Road users are being encouraged to submit dash cam footage showing dangerous behaviour.
The Safer Essex Roads Partnership (SERP) has issued the appeal as part of a new campaign to make the region’s roads safer for everyone.
It is hoped the campaign, Extra Eyes, will reduce crashes and save lives on roads across Essex, Southend-on-Sea and Thurrock.
Nicola Foster, chair of SERP, said: “Most of the people who use roads across Essex do so responsibly and with care and consideration for other road users.
"However, a small number behave irresponsibly and inconsiderately and are a danger to others.
"As police officers can’t be everywhere, we are asking you to help us identify unsafe behaviours – by sending in your camera footage for review by a police officer.
"Extra Eyes is about raising awareness of the need to behave safely and with consideration to make sure that all road users get home safely.”
