New app allows you to video people speeding on the road and upload video on the app. Will it deter speeders or create more tension? They cannot be prosecuted from the videos.. |

No, I don't understand all the excessive surveillance stuff. I am shocked to see how many people have got those cameras stuck on their cars they bought from lidl, aldi or wherever else. I can ocassionally have a Mr Meldrew moment but generally like a simple life.  |

The cameras are a good idea in case there's an accident so blame can be objectively determined, rather than having a "I said/ they said" situation.

I once filmed someone driving dangerously when I was a passenger in a car. It couldn't be used for prosecution but the police did add extra surveillance. Hopefully it might have gone towards preventing an accident happening in the future. |

I do understand their purpose and that some people will think them a good idea as you mentioned and that's fair enough, just not for me. I rather we all took pics of all the nasty potholes and upload them, hoping the council will take notice and fix them.  On a privacy matter, it always surprises me that these cameras don't contravene some sort of law to be honest. |

Its actually illegal to even have your phone in your hands whilst driving even if your not using it ..6 points £200 fine .
Youd need a dash cam .
Personally id never report anyone.
What goes round comes round. |

Somewhat weirdly, I'm under the impression that it's perfectly legal to film anyone in a public space without needing consent.
On the potholes: I do enjoy the creative ways people get potholes filled. A woman planted flowers in the potholes around her, and a graffiti artist known as "Wanksy" spray painted comedy cocks around the ones near them

How can the app determine if someone speeding or not
Is it going to do in depth analysis off point A on the road to point B on the road and determine the feet per second
ssc fake speed record During world lockdown in 2021 should show just how hard it is to determine if a car is going a serton speed

Our village FB group just thrives on this! There’s an action group of hi vis wearing twits with a camera. It’s absolutely pointless given nothing can be done with the evidence.
I think most people drive past & salute the poor sods ! |

I regularly drive through a village where there are three men in high viz jackets pointing a speed thing at people. They usually write your number plate down regardless of whether you're speeding or not (I know this because I'm not). One day if I'm feeling particularly annoyed I'm going to stop my car, get out and ask why three grown men are recording the details of a lone woman's car when she's simply driving along minding her own business, within the speed limit. Then I'll ask them to give me their registration numbers. We all know I probably won't do it but how on earth have we ended up at a place where neighbours are spying on each other  |

Usually it's not your neighbours, but some total cockwombles that burn up your streets.
Videoing them is unfortunately not likely to benefit anyone in this situation 
I also don't want the local councils installing more speed humps either

It expects users to pay for the app to use full functionality, including reporting. So no, it's not going to go very far.
Seems like an early beta version that developers want to milk users for cash, getting lots of free publicity |

Do it! Ask them if there isn't something more important they need to be doing, like spotting trains or ing their marrow patch. |

I'm tempted .
I know that my registration number should in theory be of no use to them but... |
