Default Rate The Plate.com.au

Has anybody seen this web site?

http://www.ratetheplate.com.au/

So the story goes drivers can shame others who have been seen "allegedly' doing the wrong thing on the roads by registering their rego plate on this website.

Theres a story in today Sunday Telegraph about it.

Well even dropkicks have the right to have their own forum. You will notice that NONE of them have any identification. I wonder why?

I understand the frustration of being dazzled, but there are better ways of dealing with it than writing up reports on the internet.

Or this one.....

I would be more woried about that guy writing down 30+ Numberplate/Car details whilst driving along than a Taxi with a blown brake light. Half of those "Ratings" are probably made up anyway.

Have a look at this merchant banker:
http://www.ratetheplate.com.au/member.go?user=Uralla9

He must drive with a pen and paper in hand, day in, day out to be able to pick on people like that. I mean what a poof, clearly he would get all defensive if he put his plate in the search box and it came up with:

"This bum was driving slow and eratically, swerving all over the road as he jotted something down on a notepad, wasn't looking where he was going, hit 4 pedestrians and caused 17 accidents."

Dumbarse...

These sort of ideas, (including the dob in a hoon line), are not on. Although you will have people who are doing the wrong thing dobbed in when they may deserve it these systems will encourage people to dob in anyone who happens to upset them by something simple just because they are having a bad day, (we are human we all stuff up from time to time), people will exaggerate things to the police or worse some people WILL use it to target people they have something against, (getting their friends & family to put in false or exaggerated dangerous driving reports on someones number plate).

If video evidence people hand in of someone hooning in a car can be seen to have been taken by the driver / dobber on a camera phone etc. from the drivers seat of their car they should themselves be charged with dangerous driving. And the dob in a hoon info that states video evidence of a hoon will be used in prosecuting that hoon WILL incite people to do just that eg. Pull out their phone and drive one handed while videoing with the other.

Leave policing the roads to the police.

Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, or why we died. All that matters is that two stood against many. That's what's important! Valor pleases you, Crom... so grant me one request. Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then to HELL with you!

there's some shockers on that site.. I can see my cars coming up on there going by some of the whingers on there...
"the white coupe was too loud"
"its tyres were too wide"
"it's cooler than my car :( "
"the flatblack F100 was scary, made me want to drive home and hide under my bed"
"the girl driving the purple XC was hotter than me and driving a cool car. yes, I'm 'rating' out of jealousy"
