  • At approximately 5:25pm on February 26th coming off the Route 7 connector in Norwalk (Grist Mill), the driver of this vehicle, in the RIGHT turn only lane, decided instead to go LEFT. Never mind that my car was in that lane. She brazenly just turned and cut into my lane. I hit my horn but she didn't even look. She didn't care. She then made a right turn (why bother signalling either!) and proceeded to do 40mph in a 25-30mph zone. She's an accident waiting to happen and you know it's going to be the other person who gets damaged. I hope whatever insurance company insures her checks this site to see how badly she drives and jacks up her rates.

  • Happened tonight on I91 in CT. The road was dangerous because lanes had not been fully cleared from the blizzard yet, and lanes unexpectedly cut out without warning. This guy was on my tail within inches, which wouldn't have allowed safe stopping distance -- in any condition, but especially dangerous tonight.

  • Would appear this driver never learned how 4 way stop signs work, what stop actually means, or perhaps he doesn't know his left from his right. Even though he supports the CT Firefighters or might even be one himself, unless he's on his way to battle a fire or other emergency he has to obey the traffic rules just like the rest of us on our way to work.

  • First, He honks at us for stopping at a red light. then he proceeds to tailgate and drive aggressively. finally, he attempts to pass in a no passing zone into incoming traffic and has to lock up the brakes to avioid a head on collision. jeopardising peoples propery and lives, just so you can get to shop-rite. perhaps if you are going to be such a jerk behind the wheel you should get a faster car....

  • This is a very dangerous driver - tailgating, no regard for joggers or people walking on the side of neighborhood streets, definitely not going the 25 mph posted speed limit and complete disregard for stop signs. Windows of the car were tinted so could not tell if the driver was also on the phone (would not be surprised).

  • Distracted (texting) driver, passing on the right, driving down two lanes, almost smashed into my car, ignored warning at Arrigoni Bridge stoplight to put the phone down, reported to State Police. Total jerk.

  • This lady refuses to pay the parking garage after loosing her ticket. She parks her car in the exit lane for hours and refuses to cooperate. Meanwhile, many many people are just stuck waiting behind her, until they open up another toll lane. This lady has no decency to her fellow human beings and is selfish and inconsiderate.

  • You were in the right-turn only lane coming off the Rt 7 connector, but without signalling, just cut into the left lane (incidentally, the lane I was in) and just drove off like nothing occurred. That was an illegal turn, lady, and I don't believe you can plead you're an out-of-towner because you proceeded to drive fast until you turned onto Bob White Lane.

  • At approximately 5:05 p.m. on February 29th, I was driving up onto I95 North. It was twilight, it waws dark and it was raining, hence, people should drive at less than the average speed. I was in the proper lane, then YOU came tearing up on the right side in the BREAKDOWN lane and passed me, then sped down the lane until you had to hit the brakes unless you rammed the car ahead of you. I hit my horn because I was annoyed and then you gave me the finger. So, besides illegal pass on the right, speeding, you're also a rude SOB. I can only hope that when you cause an accident (and one day, you will) that the authorities come here and look up your plate! The plate is also the new 'old' gold-orange version of the NY plate; could not find the exact photo here on Platewire. Whatever insurance company covers this guy should raise his rates.

  • This wonderful, thoughtful driver took up TWO parking spaces by parking the vehicle DIAGONALLY in the parking lot of 720 Hopmeadow Street in Simsbury, CT. The driver probably did not want any other vehicle to contaminate their vehicle. Too bad that the driver not only took up two spaces when parking the buggy, but also prevented any other driver from using the adjacent apace because that would have blocked the thoughtful driver's car in. The two spaces used by the genius are the closest spaces to the medical office building. May the bluebird of happiness fly up the driver's nose.

  • I started crossing the lane in the parking lot while this truck was parking. He started driving, then veered into me. The guy was actually aiming for me. I had to run to avoid being hit -- by inches. I really thought the tire was going to run me right over. He went and parked and waved at me. Meanwhile, I was scared out of my mind. WTF?
