The Citizen Participation and Public Petitions Committee will conclude its work this Parliament in March 2026 ahead of the next Scottish Parliament election. So the Committee has time to complete its work, it has agreed not to consider petitions submitted after 10 October.
The Committee will continue to meet but given the volume of petitions and agreed work programme it is unlikely that the Committee would be able to meaningfully progress work on petitions submitted after 10 October ahead of the election. Petitions lodged after this date will not fall when the Parliament is dissolved and will be for the successor committee to consider in the new session.
If you are seeking urgent action or policy change please contact one of your 8 MSPs or the Scottish Government directly.
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.
