gives us 170 extra pairs of eyes on our roads to capture dangerous drivers and take action against them through Devon and Cornwall Police's Op Snap initiative.

"With more people watching, the chances of bad drivers getting caught will increase. I hope this makes motorists more alert and, in turn, will make our roads safer for everyone."
