lol good idea

[LTHLRB]

like the cops arnt up p platers asses enough

[LiQuid IcE]

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...

[LTHLRB]

all the old and stuck up people will be like OHH NO HESE HOONING.. HE JUST OVERTOOK ME PHONE 1800 NO HOON..

[Coupe-This]

has anybody thought about people using their mobiles while driving ...

a standard question should be, are you driving now sir/ma'am

[Esc]

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?

[inark]

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

well apparently you can just get a fine if some one dobs you in i got 2 last year for throwing ciggeret buts out the window which i hate seeing and dont do so i sent in a photo of my ash tray both time to show i use it and explained to them i don't throw them out the windo but with the photo and arguing my point it ddn't matter i still had to pay them i was really cut about it, and i guess if some one just doesn't like you or maybe you accidently cut hem off they dob you in and you suffer because thats how they wanna get you i dont know all i'm saying is its crap some one can dob you in with no proof and get away with it.

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..

Wow, some people really need to learn how to paragraph. My eyes just skipped over their whole post.

But yer, apparently the "Hoon hotline" has been around for quite a while now in Frankston.

[inark]

guess the date on the doco (2005) kinda gave that away?
