UK: Driver filmed veering across lanes forcing motorist towards central reservation
A man has been found guilty after footage captured his dangerous driving which forced another motorist to steer towards a central reservation.
Another motorist, who was driving in the right-hand lane, was seen flashing their headlights at Baxter. Following this, Baxter drove his vehicle across the carriageway which forced the other vehicle to steer close to the central reservation barrier.After reviewing the footage which was uploaded to the Force's Operation Snap online portal, police officers felt that it proved the 33-year-old had deliberately caused the other driver to take evasive action.
Baxter was also ordered to complete 100 hours unpaid community work and pay £545 costs and a £95 victim surcharge. PC Mo Allsopp-Clarke of Northamptonshire Police’s Safer Roads Team said: “Baxter pleaded not guilty to the offence, claiming his vehicle had a mechanical defect, which the magistrates’ did not accept.
The driver who submitted the dash-cam footage was also prosecuted for driving without due care and attention because the video footage revealed that they remained in the off-side lane prior to the incident when the nearside lane was clear.
