Driver caught on Compcam is jailed

A first for the UK - looks like drivers are catching on where cyclists led.

"A dangerous driver has become the first person in the UK to be jailed by footage after a video showing his reckless overtaking move that forced a Ford Transit van off the road was posted online.

James Stocks, 24, from Tilson, Cheshire, was handed an eight-month sentence after he pulled off the two heart-stopping overtakes on the A495 in Shropshire in April.

The out-of-control driver's black Volkswagen Golf nipped past a silver Ford Ka on a blind bend, causing the Transit van to take emergency action and swerve on to a verge."

What a remarkable coincidence - a driver with the same name, same type of
car at the same place as the one you posted four minutes later doing the
same offence!

Or did you just post it twice?

I deleted the first one as I misspelled compocam in the title.

Now come on - it is the early evening. He's probably been in the garage pit
all afternoon on the sauce. Fairs fair.
