Operation Snap

A motorist was travelling on the A485 Rhydargaeau when they were passed by a driver travelling over the 30mph limit.

The offending motorist was summoned to Court, where they were given a fine of £120 and 6 penalty points on their licence.

Footage was provided by a member of the public showing the driver of a vehicle travelling at speed and undertaking the witness who was travelling in lane 2 of the A55 dual carriageway. The offending vehicle then forces its way into lane 2 as it overtakes a vehicle in lane 1, forcing the vehicle already in lane 2 to brake sharply. Offender then immediately attempts to undertake another vehicle that was in lane 2 but was actually moving back into lane 1. The driver’s actions caused numerous vehicles to brake harshly, and a collision was narrowly avoided. The driver was identified, however they failed to comply with the Conditional Offer of a Fixed Penalty.  

The matter was sent to Court where the driver pleaded guilty to driving without due care/attention and was issued with fines/costs totalling £706 and 6 penalty points.

A driver on A485 Betws submitted footage to GoSafe through Operation Snap of another driver contravening a red light.

The case was referred to Court and the offender was given a fine of £66 and 3 penalty points on their licence.
