An online portal for the public to upload footage of road traffic offences they have witnessed should be established as soon as possible, and could be up-and-running as early as next year, the Government has been told.

Furthermore, it has been recommended that parking in a cycle lane, bus lane, or on a footpath should be considered as “parking in a dangerous position” and see a motorist given a fine and three penalty points on their licence.
