Default Website - http://www.idiotdriver.com.au

This website http://www.idiotdriver.com.au was mentioned on the news tonight and I thought I would take a look.

What is the point of this website apart from people having a whine about how other people drive? I don't believe the police can take any action since it is possibly just hear say...

Is the aim of this website just to embarrass people? Some interesting terms and conditions you must read before entering the website...

Interesting to see that the Victorian Premiers car (VIC 1) is on the list twice.

Your thoughts?


Cheers,

rxj.

lol what a complete crap site. I suppose it keeps the oldies coming home from walking the dog busy. those banner rates are WAY WAY WAY over priced! google keywords would probably give you a better click through and cost less.

at least my rego aint on there.. not that ANYTHING can be done if it was. hotornot.com is way better ;)

Yes you wouldn't be too happy if you have personalised number plates especially if they spelt out your name. I'm no lawyer but I think you will find that they cover there butts with the terms and conditions they have posted before you enter the site.

I'm still trying to understand the point of this website.

Maybe we can start up a website which reports all the cool fords we see on the road. :thebirds:

Not me. That is according to the report a WA registration and I'm not WA based.

Such sites have no road safety merit owing the potential for abuse and only further the cause of dumbed-down policies. Indeed, if your 'reported' you'd do well to sue the web operator. In this country you have the inhereted right to know your accuser. An issue in regards 'incitement' comes into play.

I did however submit under another name a 'report', basically along the lines of an SS with its front fog lights on in clear conditions which causing 63 road deaths and genital deformation.

It wasn't listed.

I like how you can report failing to display p plates. How on earth you could tell I don't know.

I'm up twice now! Time to quiz some people.

And yes, Burt Renoylds is safe. Everyone report BANONE for excessive speed and using a CB while driving.

While we're at it, what's the Duke's rego plate?

What a classic 'unchristian' that is FN hilarious it's ok Jesus will forgive you HA HA HA

Comments: You joker. Started by driving in right hand lane, even though not overtaking. Then decided at last moment to turn left into service station, across traffic travelling in the inside lane. Like most Brisbane drivers...... No idea.


I requested this to be removed with this response - lol

As an exceptional driver located on brisbane I take great offence to the remark in this post. Remove it immediatly.
