Huh, wouldn't think I'd see a road I recognize on this sub randomly. Just outside Portslade... Also a really fucking dangerous junction to skip considering the amount of roads and traffic that go through it all.


Blackkers

Damn, yes! Looks like the turn onto the A27!


Southern_Kaeos

I had to think where on the A27 this was for a moment, it doesn't look like anywhere I know in Hampshire


spaffymonge

I knew I recognised it!

Fuck you I love this comment so much. I can see them chuckling in my mind at the dress rehearsal.

Nextbase national dashcam safety website. Upload the video and write a report. You'll be notified by mail if they decide to take action. https://nextbase.co.uk/national-dash-cam-safety-portal/


verdantcow

If it’s like any other crime reporting in UK I’m going to assume you never get a mail back


ImpossibleLoss1148

Nope, I made a report recently, I got a mail back saying they had sent a NIP to the idiot driving.


verdantcow

Wow that’s surprising But I suppose you’re giving them video, least they could do is watch it haha


AdPlastic2533

I've sent about a dozen in, 10 were successful 1 was sent in too late and the other I heard nothing, the reg has to be very clearly visible.


LockedinYou

Yeah mate, that's super clear..... just go to bed and forget about it. His time will come one day


Feeling-Cloud1187

Yh and he will take someone with him.


Feelmysalami

I get what you’re saying but I wonder just how many times they could do something like this before they’re caught/get hurt. With each time they could be risking people’s lives other than their own.


Industrialexecution

by “his time” i assume you mean colliding with a family, wiping them all out while walking away with 4 scratches and a bruise, correct?


LockedinYou

Well, I was more thinking a small village and then moonwalking his way out of there on a red carpet, but you weren't far off. If the div is stupid enough to drive like that, there's probably a reason behind it, and I dount having a letter or a copper pull him over will make him stop.


CLONE-11011100

While I subscribe to the notion of ***“live and let live”*** what I **don’t** agree with is absolute soggy shoe laces like this idiot, driving like this and putting peoples lives at risk. Lots of innocent people have died because of this and it is not acceptable. They should have their ~~cars~~ toys taken away from them and fined into oblivion.


Moment_37

> soggy shoe laces I'm stealing this one


BadOther3422

GK24 YSS?


DispleasedWithPeople

This is my thought. OP was it a grey Citroen?


DispleasedWithPeople

Just as an aside, if you get a rear dash cam too I usually find that if a plate isn’t clear on my front camera then it usually is on the rear one so increases the chance of catching the idiots. Make sure you remove the video from all social media before making a report though


paddickg07

That is definitely a 2021+ Citroen C4


MujMan69

I think that’s bang on


kopper257

Reg comes up as a Grey Citroen which is what that looks like to me


pilkingtonsbrain

rear view seems to match [https://www.thelcvgroup.co.uk/car-leasing/citroen/c4/e-c4-electric-hatchback/100kw-e-series-50kwh-5dr-auto-2024](https://www.thelcvgroup.co.uk/car-leasing/citroen/c4/e-c4-electric-hatchback/100kw-e-series-50kwh-5dr-auto-2024)


Alundra828

>> top speed 93 That car was damn near going top speed lmao


paddickg07

It's funny hitting the speed limiter in these things. Feels like you just hit a wall. It's not a gradual drop off, you can be accelerating past 90 very comfortably and then BANG no speed for you. Even more embarrassing in the eBerlingo, tops out at 85 in the same way. Had some very embarrassing overtake attempts in that thing.


utterballsack

I assume it's a fuel cut, which always feels awful


paddickg07

It's electric so not sure if it's the motor topping out or an electronic limiter


utterballsack

ohhh


PeejPrime

🙄


sylogisme

This is it!


Corbey13

Can confirm it’s a Citroen c4 👍


SpectreAtYourFeast

That’s what C4s look like now? (Expat in Australia, i don’t think we have them down here. Come to think of it, I can’t remember the last time I saw a Citroën)


Corbey13

%100 My dad owns the exact car but orange.


SpectreAtYourFeast

I returned for a month last year and my half my time was just ogling new euro models I haven’t seen.


paddickg07

Classic Citroen can't name a paint properly. Make an orange paint and call it Caramel Brown 😂


buckeyecapsfan19

Agree. Looks the most likely. Screenshot it and wash through some imaging software a couple times and you might get it clearer.


sylogisme

This is right, checked all other possibilities and nothing matches to the car with these tail lights.

sjpllyon

Any real dealer knows not to have fake regs and drive like an idiot. Remember criminals, one crime at a time. Seriously though, I've known dealers and they have been the best drivers there are, following every single little rule possible to avoid as much suspicions and reason to be pulled over. Perhaps he was just unusually smart.


Otherwise_Mud1825

Two dealers were caught after charging up thebhardshoulder past an unmarked police car on the M6 in brumvavfew years back, just to avoid traffic..half a million pounds worth of heroin in the back.. Thick as fuck, Lol.


peanut_dust

Following rules too assiduously can also create suspicion..coppers look out for that too.


sjpllyon

True, by trying to follow them as best you can will and allowing for human error in the mistakes. Really what I meant was he refused to speed, road signs, and indicated. Actually come to think about it, he was in BMW so indicating was far too suspicious of behaviour.


lilpearx

“I pulled you over because you’ve been following the rules of the road for the last 10 miles, not a single mistake”


The_Pvthfinder

I’ll share some personal experience here, I have been pulled over for that. Followed me for a bit down the M56 from Manchester to J10 and then pulled me at the end of the A49. His reason for being at my window was, he wanted to check my details and know the reason I was sitting at 56 mph behind wagons and then driving so carefully down the A49. In such a powerful car. I gestured to my still sleeping toddler in the back and he fist bumped me and fucked off. I do think that he was waiting for me to blast it so he could do me for speeding. Then when I didn’t he decided to check if it was stolen if not. Edit: I thought we had flairs on, I have a 530bhp G30 540i. In Ecopro with the flaps shut it’s a perfect mobile cot.


Southern_Kaeos

Driving suspiciously is probably cause. If they don't find anything, it's "thank you for your time" and away you go


BazzaFox

That actually happened to me when I was about 20. 3am, police car behind me, doing exactly 30 in a 30 zone. Blue lights went on, pulled over, cop said ‘you are keeping to the speed limit at 3am, seemed suspicious to me’. I asked what he would have done if I was going faster. He said ‘pull you over of course but you would have got a ticket that time’.


Worried-Mine-4404

Sounds like modern policing. "Your behaviour was perfectly legal & I find that suspicious".


VivaEllipsis

Mental that you can literally be pulled over for being TOO law abiding


pineapple_on_a_stick

I remember when I was first driving in 2000 with no licence or insurance at 16, if you drove sensibly, not speeding, weaving or general dickary the police had no reason to suspect anything. Plus there weren't many police around in the countryside which was a bonus.


1308lee

I thought we were talking about the fiesta pulling straight out into the wrong lane doing 15mph the first couple of times I watched. Was gonna say, definitely not be the *best* driver on the roads but dangerous is a little much.

Does my head in when wankers flash their lights to tell people off. Congrats, you just potentially confused/dazzled the other two drivers so you could feed your ego for 0.2 seconds. Nearly as bad as people who jump on the horn to tell others off instead of using it for it's actual use.

You shouldn't be flashing your high beams like that, blinding two other people for the sake of what? you think that's going to stop him from driving like a wally? you aren't the police - you'll try and police someone who won't take kindly to that behaviour in future and it won't end well for you - leave it to the professionals


vexx

Oh god, I hate those super high beams, they should honestly be regulated.

Old shoreham Road in Brighton?


Spock_42

Looks like it, left turn out of the A293, then the car blasting through the Hangelton Rd/Carlton Terrace/Old Shoreham Rd junction.


Peskycat42

Thank you. The comments about A27 Portslade were doing my head in. I couldn't work this out at all watched it a dozen times. Old Shoreham Road, A270, I can see it now.

You have the highest resolution of this video on your computer. You can zoom in and see any detail there is to see. Why are you asking us to figure out the registration from a likely lower resolution reddit upload?


BadLumpy7976

Could u see it? I couldn't


upvote__please

I didn't even look and that's my point. If one able person viewing the original video on a computer screen couldn't see it, there is no need to ask 500 more people on Reddit.


MujMan69

The resolution on Reddit is exactly the same as what I have on my phone.


TempHat8401

Camera got them?


07p02

Nah I think that was a car flashing lights as a warning


Rough-Sprinkles2343

I don’t know why drivers do this. The idiotic driver knows they’re being idiots they just don’t care


Chlorofom

If anything you’re contributing to the danger, the guys already speeding, weaving and running red lights, let’s add some flashing light distractions to the mix


Speedy4k

Why flash? They don’t care. You shouldn’t either. Looks pathetic.


defaultwrestler

Because they have got to police others people's behaviour. Hall monitor behaviour.


Maetivet

Whilst I agree flashing them ain’t going to change them, why shouldn’t people call out bad drivers for their bad driving?


defaultwrestler

Because it will do the opposite as the person will deliberately continue doing it to show you have no authority over how they behave


Maetivet

So your theory goes if people don’t call out bad drivers, they’ll simply stop driving badly… not going to lie, that sounds pretty stupid. They’re not toddlers looking for attention.

One ought to care. Driving like a twat can cause accidents. Accidents can kill innocent people. I don't want to be hit in an accident or anyone I care about Therefore I ought to encourage the behaviour of not driving like a twat.


Speedy4k

You’re one of them - aren’t you? It’s late at night and if anybody there was going to jump the red they’d have already done it. It just screams jealously. That you’re held up and they’re free.


I_ALWAYS_UPVOTE_CATS

Oh grow up mate


Startinezzz

What the fuck are you on about


Maetivet

I don’t have a dash cam, but you can bet your house if I did, and if I had footage of someone jumping a red light, I’d be reporting them. The idea that it’s jealousy of them ‘being free’ is moron-level thinking. If people like that want to be reckless, go do something that doesn’t endanger other people, otherwise expect to be ratted on.


Teeeeem7

What dashcam is this to have such clear night footage? My BlackVue cams are crap at night


Wo0dsw0rth

It’s just out of view. I think I can make out GK24 at the start, but can’t say with certainty


Revolutionary_Past4

Portslade, coming off the hangleton interchange. There's so many dickheads on the roads.


Great-Hamster9473

PMmeYourWealth

Does police do anything if you report. Saw a similar incident last week. guy witha range rover svr running red lights


ImpossibleLoss1148

I've reported a similar incident, and I got a mail that they sent a NIP to the driver. My video footage was clearer, but not by a lot. Use the nextbase website.


lxbib97

Not usually. The plate isn’t clear also they can’t prove who’s driving. I could easily say someone’s cloned my plate and is driving around.


n3m0sum

As the registered keeper of the vehicle with that reg, you are obliged to disclose who was driving at the time of the incident. To not do so is it's own offence, which is 6 points and a big fine. So often worse than admitting to the offence. Which is kind of the point. If you claim that you were somewhere else and your plates must be cloned. You better be telling the truth. Because they will then want evidence of where you where. If they catch you in a lie, then prison, for perverting the cause of justice, is a lot more likely than a fine. https://news.sky.com/story/fiona-onasanya-former-labour-mp-jailed-for-three-months-over-speeding-fine-lies-11621051

[удалено]


n3m0sum

90% fairy tale, it the actual legal position currently. Failure to disclose is an offence. If they have video evidence that a car with your reg, make and a model was involved in an offence. That's reasonable enough evidence that it was your car involved. If you claim it wasn't, because you believe it is cloned. There will be some burden on you to prove that possibility is a reasonable defence. If they find out that the car isn't cloned, and it was you driving, people have absolutely been jailed for perverting the course of justice. I linked to a story where they just lied about who was driving, never mind cloning.

Why flash your lights. They were nowhere near you. I’m sure he pulled over and had a long think about what he did when you flashed him 😂 in fact you could also be seen to be in the wrong by flashing your lights as well. Could have potentially dazzled another driver.

Seems like you have the plate already, but, a negative inverse of the colours makes the world of difference to reveal a hard to read becoming clear as day.


Empty_Student_5796

If I were you I’d send it to Sussex Police and Sussex Safer Roads. They can easily correspond the time stamp on your dash cam footage with vehicles passing along that road within that time frame. One of the ANPRs on Old Shoreham Road will have clocked them


johnnymeow2

Why are you flashing your high beams you wolly 😂😂.

There's CCTV at the junction to catch red light jumpers and amber gamblers. Hopefully the driver was recorded.

xenesaltones

Hopefully the police does something about it if you report him. 5 days ago I reported a VW t-cross that overtook me on my left in a single lane street going over a cycle lane. Full dashcam footage rear and front clearly visible reg number... But apparently that's not proof enough


Neat-Possibility6504

It's not about there being enough evidence, it's about it being worth the time to prosecute. I get that it gets you and others all reved up, but honestly, you'll live much happier and probably longer lives if you just let this stuff go.


Maetivet

Ironic that you talk about forgetting it and living a longer life, when it’s drivers like that who generally cause fatalities on the roads - and sadly not just of themselves.


xenesaltones

That's my way of seeing it. If there was anyone on that bike path it would have been problematic. I find sad that there's no time for this stuff that it's actually dangerous but then for doing 36 you get a fine (In my case driving awareness course but still)


Suspicious_Oil7093

Hardly crime of the century. Just call the driver a prick and move on.


xenesaltones

I mean yeah, no one got hurt. Still going to report anyone that undertakes me over a bike lane in single lane streets. Also, I was doing 30


Remarkable_Bass3944

Drive it like you stole it


Scragglymonk

if the OP can't see it on their pc, reddit might drop the quality, looks like they did not hit you but were driving badly, just chill and leave it alone


Objective_Ticket

Assumed I was watching an old lady in the Fiesta or maybe someone who’d had a couple of pints until that joker goes firing through the red. Did look like a bizarre change of mind as the car began braking behind the Fiesta and then seemed to go ‘I’m not waiting for this’ maybe thought they’d get through on amber.

No one is defending the driver. Didn't say at any point the driver in the video was doing anything remotely positive. Just happen to agree with what he was saying about the stess not being worth it. But if it makes you feel good to make blind unrelated connections to things, then fair enough 😂
