Was the driver in shock? Was he is a hurry to see a dying or sick relation or comfort a child? Was there about a million reasions why he did what I see about every second day on various roads? Actually that is normal Sydney driving isn't it? No lets inform on him just in case. Informing has been the cornerstone of many societies. Hitler could never have commited his attrocities without a stead stream of informers "doing the right thing". There would be 10,000,000 more russians if Stalin had not been informed of the "enemies of the state". Many, many Australians died in several wars to prevent this type of society being thrust upon us, a lesson that the young on here should learn. If you see a person you KNOW is drunk, as in you have seen them drink a lot, then if you cannot prevent them driving then the last resort is to call the law and have them removed from the traffic. The problem is that this dobber mentality will always only ever harm us, the driving community, as there are many who hate all drivers as much if not more than some here hate drink drivers and they are your enemy. If we turn on each other we will have no one left to play with. If a person driving in the above manner MUST be drunk then a person with a hoony looking car MUST be speeding, drifting and whatever. Why do you need proof of the actual offence? As far as driving the modded falcon. If the mods make the vehicle no longer comply with ADRs including noise, emmissions, wheel size, lowering or whatever then it IS illegal and the penalties can be much higher that that of drink driving. |

I was following what i thought was a drunk driver on the way home from watching the State of Origin several years ago.
We were traveling a local road when i decided to keep a bit of distance and see what happened as he was weaving a bit. Well, i didn't have to wait too long. About a Km later he launched his Mazda over one of those pedestrian refuge islands with U shaped yellow steel bars. He took a good 100-150 metres to snap out of it and pull over! ![]() Made me glad i stayed back i can tell you!

Normally I read your posts, get frustrated or laugh and don’t respond but for some reason I feel compelled on this occasion to offer my reply.
devil's advocate –noun 1. a person who advocates an opposing or unpopular cause for the sake of argument or to expose it to a thorough examination. Agreed Quote:

I am not sure how Hitler, or even Stalin managed to make their way into this thread but if anyone can bring them in it would be you. Is this the same society who could have simply LET Hitler and Stalin go and commit the crimes they did without need for intervention? Are you the same kind of person who would walk pass a bank robbery and not call the police as it's not really your business, hell you don’t even go to that bank, your choice is the CBA. I am not saying every erratic driver on the road is committing a crime but every driver on the road has the right to feel safe and not be bumped off the road by some goose who thinks he is on a racetrack. I am sure most of us, well the vast majority have enough common sense to judge who is a menace and possibly drunk as opposed to someone having a moment of madness. From the thread starters post this guy sounded like he was either drunk or high on something other than life. I say if you feel strong enough about it, call the cops at the very least they won’t go and catch him that instant but at least there is a record of the driving behaviour which can be used against them, heaven forbid a fatal accident is to occur. If you have done nothing wrong then you have nothing to worry about. Quote:
