  • Traveling northbound on I-85 at the Pelham Road off ramp (Exit 54) just about 8:00 AM Friday morning. Heavy traffic at average speed of 55-60 mph. The woman was on the cell phone. Just yards before the off ramp she starts to go on to the off ramp, but swerves back on to I-85 because the big red dually truck is on the off ramp there. She slows down and almost past the ramp gets off I-85. Ma'm If you want to get off I-85 safely get off the phone BEFORE you get on the road any place.

  • Incident occurred on 10/17 at the BiLo Center parking garage after KISS concert. There are a line of cars waiting coming down from Level 6. Well this impatient moron decides he's more important than everyone else and comes flying down the side, flies around and pulls right up to the car in front of me. I inched up closer (not that I was far away) and as the line started moving he kept on the tail so I couldn't go. Hello! We all had been waiting there for 15 minutes!! What gives you the right to cut in front of us? I honked the horn at him and he gives me a nasty smirk so I flicked him off. Him and his ugly ass woman decided to laugh at me, finding it amusing what they just did. So I lay down on the horn again and give them another "friendly wave". These imbociles were in such a hurry but yet they stopped to let every car back out in front of them. Well I believe in what comes around goes around and I hope that was your dumb ass I saw pulled over by a cop on 385.

  • NOTE:  (The tags are actually the new 2009 "sunset" SC plates that are now standard issue)

If you weren't on Glenn McConnell Pkwy today between Mary Ader Ave. and the entrance to Providence Commons, oh boy did you miss me!

Turns out, I had my left turn signal on the ENTIRE length of McConnell Pkwy - even as I was weaving my way in & out of traffic at highway speeds!  

Gosh, I sure love cutting people off so I get to the red lights first!  There's nothing like the adrenaline rush of arriving at a destination a fraction of a second sooner than I would've if I hadn't been a retard!

Hmm...maybe one of these days, my horrible driving will get me into a single car accident!  That would be cool!  

If you see me out there on the roads, be sure to honk at me and give me the finger because, chances are, I'm doing something really, REALLY STUPID!

  • This idiot should have his license revoked. He swerves constantly in the road, narrowly missing oncoming traffic, all the while gabbing on his cell phone. I followed him for several miles, and in that time witnessed him running stop signs, failure to yield, and road rage when he actually gave the finger to an elderly lady crossing the crosswalk in front of him causing him a few seconds of delay. He was obviously raised in a barn.

  • I was driving up Verdae and passing the Bilo.  This girl FLEW up to the stop sign by the Bilo and almost hit me when I was driving by on Verdae.  She then pulled behind me and was within an inch of my bumper all the way to Faris road where she then took a left onto Faris.  I couldn't even see her in my mirrors she was so close.  I was going the speed limit the entire time and this little witch would not back off.  She looked to be in her teens.

  • We were turning onto the entrance ramp to get on I26 south.  I was in the middle between an suv and then this idiot was behind me.  There are initially 2 lanes, one of the lanes is for cars comming from the other direction, to enter the entrance ramp.  I looked in my rearview mirror and this idiot is attached to my rear end.  I also noticed a young child sitting in the front passenger seat.  I guess I wasn't ass riding the vehicle in front of me enough for this idiot, he came flying around me as the 2 lanes merge into 1 prior to merging on the interstate.  He then attempts to wedge in between me and the SUV in front of me, causing me to have to slam on brakes to allow him enough room or he was going to hit me!  He then continued to act like a total idiot on the interstate, ass riding anyone in any lane he was in, although, there was no reason to do so.  I hope it makes you feel big and bad to act like that, putting everyone else's life at risk INCLUDING THE POOR CHILD IN YOUR OWN VEHICLE!!  Perhaps a call to DSS is in order!

  • After a couple nights of my Obama campaign signs being stolen from my front yard, this idiot decides to come back for a third night and I was ready for him. Here is his plate number, he is an older gentleman probably in his mid to late 50's, early 60's. White male, about 6'-6'-2". Didnt make out the make of his car, just its a silver compact sedan. I know this is not a traffic violation, but one night he came within a few feet of my front door to remove a political sign. If this is the type of people who support Senator McCain, then these are the last people I want running my country. Its bad enough Bush ran it into the ground.

    out of my way I come 1st   Thursday, July 29, 2010

     Please watch out for me in my Alien Green Kia Soul

    SC plate CUR165. When I'm on Harborview Rd on James Island I think when the sign shows "right lane ends merge to the left" it means push to the front of the merge line on the left. You have to excuse me I'm a spoiled brat whom thinks that the world revolves around me!

    Common sense!   Thursday, January 29, 2009

     Yesterday morning around 7:45 an idiot driving a maroon/burgundy Dodge Stratus (I wish I had gotten his license plate #) decides to cut out in front of me on Paris Bridge Rd. I guess he couldn't wait for 1 more car (being me) to pass before coming out. The speed limit is 50 and he continues to crawl at 20. Needless to say I am on his tail hoping he'll get the hint to speed up, esp since he was in such a hurry to cut in front of me. This moron then decided to start hitting his brakes. What the hell?? Please people if you are in such a hurry that you have to cut in front of someone at least press the friggin gas pedal!! It's not that hard. Oh nevermind, this is SC. People here have NO clue how to drive.

    stop sign runner   Tuesday, July 08, 2008

    Around 11:30 am today while leaving WalMart in Boiling Springs this guy in an older model dark grey Toyota Carolla (license plate SC 66? 5D?) comes flying thru the gas station and runs a stop sign causing me to hit the breaks and for the truck entering to break to avoid hitting him. What is the freakin hurry? Not to mention that while I was behind him he was unable to use a turn signal. Big surprise there. No wonder his car is beat up and looks like shit. Watch out for this idiot!!

    I'd also like to point out that while exiting the Wally World parking lot there were 2 vehicles coming in the opposite direction. The problem? It's a one way lane!! Then people look at me like I'm from mars for pointing and mouthing it while riding by. Look at the arrows people! I know a lot of people down here are illiterate and can't read the Enter/Exit signs posted above the doorways but to read an arrow direction isn't that hard......

    sick of it   Thursday, March 06, 2008

    i am sick to death of the kind and considerate butt holes that travel Celenese Rd in Rock Hill.  try to understand this concept.  if you need to use the right lane to enter 77 Northbound then do not cut people off 50 feet before the entrance.  get in the proper lane before it is necessary.  you know you need to get in line like the rest of us and wait your turn.  i realized this is a new concept for ignorant and uneducationed southerners thinking that they are driving for NASCAR or running moonshine but i thought there was such a thing as southern hospitality.  i guess that applies to everything but driving?  lets not even get started about traveling on the interstates in and around Charlotte.  Not every accident is a sightseeing attraction.  Just because it bleeds does not mean you need to stare at the injured parties like a sideshow attraction.  think about how you would feel...oh wait a minute that is right you don't understand the analytical process.  and what is with the imaginary line that everything behind the line is backed up to the stateline and everything over the line is free and clear.  there was never an accident or anything.  folks pick a lane and stay there but if you must change lanes USE YOUR FREAKING TURN SIGNALS YOU KNOW THEY COME FREE WITH THE CAR.  I REALIZE THAT THE MENTALITY AND INTELLECT IS LACKING BUT IF YOU CAN US THE INTERNET TO FIND A NASCAR RACE YOU CAN USE YOUR TURN SIGNALS.  PLEASE TAKE THE CAR OWNERS CLASS THAT SHOWS YOU HOW TO USE YOUR TURN SIGNALS.  THE NOVELTY IS IT MIGHT JUST SAVE YOUR LIFE!  WOW SAVING A LIFE!  now that i have your attention please pay attention.  one more thing STAY OFF THE FREAKING CELLPHONE AND QUIT PUTTING YOUR MAKE-UP ON.  please!!!!! again the life you save maybe your own.  folks get a grip drive to arrive in one piece and it is not lets see who gets their first.  winning is arriving alive!!!

    Your tax dollars-- maybe?   Friday, February 15, 2008

     While driving home from FL to NJ my wife and I observed this real butt head driving a white car with MD plates on it make numerous lane changes(no signals ), cut people off, pass on the right, and tailgate ( less than ONE car length) while going 75+mph. I was unable to get this butt head's plate number........ however it was some kind of a fleet car ( gov't ?) with the number 1599 in 3 inch characters on the left side of the rear bumper. His reckless driving continued through all of SC and most of NC. We got rid of this NASCAR wannabe when we stopped for food and fuel. I hope his boss reads this and FIRES his pathetic butt.                                dafuzzmeister NJ

    Red means stop.   Thursday, January 24, 2008

    I was pulling out from eating dinner in the Dorman Center in Spartanburg.  I was going to go straight, across 29.  There were 2 turn lanes and a third for going straight.  I pull into the lane for going straight, and there is a pickup truck in each of ther other lanes.   All three of us get green, I can go straight and the two trucks have arrows.  All of a sudden the two trucks stop, I look to the left and see a white Jetta about 20 feet from my car about to T-bone me.  I hit the gas and made it through the intersection. 

    Unfortunatly I was not able to record any other info other than the fact it was a white Jetta heading North on highway 29 towards downtown Spartanburg.

    blue light turned on   Monday, September 03, 2007

    This morning about 0625 Sept. 3, 2007 a white 2003 Ford mustang was going down Savannah Hwy  with a blue light on in the front by the rear view mirror. The car was not a police car, and when I pulled to the side of it he turned it off. I passed him then decided to stop in the median before Wesley Dr. and wait on him to pass so I could get the tag number. He passed and I called in the  K7713 SC to the city police. I would not stop for this guy if her were behind me. He is a white male, late 30's, white t-shirt, laundry basket in the back seat. You could also see the bule light for a distance behind the car.

    Keep it Private!   Monday, August 20, 2007

    I was driving home after some friends and I were out for the evening.  We were stopped at a red light behind this SUV and the people who were in the vehicle in front of us were watching a movie/dvd that the whole world could see at night.  It was a porn movie!  That should be kept within the privacy of your home.  Just imagine if there were kids in the car!

     Someone please answer me this tough question? How in Gods name can you leave your children in a car all day, knowing they are out there?What the hell is wrong with people now-a days?

Then bag her up and throw her away.  I know this sounds extremely tough but come on. I will never comprehend what was going on in her mind? Didnt anyone in her family see this coming? Hello????Of course she is in mourning. PA-LEEZ! Just had to get this off my mind.

    Champaign Colored Jaguar...   Friday, July 27, 2007

     So I was driving down Ashley Phospate Rd in North Chuck yesterday around 230 pm and there was this Champaign colored Jag in front of me.  I noticed a little swerving, but didn't think anything of it until I noticed something.  This fool had a cell phone in one hand and a fork in the other.  Yep! A FORK!  He/She was eating something that required the use of a fork while talking on the phone and driving. So every time this fool took a bite, "look ma, no hands".  How rediculous!  This person then continued onto Cross County, which happened to be where I was going, and continued to eat and talk all the way to Dorchester Rd and beyond. (I stopped at Post office)  I wish I had remembered the Tag number.  I never saw such a blatent disreguard for saftey in my life.  Oh, yeah, whoever this was also had a handicapped tag hanging in the window.

    PLEASE READ   Tuesday, July 17, 2007

     
    Jack took a long look at his speedometer before slowing down: 73 in a 55
    zone. Fourth time in as many months. How could a guy get caught so
    often?

    When his car had slowed to 10 miles an hour, Jack pulled over, but only
    partially. Let the cop worry about the potential traffic hazard. Maybe
    some other car will tweak his backside with a mirror. The cop was
    stepping out of his car, the big pad in hand.

    Bob? Bob from Church? Jack sunk farther into his trench coat. This was
    worse than the coming ticket. A cop catching a guy from his own church.
    A guy who happened to be a little eager to get home after a long day at
    the office. A guy he was about to play golf with tomorrow.

    Jumping out of the car, he approached a man he saw every Sunday, a man
    he'd never seen in uniform.

    "Hi, Bob. Fancy meeting you like this."

    "Hello, Jack." No smile.

    "Guess you caught me red-handed in a rush to see my wife and kids."

    "Yeah, I guess." Bob seemed uncertain. Good.

    "I've seen some long days at the office lately. I'm afraid I bent the
    rules a bit -just this once."

    Jack toed at a pebble on the pavement. "Diane said something about roast
    beef and potatoes tonight. Know what I mean?" "I know what you mean. I
    also know that you have a reputation in our precinct ." Ouch. This was
    not going in the right direction. Time to change tactics.

    "What'd you clock me at?"

    "Seventy. Would you sit back in your car please?"

    "Now wait a minute here, Bob. I checked as soon as I saw you. I was
    barely nudging 65." The lie seemed to come easier with every ticket.

    "Please, Jack, in the car"

    Flustered, Jack hunched himself through the still-open door. Slamming it
    shut, he stared at the dashboard. He was in no rush to open the window.

    The minutes ticked by. Bob scribbled away on the pad.

    Why hadn't he asked for a driver's license?

    Whatever the reason, it would be a month of Sundays before Jack ever sat
    near this cop again. A tap on the door jerked his head to the left.
    There was Bob, a folded paper in hand Jack rolled down the window a mere
    two inches, just enough room for Bob to pass him the slip.

    "Thanks." Jack could not quite keep the sneer out of his voice.

    Bob returned to his police car without a word. Jack watched his retreat
    in the mirror. Jack unfolded the sheet of paper. How much was this one
    going to cost?

    Wait a minute. What was this? Some kind of joke?

    Certainly not a ticket. Jack began to read:

    "Dear Jack, Once upon a time I had a daughter. She was six when killed
    by a car. You guessed it- a speeding driver. A fine and three months in
    jail, and the man was free. Free to hug his daughters, all three of
    them. I only had one, and I'm going to have to wait until Heaven before
    I can ever hug her again.

    A thousand times I've tried to forgive that man. A thousand times I
    thought I had. Maybe I did, but I need to do it again. Even now. Pray
    for me. And be careful, Jack, my son is all I have left."

    "Bob"

    Jack turned around in time to see Bob's car pull away and head down the
    road.. Jack watched until it disappeared. A full 15 minutes later, he
    too, pulled away and drove slowly home, praying for forgiveness and
    hugging a surprised wife and kids when he arrived.

    Life is precious. Handle it with care. This is an important message;
    please pass it along to your friends. Drive safely and carefully.
    Remember, cars are not the only things recalled by their maker.

    Funny how you can send a thousand jokes through e-mail and they spread
    like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the
    sanctity of life, people think twice about sharing.

    Funny how when you go to forward this message, you will not send it to
    many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or
    what they will think of you for sending it to them.

    Pass this on, you may save a life. Maybe not, but we'll never know if we
    don't try.

    May today there be peace within you. May you trust God that you are
    exactly where you are meant to be. "I believe that friends are quiet
    angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering
    how to fly."
