Whilst checking the newspapers online this morning I found an article on website which has been created to name and shame mobile phone users.
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...icle634216.ece Around 1,500 drivers have been named and shamed for using a mobile phone at the wheel by other motorists on a new website. http://www.betterdrivingplease.com/index3.asp So I clicked on 'View Reports' on the left of the screen and some sad case had reported a bike with a small number plate! What has a small plate got to do with better driving? What do members think of the website? |

What do I think? It's just some web-head exploiting the curtain-twitching nature of the public in order to create revenue somehow.
As there is no need for proof to substatiate the claims made, and no follow-up this site will achieve nothing positive for road users. |

I wonder how many people will look just to see if their registration number is on there?
Ours isn't ![]()

I feel like regestering, just to put something along the lines of:
Driver seen getting close to vehicle in front, with a pen and paper in hand, seemingly writing down the number plate.

It's amusing that the section for reporting GOOD driving has very little in it..............people would far rather report the bad than the good it seems. I wish I'd got the reg of the motorhome yesterday that spotted us at the top of the hill and didn't pull out of a junction, even thought he would have had plenty of time. He got a thank you

Sorry, last one - just made me laugh:
