The site logs dates, times and locations of driver
errors, along with number plates.
These are plotted on a Google map, allowing visitors
to look for offending drivers in their own suburbs.
A new feature allows companies to register their
vehicle number plates and keep track of their
employees' driving behaviour through the site.
The most commonly reported complaints are speeding,
illegal parking, defective vehicles and drivers using
mobile phones.
More than 40 traffic offences have been reported,
including eating at the wheel.
The driver of one P- plated vehicle was
"observed attempting to eat a marathon roll while
trying to turn from Pennant Hills Rd into Loch Maree
Ave at Thornleigh".
Site co-founder Simon Dakin said the idea was to use
the Internet's power and community involvement to make
a difference to road safety.
Mr Dakin said the site had procedures aimed at weeding
out malicious reports.
Just drove my car to work every day,
I didn’t mean to hurt nobody
Like 100 million other people just like me,
I couldn’t tell there was any other way,
I just couldn’t realize but now I think I’ll throw it away
There’s 7 billion other people just like me
I was thinking about blowin’ up all the automobiles
It seemed like such a good idea
You said hey man wouldn’t that be hypocritical
No way man cuz mines’ the first to go
Do it,
Now,
Stick a rag in,
Light the fucker up
I was thinking about melting down all the cars in the whole world
Making brand new mountain bikes for all the boys and girls
You said hey man wouldn’t that be helter skelter
No way man all we need is a giant smelter
Send it to Peoples Park,
Berkeley CA, 94704
Ride a fucking bike
Ride a fucking bike
Ride a fucking bike
I just lit my car on fire today I didn’t mean to hurt nobody
Just like 100 million other people just like me,
I could tell there wasn’t any other way
I finally realized and now it’s going up in flames
Cuz there’s 7 billion other people just like me
Having fun, since I was six, We’re only bike terrorists
Five thirty,
second Friday,
Berkeley Bart
Letter to SUV owners:
Your SUV kills!
We have deflated one or several tyres of your SUV. Don’t take it personal. It’s your car we don’t like. You are certainly aware of the large amount of fuel it consumes, so we don’t have to enlighten you about that. But either you are ignorant of, or you don’t care about the fact that all the gas you consume by driving around in your SUV in the streets of the city has devastating consequences for others. Scientists are entirely sure that we are very close to pushing climate change across a threshold, into a phase where it will be totally out of control.
When the glaciers melt, people’s source of water disappear. When the deserts spread, agricultural fields become uncultivable. When the sea level rises, homes are inundated. Result: billions of refugees, countless deaths. It’s already estimated that 160 000 humans die every year due to the effects of climate change, according to the WHO.
As an affluent Swede you will survive longer then most. Those most vulnerable, and already worst afflicted by the global warming caused by Northern affluence, are the people of poor countries. In the end, however, climate chaos will affect us all, poor people as well as rich.
This does not have to happen if we impose a radical cut on carbon emissions. Now. Not tomorrow. That’s why we have disarmed your SUV by deflating the tyres.
Since you live in a city with a functioning and accessible public transportation system you will have no problem getting where you want without your SUV.
