  • On the morning of July 27,2010, at approximately 7:35 am, I had just come down the I-395(East) Exit 79 ramp and was stopped at the light. When I got the green light and began my left-hand turn onto Rt. 163, a newer white Toyota Tacoma pickup truck with CT license plate C3-7036 blew through the red light that he had as he was travelling in an easterly direction. There was no attempt on his part to stop or slow down. If not for ABS and a quick glance to my right, before pulling into the lane, I would have gotten nailed by this bad driver. Not only did he go through a red light, but he was travelling in excess of the posted speed limit.

  • This guy was insane, weaving in and out of traffic, coming within inches of my back bumper, displaying insane tactics (changing lanes in the middle of an intersection), and... at the end of it all, all his maneuvering, he ended up right in front of me at a stoplight. He failed to signal repeatedly. He was driving a handicapped car and should be pulled over and DISCIPLINED. SO RUDE!!!

  • 8:45AM 6/28/2010 - Turning from 218 onto Bloomfield Ave nearly forced another driver off the road.  Later on Bloomfield Ave., passed a car on the right in order to run a red light.  Just for identification, I think the driver was a white woman.

BTW, the plate color was darker than other plates I've seen, and seems to have a Boston Red Sox theme.

  • We were driving on I-691 towards Middletown and this blond bitch thinks she owns the road and shows a big attitude with her face and how she drives when someone cuts her off unintentionally (meaning they had a blinker on and changed lanes properly). She thinks it's ok to try and jeopardize someone else's life when they get too close to her, and has tried to run a couple of cars off the road on purpose! One car we saw pursued her to report her to the police and she just floored it, almost causing a couple more accidents. I bet you are just as nasty in person if you have that 'fuck of' attitude all the time.

  • Driving down Route 22, this idiot merged onto Rte. 22 from Rte. 150 from a dead stop, right in front of me.  Chances are he was on his cell phone.  This caused me to slam on my brakes on a wet road.  At the light on Rte. 17, waiting to turn down Rte. 22, this dope was staring at me in his side mirror for no reason. 

So tired of rude and inconsiderate people on the roads.

  • On Route 66 in Hebron driver in red charger tried to pass a long line on traffic in a no passing zone.  After passing two cars traffic approached from the opposite direction and he jerked his car back into the correct travel lane.  Completely unsafe driver...willing to take a chance with the lives of others.

  • Driving speeding down 198 in Chaplin gets on my tail and "drafts" me like a NASCAR race from Chaplin to the Route 203 turn in Windham.  She was often so close to my trunk I could not see headlights.  When she could finally past me she made a rude gesture, when when I tried to get her attention, she ignored me.  Sooner or later she is going to hit someone...hard!

  • 2-17-10 3:45pm intersection of Washington Street and Stafford Ave -The light turns green and I am wondering why the Mazda Tribute in front of me continues to sit there.... finally I can see them tilt their head up and to the right. DUH! get off your cell phone (that you are not suppose to be on, remember the CT state law banning them?) Guess you didn't get the memo. Well here it is: turn off your cell phone and drive. Instead the person's head is tilted to the left while they are now driving down the street EXCEEDING the  posted speed limit by at least 20mph. Thanks to you, you are another irresponsible, unsafe driver steering a 3 ton killing machine.

  • During rush hour, I noticed this idiot weaving in and out of traffic. She was also tailgating other drivers as she was going so fast. Due to an accident, we all hit about 1/2 mile to a mile of traffic. She tried to cut me off in the backup but I would not let her in. She then had the audacity to give me the finger and mouth "f*** you a***ole." Once traffic was flowing, she again passed me and gave me the finger.

  •   Speeding, tailgating, constantly changing lanes and alarming other drivers in heavy traffic. Pretty much slalom racing through city traffic on I-91 Northbound at 11 a.m. 12/17/09. Passed me at MM #19 Northbound. Looked like the driver was playing and having fun scaring people.

  • Approaching Sea Hill Road from Beech Street, there is a 3-way intersection, with each direction having a stop sign.  This idiot was coming from the right side and blew through the stop sign, not even an attempt to stop.  As she sped through the intersection, she looked right at me.  This type of thing happens often in this area and it is not the first time I have seen someone do this.

    Learn to STOP for Red Light   Wednesday, July 28, 2010

    On July 27,2010, while on my way into work, I was almost hit by an older man driving a newer white Tacoma. Evidently he missed the fact that the four red lights aimed in his direction meant he should STOP!!! I was at a stop at the end of the I-395 East Exti 79 ramp at 7:30 am. When I got the green light, I was to turn left onto Rt. 163. Thank goodness for ABS and a quick glance to the right. The jerk in the Tacoma (CT Plate C3-7036) never even considered stopping for the light, and had to be going in excess of 30 miles per hour. If I had pulled out, I am pretty sure he would have totalled my car. SLOW DOWN AND STOP WHEN IT IS YOUR TURN TO STOP!!!!

    Passing in breakdown lane on I-91 South   Tuesday, December 22, 2009

    Awful, impatient driver on I-91 South around 9am between exits 14 and 12.

    I was traveling at about 60-65 mph in the middle lane behind a tractor trailer. This horrible, dangerous driver was in the right lane next to me in a black Ford Explorer (older model). He was frustrated with the driver in front of him, in the slow lane mind you, going about 50-55 mph. With a tractor trailer in the middle lane, and him stuck behind the slow driver in the right lane, he decided to pass him on the right in the breakdown lane.

    I don't care if you're transporting your own severed finger to the hospital, there is absolutely NO excuse for this type of driving. A menace to all.

    221-THR Speeds up for pedestrians   Monday, November 23, 2009

    Watch out for this moron in the maroon Acura, license plate 221-THR.

    I was crossing the street and this psychotic woman was pulling out of the Constitution Plaza parking garage in downtown Hartford. I was already half way across the street as she pulled onto the street with about 20 ft between her car and myself. Instead of slowing to allow me to finish crossing the street, she sped up, gunned it in fact, with her side mirror hitting the side of my hip. The imbecile proceeded to speed off onto the nearby highway ramp without any regard to the fact that she had hit a pedestrian.

    The highway is not the Indy 500!   Wednesday, October 14, 2009

     Stop tailgating people at 60+ mph! You recklessly did that for several minutes, then finally passed, then took off at what looked like 75mph down the Route 7 Connector (northbound) at 5:15pm tonight, Oct 14th. What was the hurry? You got stuck at the light at the endof the connector along with the other two speeders that clumped right along with you. Sheesh.

    Well where do I begin so much to say. First off people are driving more crazy these days. They speed, tailgate, pull out right in front of you, and run red lights. If you are one of those drivers you should be so ashamed of yourself, what nerve and it really makes me so upset. Also I have to complain about people who drive motorcycles because just the other day I was driving and this fool was right on my bumper and then he passed me, they speed on those things and I suppose if your driving slow that gives you the right to pass someone hell no! Stop driving crazy on those things. People out there really need to learn how to drive whether its a car or motorcycle. If you drive crazy your a big asshole.

    RI Drivers at the worst!!   Sunday, January 11, 2009

     Ok, how many Ct. people out there have to drive into RI to work or have had a bad experience with a car from RI? Yah I know...everyone in every state says so & so has the worst drivers in the country but how many states can claim that it's been documented? Dhhhh! That's right...RI! I've been driving into Cranston to work for 28 friggin years and it never fails to amaze me how stupid, clueless and oblivious people can be when it comes to what can be such an easy & fun thing to do like driving. Worst offense? "TURN SIGNALS" or the lack of them...Next? Driving in the wrong lanes ie. everyone in the left lane while the right lane is empty! And a 4-way stop? Forget it! Yield signs? If they have one, you better slam on your brakes or you'll get the finger. Ahhh, enough for now......getting a headache.

    Driving like they shop.   Saturday, January 10, 2009

      Ever notice how oblivious people are these days? Having a 70 mile a day commute into RI., the state with the worst drivers (actually documented) I constantly ask myself "How can anyone be so completely unaware of what is going on around them?"

     Well, just go into any grocery store to see the whole senario on a smaller scale...When somebody has to stop, why do they do it right in the middle of the isile? While yaking on cells phones, why do they expect you to move out of their way, even if that means you have to go to the "left" of the aisle? Why do they blindly charge around corners? (got to go...back later)

    Litterbug   Tuesday, November 04, 2008

    I don't think a quick litterbug story warrants a Flag, so here's a simple rant/rave about it....

    This is for the driver of the black Nissan Altima with CT license 624-RLM who was on I-84 West in Hartford on 11/4/08 at about 7:15 AM.  Along with the rest of us, you were stuck on the Bulkley Bridge due to a 3 car accident just outstide the Hartford Tunnel. 

    I was in the SUV right behind you and witnessed you first sending your cigarette butt out the window, then throwing what appeared to be the cigarette pack wrapper of your next pack out the window.  Come on lady, the world is dirty enough (especially in Hartford!) - we don't need you adding to the mess!! 

    I noticed you had a handicapped placard hanging from your mirror.  Just because you're handicapped doesn't mean you have to act like a retard!  Would it have killed you to use the ashtray for your butt and keep the trash in your car until you got some place where you could throw it into a proper trash recepticle??? 

    Next time, please use your head for something other than a hat rack!

    Thanks for listening folks!

    Black Mercedes from Hell   Tuesday, July 22, 2008

     We've all been tailgated, I'm sure we've all tailgated someone, but there's tailgating and then there's aggressive dangerous tailgating, like you see on TV movies. Today I experienced one of those. A man (I won't call him a gentleman as he's certainly NOT one) was driving a rather pricey black BMW (CT plates, alas, did not catch them) and was doing that kind of extreme pull-right-up-to your-bumper tailgating. I drove down the road  (Wilton, CT) and decided to turn in the next turn I saw just to get the jackass off my back. I did notice as I was turning that this gray-haired guy also made an obscene gesture. My only deduction is that this guy works in finance and lost money in the markets. Jerk.

    If anyone else is on Route 15S, please be advised that a male driver in a dodge caravan cut off 2 people, causing them to break incredibly fast and swerve a bit almost hitting my car with my 2 boys in it.  I caught up with him to get his plate # and he gave me the finger and kept flapping his arms like a bird.  Please be careful to stay away from drivers who think they can do whatever they want on the road at the expense of other drivers & passengers.  LOSER!!!

    Target?   Wednesday, May 21, 2008

    This morning, blond bimbo came onto the highway high rate of speed, cut behind a school bus in the right lane, across to the car space that wasn't in front of me in the center lane, forcing me into the merging left lane. I slammed on my brakes and swerved to the left, she sped on, tailgating for the next 7 miles until the highway split north and south. Plate photo taken, CT 272MEE

    I84 Exit 37   Tuesday, April 08, 2008

    There are several cars who use this exit ramp light as a racetrack when it turns green and I've been keeping a list of the worst offenders.  Top of the list, dark-haired female in a silver Honda Oddysey minivan, License plate 723-SBU, who repeatedly swerves to change lanes last minute in order to get in front of whatever car is in front of her.  Once again this morning, she was behind me and when the lanes merged into one, decided she needed to be in front of me, so at the last minute, she swerved and accelerated so fast that if I didn't slam on my brakes, she would have run me off the road.  She gets a crazed look to her so it's also a bit scary.  I SO wish police would monitor this exit ramp even once in a while and catch her in the act before she comes across someone who doesn't slam on their brakes and cost someone their life!
