Dodgy Driver Dob-In!

[rustic101]

Just put some conspicuity tape on your bike like the stuff on the ute hiding behind your garage
That should slow them down/ calm their behaviour

Quite frankly I've come to the conclusion that this sort of thing is a waste of time and effort. We're better of forgetting about trying to change anyone else and learning to look after yourself.

It would be more productive to pass the information directly to the Police.

But it would be more entertaining to post it on the internet.

And another thing, I can guarentee if the same thing were done in reverse the reported "dodgy" riders would outway the reported dodgy drivers. One man's dodgy is another's controlled manoeuvre.

are you a wannabe cop or some kind of fag?

Excuse me? Acting like that really shows how immature you are. I'm not a cop - the photo was taken at the previous owners home. Grow up FFS!

Oh fuck off back to wherever you hatched from.

Yeah - I'd be worried I might appear on some arsebook page too.

Mind you, nobody's dobbed me in on Community Traffic Watch.

ALL motorcyclists ... one small boo-boo on a a bike at the wrong time ... one error of judgement ... one "I shouldn't be doing this" period ...

Things go bad for a motorcyclist pretty dam quickly. Most get lucky and live to tell about it (often on here) but some will die.

If you think you wont or can't ..... what make YOU so special ... !!!

I'm struggling to understand your post. I replied to a question "Biggest danger to motorcyclists'. Motorcyclists themselves". That statement is a gross generalisation & as such, I do not agree with it.

Your statement implying that I think I'm special, or that nothing will happen to me, it entirely mis-directed.

Then you have much to learn.

In which case I shall ignore it - I don't do arsebook.

Pity really, the idea is worth a look I thought.

....haha yeah, enough idiots on here without following them on FB as well.....

Why do you think I video some of my rides?? I have the information/license plates & the evidence. The Facebook Page is intended to increase peoples awareness & hey if some people see it & think "maybe I should look behind, before I change lanes & not rely on my mirrors" - then that is a good thing.

If it draws attention to the issue, of Dodgy Driving by other Road Users - that can only be a good thing surely?

Can we dob in dodgy carpet cleaners?

Haha! Tugg-It - the new name for Target on TV3!

I have to agree with FJR. Biker's that don't have good situational awareness, concentration, or skills can be their own worst enemy. You've said 40% of accidents are because of other road users so doesn't it stand to reason that 60% of accidents are the biker's fault? I don't think those figures are quite accurate but you get the point.
Either way, I think the idea has merit so long as the videos uploaded are closely vetted and anything that's unclear is quickly deleted.

I was going there next. Hope he hangs in a bit, might be entertainment to be had in this 'un yet.

Did you not spot the revenue gathering tool in the garage behind the bike in his FB profile photo?

I'm not a cop - as explained, the previous owner was & he is a bloody good bloke.
