The registration number, date, time and location were the main points to note.
If there was a police officer available, it might be possible to stop the dangerous driver, but police also had the ability, under the Transport Act, to send the registered vehicle owner a letter after the incident asking them to identify the driver at the time.
While the truckie did not want to be named, police were encouraging him to make contact with them to go through the footage and see if there was any chance of identifying the drivers.
"If nothing is done and these drivers are not reported, who knows how long it will be until they seriously injure or kill another road user?" Inspector Ewers asked.
The truck driver, who had more than 20 years' experience, said he believed the only way to lower the road toll was to change the mentality and behaviour of motorists.
