This brain surgeon speeds in the right lane on highways, will not move over or slow down to let merging traffic in, then, on surface streets, weaves in and out of traffic to be as close as possible to first in line.

12:20 PM on Interstate 80 East- driver of this truck followed me too closely. Finally passed me on the right and cut back in to follow another vehicle far too closely! Couldn't tell the make of the truck but was a tow truck and I think it might have said Crilers on its side.

Jackass speeds up and cuts me off on an exit ramp and then proceeds to brake check me 4 times. Goes 100 mph just so I can't get past him then doesn't even have the balls to look at me when I'm passing him. All I did was signal to change lanes, I guess that extra 20 feet was a make or break deal for him.

I was travelling in the right lane of the Garden State Parkway going north when a white Nissan NV200 cargo van (the really small mini van - NJ Y70-EXN) was passing me on the left, went into my lane and almost side-swiped me missing me by inches. He corrected himself and got back into his lane. There was no curve, just straight road. I have dash cams mounted in the front and rear of my car which is why I was able to get his plate #. It was too close for comfort. If he had hit me, I have the video evidence for the police and my insurance company. **Message to all responsible drives....please install dash cams...they are not that expensive and will provide proof of who is at fault in an accident for both the police and your insurance company**.

As I was exiting the Garden State Parkway (Exit 137 - Cranford), a Grey Volkswagen Passat (NJ A47CEJ) came up behind me very fast, then passed me on the left, cut in front of me to exit...probably 80-90 MPH. He only got so far as the traffic light at North Ave and Elizabeth Ave just enough time so I could get his plate#. He then made a right turn on Elizabeth Ave. Cranford Police - run this plate # and keep an eye on him.

I was in my EZ-Pass lane when a woman in a green Metallic Volvo XC90 (and a butterfly sticker on the back hatch) crossed over multiple lanes of traffic and missed me by inches to get to a cash only lane forcing me to stop short - obviously not paying attention to what lane she needed to be in. She then cut off a car in the cash only lane causing that car to stop short too. I kept honking my horn but then she gave me a dirty look and waving her arms as if she was saying "Yeah...yeah..yeah...shut up...I can do whatever I want". Be cautious with this driver if you come across her - looked like there may have been kids in the back seat too.

We returned to our vehicle after an event at Rutgers on 1/26/14 only to find this jackass parked right up next to us. He was parked so close we couldn't open the driver side door. We had to climb in over the console from the passenger seat. Thanks @sshole! http://youparklikeanidiot.net/photos/details.php?image_id=70

***PARENTS...TAKE AWAY THE KEYS!!!!*** While driving on Gallows Hill Road towards East Broad, this silver Hyundai Genesis Coupe came up behind me, then passed a high rate of speed. This is a 25 Mph zone with a lot of small children in the area. This road was just paved and the lines have not been put down yet, but it was originally a double yellow line, single lane. There were three kids in the car having fun. Car cam caught all the action.... http://youtu.be/MlLwK5-IEfw

Did you (NJ UBY-47D)have to park practically on top of my driverside of my car in the foodtown lot tonight? There we're vacant spots all over, and just because I was near the edge of the spot you didn't have to park 10 inches from me making it nrealy impossible to get in my car.

Jennifer Leibowitz as its saids on the police report hit my dad's car on the left fender and said that it isn't her fault. We were at a red light and there were two fire trucks behind us blasting their sirens to move out of the way. We drove forward and Leibowitz hit us. She claims she had the right of way and that the fire trucks were far away. She was an egoistical person ranting on about how much her mini cooper costs and people were on her side. She got away with murder because I was sittin
