Whatever happened to the dob in a hoon hotline?
there's a bigass billboard with a hotline number on the entrance to the Western Ring Road on the Greensborough Bypass. Sounds like it's privately run though, no signage about council or police involvement.

how do you agree with both ash and sami?

thing with that hoon hotline is that you've gotta also be willing to testify in court (at least you had to beforehand), especiallly if the cops didn't get them red handed. I don't like to dob, especially not in a rural area, cause once you've made a name for yourself as a dogging bastard then people go out of their way to make life hard for you.

yeh u could be right, some pricks tryin to make a buck outta people probably. I recall once now tellin a cop that a guy on his phone cut me off n I have his plates n time of event. Cop shrugged it off n said he has to see it. So makes me wonder if anything actually is done about the more minor offences? Had a bottle thrown at my mates car n cops said they'd look into it. Makes me wonder...

dob in a hoon is stupid. i got a letter saying that someone saw me tailgating and speeding at a time i was at work its ridiculous. i called the number which was the fawkner traffic police and told them about it and he said they probably got the number plate wrong and it happens often, i then asked does this go on any record of mine and he said no so hopefully it doesnt because i dont want some made up crap on my clean record.

te police cant do anything unless the witness is willing to go to court, what they do is bully or trick you to confess what you did and bang your done and they dont need a witness. very simple keep your mounth shut and dont say you did or didnt do it if questioned, if you say no you didnt do it then goes to court with the witness and proven guilty your in more shit. simply say back to the officer, you have the report of what events have been reported and i have nothing to say about the matter. bang they leave with there tail between there legs.

now i dont mind dobbing in a drunk driver and a excessive hoon but i dont simply dob someone in for doing a skid sometimes it might make my day, more to the point if there putting other ppl a risk other than there own i dont have a issues with making a call.

with the EPA shit, you have to realize that some ppl are not all as lucky as we are and dont have the option to buy a decent car. there are some ppl struggling out there and also realy on there car to get to and from work to just make a living to feed themselfs and family, you take this away from them thats it no work? and who pays the price well us in the end because we pay tax that is then the doll for them. sometimes you have to think about being on the other end of that stick not everyone was delt the best hand of cards in there lifes.

all because you have to smell abit of smokey oil in traffic or you pissed because you get epa all the time and there still driving around? all i can say is grow up maybe move out of the city in a quite country town where the air is freash? and EPA its the price we pay to drive jdm cars nothing going to change that never will so sell your car if you nickers are in that big of a knot about it and buy a prius (hybrid thingy whateva they are).

peace out.

Me and a Mate once dobbed a guy in for txting on his mobile. It was a 110km zone on a busy highway and he nearly had 4 head ons in under 2 minutes. Althought my mate was driving and making the "dobbing" phone call to the cops...

I should of called the cops and dobbed him. :blush:

but back to serious... I didn't feel bad at all because if the guy had a head on and killed 3 kids and a mother / father then it would of been our fault for not preventing / reporting it..

Even if it was the cops pulling him over for a warning... it would make him think twice before doing it again.

Final thought:

We all go silly in our cars once and a while. We just need to pick the right place to do it...

Any1 that is dobbing ppl in for breaking road rules/EPA with any intention other that trying to block up the system, u guys are seriously rats. Geez, i thought it was the baby boomer generation dobbing ppl in.

In the case of some1 doing vandalism/robbery/assault then of course dob in. Theres a diff b/w trying to make a situation better and simply just dobbing ppl in that are doing no harm to u.

Great - Sami went quiet, always rely on you though.

Its not to block up the system. It is legitimate smokey vehicles that should be off the road.

The EPA chase after modified cars with laws neraly 20 years old. They are dated and hold zero relevance in many cases.

So it's just getting the system working and focusing on doing some real work is the aim here - like most Gov't departments (or contactors in the EPA's case, they are just going after the easy work - modded cars)

Exactly. I'll happily report an extreme case where someone has/is likely to endanger someone else's life. I wouldn't ever report something minor. How would you feel if you spotted a drunk driver swerving on the wrong side of the road, decided it wasn't your place to report it and then end up hearing that half an hour later they had a head-on with a car packed with a family? You'd feel pretty f*cking shit I'd imagine. Some of us are born with a conscience.

ok u seem to have a hard head

let me break it down to u, u dick knob

1 family: $400/week to live on with 3 kids: cant efford a new car hence get a cheapo

it f**ks up, they dont have money to fix it and its their only form of transport so if u dob them in then they dont have money to fix it and dont have a car to go work with/take kids to school/ go shopping in

on the otherhand f*kheads like u who have millionair parents dont give a rats ass about having an EPA as u can just give it to a mechanic with a lump sump of money and BINGO they do it all for u

THATS my point

i said before that i wont reply but u seem to be getting more and more stupid by each reply

you dont phase me with your shitty "need a tissue" reply

just coz u are a moderator doesnt make u any better then any one of us it just means ur good at sucking dick

im out

peace out

EVER heard of public transport?

The people you are describing sounds like the typical "sits at home & do nothing but leeches off center link" kind.

Whats more, I have to pay tax in order to keep these bloody leeches alive...

So no, if they can't pay to get their car up to standard then take public transport. I have no sympathy for center link leeches.

I have to pay to get my car up to standard & I only have a crappy part time job so I don't see how it should be any different for them.

on the otherhand f*kheads like u who have millionair parents dont give a rats ass about having an EPA as u can just give it to a mechanic with a lump sump of money and BINGO they do it all for u

Finally even if I'm the world's richest person, I still give a rat ass about having an EPA as it costs time & money.

ye coz there is public transport everywhere right?

and who said they dont work? how would they get their $400/week?

u have too much hate son u need a root or something to releaf yourself before coming to assumptions... just coz there are ppl out there on centrelink doesnt mean everyone is

only about 6-7% of ppl are on centrelink from wat i know

u dont have a wife and 3 kids do u? and rent and all the bills to pay with a part-time job

if u do then i highly doubt u could efford to keep your car running and keeping the family alive on a "crappy part time job"

pull the sticks out of your asses and see the other side of the fence

Finally even if I'm the world's richest person, I still give a rat ass about having an EPA as it costs time & money.

no argument there

its a hassle for all of us. my whole point is that u wouldnt have to worry about it as much as someone who cant efford it

guys sami has a point, there are bludger that sit on the dole and choose to have "worse" cars( not a fan either and piss me off big time), others are forced into situations (eg. immigrations, GFC lose of job, parents passing away etc)

While i would report a driver that is blind drunk (which i have previously) or someone that is SERIOUS danger to others, i don't think it my job to start reporting P-plater/ students/ less fortunate who are just trying to make some cash, driving to work. Once i finished school (yr12) i bought a Sh*t box and work 30min away from home, starting at 6am. What public transport service can i catch?? anyone?

After the 4 months, just before uni started i managed to put aside a packet and bought another car. Everyone has to start somewhere! so i reckon that everyone needs to relax a bit on here and put yourself in someone elses shoe's for a sec and think.

Not really right to judge a book by its cover, but 9 out of 10 times u can tell wat sort of person the driver is just by looking at time; part of the centerlink race team lol or someone that is trying to "work' out of a tough situation.

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
