A Woking man whose dashcam captured him driving erratically, halting traffic and overtaking at speed, has had his driving licence suspended, according to a Surrey Police press release.

A Surrey Police spokesperson said: “A man whose dashcam captured him driving erratically, halting traffic and overtaking at speed has had his driving licence suspended for five years.

“Officers were investigating a report of an assault when they collected the dashcam of Robin Cull, who had been injured in an alleged hit-and-run on Woking Road, Guildford, back in March of this year. Cull, 47 (DOB: 29/06/1978) of Claremont Avenue, Woking, claimed the driver of a black Golf had driven at him, resulting in a broken leg.

“While it initially appeared that Cull had been the victim of a road-rage incident, investigating officers searching his vehicle’s dashcam were shocked to find footage capturing Cull driving at speed across the county, overtaking several vehicles, and reaching speeds of up to 130mph on the A3.

“Officers identified a segment of the footage in which Cull was captured ‘tailgating’ the driver of the Golf at several points, before overtaking them at speed. Cull chose to wait in a lay-by until the other driver had caught up to him, then pulled out in front of them and reduced his speed to lows of 10mph. This stopped the driver of the Golf and subsequent traffic behind them. Cull exited his vehicle while the driver of the Golf attempted to overtake Cull’s car, and there was a collision between Cull and the Golf.

“Further investigation found no subsequent damage to the Golf. Following an extensive review, police concluded the driver of the Golf was not at fault for the collision and had met the standard expected of a competent driver. No further action was taken against the driver of the Golf, but Cull was subsequently arrested and charged with dangerous driving.

“The court later heard how police described the dashcam footage as “damming”, with officers “astounded” that Cull had managed to drive in this manner for such a prolonged period without any form of collision. Pleading guilty at Guildford Crown Court on Tuesday, 7 April, Cull was sentenced to five months in prison, suspended for 18 months, and ordered to pay more than £1,000 in costs. He will also face an extended re-test once his suspension is lifted.”

PC Pat Nixon of the Roads Policing Unit said: “Cull’s treacherous manner of driving showed a clear disregard for any rules or safety measures on our roads, and a lack of care for any other drivers across our county.

“We will continue to explore all avenues as part of our investigations, and I hope this outcome serves as a message that dangerous driving will never be tolerated.”
