When he exited at Laguna Blvd in Elk Grove, he turned from the far right-hand right turn lane and ended up in the far left-hand lane on Laguna (turned from the wrong lane because he's an impatient ass).

I have never seen ANYONE as reckless as this guy.  Traffic is moving at freeway speeds, and this guy abruptly and suddenly cuts across two lanes of traffic (nearly taking off my front bumper and running innocent motorists off the road) to get around a couple of other cars, then cuts back.  He continues his recklessness and gets off at J Street.  I exit the freeway too, and follow him down J Street, where he continues to speed and weave dangerously through morning rush hour traffic.  Driver was a black male.

    Texting While Driving in the Dark   Wednesday, January 27, 2010

    CA license plate 6JIJ874 was observed driving northbound on Highway 113 between Davis and Woodland in the PASSING lane with the interior light on; ping ponging in the lane (slowly weaving to the left until they hit the lane markers, then weaves to the right until hitting the lane markers and so it goes); driving slower than the surrounding traffic (65 mph limit, but this is CA so people drive 5-10 mph faster). Presumably texting while driving AT NIGHT. January 27, 2010 at 6:05 pm. Navy Chevrolet, probably a 2009 Malibu; registration less than a year old. This went on for about 4-5 miles.

      To the ex "Cort Furniture Rental" truck driver (shoddy paint job, we can see that the truck used to be Cort Rental) JUST A FRIENDLY NOTE to advise you that during an ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY you are supposed to allow for merging. The Black Lexus on your right was NOT cutting, but attempting to merge. Your very rude honking and disallowance of the merge will come back around. Your negative Karma will be your demise but on a sidenote, NICE HOLIDAY SPIRIT JACKASS. There were 3 cops on the side of the road, one would expect a little teamwork. Thanks very much to the sedan behind you, and I, as well, gave in so that others could merge near Stadium Bl. I hope you get what you deserve, based on your negativity. HAPPY FUCKING HOLIDAYS, JERKOFF!!!

    crazy lady   Tuesday, December 15, 2009

      yesterday there was an older woman in a black SUV who took a pic of my license plate, which led me to search online for a site she may post it on. Anyway, I am a very safe driver, and I had my baby in the car yesterday. This woman had been weaving in and out of traffic for a few blocks. She wound up tailgating me as I drove up to a turn lane. A man in a small sports car next to me started making a lane change into my lane, and I had to brake to avoid hitting him. The tailgater behind me must not have seen the other car because she started honking and yelling out her window as if I did this to annoy her. Then she took out her phone and took a pic of my car... Okay, so to avoid having my plate recorded and my reputation ruined I have to take a hit on my passenger side (where my toddler is sitting)from some jerk who really isn't paying attention. I'm starting to believe that there are people in Orange County, CA that are trying to create a situation in order to have something to complain about.

    Merging without looking!   Saturday, December 12, 2009

     I live near Los Angeles, CA and drive into the San Fernando Valley every weekend for work.  I was driving last Saturday (12/05/09) on the 101 south through Tarzana and I was in the fast lane when the car on my right (2007-09? black Toyota Avalon XL with the license 6HFM869) starts to merge into my lane where I was driving. To avoid him sideswiping me and getting into an accident I honked my shitty horn and he swerved erratically then speed off in front of me.  I didn't get a great look at him but from what I did, he was a black male, bald..possibly late 20's-30's.  Maybe it was a bad day for him or something but I'm kinda a young driver and it was scary to be almost squished between another car and the center divider.  So...I suggest to be cautious around this car, he may not pay attention one day driving next to you and do the same!

    Is CA DMV having problems?   Saturday, December 12, 2009

     I work for a California company that has three company vehicles. Though we haven't moved or changed ownership, we haven't gotten the routine DMV 2010 renewal notice on two of them. In the past, CA DMV has been at least two-to-three months early. We have to initiate the calls. I wonder what's going on. The plates on the car I drive will expire in two weeks.

    2006-08 Honda Civic Blk

    license "HONEY21" with heart for the "O".

    Going west on I-8 at 805, cut across 4 lanes to get to #1.  Blk civic tried to run me off the road to get into #1 lane, forced me into left emergency lane to avoid collision. 

    Gave me "the bird"...of course...as most guilty, aggressive drivers do.

    Beware of "HONEY21"...crazy bee-ahtch.

    100mph on winding road   Sunday, November 29, 2009

     Cal sticker on the back of the silver acura, guessing this was a kid. Passed my car on the right on the corner of Day and Foothill in Ventura, CA.
    This road is very, very curvy....driver in front of me was going 35mph.
    I got the license because there was a stop light that they did manage to obey.

    They see you coming   Saturday, October 24, 2009

    They see you coming and they still pull out onto the road directly right in front of you. You are closing in on them at 35mph and they are turning right at 1mph. What is the logic or reasoning for this? Happens here habitually almost on a daily basis. Blind, Oblivious, Just Don't Care?

    YOU DECIDE!

    P.S. Or am I just Sh!t Out of Luck?

    How many times can you be in the WRONG LANE?   Thursday, October 15, 2009

    Another epidemic out here besides the 'not pulling up to the limit line correctly and jockeying for last second position at a light' is 'being in the wrong lane & forcing a lane change last second'.

    I cannot fathom what these people are doing. Do they have to be that opportunistic to get ahead only to be in the WRONG lane and have to jump back over at the last second...when someone is coming?!? It never fails. I expect it...and it happens. Were they planning to go straight, then decided last second they wanted to go to McDonald's? 10/10 times? Ridiculous clowns with no depth perception for changing lanes with an oncoming car in the lane. You couldn't wait until after I have passed? There's nobody behind me? Oh wait, shortsightedness, greedy opportunistic Burger King mentality here. Your way, right away.

    This also happens when an idiot tailgater is pulling their zombie act behind you. Later down the street, they have to change lanes any way to make a turn off the street. What was the point for following so closely??

    Stay in your correct lane ahead of time, plan ahead, demonstrate some patience.

    CA 4NJC710: Fool on 15th St   Wednesday, October 14, 2009

    I'm driving the second of three cars (I occasionally borrow a car from a friend to do errands) waiting at a stoplight on a two-way street. Beginning on the next block, the street becomes one way in the direction we are headed. While the light is still red, guy behind me in a silver Mercedes Kompressor, California license 4NJC710, pulls alongside me, as if we're already on the one-way section of the street. But he's not pulling up to the stop line; he's just sitting there next to me. I gesture to him that the street is still two-way here, and he is in dangerous territory. He starts yelling at me (although I can't hear him through his soundproof windows) and he flips me off. Then he cuts partway in front of me, sort of between the two lanes, so I can't move. The light changes to green, the car in front pulls away, and he just sits there for the entire cycle while I'm waving at him and honking and yelling "What are you doing?" He sits there, flipping me off some more in his rear-view mirror, then eventually, after the light changes back to red, he turns right, from the middle of the two lanes. WTF was he trying to accomplish? This is why I rarely drive anymore. I can't stand these idiots!

    Who does this??   Sunday, October 04, 2009

    Extreme tailgater. Lady in a minivan. Traveling down a 40mph street, 2 lanes. Where you gonna go lady? She's tailgating me severely. We're in the right lane. About 3 blocks later, she finally changes lanes, but guess what? She needed to make a left at the light up ahead. So she tailgated me /out of spite/delusional crack head/zombie tailgater, all that way for nothing. I often notice this around here. I don't see this else where.

    Once again, people playing last second light pole position. Always jockeying for position to get nowhere faster.

    Signals. These people no longer bother. Why should they? They can just talk on their cell phones all day when they see no cop around. Why bother signaling intent? Just make the poor loser behind GUESS. So hit the brakes for no reason, don't pull to the right and just swing that wide right turn.

    Aggressive macho bald shaved head thugs. It's bad enough they don't know how to drive properly, but when they make a mistake, it's your fault and they taunt you for it. What kind of half-baked ass-backwards thinking goes on in this valley?

    She wanted me to run over a Pedestrian   Tuesday, September 29, 2009

     Leaving the Macy's garage yesterday and as I was waiting to let an older couple walk past my car this black Pontiac Cruiser started wailing and honking.  Meanwhile more  people crossed my path so I had to wait.  What did that stupid blonde woman behind me want me to do?  Run over people so she can inch up to the ticket box?  She yelled, I yelled back.  I moved on.  And then she followed me for 2 miles, threatening to reared me by following close behind.  Then weaving through out the three lanes and passing me.  She calmed down when I moved behind a police car.  She was certainly a crazy woman.  I have a picture of her and her car.  Where is the website for us to legally put their pictures on line?
