Twelve drivers on their phones in #Edinburgh today, in about an hour of cycling time. That's 72 endorsement points and £2,400 of fines @PoliceScotland
could issue if they'd delivered the fabled dashcam portal. Sadly I don't have two days to report them all the old-fashioned way.

As Deacon alludes to above, Police Scotland last year announced funding for a new National Dashcam Safety Portal, but the yet to be rolled-out scheme has since been under review and could be axed, prompting a campaign from Cycling UK (link is external) to save it.

Submissions from Scotland presently should go through the time-consuming Police Scotland Online Reporting Form, full details of how to report can be found in our handy feature...

On the topic of riders catching phone-using motorists, yesterday we shared the story of a road.cc reader who was assaulted and knocked off his bike on Christmas Eve 2021 after challenging a driver for their phone use...
Akil James was sentenced at Westminster Magistrate's Court in November and received five penalty points on his driving licence, a £2,000 fine, £620 costs to the Crown Prosecution Service, £200 victim surcharge and £500 compensation to the cyclist (still unreceived).

It was only a £1000 fine when a cyclist killed a motorcyclist.

Somewhat of a disparity there.

Another one from today — she sees me, shoots me a wee smile, turns back to her phone and carries on scrolling away. (Bonus cargo bike taxi footage near end!)
