Closed petition PE2013: Implementation of a National Dashcam Safety Portal
Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to introduce without delay a National Dashcam Safety Portal, as already agreed by Police Scotland.
Previous action taken
I have been advised by an MSP's caseworker to submit this petition after contacting the MSP about this issue.
Background information
A National Dashcam Safety Portal for drivers and other road users to submit examples of dangerous driving has already been agreed and a budget for it provided to Police Scotland in March 2022. However, so far it has not been set up nor has information been offered to citizens on why it has not been implemented. This petition asks Members and Ministers why Police Scotland's own initiative has stalled.
