most of these things wouldn’t bother me except the tailgating mainly as it is so obviously dangerous, so I got the guys rego, my question is should I call this "hoon" hotline that everyone (including me) is/was against or not?

The other thing that ****s me is this idiot gives every other P plater a bad name, and then because people affiliate P platers with modded cars, then we all get tarred with the same brush, so to speak.

Also can these people who are “dobbed” in get my details by any chance?

What do you guys reckon?

Take the law into your own hands, find out where he lives, go down to coles, buy your self some eggs, $1.99 a dozen these days, & egg his f k n car

If you cbf, then just let it go, whats the point?

You'l be glad that you didnt do it, otherwise he may find out where you live and egg your car

Eggs are the danger in society these days

They should have a " hot line " for that sh i t

Nah.. don't do it. Don't dob him in. Just let him keep his license and continue to drive like an idiot.

Just as long as he doesn't kill your Mother, Father, Brother, Sister or any of your relatives and friends on the road, but happens to take out somebody elses Mother, Father, Brother, Sister, relative or friend, it's okay. Right???? _

He'll get what's coming to him.. in due time. The day will come when he takes himself out, crashing heavily... into another car with a Mother and her baby (your Wife and child??), who also die at the scene. At least he'll be dead. Right?? _

What if you have no brothers and sisters?

Or if your an international student studying over here, and the rest of your family is overseas?

Well then they can all come see YOU at the Morgue... when he takes YOU out.

And your Mother and Father will stand above your stone cold mangled body asking.. Why??

Man, you guys are way too serious about this

How often, no matter how good of a driver you are, have you been speeding, making an illegal turn here and there, maybe following a little too close, running red lights, ripping skids and maybe driving with no license?

Everyone has their bad days, some permanently have a bad day, and drive like that all the time, maybe it was just his one day, he could be having family problems, maybe someone ran his mother or father over and he was going to the hospital?

The skid at the lights could have been because the VN has a lot of power, they were released with a 125 odd KW, what do you expect!

Maybe he had a stally, and gave it to much stick?

You just dont know these days, anything could be the case.. give the guy a break, we all do it sometime, you wouldnt want someone else dobing you in if you were on the way to the hospital now would you?

Think about it..

[Full Spectrum]

One of the worst things when driving is smoke but tossers it's dangerous and dirty.

[Ringo]

Sounds like a typical Commydore driver to me....

*Ringo runs away before the hail of angry posts hits the thread

[MYVYSS]

LOL I cant believe it took 2 pages for the typical Commodore driver line to appear.....

[LukeyBAXR6]

It's people like this that should be off the roads, whose to say that if you don't report him he won't continue on doing it. 012 is right, just not worth having him on the roads.. or no one knowing about the way he drives.

Fair enough i wouldn't like this hotline, but for people who are actually breaking the law like this deserve to be reported.

Yep, and only a half hour for a holden supporter to have a cry about it...
:the_finge

But i agree with 012, you should dob em in, better that then they hurt themselves or somebody else. (no matter what the brand of car they're in)

[Hardtopxb]

I dont agree with this Hoon hotline thing. But we must have some degree of perceived appropriate behavior on our roads. Laws(however unjust,unfair,bias,or just plain stupid) hold a society together..If we had a more knowledgable input into our road laws, half the shlt that happens on our raods would cease..But without some sort of regularity structure our roads would be chaos/anarchy..Rant end..Imo..

[LTDHO]

If he did one thing wrong. Then I'd say no.
But as several wrongs were done, I'd report him. Obviously showing no respect for the road or it's users.

[seano14]

personally i wouldn't bother reporting it. these guys eventually get what's coming to them, one way or another.

[bArNsY]

Yeah a concrete power pole or his car in someone's lounge room after the police "allege" they called off the pursuit (typical P plater hoonism that is portrayed in the media)!

Not only is it un Australian, it’s un bloke worthy.

And if you do decide to dob him in, you’d best keep it to yourself.
Lagging is a low act.

I'm sorry, but this is one of the biggest piles of rubbish I've ever heard. To start with, I object to the phrase 'Un-Australian' to the highest degree, mostly cause I am utterly fed up with hearing it. But, that rant is for another time.

If 'dobbing him in' somehow saves the lives of a family in a station wagon that happen to stray near this idiot, then I'm all for it. I'm amused you seem to think this persons behaviour may get him wrapped around a telephone pole but you don't seem to think that same behaviour may get other people hurt and killed.
Potentially saving lives is more important than being what you think is 'bloke-worthy'. Just because you disagree with this Hoon Hotline does not mean you should not report him. Don't use it if you don't want to, just call the cops in the normal way.

Your post smacks of complete irresponsibility. I'm just lucky I don't live near where you or that idiot drives. 'Un blokeworthy', that makes me sick.

[Keepleft]

Aussies dob in droves, one needs only listen to police radio in my area; "cars up on the F3 be on the lookout for black sports car reported speeding 120 to 140km/h on the F3 near Gosford".

Often is its a nice Euro or high-end Jap made sports car - I'm certain that whilst 'speed' might be near truth, or true - that often its a 'class' thing or hang-up on part of the caller, where the caller might not otherwise report a Camry for the same 'offence'.

You have a right to know your accuser, should push come to shove in the highest courts, best people understand that.

All this is a sign of too few police on active HWP duty.

All such lines can do is operate to have the person forwarned, once the person reaches three or so reports, so the person pulls his head in a little.

Personally, I'll only deal with police, and will always back statements up in courts when or if required. You must be prepared to be cross-examined by a barrister or QC/SC. Only ever had to do this once, for an obvious DUI offender.

[Neo_nick]

Dob him into teh EPA
simple and easy to do online!

[Gimmers55]

If you are Vic driver, you can report him to the EPA for littering. Note the time; date; location; direction of travel; type, make and colour of car; driver details if known and he'll cop a $120.00+ fine for breaching the litter act. If he takes it to court, he could be up for a lot more. Go to the Vic EPA website for details. Remember to keep notes just in case.

Doesn't deal with the hooning but gives one a sense of satisfaction knowing that at least he'll be out of pocket for being a 'cluster'.

[xe351]

Vic should change their laws to 'dob in a knob.'

weve all been a hoon at some time, dont dob i reckon.

How would they successfuly proescute that?

The accused will say he didnt do it, and the slapper who reported him will say he did.

That dosent hold up in court unfortunately.

It could easily hold up in court, easy to defend maby, but lets have a look at it.

The accuser does not know the defendant.
The accuser has a writen detail of the incident, including details of the incident itself, the surroundings and the exact time.
The accuser has also signed a statitory deleration stating that the description is true and that they will defend it if it goes to court.

The defendant now has nothing to prove that he did not do the incident and has no viable witness

I would bet 90% of the cases never even see the court as most people would see that paying the fine is easier and cheaper, and the fact that their is no point in defending something if you are guilty of anyway

hahaha rofl

so true

[laneman]

There is a time and place for everything I reckon,But driving irraticaly on a main H'way isn't one of them.I drive a truck for a living and see it every day of the week,so many close calls.I just shake my head and keep a lookout so that they don't hit me.I could ring up a phone bill of thousands reporting **** like that.I reckon don't dob but believe in karma,it will happen soon enough.As for b/outs, tell them to take their car to a b/out comp and prove they have a tough car.The crowd will love you for it!

That is exactly what happens. You can lodge a 'statement' via the EPA's web site or download a proforma report. Both versions require the person making the report to accept the possibility of having to go to Court to testify. On the basis of all probability, it is most likely that the person making the report is describing what happened accurately. For the person being accused to have any chance of not being prosecuted, they would have to prove that they did not commit the offence.

Thousands of drivers, for example, are fined every year for dropping cigarette butts from their cars. This occurs in most states and territories, not just Victoria.

Personally, I find littering repugnant and anyone caught doing it should cop it sweet. I am more than happy to help the Government coffers to swell in this instance because the offence is deliberate, lazy, anti-social, has long-term affects on the environment and demonstrates a distaste for all those others who have to put up with the mess left behind.

The defendant can also sign a stat dec in which case his word is as good as the accuser. Before the defendant has to prove that he didnt the accuser has to prove that he did.

You are right most people dont bother taking it to court, that dosent mean that one persons word is enough to make a conviction.


If I went to court i would record the accusers details and dob them into the EPA hotline too.
Then i would dob them into the HOON hotline. :

[Full Spectrum]

I had a red of the hoon laws today.
1 that you could poke holes in all day is the Noise coming from vehicle, Vehicle braking traction.
So basically the police can get you for playing loud music, Or if you turn a corner and your car has loud screeching tyres can they get you for braking traction then?
Hoon laws should be
Repeat offenders of speeding over 40kp/h, Drag racing, Dangerous driving. Road rage.
Not someone who turns out of a corner infront of traffic and doesn't want to make everyone brake hard behind them so they step on it and do a small wheelie.
