You could also wait until you’ve safely arrived at your destination (e. g. , your home or workplace) before calling.

You can call the hotline to report any kind of unsafe driving. For example, call if you suspect someone is drunk or high while driving, or if someone is tailgating and driving aggressively. Also call the DVLA if you suspect that an elderly person doesn’t have good enough eyesight to be driving or if someone appears to be falling asleep at the wheel.

Of course, if you are comfortable providing your name and personal information, you may give it over the phone. Say something like, “Hello, I’m driving on the M40, just past mile marker 121. I wanted to report a dangerous driver: someone in a red Corvette is driving well over the speed limit and has been aggressively cutting off other drivers. ”

If you can see that someone is injured, ask the 999 dispatcher for the ambulance (rather than the police). The police will be notified as well. The police dispatcher will also ask you to provide your name and telephone number.

Alternately, you can navigate directly to the incident-report form at: https://live. email-dvla. service. gov. uk/w2c/en_gb/forms/EFTD%20Enquiry?button=none&decision=I+have+concerns+over+a+person%27s+fitness+to+drive+and+I+wish+to+tell+the+DVLA&lang=en_gb.

Types of dangerous driving include driving while intoxicated, driving while distracted (e. g. , on your phone), driving with impaired vision, and driving aggressively (e. g. , tailgating and cutting off other drivers).

Your personal information will not be made public, although it may be shared with the police. Once your report is filed, the DVLA will look into the person’s public medical history and find out if there is a condition that makes the person unfit to drive.

For example, if you live in the Hertfordshire Constabulary, you can file reports online at: https://www. herts. police. uk/ro/report/. If you live in or near London, report dangerous driving to the Metropolitan police at: https://www. met. police. uk/ro/report/rti/report-a-road-traffic-incident/. If you’re in the jurisdiction of the West Midlands police, report driving offences here: https://www. west-midlands. police. uk/your-options/road-rage-driving-standards.

If you don’t have video evidence but just your eyewitness testimony, select the button that reads “Anti-social driving (without video evidence). ”

If you do have video evidence of the dangerous driving, you’ll be asked to upload that before submitting the report form. You’ll receive an email confirming your filed complaint. The email will contain a confirmation number. Keep this in your records.

The police ask for the confirmation number that you received via email.

If you’re not sure which constabulary zone you live in or don’t know the non-emergency number for the police force, find out online at: https://www. police. uk/pu/contact-the-police/.
