  • I was waiting at a light and when mine turned green, this truck kept coming and ran the red light...she seemed to be oblivious to the fact that she almost hit me.  Thankfully, *I* was paying attention!

  • 4 twenty somethings crammed into Corolla liftback pulled out into traffic, swerved into left lane, returned to right.  I honked at them to make sure they stayed in right since my speed was greater than theirs and they seemed to want to occupy both lanes.  Needless to say... as I slowed for a light, they excelled and swerved in front of me to stop.  I pulled into next lane. 
When light changed, I was ahead of them, they did it again, because I was ahead of them.  so... I took a photo of their vehicle and them.

Occurred approx. 7:25 AZ time 8/25.

  • Was driving down Ray Rd with my niece (6) and this @$$ crossed the median from the opposite direction and almost hit me head on.  He then swerved back into the median and was laughing at me, apparently he was showing off to his buddies.  Interestingly enough he had 3 abandoned vehicle stickers on his windows.

  • He decided to pull out in front of multiple cars in a 40 MPH zone almost causing a serious accident. But when I swerved to avoid rear ending him in his bad judgment he became angry and followed me down the street, into the parking lot, and even into the store yelling.  It seemed like he had some type of mental issue... but regardless, a very dangerous driver considering his poor judgment and anger.

  • People wait in a long line on the 101, waiting to get onto the ramp to the 202.  There's always a few people who realize at the last moment that their lane isn't headed in the right direction and that they need to be over one lane. That's annoying, but completely forgivable. Then there are those people who can't be bothered to wait in line. That was this driver's issue. I was practically onto the ramp to 202 from the 101 when he cuts me off. He actually cut across the gore point to do it. We're not moving fast (we're practically not moving at all), so as I was creeping forward, he cuts in. I verbalize my displeasure to myself as I always do. I guess he saw me and can read lips because he made a hand gesture. I returned the favor. He did the same and so on. A few minutes later, after we'd run out of clever hand signals, he held up his iPhone and snapped a picture of me.

  • Why is it that the lower the I.Q., the bigger the vehicle? Hey, bonehead, screaming down Chandler Blvd at 65+ mph is NEVER a safe thing to do. Nobody cares if you want to take your own life, but doing that on a public street means you're going to take some innocent decent person (or people) with you. Stop overcompensating and grow up!

  • You are a wretched driver. You nearly took off my mirrors changing lanes without looking and then proceeding to take up 2 lanes while following the curves along the 202 construction areas heading westbound yesterday morning. Your handicap must be an inability to drive. Awful woman. Put down the frappucino and stay in your bloody lane!

  • This jerk forced me on to the freeway (101) on-ramp and then flipped me off.  Is the goal to outright kill as many people as possible?  What is the deal with people like this?

  • This bonehead (hispanic male, late 20s early 30s) imagines some offense I have done (looking at a pedestrian?  Driving too slowly -- well, putting safe distance between me and the car in front of me?) decides he'll drive up along side me look over at me in a (hehe) MENACING way, then pull aggressively in front of me, then slow down.  I noticed tough guy then made a right turn from the left lane at the green light ahead to try to "shake" me, although I was turning left anyway.  Real chicken poo, bozo.

Were you trying to impress your girlfriend who was beside you?  If THAT is what you have to resort to, you really need to upgrade your character.  Perhaps she likes the "jerk" kind of guy, but perhaps you can show her a fellow with a bit more class, patience, and maybe even forgiveness (for what, I'll never know).

  • Driver first cut me off as I attempted to lane change to the right to exit US60 at Alma School Rd heading eastbound.  Driver passed me on the right at excessive speed (~75mph), entering my lane as I had already began merging.   Driver then accelerated and exited the right hand lane and proceeded to pass several cars before cutting across the neutral zone at the exit ramp.  I recorded license number while behind the driver as he waited at the light to make a left onto Alma School Rd.

Driver then proceeded to squeeze between the vehicles in the right hand lane so that he could bypass the red light by taking a right onto Holmes Ave.  I later ran across the driver again as he turned right onto Southern Ave from Westwood, failing stop while executing a 'turn on red' at over 35mph.  Driver then turned northbound on Extension Rd and proceeded to drive 45-50mph through a marked 35mph school zone.

  • This "small" smoking man must have a small p_nis too.  He has no regard for lanes, turn signals and other drivers.  Fortunately there are those of us that are courteous, defensive drivers that are watching for careless idiots such as him.  He proceed across five lanes of traffic in less than 200 feet without a single signal and then had the audacity to "solute" all of us that had to slam on brakes or swerve out of his way.

    Ran Red Light!   Tuesday, August 31, 2010

    Tucson drivers are the WORST when it comes to running red lights! This driver almost hit someone when she ran a red light today...plate # AFN9118

     This guy is ridiculous and I've never seen anything like it.  I have now seen him twice go into the center lane westbound on Baseline to pass a car.  I then came up to the light at Baseline and 7th Street and didn't see his car waiting for the light.  Ends up he went into the right hand turn lane, but then just cut in front of the car waiting for the light and took off from there.

    The first time I thought maybe he was incredibly late or an emergency.  Now seeing it twice, it's just extreme arrogance.  He gets up to at least 80 MPH and needs to be stopped before he goes head on into someone getting into the center turn lane.

    Wait like everyone else Tucson drivers...   Wednesday, November 04, 2009

    OK...I've had enough!  When I drive home from work each day I take Golf Links or Valencia home to the SE side.  I have news for you stupid drivers out there...and you know who you are...the right hand lane heading eastbound on Valencia at Kolb is NOT your private passing lane!  Also, the right lane that merges in with Golf Links from the Aviation Parkway and goes to the Base is NOT your private passing lane!  Everyday countless people go tearing down those lanes expecting to gain a few spots in traffic.  What I don't get is why let them in?  I figure I have no expectation to let them in since both areas are signed just fine letting drivers know what that lane is for.  I don't let them in and I wish others would follow.  Make them wait like everyone else!  Although I do get a good laugh when someone ducks out, tries to pass, and then can't get back in and ends up further back than they would have otherwise.

    361-YDL   Saturday, July 18, 2009

    Watch out for this driver! He drives with his ego and emotions. He gets upset whenever anyone merges in front of him or tries to pass him. He will even swerve lanes as you try to pass him to avoid cars getting in front of him. He is very obnoxious and really thinks he owns the whole road. Licenses 361-YDL AZ. It's a black truck with really tinted windows. He will risk causing an accident to get his way.

    Trying to kill me   Wednesday, January 21, 2009

     962 WYL, thanks for cutting me off this morning and causing my lunch to fly to the floor, bruising my apple and spilling my water. Maybe when you have little kids in the car, you should have them wear seat belts so when you blindly slide around a corner and into oncoming traffing they dont bounce around so much. Just in case you were wondering, I was not following you after you cut me off, I work by your house, so there was no reason to keep checking the rear view, your not that important, you just suck at driving.

    PS. hang up your phone and use your blinkers, we cant all be as inconciderate and omniscient as you.

    Residential scary driver   Tuesday, December 30, 2008

    Watch out for a guy driving an older white truck, could be a Dodge or Chevy, empty pickup bed. He was driving about 40-45 in a residential area with posted 25 MPH (also where children catch the school bus) drove right up to my bumper and sped around at this high speed into the no-passing lane next to me. It was done carelessly and without regard for safety of anyone, myself, and people in the area. He sped off and I recorded his license plate: acd1942

    Irresponsible!   Friday, November 21, 2008

    Since when has it become illegal to stop at a red light before making a right turn? According to this lady, that is the wrong thing to do! Must go, go, go! Then once the turn is made she "punishes" your behavior by driving half-way into your lane. Nice.

    Grow up, lady.

    Watch out for this trucker!   Thursday, November 20, 2008

     My husband was run off the road by this careless truck driver; my husband was in an escort and noticed when he merged onto the I-40 in Flagstaff that two truck drivers were messing around on the interstate just behind him. Before he had time to react, one past in front of him and merged into him; he had to swerve off the road not to be hit!! The truck company is Delierous J Trucking (go figure), truck #2, license # 4JK5325

    I'm important   Tuesday, September 16, 2008

    I've been passed on Elliot Rd between Kyrene and the 101 every morning. This women needs to leave the house earlier in the morning and also do her makeup at home not in the car. The lights are timed for the 45 mph speed limit but this lady drather go 55 and wait at every light. When on the ramp to get on N101 she has to pass people on the right, then when she gets on the 101 weaves in and out then goes right into the fastlane. Looken at herself in the mirror and doing makeup the whole time. Hopefully she has a single car accident when it happens. She is driving a New Blue Honda Civic lcense plate 463-CEL.

    Wow This man should be fired   Tuesday, August 19, 2008

     Ok, so I am in the left turn lane on a smaller, narrow side street off of Indian School and 33rd ave. I am stopped at a redlight. Hickmans egg truck driver comes to  make a right turn off of Indian School. Instead of waiting, going straight or seeing he is not a good enough driver to clear this turn, he starts to turn and comes face to face with me in my small little accent. ( Brand new) Ahhhhhhhh! Heart attack of the day to see a 2 ton truck amost hit me straight on at 5am. (Talk about better than a cup of coffee to wake up to)  Hello idiot. The guy did not even come close to clearing the turn. I know trucks make wide turns, but come on. Safety and common sense first please. Plus I did not do anything wrong.  I have seen many trucks either make that turn or pass it up for a better shot at 27th ave and backtracking because that street is so narrow and dangerous.  Then this guy has the nerve to keep trying and I am now boxed in and can't go anywhere. Light turns green for me I so try to get around him but he keeps moving in front of me again. When I finally get around him he honks at me( illegal)  and calls me some nice choice curse words. ( defamation of character)meanwhile I am sitting there minding my own business and am amazed with my jaw to the floor! Of course the company name is right there on the truck so I am amazed the guy would make his company look so bad. Very shocking and upsetting!
    I called it in and have not received a call back yet but am considering legal action if they do not fire his ass!
    ( Or at least some good training of Az traffic laws and courtesy)

    Spoiled teenager who can't follow basic traffic rules   Tuesday, May 27, 2008

    I watched this kid drive recklessly on Scottsdale's 101 between Shea and Mcdonald Dr.  First the kid was texting on his phone while driving at highway speeds in midday Sunday traffic.  Then he started weaving through traffic at high speeds trying to get a couple car lengths ahead.  Eventually he actually pasted me going an estimated 85mph on the right shoulder.  That is right, he passed me on the shoulder of the freeway.  Of course through the weaving he didn't see the need use turn signals.  I was only able to get his plate number because he slowed down to exit.  Beware of this kid because if he doesn't settle down he will kill somebody soon.
