Number plate "vigilante"
Discussion
http://www.drivershallofshame.co.uk/forums/viewfor...
Has anyone come across this website before? It appears to be one man who lives in the new forest area who drives round taking pictures of people's illegal number plates and other minor motoring "crimes" and posts them online. He also encourages the reporting of these "crimes" to the police or crimestoppers
I expect he'd be treated as some sort of Demigod by some of the folks on here.

Bet this guy is brilliant company. You can just imagine this poor blokes wife having to sit through endless boring rants about trivial s
t like numberplate spacing, cursing the day she didn't run away with the milkman and forlornly asking herself "he wasn't always like this... was he?".

I guess he isn't in IT, so he probably isn't on here. The car owner might well be.

I don't have chav spacing on my number plate, so not really bothered what the guy does.
At the end of the day, number plates are designed to be visible, so getting noticed by either this guy, or the old bill directly shouldn't really come as a huge surprise.
The OP is obviously upset that he has been caught doing something he already suspects is illegal.
The guy doesn't just report illegal "chavplaters" to crimestoppers, he has articles about how to use mini roundabouts correctly etc.At the end of the day, number plates are designed to be visible, so getting noticed by either this guy, or the old bill directly shouldn't really come as a huge surprise.

The site ethos page is just tragic:
Hi and welcome to Drivers Hall Of Shame!
On a daily basis I see driver after driver demonstrating poor judgement, acting inconsiderately or just plain stupid! The frustrating thing is you very rarely get to tell them and so they never learn and continue in the same manner upsetting others and if you did tell some of them about their driving they would no doubt get very defensive and even aggressive and blame you for something that they did, this may even result in a punch or worse for your troubles. Anyway there are far too many bad drivers out there for the police to deal with and the courts probably wouldn't even entertain the thought of prosecuting so it's time to shift the balance and let people have their say. So, this forum allows you to say your piece and make others aware of some of the shameful road users out there without the the worry of a physical confrontation.
We have created a list of regular mis-demeanours committed by other road users, although the list is not exhaustive, and welcome your input.
The site will be ever evolving and your suggestions are very welcome so please add them to the SITE SUGGESTIONS section.
There are also plans afoot to create some business cards which will be available at a nominal cost and you can then leave these on the stationary cars you see and let them know they have been seen. They may even come here and try and defend their actions - let the fun begin!
Enjoy the forum and tell others!
Road User
I do hope the business cards are in circulation
By the way I'm not upset about anything, I think the hate for personal plates is hilarious.
Strangely enough, the police didn't burst through my door in a pre dawn raid. walm said:
I thought they just stopped you the other day!
Appears to be working!
Ha ha, well I can see why you came to that conclusion, but the pic on his site was from 2012 and hundreds of miles away. Unless of course the police share this intelligence across multiple forces and have been just waiting for me to pop up Appears to be working!
He's even got some hate for people who take selfies:

Very strange website. Thats pretty unique in a 'loner' sort of way. Obviously he cant find a friend to do everyday normal things we take for granted. I suppose thats the way that some individuals want to pursue their lives, but he is probably still at home with his parents and will be for ever more ........
Perhaps it's what Yipper and Audemars do in their spare time away from here ?bmw535i said:

Lol, just like the sad muppets in the number plate thread. I'm sure one day (one can only hope) one of them will get lamped taking a picture of someone number plate.
