Dob in a driver news

And as for the guy getting a ticket for overtaking on the inside when someone is waiting to turn in the middle of the road - that's pathetic.

You may only do this if it is safe and the vihicle is at the junction.
I am currently taking a driver through the system because someone did this to me, the result was a really close call with my son and a car coming the other way. She hit my bike and being 2 up, there was noway i could stay vertical.
Her excuse is she didn't expect me to move to the left whilst indicating right. I was going down hill at about 1 - 2 kph 2 up in the wet approaching a traffic island and a bloody huge white arrow whilst preparing for an up hill 120 degree junction. yes, I am persuing her for this.

This is of course the type of system that the Nazi's and many a communist regime has relied upon to great effect.

Personally I think that it is quite wrong for the Police to issue a ticket unless either the errant driver confesses or there are at least 2 or more vehicles to corroborate the alleged offence.

The same self righteous prick whom will report you is just as likely to be the old bastard whom pulled out into the fast lane doing 50kmh and didn't indicate the lane change. You indicate, move left and overtake him and get potted for "speeding" past him.

But why not embrace this new found motorcycle safety tool and use it to the max. On any given day we should be able to keep the entire police force busy ticketing cagers. And with a bit of luck the system will collapse under it's own weight, but hopefully not before we have raised the consciousness of some of the stupid cage drivers.

I would think that the case mentioned is quite rare. Most often the Police just don't bother with public complaints. They hardly seem to act on offences committed right in front of them unless it's speeding.
The easy solution is to defend tickets of this nature, a few dismissals and complaints about unneccesary prosecutions from the courts and it'll be knocked on the head.

I have given up reporting bad driving to *555 or filling in incident reports as nothing was ever done, even when the driving was extremely dangerous.

Us too! By the time someone actually answers the *555 phone number the car and the incident are normally 5-10 mins down the road.

I must admit to having filed a few Community Roadwatch reports. Takes a lot to get me to actually do something about the multitudinous d!ckheads that get behind the wheel, but some desparately need some encouragement to think about what they are doing.

To me, it is (hopefully) a useful tool. I doubt the cops are going to issue any tickets on my say so. But if a single driver gets mutliple complaints, you would hope the cops would take notice. Chances of that are pretty remote, but you never know...

After saying I had given up on *555, I actually pulled over and made a call this morning on my way to Palmerston North! As I was driving north of Shannon I noticed an oncoming vehicle veering into my lane - the driver seemed incapable of keeping in his own lane. As I got closer I found out why - at first I thought it was a convertible, but the car was a wreck, and I don't use that term lightly - it had no front windscreen and the roof was completely caved in on the passenger side! It had obviously been in a pretty bad accident and I was amazed it was still driveable. The guy in the driver's seat had a tiny triangle to look through, which is probably why he had trouble keeping to his own lane. Took more than five minutes for the *555 call to be answered though, so if it was only heading as far as Shannon, it would have been long gone by the time they went looking for it.
