    I've used it a few times, but for objects on the motorway (pieces of timber, truck tiedown straps) and a couple of times for people walking on the motorway.

    Safety purposes only.

    A few years ago I reported the c*#t who came to a complete stop in front of me on the southern Motorway. I was towing a horse float and travelling a wee bit over the 90kmph speed limit for trailers (ie I was not mucking around). He's lucky I didn't plough into him, but I then got boxed in by the other traffic around me and couldn't get out of their way. Thankfully, no accident. Suspect he was trying to antagonise me because there was no other reason for him to do that then speed off.

    Nothing happened (my friend didn't get the right vehicle colour, so I got a notice saying "no vehicle matching that description", checked carjam for the numberplate credentials, resubmitted, got a confirmation but nothing else). Probably because no actual accident.

    The other week I reported a dickhead doing skids. We were in a line of traffic moving about 20kmph, due to a detour off the motorway, due to a fatal accident. Ie the area was crawling with people and cops.
    The lovely person I spoke to did encourage me to report it online when I got home, not just on the phone. Something to do with sending infringement notices rather than just putting out a bulletin in case any cops happened to come across said offender still driving. No idea what happened with that one, never heard anything else.

    Other than that, I'm usually more interested in getting where I'm going, or I haven't actually caught the car's details (like the guy who nearly caused a head on by overtaking me and another car coming up to a blind corner with double yellows - he was gone before I could register anything apart from car colour).

    I got a road block set up just for me in Upper Hutt about 3 years ago. One of my last rides over the Tukas before I moved house.
    Some person figured I was a maniac. I arrived just north of Upper Hutt to flashing lights and about 4 cars.
    I sat under a tree with a cigar until a lady cop come over and said ,you know we don't do anything with these,off you go ! He said she said sort of stuff. But it pissed me off after riding over there for about 50 years !

    In my younger days I kicked panels, lights, and mirrors. I dont think it made a difference. Did make for an interesting chase up Kent Terrace and round the Basin Reserve though.....

    Rang once for somebody driving enormously erratically. ...
    Crossing centerline on every single corner. ...

    Not sure what came of it.

    Been a few times trying to memorise a plate number etc untill I would pull over. ...

    But I usually then forget number by time I take off all my gear...

    twice for kids hanging out of vehicles, first was oamaru and a van with furniture in that was to long to shut rear door and two kids jumping round the back and leaning out back door, the next was in CHCH and kid hanging out back passenger side window waving at me, never heard anything back.
    twice for erratic drivers, first in CHCH and cop found us and pulled said car over and i pulled over, driver was drunk as hell and second one was between wallacetown and invercargil and car driving very slow and seeming to struggle to stay on correct side of road, the operator got me to tail the car which obviously put the shits up them because they went up a road and pulled over and when i pulled over behind them they did a u turn and drove off at a higher speed than they were doing, i felt bad about this one as it was an older couple out for a sunday drive. the cop came and told me that he suggested that they stay driving around town.

    Too many to count, usually debris / people on motorway, accidents and occasionally crazy driving - best one so far was being in the right hand lane on the northern motorway, northbound, near the motorway police base, and a car overtook me on the hard shoulder

    Bystander effect means it's very common no-one reports something, so I always try.

    i have heard rumours about tickets being sent out on the basis of a *555 call, not something i personally am in favour of otherwise people with their heads shoved to far up their own ass tend to think they are god and know what is safe and what is not. but like i said already, they are only rumours.

    twice......first time for an unmarked dump truck that overtook me in my work ute heading north over the mangere bridge dropping huge amounts of rocks/debris all over the road due to the fact his tailgate thing wasn't closed resulting in a crack in my windscreen......i eventually got him to pull over heading up Pah rd where he shovelled out a huge pile of it onto the road in the left lane so he could close said tailgate....wouldn't give me his insurance details so i rang the law.....they informed me they had had numerous complaints about this guy so i followed him to a building site somewhere in remuera and boxed him in till they arrived....second time following what appeared to be a very pissed driver heading north over newmarket viaduct...travelling very slowly in the fast lane swerving badly from side to side......stayed on the phone with the law and followed him all the way to victoria st and queen st intersection where a couple of police on the beat nabbed him at the red light.....not a drunk but a fuckin tourist with a full size map spread out on his lap trying to navigate and drive at once

    I remembered another one. I called *555 because there was a guy on the side of the road. Car up on the berm of the motorway, skid tracks in grass, facing wrong direction. He was out and on his phone, presumably calling 111, but I wanted to be sure he was looked after so called to make sure help was en route. They were. I felt bad I couldn't stop to help so at least wanted to make sure he wasn't without assistance.

    Driving to Napier one evening when a slip came down right in front of us and blocked the lane... Took AGES to get the twit on the other end to understand where it was (SH50) because there was no letter box's to tell her the number (only got reception at top of the next hill).. Eventually we just gave up - waste of time
