In Switzerland you can report any other driver without need of any camera footage. For example, if you're driving in town at 50 km/h, and someone passes you, it clearly means he is driving faster than 50 km/h and therefore over the limit. A simple call or email saying the place, time and car model, colour and plate number means a direct fine to this person. Swiss are all “vigilantes”.
I can’t confirm this is still working that way. Have the Swiss laws changed? I don’t know… Maybe someone living in Switzerland reading this can confirm it still goes on like this?
In my personal case, if there is no accident or real terrible situation, I won’t use my dashcam footage to report a stupid driver. But I totally understand the point of view of those who would. The only question is: where is the limit to consider a stupid driving dangerous enough to the point of reporting it? That would be the debate, IMHO.
This is how I think today. Maybe tomorrow if I see a stupid driver doing such dangerous thing that I would report him, even if he doesn’t provoke an accident in front of me.
