Hooning with easily recognisable number plates

cheap · 22-06-2015, 02:20 PM

What is it with some people (presumably with a lot of dollars) and their propensity to prove to the public that they are STUPID + the bad image they bring to well know companies.

Witnessed on the weekend, a black C class AMG, several times, repeated massive speeding in a 70 zone, number plate *****

What an idiot!

He could be the last real estate available on the planet but based on his driving behaviour, I wouldn't let the jerk anywhere near my properties.

Would love to ring the real estate office and clarify the situation (if you know what I mean). Someone should know the car/driver and where they work, would be worthwhile having them explain their actions.

Test driving after the Realtor hit it big and traded up to an E63.

Does not even work for a real estate agent, but the plates represent the guy’s name.

Could be the owner of the company and does not care what you think.

How do you no they were speeding, did you have a radar?

Are you serious?

Why stop there, ring every trucking, taxis and delivery company, plumper, builder and company car that has signage when you see them break the law as well.

That’s what we have Police for, there is no need to flood the nation with wowser vigilantes?

Be aware, what you see as wrong someone else can accept, what you accept as ok, someone else sees as wrong. That's how vigilantes work.

Bloke on car enthusiast forum. Lagging in another. What has the world come to. Won't be able to fart in your shed next.

There is nothing to be enthusiastic about the jerks driving.

If you want to race/speed, then go to the track not a public road.

You'd think some people should know better with their comments, obviously not!

I don't race or speed if your referring to me. And I would know better than to advertise a blokes numberplate on the World Wide Web.
Why not buy some party lights and pull him over next time. Just saying.

blackf6 · 22-06-2015, 04:10 PM

But on topic. Yes he may well have been speeding, and generally being a lout. Why do you feel the need to advertise it? Chances are, if he drives like that all the time, he is going to get done. By a speed camera, unmarked, or highway patrol. His time will come.

Here is a thought, maybe he could just not speed?

Yes that would be good. Then this whole thread would of been a mute point.

How did you dial his number?

I have to question how you know the car war speeding. I often accelerate normally with no wheel spin in my daily and get people giving me bad looks. In my Windsor powered vehicle I can be doing 20km/h and open the throttle slightly and people turn with angry looks. Just because everyone else drives like a sick slug doesn't mean he has to.

With threads like this I often picture some posters having no front teeth.

Usually due to attitude..

What if the front teeth are the only teeth one has...

stockNAfairlane · 22-06-2015, 09:39 PM

Reminds me of Gummy Joe from The Simpsons, just replace with a beer can.

BadMax · 22-06-2015, 09:59 PM

@cheap, what is the difference between a custom plate and a regular plate? Most of us have just enough brain cells to recall either if the situation is called for.

Either way, you've got an issue because of the vehicle. Bit like listening to people tell stories and they feel compelled to tell us the race of the offending person, like it justifies their position.

I've had signwriting on my loud, low, quick and distinctive GS for 4+ years. I've carved plenty of people up on the freeway sitting in the right lane going slow. Never had one irate complaint lodged, not that'd I'd care.

Similar thing happened to me. Halfwit in a photography van was driving like an idiot harassing an old bloke who was going a bit slow. Firstly tailgating him, then overtook him and started brake checking the old guy. As I passed this photo van I Looked across and shook my head. He didn't like that started going off at me, tried to run me off the road.
Late that evening decided to give him a call and tell him what I thought of him.

I personally got no problem with people driving fast as long as it is controlled, and not inappropriate speed in school zone, in suburbia with kids around, near pubs/built up areas with pedestrians.

If it is along a big/appropriately structured road, with no risk to other road users/people, it is no ones problem but a problem as between the driver and the little blue men tax collectors...IMO

GTP534 · 23-06-2015, 06:53 AM

^^^^ That's an ideal situation and you'll never get that on Sydney's roads.

We've had so many cars running off the roads here and ending up in peoples living rooms it's not funny. The problem with driving fast, or "inappropriately" fast is that the situation can escalate very quickly.

My wife has recently started work and it involves shift work. On occasion I've driven her to and from work; this takes me on to the Woodville Road from the M4 exit at Parramatta. The driving I've seen on this road is horrendous; most aggressive are P platers but the worst I've seen was a black C63. It's also been modded, I don't think it was the vehicle mentioned in the opening post though.

As asagaai said, there's a time and place for everything.

The reason we've had the above, because a lot of people thinking they're far better drivers than they really are.
As Casey Stoner once said to Valentino Rossi 'Your ambition outweighs your talent.'
And then there's the poorly maintained cars.

Arkan · 23-06-2015, 08:12 AM

I got the really hard to see nsw dark blue on black plates on my vehicle with a random allocation of numbers/letters, why make it easy for people.

**M&Ms** · 23-06-2015, 09:08 AM

If I had an AMG C63, I'd be giving it stick too. Clearly the OP is on the wrong forum, try www.flowerpickers.com

LG17 · 23-06-2015, 09:12 AM

Just goes to show you don't need brains or common sense to own those types of plates...

blk6t · 23-06-2015, 09:21 AM

We live in an age of dash cams, with footage that often gets submitted to Police. Based on said footage, Police can usually measure someone's speed and make a judgment on their driving behaviour, whether laws have been broken. People have been convicted from such processes.

People need to remember that there are cameras everywhere now and idiot drivers will eventually get caught.
