Reporting Agressive Drivers?

I've spent enough time driving on highways in the northeast that nothing shocks me anymore. I generally don't drive aggressively although I'm known to tailgate when the person in front of me is not going a reasonable speed - it's just my way of saying move out of the left lane. Some people believe they can sit in the left lane as long as they're doing the speed limit. That's not the way it works. I keep right except to pass, just like it says on the signs.

I will however call up the State Police if I witness something clearly reckless, and I've done it a handful of times over the years.

 

Too bad brother, I think the only thing that u can do is move over. if something happens because he or she hit you, that's when you can act and report to the police.

 

There's an app for that but on the other hand...as has been mentioned, a shit ton of people driving around staring at their intestines without regard to anyone else being on the road actually generate aggressive behavior from many otherwise passive drivers because of their inattentive distracted discourteous fucking habits like driving 55 in the left lane when it's 65 speed limit, using blinkers while already halfway in the other lane cutting someone off, sleeping at green lights, etc etc etc. IMO, there'd be a lot less aggressive out there if all the people with their heads up their asses would pay attention to the driving task, carpool, stay home or just kill theirselves to benefit mankind.

I personally refuse to be governed by other drivers. I will not stay stuck behind asswipes diddling themselves on the road, people who don't know how to properly use blinkers will get the same in return and I will push sleeping people thru green lights if necessary. On the other hand, when no stupid is afoot...I do not block left lane on frwy even if going posted limits, do not need to cut off anyone to get where I need to be because I know where I am and need to go ahead of time and generally just want my own space to proceed at my own pace and leave others a right of way to do the same. I do not bother with intimidation or educational tactics but will not be toyed with, restricted, delayed unecessarily or blocked either. Lead, follow or get the fuck out the way is all there is to it.

 

In Colorado its *CSP to report aggressive/drunk drivers. You might wanna contact your local highway patrol office or police non emergency line and ask about this type of set up. I would report the activity, at least it gets logged in the system that someone called it in and if she does get pulled over later on down the road, the dispatch center will have that record in the system. If she is acting very dangerously, I'd call it in and stay on the phone with the dispatcher if you can, and stay with her until they have an officer on scene.

 

I agree completely...and I'm very glad you have TW to vent this.

Wow, take a breath brother!

 

People who hang up the speedlane think they're so smart-the day my Dad died I was at work and rushed to get home-I was stuck behind an asshole and another guy in the right lane on the two lane highway home who thought I was just being a punk and decided they would keep me in my place. Good job I missed my pop being taken by ambulance by 10 minutes. I could have been with him. So anyone here who does that to people just remember-a person may need that lane because of an emergency.
That was in 1985-I remember that guy's car like it happened yesterday.

 

Phewwww.

You're in Texas. Thought it may be me...

 

Jesus.............just move over and let them pass........that's what I do.....don't sweat the small stuff............

 

People who drive like their ass is on fire for no reason really bother me, like someone on here already said leave home 10 min earlier rather than kill somebody.

I too am totally frustrated by the left laners as I call them, they will set the cruise right at or slightly less than the posted and setup camp in the left lane. Isn't the left lane for passing only WTF?

Don't even get me started on the DB's who refuse to turn on their healights on until 9PM regardless of the weather conditions - I could go on & on.

 

Didn't your momma tell you not to be a "tattletale"? Just because this other driver is "getting on your nerves", doesn't mean you should contact authorities. . . Grow a pair, and let her be a miserable grump.

 

What this guy said...

Oh god no, i can see why no one would want to "get on her ass" LOL.

 

Just a matter of time. Police will catch her.


We have a 4 way stop near my house. These intersection work pretty easy, "wait your turn".

Some motorist think it is their God given right to jump out of turn or have more rights on road than the rest of us.

Keep safe and alert, there are too many half wits on the roads.

 

1. when she tailgates you again, slam on your brakes.
2. stop car, approach her car and knock on her window.
3. when she rolls down her window, proceed to hit her with your fist in her face.
4. repeat step #3 until you are satisfied.

 

NH EZ-Pass lanes are 25 mph. You were driving too slow.....not that I would bother calling anyone about it.
