So as most drivers know, sometimes you get those people who will brake check you, cut you off so you have to slam on your brakes, tailgate you, etc etc. Many times there is no reason they are doing it other than they are careless, or it's their idea of having fun. One time someone started throwing coins out his window at me after he passed me (I was going 15mph over the speed limit, but he wanted to go around 40mph over, it was a single lane so I couldn't just change lanes).
If you record someone breaking the law on your dashcam, could you simply send it to the Police? Is this effective or is this a waste of police time and a waste of your own time?
I am not looking to be a traffic crime fighter, but sometimes I get very irritated with other drivers and wish there was something I could do other than sit back and take abuse from other drivers while convincing myself to not ram their car off the road. Really, if someone is being aggressive against you, you either are going to be aggressive back, or try your best to ignore them and huddle into your turtle shell. I am the type of person who tends to fight back, so it is very hard to keep my cool when someone is purposely being a pain. If I knew I could just report them to the police, I would be at complete ease knowing that they will actually receive consequence for being a menace on the road.
