  • White Ford pickup southbound on South River in front of the high school flies around another car that is driving 30 in a 30. The pickup passed about 3 cars wide in a no-passing 2 lane with a median and made no signal regardless. Pickup also had a pitt state decal on the back. Go back to kansas if you're going to drive like that!

  • This fool (appeared to be 20-something male) driving well above the speed limit (posted 70 mph) in heavy friday evening drive-home traffic on a divided 4 lane highway cutting in and out of traffic cut in front of me just as the cars ahead began to slow down rapidly.  You couldn't have slipped a golf ball between our bumpers.  If his brain was dynamite, he couldn't blow out a match.  I offer him free neutering anytime and anyplace.

  • This incident happened around 7:45 this morning.  This guy was stopped by slow traffic ahead of him and wanted to move into left lane where I was.  He late that there was not enough room for him to move into left lane and moved back into his lane but then, honked loudly at me for no reason.  He came behind me and then, moved back into the right lane with one foot on the gas and the other on the brake.  If some of these idiots learn to drive, our nation's gas bill will come down for sure.

  • This arrogant dipstick cut off a car behind me, swerved over 2 lanes in order to enter the post office parking lot.  He (could be "she"...hard to tell) then proceeded to PASS ME IN THE PARKING LOT to pull up on the wheel chair ramp in front of the post office so he/she/it could exit the car to take mail inside the building.  Whatever the driver's gender may be, I offer my services to surgically sterilize them with or without anesthetic any time and any place.

  • This self-important idiot was in the right lane and decided to move into the left lane close to I-270 and Page Extension on Page eastbound.  I do not think he checked for oncoming traffic because he was busy conducting a meeting on his cell phone.  I had to slam on my brakes and barely missed him by a hair.  I went one lane over to the left and went past him.  For the next mile or so while he followed me, he did not get off his phone.  Why don't they ban cell phones in Missouri?  Also, Maryland Heights police seem to be on the lookout for fast drivers all the time as I see a lot of patrol cars.  Can they also look for these people with cell phones stitched to their ears (not hands free) who may cause even bigger accidents.

BTW, this incident happened at 8am this morning.  I could not tell the car's make or model as it had no make on the front grille.  But I was able to note down his plate on the traffic stop light.

  • Driving way in excess of the posted speed limit on a city street, passing me on the right in a right-turn only lane and then pulling in front of me without a turn-signal while nearly catching my front fender.  You have a seriously flawed opinion of your importance and driving skills.

  • I want to apologize for nearly t-boning you today.  I know you never saw me while you ran a red-light and pulled in front of me while talking on your phone.  I guess I didn't know that traffic rules didn't apply to you.  I'll know better next time and just not hit the brakes.

  • This twit made a left turn out of the center straight-only lane directly in front of me and nearly got her sorry ass t-boned.  I honked, she flashed her "IQ" and proceeded down the street ahead of me at something waaay more than the 40mph posted limit.  A pathetically misplaced sense of entitlement is a cross she bears.

  • The speed limit along Hwy 54 here is 70 mph.  This reckless jerk had to have been traveling 90+.  He roars up behind me with less than 1/2 car length between us and flashes his lights.  Where the hell was I supposed to go, buddy?  There were cars in front of me, cars beside me and YOU were clearly behind me too close for me to slow down and move over.  I post this here in lieu of putting your "Cohiba" where the sun don't shine!

    She ain't so LDY-LYK in Fulton, MO   Tuesday, August 25, 2009

     This crazy woman has passed my carpool partner and I numerous times now on our way into work in Fulton. We tend to drive at or slightly above the limit, but she passes up anyway. If you haven't figured it out, her license plate is LDY-LYK... if she's gonna drive like that, she oughta have a regular plate rather than one so frakking recognizable!

    MO Plate 771   Monday, May 04, 2009

     Missouri plate 771 just couldn't wait.

    I was stopped at a stop light. This light has two lanes each direction, with the right lane ending about 2-3 car lengths after the light. Thus, I was stopped in the left lane.

    While the light was red, I saw a vehicle (grey/green mix - large suburban-type) approaching. The light turned green when they were about 4 car lengths behind me.

    This bozo decided that he would pass me on the right, in the lane that was ending. I honked at him as he passed, since it forced me to slow down to "let him in".

     April 29, 9:40 pm, eastbound I-44, MO plate 122 YKP, young woman drifting over three inside lanes, texting while driving. I flashed headlights, honked horn, and reported to highway patrol.
    In the course of punching in highway patrol number, did exactly the same thing as this idiotic young woman.

    I remember the flood of 1993. I don't think it was that bad, but then again, I was only 8 years old. Anyone else from this area have and 1993 flood pictures? I would like to compare the two.

    Assaulted by driver   Sunday, July 15, 2007

    On Friday, 7/13/07, in the parking lot of Dierbergs in St. Charles, the driver of a white suburban with Missouri Dealer tag "1717" flew up behind me and nearly rearended my car.  Once I turned into the main drive and was stopped at the STOP sign, she got out and ran up to my car door and banged on my window.  Thankfully, there was no traffic coming and I was able to get away before she continued her assault.  BE CAREFUL OF THIS WOMAN!

    What is wrong with Columbia drivers?   Thursday, July 12, 2007

     Columbia's driving idiosyncrasy has always been the "free" left turn on red and left turn rightaway.  But especially in recent years driving errors of all types have become prevalent leading one to speculate that there exists a special city law relating to traffic laws; i.e.

    Driver Classes Exempt From Federal, State, and City Traffic Laws

    The following classes of drivers of automobiles, trucks, or other vehicles are exempt from adhering to all federal, state, and city traffic laws:

    1.  Drivers of all city emergency vehicles.
    2.  All other city drivers including city bus, school bus, and maintenance vehicles.
    3.  All drivers of commercial vehicles.
    4.  All drivers connected with the University of Missouri.
    5.  All other students going to or returning from public and private schools, colleges, and universities.
    6.  All elderly drivers.
    7.  All drivers commuting to either work or to shopping.
    8.  All other classes not included in the above.

    Some Nerve!   Wednesday, March 07, 2007

     I was taking my daughter to school this morning in Raytown going the speed limit of 35.  I know I was going the speed limit because I saw a cop coming down the road and I looked down at my speed to make sure I was obeying the law.  Out of the blue this black car come up really fast on my butt and proceeds to go around me on the shoulder, which was the same side of the car my daughter was on.  I was stunned!  The worst part is that she continued to speed away going at least 50 past the COP!!!!  Had he been paying attention at ALL he would have seen what she did.  I actually laughed when she did it because he was coming right at us and said to my daughter, "she is so busted".  HE DID NOTHING!!!  So I continued to take my daughter to school and low and behold, guess who was in line infront of me taking her son to school and was in the car line right in front of me.  It took everything in me to stay in my car and not cause a scene.  To give you an idea of how fast she was driving, by the time I let my daughter out of the car and pulled out on the road, she was no where to be found, and I was even watching her to see what direction she went.  Do school zones mean nothing to these people?  She is a danger to all of the children at Spring Valley school, and I feel sorry for her son (had to be in kindergarten or 1st grade) because driving like that is going to get somebody hurt if not killed.  Her plate number is 323-PPK and she drives a Black Mitzubishi Diamante, watch out for her!!!  I called her information into the police department, they were very nice and understood my frustration, but unless you can identify her in court with the info on the car, they cannot do anything about what happened.  Be careful!

    Question about a sticker   Friday, February 09, 2007

    I've seen stickers on the back of people's cars all the time. It has no wording with it - it looks like a military thing - although no one has been able to tell me what it is. It's the sticker that is white and has the two vertical blue stripes? I have a feeling they have to do with ribbons, because I've also seen them in navy with yellow stripes. Can anyone tell me what these are and what they indicate?

    thanks!
