If you witness unsafe or dangerous driving in the United Kingdom, you can report it to the appropriate authorities using the following methods:
1. Emergency (Immediate Danger) – Call 999
If you see a driver who is posing an immediate danger to the public (e.g., drunk driving, reckless driving, or road rage incidents), call 999 immediately.
2. Non-Emergency Reports – Contact the Police
For unsafe driving that is not an immediate threat, you can report it to the police by calling 101 (the non-emergency police number). You may need to provide:

3. Report Online – Local Police Website
Many police forces allow you to report unsafe driving online through their websites. You can check the relevant police force’s website for an online reporting form.
4. Report Dangerous Driving to Operation Snap (Dashcam Footage Submission)
If you have video evidence of dangerous driving, you can submit it via Operation Snap, a police initiative allowing the public to report reckless driving incidents with footage.
- Visit the website of your local police force and look for Operation Snap.
- Upload dashcam footage along with details of the incident.
5. Report to Crimestoppers (Anonymously) – 0800 555 111
