Hi all,
My friend is planning to report a random p plater driver of using mobile while drivin. Apparently my friend, stopped at traffic lights, saw this girl touching her phone seeming to change the music and my friend used body language to tell her that using phone is nasty. But then the girl responded with a middle finger hahahhaha.
Anyway, my friend is really pissed off, I am curious if the girl can actually be fined since my friend has her number plate details.
Please answer
:)
🤙 like this one - while monthing do not use your phone with a weird and anguish face
It looks like your friend wanted her number.
To provide proof your friend will most likely require a video recording.
I guess common way to look side ways under these circumstances will require your friend's phone to capture video and your friend will be in the same trouble of using a phone in the car.
Unless your friend was actually a passenger and you were the driver :)
Unfortunately there is no ability for the public to report a driver for using a mobile.
Which is crazy because in Victoria a member of the public can report someone from dropping litter from a car, provide a signed stat. dec., and the offender gets slapped with a (minimum) fine of $322 by the EPA.
Waste of time. Your friend should have better thing to do. Sing let it go 10 times
Sing let it go 10 times
I don't agree with what the friend did either, but that's a bit harsh…
So she changed music whilst stopped at traffic lights and your friend wants her charged? Tell your friend to lighten up.
Someone texting whilst driving? Yes absolute idiot and should be charged. Someone quickly changing the song whilst stopped at traffic lights? Give me a break.
Girl can just deny. Her word against your friends & no video proof. Buy HD recording sunnies off Ebay for less than $40 and profit with putting these bogans on youtube.
You will see people driving and fiddling with a phone all day, every day. Forget it… soon there will be cameras everywhere that will make them pay.
your friend needs to get on with their life
I can see why you didn't want to spend time with this friend at Christmas - Christmas celebration ideas for one person
Haha well spotted:
I do have friends but not good enough for me to want to do that stuff with
Though I do wonder if anyone took OP up on:
I am open to anything.
(that's my emphasis…)
wait till you have school aged children that have been brainwashed by teachers and visiting policemen. they will be ringing 000 to let them know that mum is in the front seat and used the phone while driving (also doing 63 in a sixty zone).
So you want people driving while using the phone and speeding?
I don't want the emergency services number clogged with children dobbing on parents.
Ehh
Let the P Plater learn the hard way ;)
What… and put other people's lives at risk?? Hmmm…?
Yes, let it get so serious they risk getting locked up for it
From OP's post, the P-plater was stationary at the lights. What's the worst that could happen? Get beeped by the car behind?
Your friend needs proof such as video. He should have got his phone out and recorded it lol
Your friend is just butt-hurt from the insult and wants revenge.
Your friend needs to stop looking inside other cars and listen to some music while driving.
You can't. Seriously, if I was able to report other drivers for all the dumb douchebag shit my front/rear dash cams record them doing, that I actually could save the footage of and have proof unlike you, I would. But the police wouldn't care and nothing would actually happen as a result and that's just an unavoidable fact.
Classic case of "Mind your own business".
You and your friend should be focusing on the road.
Not what other drivers are doing inside thier car.
Anyway, my friend is really pissed off, I am curious if the girl can actually be fined since my friend has her number plate details.
I feel that the "dob in a tosser" fine granting guilt to the registered owner of a car, without evidence or even a trial, is setting a bad precedent. If someone decided to report hundreds of licence plate numbers parked at a corporation, political party or religious institution they don't like, how could we then prove they were making it up?
Advise 'your friend' to join Ozbargain so that we can abuse them directly.
Meanwhile lets hope this girl does not kill herself or some other innocent road user.

Can you go dob your friend in for driving while distracted and harassment?
Please answer
In one word: No
What kind of body language are we talking about here?
