A man has been charged with dangerous driving after footage from a dashboard camera (dash cam) was posted on social media.

The 47-year-old has been reported to the procurator fiscal after Police Scotland's Road Policing Unit in Elgin was alerted to the video.

He is alleged to have carried out a dangerous overtaking manoeuvre on the A941 Lossiemouth to Elgin road on Tuesday March 8.

Sergeant Colin Matheson said: "Road users who act irresponsibly and put themselves and other people at risk should be aware that dash cams are now in common use in all types of vehicles and are capable of recording high quality images which can be used as evidence by the police.

"This incident is a perfect example of this."
