Eg. Massively over the speed limit (as a percentage though so that 40 over in a 50 zone is more heavily frowned upon than 40 over on the open road for example), Street racing, just the real stupid stuff you see in the papers.
I whole heartedly agree with you here, a system similar to insurance ie rating 1 is the best, results in reduced rego, fees and so on would be an excellent idea.
I think it would actually have an impact on a persons driving behaviour. Knowing that because I've done something stupid my rego is going to go up as a direct result would stop me doing something dangerous.
