Whilst maintaining 60mph in this 60/National speed limit, this car overtook me!


Gasp! Someone was speeding?! Surely not!

Also, what are the chances the reporter's speedo wasn't GPS-verified and they were actually doing about 53-55? Pretty high, I'd say...

It's nice to see they have a bit where you can actually praise good drivers...

... sad to see how few reports are Green in comparison to Red though. :roll:

My plate ain't on there. I'm safe for now. :)

Is this site actually verified? I'm sure the police wouldn't use it to aid actual prosectutions, so it seems like they're all wasting their time tbh.

Doubt it, given anyone can post anything without proof and some of the people making reports are breaking the law themselves (taking photos with their phones while driving).

A friend and me once tried to report a car that overtook on a left hand corner on the crest of a hill, unfortunalty the police woman behind the milton keynes desk told us that basically they could do nothing unless other complaints about the same registration came through and then it still would only be used as evidence if the car was actually invloved in an incedent.

Dont think this website is going to be much use, loving some of the desceptions of being overtaken at 75mph by users with names like "eat my dust" sounds like he/she has never speeded in there life.

"Vehicle thought it owned the road and drove in an aggressive and irresponsible manner."

I personally feel sorry for the driver of this crazy vehicle, who was probably trying to wrestle it to a halt!!

Won't last long,

all it takes is someone to threaten libel action.

Saw it from another forum few weeks ago, wasn't listed, kinda disapointed somehow :evil:

There's a poster called StephenHarrison who has made 916 posts. He has a thing about number plate spacing. Now, is he a retired old codger with nothing to do except give his wrath, or a bad tempered middle aged man who is very angry with the world?

This was mentioned on the telly last night, a program on Road Rage. There was a bloke called Road Camera who regularly drives with a dashboard camera. Very holier-than-thou.
They kept his face obscured as he fears for his safety. Seems to do nothing else but drive around complaining about other people's driving. If it bugs you that much, join the force.
