  • Traveling on 896 towards Boyd's corner this guy comes barreling down cedar lane road which has a stop sign and turns right - directly in front of the driver in front of me. We are on a divided two lane highway and its not a merge area like this guy might think. He nearly caused a huge accident. He never even looked when he turned. Go back to drivers Ed.

  • While attempting to exit Christiana Hospital at Churchmans Road towards I-95, the vehicle behind me exiting Christiana Hospital overtakes me without regard to my merge, preventing me from merging until their vehicle passes. The driver then fails to activate turn signals twice when changing lanes before exiting my field of vision. The tag was actually adorned with MD Wrestling. There was also an image of the U.S. on the upper left of the plate

  • Observed driver approaches stop sign on Carr Rd. at I-95 exit ramp. Seeing that he can get through intersection before me (there is no stop sign on ramp) if he does not apply brakes, he does not apply brakes and continues through stop at, oh, about 30 mph. We both wait, side by side, at the red light one block past the previously mentioned intersection.

  • While using cruise control, I witness the slowly overtaking vehicle's driver using a cell phone. What alarms me is that as she is passing me, sans turn indicator, she is moving into my lane. This technique is often used in situations where the speed differential is large. Our speed differential was tiny. I stabbed the brakes and noted her tags.

  • Oh, sorry, I didn't notice the half mile long single lane of traffic that I'm not using my turn signal to cut into at the very front. I've watched this model of society do this two days in a row. It's a good thing I'm not a police officer or I'd probably end up shooting a fool as this, or at least one of his tires.

  • Green SUV tried to fit a 16 foot vehicle in to an 6 foot space - at 40 mph. Almost killed me and my family. Would have been at least a 5 car pileup, maybe 10. On I-95 heading north right before the Delaware Memorial Bridge on 8/15/08 at around 4:30pm. Wreckless. Deadly. I got lucky and was able to avoid contact with his vehicle or any other. It's only a matter of time before he kills someone. It was far and away the most wreckless, dangerous, hostile and outrageously aggressive move I have ever seen. I am not sure about the make/model of the truck, I just know that it was a lighter colored green mid-size SUV and I think the plate was NY, but it could have been NJ or DE.

  • Traveling north on Rt 13 this rider decided 60+ in a 55 wasn't fast enough. Not wanting to deal with traffic, this idiot accelerated BETWEEN the moving traffic. (Wouldn't feel bad if he incurred injuries but his passenger doesn't deserve any pain for his actions.) Just another example of a bad biker making the rest of motorcyclists look bad!

  • Around 11:30pm in a small town this idiot was tailgating me for roughly 2 miles, I was going 30MPH in a 25MPH and hes honking his horn at me. The previous two miles were a passing zone and a wide road but he waits right until we get into town were it is no passing, tight narrow lanes and passes me and acclerates to approximately 45MPH.

  • This dude runs the red light at Anna Way and Capitol Trail almost every day- at about 7:00-7:15 a.m. he pulls out from Anna Way on to Capitol Trail before his light is green- he thinks he is above the law. Cant wait for a Newark cop to pull him over. I am leaving the area about the same time and have witnessed this more than a few times.

    Ill-advised Right turn   Wednesday, July 18, 2012

    This title is probably a huge understatement. This U-Haul truck turned right in front of the driver that was right in front of me. This was a divided 2-lane highway and the offending driver had a stop sign that he did not stop for. I was close enough to see him and could tell that he didn't even look before turning - he didn't even slow down, like he was intentionally trying to "merge" where there was no merge area - assuming others would get out of the way.

    Tailgating....Just Why?   Friday, January 29, 2010

     This human being decided that they were way to much in a rush to get somewhere at 2am in Newark, DE to PA on 896. So, while I was going 35 mph, the speed limit, while passing the Christiana towers, this person started tailgating me. Then, as I passed the shopping center on my left, they passed my over a double white line, and almost clipped my front bumper. Little did they know how stupid it would be to pull in front of me, so I snagged their license plate.

    Ignort Bitch   Tuesday, August 28, 2007

    Common Courtesy   Monday, December 18, 2006

    What ever happened to common courtesy? Forget about knowing all the intricacies of being a great driver in all types of situations..how about just having some basic consideration for the other people around you whether it is while driving or doing any other activity where other people are nearby. How about shutting up or even lowering your voice while in the bank, mall, or post office while on your cell phone!! People used to say, "Where were you raised, in a barn?", when you left the door open, but now, that would be a welcome fault compared to the tailgating, reckless driving, excessive speeding in heavy traffic and dangerous weather conditions, and the endless blabbering on the cell phone everywhere you go, as if every word you utter is so important that you can't pull over, or god forbid..WAIT 2 minutes!!, or just SHUT UP for a change! Isn't life hard enough without adding to an already growing dangerous traffic situation on every road in america? Try taking some time to be nice to someone for a change whether it is on the road or in general.. You will find that you will live longer, and be happier and healthier while doing so.
