Just what we need, a bunch of sanctimonius bad drivers ripping on all the other bad drivers.

What was that quote "He who is without sin..." I have little hope it will be applied here.

Few things boil my blood as fast as an idiot in control of a vehicle. I also, BTW, think idiots shouldn't speak or reproduce. Tailgaters, slow left-lane drivers, and cell phoners are among the worst, but the thing that gets to me the most is seeing a kid in a moving vehicle not buckled up. Here's a related thread...

I got cut off by a cop of all people yesterday. The cop knew it and gave an apologetic wave and i waved back given him the ok (what else can i do its a cop, it was an accident anyway). When i pull up next to him he's looking down at his cell phone, either dialing or text messaging. Its times like that i wish i had a camera phone.

For sure.



Who of us here hasn't (at least inadvertently):
-Exceeded the speed limit
-Cut somebody off
-Burned a late yellow light
-Failed to yield
-Etc.
-Etc.
-Etc.

I consider myself a pretty decent driver, but I can assure you it's only a matter of time before I make PlateWire's list.

I have to agree.

We all have our bad moments, we all drive like idiots at one time or another. But people that do truly stupid stuff...cutting across lanes of traffic to make an exit because it's just too inconvenient to go to the next one, that sort of thing.

I did enjoy this one in TX:
For your wonderful display of questionable driving behavior, I award to you the slobbering drunk weenie award. Please take a bow.
And I searched my license plate, nothing on me yet!

-------

I am somewhat tempted to add one though. Last Sunday morning around 1:30, 1:45 I was coming home from Austin, going with the flow down I-75, traffic was going about 10 over (75 in a 65) and this idiot in a newer Mustang comes flying by weaving in and out of traffic doing at least a hundred.
