Listen please ok?  not sure what gender you were, however you are supposed to be a professional here...yet you know the lane was closed to the right onto the Fore river bridge, this is why i moved over to the left( i wasnt cutting you off as you seem to think i was)...you are in a taller vehicle yet didn't see this detour?  so like CUTTING me off and braking in front of me IS not safe..then as you haven't a clue how to use your turn signals you come to a complete stop then pull into a Dairy Queen parking lot? ....it was closed for the season BTW! so me nearly hitting you for you just needed that ice cream fix in the am is just ludicrous. 
i am glad no clients were in your car!

Broad Reach parking garage, failed to stop at stop sign as i was exiting my garage. Sir i dont think you live here for you had no Parking sticker, thus you are a visitor i believe common sense will tell you as you were leaving it is shaped like an intersection..one must stop and look...plus there is a STOP SIGN this BIG right in front of you, and even the VIPS dont act this way leaving the area. So i ask of you next time LOOK both ways please when leaving. You nearly hit me as i had the right of way. 

Also when you left the area of this place you Jumped a stop sign on a busy road.it wasn't a Yield...  You were also was speeding in a 35 mile zone down the street. 
I barely got your plate you were going so fast. No need to speed. Plus the speeding  it got you no were.
have a nice day.

Yeah ... I'm kinda wondering if this WAS a woman.  Hard to tell.  But this moron (no matter what the gender is)just shot out of it's parking stall near the Safeway supermarket in Kapolei ... apparently ... without looking behind it to see if it was clear first.  I had to slam on my brakes to avoid hitting it, then laid on the horn.  It didn't even slow down ... no reaction whatsoever.  Just kept backing it out and sped through the parking lot, oblivious of all the people trying to get into the supermarket.  Moron was just VERY lucky it didn't hit anyone.

  • IT WAS A LUNCH TIME AROUND 1:00 PM ON 10/06/08. I STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHT WHICH DOES NOT HAVE LEFT GREEN ARROW. I HAD TO WAIT FOR THE CARS THAT GO STRAIGHT CLEAR OF THE WAY, THEN I HEARD AN ANGRY DRIVER BEHIND ME BLEW THE HORN TWICE. SO, I IGNORED IT, BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO GET ACCIDENT JUST BECAUSE THIS STUPID JERK BLEW THE HORN. THEN, IT WAS CLEAR, SO I TURNED TO THE LEFT. THEN, THIS CAR KEPT TAILGATING ME AS I DRIVE ON SPEED LIMIT. THEN, I TURNED TO THE RIGHT TO A SMALL ROAD. IN FRONT OF ME THERE WERE TWO CARS AND A CONSTRUCTION TRUCK WHICH MOVED VERY SLOW. I KEPT PRESSING THE BRAKE AS THE CARS IN FRONT OF ME WERE ALSO PRESSING THE BRAKE. THIS CAR WAS STILL TAILGATING ME AND AGAIN BLEW THE HORN TWICE. THEN, I ENTER THE YELLOW LINE TO TURN TO THE LEFT AND THIS CAR WAS SUDDENLY SPEED UP AND CUT IN FRONT OF ME. THIS CAR WAS ALSO GO TO THE GROCERY STORE. THEN, I COULD SEE THE PLATE NUMBER AND WRITE IT DOWN. IT TURNED OUT TO BE A BLACK WOMAN MIDDLE AGE AND ACTING LIKE A DIVA.

  • Outer Drive Rd. north of Mich Ave, about 12 noon, Mon Oct 6.  We were stop and go in a construction zone and the (big) Expedition was behind a guy in a small car in the lane next to me.  Everyone was moving slow because a huge construction crane was crossing the road.  This angry idiot in the Expedition apparently thought the guy in the small car should zoom up and fill every gap in space.  He blew his (her? coudln't tell) horn twice, long, in the space of a minute.  Turns out the small car were a couple of construction workers trying to get to the work site and were unfamiliar with the area (I saw them turn in).  The Expedition continued on his angry erratic way, speeding and tailgatin the person in front of him.  What a jerk, he's the the most important and everyone else who is unfamiliar with the area is too slow.  Probably a Republican.
