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 ;) |

isnt there a member KEEP LEFT cause this was there.
287 1 Jan 06 12:01 am Perth WA KeepLeft Fully Licensed Other Alleged Infringement: Careless driving; Exceed speed limit; Follow too closely; Improper overtaking or passing Comments: Once I set my cruise to 100km an hour I have ever right to be in that lane as the only people who can pass me would have to be speeding and there fore breaking the law. Check your rules. It is not ok to speed, even when overtaking.

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 have to travel long distances every day so choose to do so in the right lane of a multi-lane freeway. this was probably that same dumb bass tard

Alleged Infringement: Exceed speed limit Comments: This guy was so unchristian -certainly a heathen worthy of nothing but the deps of hell. He was reving his big engine and making smoke out of the rear tyres. Most upsetting. And my 15 year old daughter loved it which just made matters worse. 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. |
