Road safety in Sussex

Road safety data portal

Our road safety data portal publishes a variety of collision, camera and Operation Crackdown data.

Operation Crackdown

Op Crackdown gives the Sussex community an opportunity to report specific instances of anti-social driving and/or riding in Sussex. Launched in 2007, use of Op Crackdown has risen steadily with approximately 900 reports being received each month.

How can you report anti-social driving/riding?

Please visit the Operation Crackdown website to report anti-social driving/riding.

What information will you need?

• The vehicle’s make, model and licence plate number.
• The location of the incident – the more information you can give, the better.
• Any more information about the driver/rider – rough age and gender.
• You will be asked for your contact details at the end of the form. These will help us keep you up to date and give us the opportunity to contact you again should we need any more information.
• You will not be identified if the offending driver/rider is contacted.

What constitutes anti-social driving?

The phrase ‘anti-social driving/riding’ can cover many different behaviours on the road which may include:

• Speeding by individuals
• Using a mobile phone at the wheel
• Not wearing a seat belt
• Careless/aggressive driving

It is important to note that Operation Crackdown should NOT be used for emergency situations (such as drink-driving) – these should be reported via the 999 emergency number.

The project also targets specific instances of anti-social behaviour and should not be used for reporting generalised speeding complaints in an area. If you wish to comment on specific roads or areas, you should contact your local highway authority.
