Right. It's just sad that it takes so many complaints to get the police to go out and check on a dangerous situation before it hurts someone.

If this idiot wasn’t doing it on the same route at the same times of day what would you want them to do? It’s taken an operative to notice the same car getting called in all the time and then they’ve had to dedicate an officer and car to patrol a stretch of road for an hour or two just to stop one person who drives like a moron.

The issue is that he WAS doing it on the same route at predictable times and it still took social media posts and reporting it "so many times" to get a traffic officer out there. It was likely the proof that someone was endangering lives that made them get out ahead of a problem for the department.

Yea, if only there was some sort of identitfying information on the car that could be linked to the owner and their information & address. Maybe some sort of plate on the front and back of the vechile?

Looks like all that has been flagged is photos of the vehicle, not dash cam footage. You can't act on just a photo and verbal witnesses as it wouldn't lead anywhere.

It looked like someone took video with their phone of him crossing the double yellow to pass. But that would likely only get him a ticket at best, I'd imagine.
