What would it take for you to dob in a biker?

[cheshirecat]

I've never done it - ever, sometimes thought about it but would i do it, perhaps in extreme circumstances like violence, drunk riding. I'm not even sure where i'd draw the line. But then I'm soppy old school.

EDIT: Posted twice.

[Robbie_]

It's dependant. If they're going for a spirited ride and not being a dick about it, then I have no problem.

If they are riding like a complete tool/ drunk then I would. I couldn't imagine what would be on my conscience if they maimed/ killed somebody in the process. Couldn't care less about them though, it would be one less idiot in the gene pool.

[breakaway]

Never bothered to dob anyone in. Natural selection will take care of it sooner or later.

[AllanB]

When you are out with the family in the car for a drive and some stupid cock comes around a blind corner on your side of the road passing a car.

Same cock probably goes home, jumps on KB and makes a post complaining about 'cages' being in his way ..........

[AllanB]

Problem is they often take out another party. Or end up splattered over someones car and that poor driver has to live with the image for the rest of their days.

[breakaway]

Yeah, and I could also die if I slipped, fell and landed on my neck wrong when climbing off the deck on a wet day.

I'm afraid it isn't practical to stop, turn around, chase the guy and get his plate then report him.

Driving/riding on the road entails some risks. This is just one of them.

While I fully agree with you here, I also recognise that if someone is doing something likely to get others hurt or killed, ie driving or riding in retarded way, then I have to say I'd draw the line. Have no problem with people going faster than me, but if in getting ahead means I or someone else has to evasive action to prevent an accident, I'm not so pleased. (and I do try to let people past when I need to)

Had one guy try to run me off the road one when I was 16, I'd hope that I'd help out in some way if I saw that happen to someone else

[Smifffy]

They'd probably have to piss me right off, on the wrong day. Dobbing not something I'm into. Maybe if they had a kid on the back with no helmet and were doing stunts? :Police:

I see cockish car, van & truck driving almost every day and don't dob, so why would I dob a biker? Besides the ethiopian call centre monkeys on the end of *555 probably have no clue where I'd be calling from anyway.

[Old Steve]

Besides the ethiopian call centre monkeys on the end of *555 probably have no clue where I'd be calling from anyway.

I think they're actually based in Auckland - K RD or New North Rd somewhere. They do tend to want open road descriptions in terms of State Highway numbers and that's confusing when you know the road name but not it's SH number.

I used *555 once when a young guy just pulled his car over into my space and I had to peel off into the oncoming lane. He never looked and I just saw his hands start to turn the steeering wheel so took avoiding action. *555 gave me a contact at the local police, they rang me back later and said the driver - or more accurately the car - had 3 complaints against it so they would be targeting it for a while.

I'd dob a motorcyclist if they were endangering someone else - the kid on the back with no helmet scenario. It's all very well saying they'll remove their genes from the gene pool, but a motorcyclist through the front window of a car would make a hell of a mess and could kill or maim some innocent party.

[Oakie]

If they put other people's lives at risk or do something really noobie stupid.
I did do it once to a guy on a scooter. Can't remember exactly what he did but I think he was behind a guy turning right in a car at a T intersection. As the car pulled away to the right, scooter boy accelerated up the left hand side of the car and passed him also turning right into the same single lane road.

[Berries]

Ethiopians wasn't far off the mark then. Perhaps Somalian would have been less disrespectful.

[Scuba_Steve]

What would it take for me to dob a biker in? bout the same as it'd take to dob a cage in.
They'd have to be doing something towards life endangering. If it's just something wankerishly annoying like hanging out in the right lane &/or holding up traffic & they piss me off enough, I'll have a warning/reminder notice posted to them.

[McWild]

Personally I call *555 whenever I see anybody potentially breaking the speed limit on both popular routes and inner city streets. Better safe than sorry. It's the only way some people will learn, and hopefully encourages slightly harsher treatment if (when) they do get pulled over.

reports them anyway, as they potentially may fail to display either of them.

That'll be why I can never get through when I ring to report people driving yellow cars. And GN250's. An offence waiting to happen right there.

[Smifffy]

True, Ethiopians or Somalians would probably take their jobs seriously enough to learn the geography of the country outside of Auckland.

I have called twice. Once when a guy was driving down the road and giving his Mrs the bash at the same time. The second was when a huge 4wd was overtaking long lines of traffic on totally blind corners or on straights but with oncoming traffic having to drive onto the shoulder to avoid getting hit. Both drivers were already well known to police.

In the first case I was asked to exceed the speed limit in order to get close enough to see the number plate. Collected a speed camera ticket for that one. Wrote in and got off.

[Maha]

If any of them didn't acknowledge me on the road, the first thing I would do was come on here and dob them in for sure for sure.

Have only used *555 a couple of times, last time would have been a few years ago when some dick was overtaking, in bunnyhop fashion, several cars on double yellows into oncoming traffic. I too was contacted later to be told the car had had a number of complaints from eariler so it all adds to the bigger picture.

The only time I've ever dobbed in a truck was one travelling at speed on the motorway that had a real fishtail going on with his trailer as he moved from lane to lane. Instead of *555 I rang the company directly for them to deal with.

A bike rider would have to be doing something pretty extreme for me to call him in; so not really any different to how I'd treat any other road user in that respect. I definitely don't consider "the brotherhood (:puke:) of bikers" a no-go area for dobbing in just 'cos they take to the road on two wheels instead of four.

Any Honda rider would be worth dobbing in. Just in case... :spanking:

[Road kill]

I don't eat dog food and I don't talk to policemen if I can help it.

So shitting on other people for doing shit that is no worse than shit I've done myself is not really likely to happen any day soon.

Fact is that by the time I've finished stressing over the possibliys of turning dog,,,,,,,,the event would be over and 30 other fuckheads will of called the cops.

So there's really no need for me to lower myself.

Any of you "good boys" want a bicky ?<_<

Pffft...John Wayne Gacy operated with the same philosophy.

No biscuits from HIM though...

[Drew]

I've been dobbed in, for wheelies. Not from bikers that I know of, but it doesn't matter. It's very hard for five oh to do anything without multiple complaints of the same event as far as I know.

I'd call in if I reason to believe the rider was drunk as fuck, or if he/she endangered my family in any way.

[Conquiztador]

I have considered dobbing in the ones who start stoopid threads...

[gammaguy]

I'll never forget this...

I was sitting in the outside part of the smugglers arms/governors bay hotel one fine Friday afternoon when two obviously drunk young lads staggered out of the bar and hopped on a ratty old CB900F.clearly neither of them should have been on a bike let alone riding over the port hills back to Christchurch

I turned to my mate and said as much,his words to me I'll Never forget..."its their funeral"

They roared off up the hill heading towards the sign of the kiwi,we could all hear their progress up the hill as the noisy sagar 4 into 1 did its thing.Suddenly it went quiet....my mate and I knew what was next .......sure enough a white faced lady in a car raced in to the car park a few minutes later and asked to use the phone(This was before cellphones were common)

After she had called the cops she was telling anyone who would listen about what happened.....turns out our fearless CB900 Rider had completely failed to take a gentle bend half way up the big straight,and ended up as a hood ornament on an oncoming truck.Needless to say neither the rider or the passenger of the bike survived.

I still to this day wish I had done something to prevent this,and to this day if I see anyone on a bike or any vehicle behaving like a dickhead I *555 them without hesitation

[Monsterbishi]

It was someone 'dobbing' in my bike that had the Police surround it and arrest the thieving w&*ker who was on it - wouldn't have got it back if it wasn't for the person who *555'd it that night.

So having said that, I figure the way Karma works is now I should do the same, and maybe another biker will get his ride back, or a father might get the message to not ride in a way that'll have his kids growing up without him.

Now if you are going to use logic and common sense and get under peoples tinfoil hats here it looks like you will get in trouble.
The anti establishment wah wahs will growl at you. FTP and all that other teenage angst bit. :tugger:

I spose you think about keeping your rego costs down by getting dickheads off bikes too hmm?!

Fuck em all, if you dont like it *555 .
If you dont call then suck it when you or yours suffer on the road. Reality. Usually goes down poorly.

[Monkfish]

The only time I *555 was to report a drunken cager that was all over the road, - so much so we were afraid to even try to pass him.
IIRC, They reacted pretty quickly, and sent the popo's to intercept.

However to the Tard that said he would never "lower himself" and dob someone in for possibly doing something that he himself has done. - When much younger I was a stupid kid with a fast Nissan and I used to drive it drunk. until I stacked it, and took out a power pole. Now I am the proud owner of said power pole outside Wesley College. and almost 10 years has passed, I still regret driving that night and can only wonder what might have been if the pole had been a family car.

I am proud to have helped take that driver off the road that one night. (even though I have done the same thing) Why would we not practice what we have learned?

lets be honest reporting that guy or girl that is wasted and on the road is only going to get him/her 6months license suspension and a fine. - Unless they are a habitual offender. Although this act might just save someone's life.

Drunk driving or really idiotic behavior is the only time I would *555. Bike or Cage, doesn't matter.

Sometimes when I ride, I look like I'm drunk. I'm just not very good at it.

So your a drunk driver but you call me a tard.

That say's fair more about you than it does me about me pal.

Maybe next time use somebody elses standards to judge by.

After all, yours are pretty low aye.

Wow, get into him!

Nobodys standards ever change do they...:rolleyes:

[jolly_26]

I'd dob in anyone who was endangering others unnecessarily, but if they were only endangering themselves I'd likely leave them be. I quite often have a little "chat" to someone stopped at the lights if they do something wrong; it's fairly embarrassing for them and you can tell it leaves them rattled, so if that's an option then it's the first port of call for me.

LOL, no need to get all uppety!

If you could actually comprehend the meaning in my post. (I know its a stretch, but if you try again I'm sure you will eventually get it.)
I state that I WAS a drunk driver and had since learned from my mistake. I then go on to insinuate that is is plain moronic, not to put to practice what you learn.
And yes your quite right that does speak volumes for my character, especially, say over yours for example.

As for low standards, I'm not sure what you mean by low.
If it is because I called you a Tard, all I can say is, I didn't mean to offend, I just wanted to emphasize my absolute disagreement with your original post.
If not then, I will just smile and nod, as you retort with your well thought out and convincing argument.
