People just get too worked up over all sorts of crap these days.
See someone taking a leak on the side of the road? Quick take a picture of it , and hurry to publish it and the vehicles rego number on the internet.
Really who cares. If people are tards they are tards.
Society is turning into a bunch of old women who just cant mind their own business and have to gossip about everything.

The great thing about opinions, they are like ****-holes, every one has one and most of them stink!

131444 would be more appropriate. If the passenger only let them be. But when it's the driver I would also consider reporting to the police.

We would probably get done for talking on the mobile phone instead.

I am exceptionally confident that 000 is the right one to call, and they would deal with it appropriately, as you see, the Police think that ******* driving like that is quite serious, even if others don't.

passengers feet out window... meh (see it all the time).... driver in submariner/corpse position... well based on the number of times I've seen it up here, prolly meh by the constabulary ( funny story, saw a guy in a VL commodore driving in prone pozzy, so I got alongside him in my XD, made sure he was looking and wound the seat back to mimmick his buffoonery and then gave him two thumbs up from just above the lower window ledge... (he started throwing middle fingers at me like there's no tomorrow and shot off at like 95 in a 60 zone, lol.)... anyway, I reckon if you'd nabbed the plates and a piccy of what they were up to, surely you could get some satisfaction... Barring that it's just pointless ranting on a forum. So observe what they're doing, keep a safe distance and be prepared for the worst (preferably with a camera at the ready)... After all, have the final destination flicks taught us nothing about the inevitability of death's design

Feet out the window is nothing, but if the driver was doing it, that's just bloody stupid :\

ALSO DEY WUZ DRIVUNG KOMODOR, THARFOR DEY IZ STOOPID
I didn't think to abuse the OP for commodore bashing just because he stated the car?
Stop trying to be so right wing everyone
Im sure if he said they where in a 180SX you all woulda flamed for rice bashing :\
No offence taken. But the event was not by any means edited.

Yeah, well i spent the next 30sec or so after the abuse (which couldn't be heard) and finger just in stunned disbelief that someone could be so stupid. Noticing the ...-GAG numberplates and thinking that if it wasn't so stupid it would be a gag / joke. It was then that i decided i probably should take a photo on my old phone (not to post here or to sell to ACA / TT either).

I thought it did but, it lost or didn't take some of the xmas photos of my young children either. Anyone else had an N95 that did this too?

So, without the photo and considering it had now been about 2mins i decided not to call 000. I was pretty certain on the car and the first 2 numbers and last 3 letters, but without proof they do very little. About 8 years ago, i called 000 after being run of the road on a bend at dusk/night by a car on the wrong side of the road on an s-bend. I took evasive action and went off the road onto a grassed area. I was referred to the PAL and it took 20 minutes before they returned the call.

I certainly wasn't going to ask my wife to speed up to try and follow them either to make a 'live' phone call to 000. I wanted them away from me and my family.
