i reckon its a good idea but I'm always worried that maybe some day I might un-knowingly just piss someone off or someone gets jealous. Whats to stop them from dobbing in good drivers just because of the sterotype around import drivers?

I feel like calling that number myself sometimes...

what does this number do?

if you speed past someone say, 50 k's over the limit, and they give your number plate.

how can they prove it, if you deny you were speeding. (or if you say you didn't even travel on that strip of road that day)

who's got the stronger word?

You dont get any fines they just pass the info on to the police and obviously if theres a particular section of road or area one person always does something or a number of people do shit on they target those areas and times and try and catch them in the act etc.

You cant just dob someone in and they instantly get a fine or EPA notice.

From what I understand of it, it's more information gathering so, like inark said, they can target [what the info indicates as] hot spots.

This is what Frankston classifies as hoonish activity or "ANTI-SOCIAL DRIVING":

“Anti-social driving includes excessive speeding, revving

engines, screeching brakes, skidding, fand manoeuvres called ‘fishtails’ and ‘doughnuts’ and leaving

oil on the road or causing damage to the road,”

LOLLL this is a bit much

if they invested half the time they piss away on pointless shit like this, into productive ways to work with these so called hoons, im sure they'd get much better results... but thats not what they're about unfortunately

the dob in a cigarette litterer fines are handed out in the hope you wont contest it....if you choose to contest it, chances are the person who sent it in won't want to testify in court, and the fine will be thrown in the bin

did they have any evidence? if not u should not have paid the fines.. go see a lawyer and take them to court.. then since they got no proof they cant do sh!t... then sue them for haressement and for having to take time off work and all that... fight fire with fire... these no hoon hot lines are f*kn bs coz most people dont even know what a hoon is... if my lane is ending and i accelerate to get in front of a car to change lane (not cutting the other car off) does that make me a hoon? a lot of people get the shyts and would call me a hoon coz i done it in a skyline... if i was in a camry it be fine... f*kin stipid idea... there should be a hot line to dob in fkrs who drive 90kmh on the right lane on freeways and block up traffic and even though u flash them or beep they ignore u... i hate those people and if i had an old sh!ty bomb i would "nudge" them out of the way i reckon.. >_<

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
