Driver Banned After M40 Road-Rage Stop Caught on Dashcam

Police say an Operation Snap submission shows how public footage can bring reckless motorists to court.

Overview

  • Warwickshire Police released dashcam video of a February incident on the M40 near Warwick showing a pick-up forcing a halt in lane three.
  • The 38-year-old from Kent pulled in front, braked to a stop in the fast lane and confronted the motorist behind.
  • The victim submitted the footage via Operation Snap, where a road safety officer reviewed it and issued a dangerous-driving summons.
  • Coventry Magistrates’ Court sentenced the man on 14 October to a three-year driving ban, 250 hours of unpaid work and a 20-day rehabilitation requirement.
  • Inspector Dave Valente warned against anger behind the wheel and urged drivers to share evidence through Operation Snap to improve road safety.
