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.. >_<

      Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true

      Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
