First-up, we queried Australian police forces on what constitutes dangerous driving. Broadly speaking, if you see things such as speeding, racing, burnouts, tailgating, and running red lights, be sure to report it to the relevant authorities.
According to Queensland Police, types of dangerous driving include hooning (such as burnouts, fishtails, drifting, revving engines, screeching tyres), street racing, reckless driving endangering others, dangerous weaving in and out of traffic, and blatant disregard for road rules and signage.
While notifying authorities it’s worth trying to note down the time, date and location of the incident, vehicle details including make, model, and registration number, the details of the dangerous driving behaviour, and any contact details of witnesses.
Western Australian Police has an online form to report hooning and dangerous driving behaviour and asks for details such as a description of the behaviour, description of the driver, date and time of the behaviour, location and weather conditions, and vehicle details such as make, model, and colour.
