Let's keep our eye out for PFAers :rolleyes: people love to pick on Porsche drivers after all,  so a good chance the amateur paparrazzi will be a'stalkin'.

There's a Facebook page dedicated to Adelaide crappy Drivers or something like that. 

There have been some nasty comments from those being named and shamed (though they did deserve it) and have threatened legal action for public defamation, with FB boffins removing the pictures of the offending drivers.

I have no idea how they would go in court, yet there have been people successfully suing people due to FB posts

"Course and I went to the police station, reported them both and the police said they can't do a thing as it's effectively hearsay.  And furthermore that they were busy with important stuff.

This has been attempted several times in the past.  Some have even tried to make a business out of it by selling it as a service to fleet owners.

All have failed, as this will, to.  Nobody wants to pay bandwidth, storage and upkeep / moderation costs for a bunch of whiners and snitchers.

Hip social media is not a defence against saying nasty things about people.  Ask the people who slandered a British MP about that.

 

Dash cams will make a bigger difference over time.  Also cyclist cams.  Always something to think about when trying a kamikaze overtaking manouvre early on a Sunday morning.  Not that I would ever do such a thing, of course.
