This guy was in an obvious hurry, accelerating the snot out that little minivan, getting up in people’s mirrors and cutting others off. General road-bully type behavior. It’s a good thing it was a Friday afternoon and traffic wasn’t moving at freeway speeds. One wrong move and he could have hurt a lot of people. I can only hope he pushes around an unmarked cruiser one day and is charged with reckless driving.

Weaving in and out of lanes on the 91 freeway, including the carpool lane when it was clear that he/she didn’t have anyone else in the car with them. A couple of vehicles had to break so as not to get hit by this bonehead. I would have tried to catch up to personally deliver my feelings on the matter, but chose not to lower myself to their level. The next time, I hope a Motorcycle Cop catches this vigilante in the act.

Flag : Avoid, Dangerous A-hole

The guy pulls up to me at a red light, in the right hand lane, as if to take a right turn, and guns it to go straight at the green light. He cut over violently - and at the last second - to avoid running into a parked car on a stretch of road marked 30 MPH. He must have been doing 80, no exaggeration. I honked at him once I saw him as I pulled up next to him at the next light. Young black guy, maybe in his mid-20's. Amazing he hasn't hurt anyone yet. Keep your distance, this guy has no business having a license. The plate is a BLACK California Heritage Plate with yellow text, which is a special order. Sorry but Platewire doesn't give me the option of adding it.

Hazard : likes to hit and run

Getting ready to transition from I-405 north to CA 118 east, 11:20am 7/6/2017, CA 7PVR203 elects to move a lane to the right without looking or maybe looked and just didn't care. If I hadn't braked in the nick of time, it could have been curtains for us and our Prius, an overpriced imported fender, perhaps, for encroaching hulk. Does your insurance company indemnify this vehicle? Bad risk, big mistake! When -- not if -- the inevitable happens and he smashes into a car or two, I'm retired and it would make my day to come testify in court about MY experience with this driver. No mileage charge for my lesser automobile.

About 2:40pm June 24 I'm eastbound on Jefferson in moderate congestion, waiting my turn to get into the left turn lane to go north on La Cienega. Meanwhile, black Tahoe SUV CA 6BXH109 is barreling down the median with the same thing in mind, but he's way too important to get in line, wait his turn and enter the lane at the designated place. Does your company insure this pendejo? That could be a big mistake!

Flag : Rude and rushed!

Bald headed male in the above vehicle driving erratically weaving back and forth in his lane pointing his hand out the window at drivers coming from other direction and passing him with his hand shaped like a handgun. Simulated shots at other drivers by recoiling his hand. VERY odd behavior.

Hazard : Possible DUI

Culver at Jefferson goes from one to two lanes. I'm first in line. When light changes I head for left lane for eventual left turn. But wait, that interferes with R&R's plans to go 20 over the limit, so he floors it and passes when I'm already 3/4 of the way into the left lane and heads off at high rate of speed.

Flag : Rude and Reckless

View Details
At a 4-way stop, this driver did not wait his turn and followed the vehicle ahead of him through the intersection, blowing off other drivers waiting at the intersection.

Flag : Wait Your Turn

View Details
Delivery driver hit a tree when parking his truck; apparently he was delivering for Best Buy, but he refused to provide any contact information for himself or his company. Incident required calling San Jose Police. Does Best Buy find this kind of behavior from its drivers acceptable?

Hazard : HIt-and-run truck

The guy is a maniac - drives erratically, slams on brakes and turns while not showing signals. Starts yelling - gets out of the car with lots of profanities. Stay away!

Just need to pass one more car!

 Vasco road near Livermore CA. As I'm driving down this 2 lane road I see this silver Honda Accord 6XNL942 coming up behind me, passing cars  at a high rate of speed. The 2 lane road was merging into one by the time he got to me. As he was maneuvering to pass me anyway he decided at the last second not to attempt the move. Also note that there were several cars in front of me that would of held him back even if he had passed me. But wait, there's mor

Noisy custom muffler

Grey Honda Civic 6HNK647 has a horribly noisy non-OEM muffler.  My ears were assaulted every time a traffic light turned green on Washington Blvd.  For some reason, these offenses aren't being cited and prosecuted often enough.
