    In my country you can submit a photo of this to the local police with a statement swearing it’s a true photo, then your name and tax ID number. Then in 6-9 months the vehicle owner will receive a citation and fee in the mail.

    It’s fun because you have a serial offender who thinks they are getting away with it like this, but in 6-9 months they will get the first few and correct their behavior but continue to receive the citations. Then they will finally look at the dates of the offense on the citation and realize they have thousands of euros in fees still coming for months of shitty behavior.

      Oh, man. We want immediate justice so often, but I almost think the delay is the best part of that.

      Still means 6 months of cyclist frustration though…

        Well, would be better if you could submit it anonymously.

        we need an (optional) open source app for that where you just open the app and take a picture (with license plate visible) and click “submit”. It submits the time, location, and photo. If it takes more than 30 seconds to report this, they failed.
