Depends on the OS I'd reckon
You need idiot drivers for WinXP, Vista, Linux? 32 or 64 bit?
from the post though, I'd say your driver is fine.

I don't really see how this works.. anyone can say they saw anyone speeding or doing something stupid.. someone goes through a red light.. omg they broke the law.. later you find out they were going to the hospital as they were having a baby and the ambos were busy..
So what your saying is we should report everyone that does something illegal on the road. what if I forget to indicate. what if its broken and I don't know. should I call someone or be called a idiot driver because of it? No.

But Matt, how hard is it to indicate, It should be second nature, and If your indicator is broken, Its illegal to drive it. :P

Is there really a need to stereotype these so called 'idiot' drivers even further with the 'Owner/Driver' field? I mean you don't make a point of mentioning the race, gender, or ethnicity of a suspected lawbreaking driver when you report them to the police, do you? You can't prosecute someone for being Indian or female so it's irrelevant information and I wouldn't expect them to take you very seriously if you pointed it out to them.
If you're going to include any data in that field at all, it should be the company names because some drivers may be disciplined by the company they work for, and for those 'idiots' where a company isn't applicable, you should display something like N/A. Making a point of whether they're female, Greek (how do you know they're not Italian?), or a Government worker makes you look judgemental and goes to discredit your little database as a simple stereotype enforcing exercise.
What do you hope to achieve with the database and police reports anyway? Police can't act on anecdotal evidence of citizens when it comes to driving offences, because offences as subjective as as tailgating are hard enough to prove when a Police officer witnesses it, let alone when they have to depend on someone else's unverifiable anecdotal evidence, and offences as explicit as speeding require solid, objective evidence such as a speed camera photograph in order to prosecute the offender.
I can imagine the cops having a good laugh in HQ at your expense.
Oh, and I can't read half the text on your website. LRN2DESIGN.

Why is this even a discussion, the OP spelled out the URL of his/her page instead of the link. What, are they stopping the evil interweb robots from finding their website that they want everyone to see?
they have failed the internet. Why give them credit by arguing about it.

Theres no such thing as Idiot Drivers, just Idiot governments and City Counciles that don't know how to build a ****ing road propperly. Or maybe its just Palmerston, I dunno.

Stupid as shit. I don't justify the reporting system unless they cause some sort of accident or near accident. If they are speeding, on a straight with near to no cars on the road and they don't appear to be hooning then I see it as 'if they get fined they deserve it'. Now red lights report them, cutting people off report them, crashing due to stupidity report them. But I'd rather a story behind it before passing judgment.

+1, right on the money
although it's not too bad of an idea... just only use the system when its necessary.... and not to be used to get back at your enemy's ect..

So the road conditions, government and councils are at fault for poor driving?
Post 19
in a sense they are - they really should make people resit a written exam every 10 years or something - and make all the questions right of way and round about related ;P

I agree with that, but the way Newbit said it, it sounded like he was blaming the government for not fixing the roads, and in turn the roads for poor driving. Poor roads don't cause poor driving - you can be a great driver and still have an accident if the roads a poor quality. Aren't we supposed to have the best roads in the country or something?
