Ever had any repercussions from reporting bad driving?

[p.dath]

It's a waste of time making those kinds of traffic reports. Nothing happens to them. And even if the Police did take it further, it's your word against theirs.

I have also heard of both parties being issued tickets before as well. So yes, there can also be consequences.

Rubbish ... We ring one of the (two) local cops up on their cell phone ... and they deal with the problem straight away.

If it works down here ... it should work in Auckland too ...

*555 ... fuck that. Takes too long. As I said ... we ring the local cop(s) up on their cell phone.

We don't get mad. Just get the job done.

In this regard, it feels completely empty (I have no faith making a complaint will cause anything to happen at all).

How about you just stop giving people the chance to under cut you.
Watch your mirrors at all times and block the cunts when ever you can.
I'm Sorry if this sounds harsh,but right now you sound like your fucking asking for it.
Drive aggressive/defensive all the time or your going to get run over.

And forget about dogging on people for bad driving,,,we all do it an the cops are just as likely to turn on you as they are to follow up on your complaint simply because they know we all do it.

Like you do know you fucked up both times,,,,,right ?

Doubt it bud. If I see an asshole driving dangerously I wouldn't think twice about *555-ing them (when I'm safely parked). I used to get my share of wankers tailgating me, overtaking me (on the right) as I was indicating to turn RIGHT, intimidating me - all while I was riding the ginny. Never been hassled since I've been on the bandit. I reckon there are just some twats out there who think a smaller motorbike is easy meat for their power games.

Well that's not fair mate.

All your details will be taken and kept to be used against you if the piggys ever feel you'r target of the day.

Remember that little terrorist thing the pigs fucked up in the bay of plenty a couple of years ago.

You know the one where out of 17 accused the dumb fucks only got convictions on four of them.

Well their phones were all bugged and their details had been gathered to do this after "They" had spoken to the police when "they" had been the victims of crime themselves.

I know the resident ticket writting excuse maker will do his best to make light of that,,,but it's proven fact and exactly how they do things in good ole god zone now days.

Be carefull of who you give your details to because it might just be the people your talking to that stole that other half from the glass.

Time for putting on the tin-foil hat sonny!

As we say, your milage may vary. Anyway I disagree.

Most people don't like the idea of dobbing somebody in but there are limits - if people's lives are in danger then go ahead. I can think of three occasions:

• A client was dobbed in by *555 and terribly upset about it. She was alleged to have overtaken on yellow lines etc etc. After a lot of anguish and her getting a second legal opinion...she plead guilty and received a small fine.

• Late one evening I was overtaken by a car at high speed on double yellow lines near Kingston on a stretch of road I know well and saw this car do the same again moments later. Nearly had to change my undies since I know the road very well and its impossible to see opposing traffic. Rang *555 and the upshot was it was a rental which was returned to Christchurch airport by an Australian shortly before the police could intervene

• My wife was driving through the Kawarau Gorge with our three precious children on board and was terrified by a high speed driver passing cars on blind corners, yellow lines etc etc. Again *555. Turns out her's was the third call, the Cromwell police set up at the end of the gorge and got the guy. Convicted of dangerous driving, 12 months loss of licence, and a hefty fine nearly imprisonment.

I can sorta cope with an idiot driver taking me alone out, we've all done silly stuff. What I cannot live with is other people and especially children being killed.
