can you get fined based on a report

[vx aiden]

hey everyone,

out of curiosity, if someone was drifting or sliding however you put it, can a pedestrian or another driver get your number plate etc and inform the police. if so, can the police fine you or even remove demerit points based on a report?

thanks

What state? And are we talking about just a report or a statement?

Dont believe so. They may possible pay you a visit and give you a warning or somesuch.

I'm in NZ and when I was 15 and on my restricted liscense (same as your P's I believe) I had a cop come and tell my mum her car had been sited doing handbrake slides in a gravel carpark, lol.

vx aiden,

Not too sure about SA, but here in Vic, if there's a statement then yes it's very possible. It all depends on the officer and their discression. Also previous offences can be looked at.

However, if you submit a false statement and they find out, be prepared to cop a fine over it

Yeah in SA it's possible. A few mates have lost their licences from being caught doing donuts in isolated intersections early hours of the morning. A member of the public dobbed them in, cops caught up with them the next day. They went to court and lost their licence for 6 months.
