Do you meet a lot of reckless drivers on the roads who don't bother with any road traffic rules at all? You are not alone. However, the authorities in Great Britain have evidently run out of patience with these sinners, so they are about to start a rather unconventional fight against them. In cooperation with the police, they created an application that will serve drivers to capture violations and report them directly to the police, who will subsequently punish them. 

The principle of the application should be absolutely simple. The phone with the app installed is simply attached to the windshield of the car so that its rear camera has the best possible view of the outside, and then the app is launched. As soon as the owner of the phone does so, it starts recording to catch any infractions. Once that happens, the owner of the phone will be able to send the recording to the police, who will receive it within a few tens of seconds and will be able to start solving it. And when we say "solve," we really mean "solve." It is precisely thanks to the cooperation of the police in the development of the application that the recordings are to be viewed as classic evidence, so that sinners should not simply avoid punishment. 

As for the individual offenses that can be reported via the application, it should be about the "classics" such as bad parking, running a red light, ignoring the turn signals, using the phone behind the wheel, as well as reporting speeding. Here, however, the question arises as to how exactly the application can prove the speed, because for example police speed radars must meet strict certifications and it is therefore hard to imagine that only data obtained based on movement for GPS and the like would be sufficient for mobile speed measurement . However, we should know everything soon - in the UK, the application will start already in May.
