Watch: Dangerous driver on A38 sends bucket flying from back of van
By Nub News Reporter 27th Jan 2023
The above video shows the moment a dangerous driver sent a bucket flying from the back of their van - catapulted by some loose planks.
The moment is one of thousands of clips sent to to police showing reckless driving in Devon and Cornwall.
They include dangerous overtakes, overloaded lorries and motorists speeding through red lights.
One clip shows a tyre coming loose from a tractor towing a trailer and being dragged down the A379 carriageway.
In another, wooden planks send a bucket flying on the A38 dual carriageway.
A spokesman for Devon and Cornwall Police's Head of Road Safety said: "Both of these incidents could have been far worse and resulted in death or serious injury.''
Devon and Cornwall Police received 4,736 video submissions through Op Snap in 2022, up 151% on the previous year.
Police took action against 3,400 motorists – a 135% increase on 2021.
