Residents across the Yarra Ranges are being urged to help make local roads safer by reporting hoons and dangerous drivers—anonymously—through a new initiative backed by Crime Stoppers Victoria.
The ‘See it. Share it!’ campaign encourages drivers to upload dashcam footage of reckless behaviour to a secure online portal. The reports, which can be made anonymously, are then used to assist police investigations and road safety efforts.
The community involvement is key to tackling hoon behaviour and repeat dangerous driving offences.
“Every person behind the wheel has a role to play in road safety. If you witness dangerous driving, don’t ignore it—record it, and report it safely,” a spokesperson said on Yarra Ranges Eyewatch.
Data from the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) shows that over 1,200 lives have been lost on Victorian roads over the past five years, with 295 recorded in 2023, the highest number of lives lost on Victorian roads in 15 years.

The program is part of a broader push to reduce road trauma and improve safety in local neighbourhoods.
