TEXTING & DRIVING LICENSE PLATE NUMBERS
Monday, August 06, 2012
FROM THE MEDFORD-ASHLAND CRAIGSLIST PAGE
TEXTING WHILE DRIVING IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ACCIDENTS THAT CLAIMED 19,411 LIVES DURING THE PERIOD OF 2001 TO 2011.
This page is being created for all of the IDIOTS out there who can't get through their tiny little brains that you're going to kill somebody while you're texting and driving... and it might be me!
So, if you're stupid enough not to follow the rules about this... I'll be stupid enough to list all of the license plate numbers I see of these IDIOTS! (And there are a lot of you out there)
Going to let others know how stupid you texting drivers really are. A texting driver is 23 times more likely to get into a crash than a non-texting driver. I've come close on several occasions in the past few weeks myself of almost getting hit by someone texting. Some of these drivers think if there are no police around and no one is watching them, then it's OK to drive with a "loaded gun" in your hand with the hammer cocked. I don't want be a statistic, and I don't want the next fatality to be my family or friends.
If you don't like what I'm doing here... then you're feeling guilty yourself of texting while driving, and you too will end up on this list.
We're not vigilantes and we don't go out of our way to chase down offending drivers. We only take pictures when there are two or more people in the vehicle. It's really easy to spot these drivers while just running errands around town. They're everywhere!
We WILL see you out there on the road. So the next time you're out and about, and you see someone watching you while you're texting and driving . . . it might be me. And YOUR car, license plate number or even a photo of you driving while being STUPID will be BOLDLY listed here! And I'll be updating this every day.
Feel free to respond with your support to this national ongoing epidemic.
REMEMBER THIS PEOPLE. . . There is nothing you can do to stop this list from growing and growing. THIS IS ENTIRELY LEGAL!
**** PAGE UPDATE 8/04/2012****
Received dozens of emails with thanks and support for what we're doing... Thank you all Very Much! Also received some really funny ones with threats of lawsuits. . . from the STUPID ones. Evidently, they are the ones that don't care about this problem, and just want to harass and complain. These are the drivers we really need to watch out for. Is your life, or the lives of others that much more important than finding out if Joanie Loves Chachi? C'mon we're all grown-ups here... let's start acting like it.
*** Just watched an interview with local Police on KDRV-12 news about this page (didn't realize this page made the news), and that it's completely LEGAL to post pictures and license numbers on this page of anyone texting behind the wheel... so those who have made threats of liable suits can just BITE ME! I'm well within my legal rights to do what I'm doing, and I will continue to do it. And yes... I do have a lot of time on my hands.
Read the story on KDRV News 12. . . http://www.kdrv.com/craigslist-ad-calls-out-drivers-who-text/
****PAGE UPDATE 8/05/2012****
Here's a driver to watch out for... A concerned citizen named SETH HALE sent the following email:
"I am going to go drive right now and send an extremely long text right now after reading this!! Oh im serious too"
Feel free to reach out to this concerned citizen at hethsale79@gmail.com and let him know your thoughts on his insightful email.
I guess Oregon allows people with diminished capacity to have a driver's license...
DRIVERS SEEN WHILE TEXTING:
THURSDAY 8/02/2012
3:45PM: I watched a 20-something blonde female in a silver Prius (no plates) in the left turn lane of Crater Lake Ave onto McAndrews, miss the signal and backed up traffic. A few pissed off drivers behind her honking never got her attention. She was too busy texting to notice anything.
FRIDAY 8/03/2012
9:06AM - Male driver in black Chevy Tahoe (OR Plate # *** 963) E Barnett Rd at Black Oak Dr. Texting while driving.
2:20PM - Female driver in red BMW (OR Plate # 526 ***) texting while driving through the parking lot of Bear Creek Plaza... drove through the STOP sign almost hitting another car that had the right of way.
4:14PM - Male driver in brown Ford Taurus (OR Plate # 746 ***) W Stewart Ave at Peach St. Texting with both hands and appeared to be steering with his knee.
SATURDAY 8/04/2012
11:05AM - Female driver in silver Pathfinder (OR Plate # *** 660) in Food for Less parking lot... wasn't paying attention and almost ran into me when she didn't stop at the sign. I honked, and she gave ME the finger. WTF is wrong with you people...WAKE UP?
2:30PM - Teenage male driver in green LeMans (OR Plate # 103 ***) driving on N Riverside Ave at 6th St... He's got one hand on the wheel and texting with the other.
5:30PM - Saw 2 drivers at the same time... 1st was a male RVTD Bus driver (it was a Rt 60 bus) eastbound on Delta Waters Ave at Crater Lake Hwy was driving with a cell phone to his ear. The 2nd was a female in a white Ford Explorer also driving east on Delta Waters Ave at Crater Lake Hwy was texting while she was driving through the intersection. Didn't get the Explorer's plate... too busy watching the RVTD driver on his cell phone. Wow... now we have to watch out for crazy RVTD bus drivers too?
SUNDAY 8/05/2012 - (The following are not texting drivers, but just as deadly!)
10:20AM - Female driver in blue Buick Regal (Or Plate # *** 736) pulled out of the KFC parking lot across from Winco Plaza, turned east without stopping onto E Barnett Rd on a red light (with cell phone in hand) causing an oncoming truck to brake quickly.
1:15PM - Male driver in green Ford F-150 (OR Plate # B*****L) failed to STOP at the sign at W Main & W 6TH Sts (next to the YMCA). I was in the left lane, and watched him blow right thru the sign into the right lane of W Main with a cell phone to his left ear. He never looked or even slowed down at the sign.
1:16PM - Didn't get very far... Just a few blocks away: Female driver in red VW Bug (OR Plate # 877 ***) failed to STOP at Rose Ave and W Main. Never stopped or even slowed down to make the right turn. Just chatting away on her iPhone... She almost re-ended another vehicle in the right turn lane at N Columbus Ave signal. So, does this female driver count as 1 or 2? ;-)
MORE TO COME...!

373 CUW - Watch out for this weaving woman
Saturday, April 07, 2012
She will pass you and weave in and out of traffic at high rates of speed. It won't be so charming when she hurts someone and damages property. Her insurance should be revoked.

Failed to yield right of way
Saturday, February 12, 2011
Eugene Oregon, corner of Royal and Terry- Tan American pick up 2005 with plates of 226 EFH. I was going North on Terry through the intersection. Pickup going Southbound was making left turn onto Royal. Pickup crossed car lane and halfway through bike lane coming within 1 foot of hitting me. Driver slammed on horn and brakes, rolls down window, and cussed me out. If I could report him to the Oregon DMV I could, but it does not appear to be possible

Repeat offender!
Driving thru NW Portland in the morning rush hour, I found this large truck with camper shell right on my tail. He was flashing his lights and being generally agressive. When I finally reached my turn off point and was in the turn lane, this idiot roars around me and pulls in in front of me in the turn lane. Then he puts it into reverses and drives backward towards my car! Seeing that there was no place to turn as it was dark, I return to the traffic lane and this person sped back up and cut me off in the lane. He sped off with an obscene gesture with head hanging out his window as he must have noted my phone was being used to call 911. They couldn't have cared less as in their words "he was now gone." (I noticed that this person has been entered here before.)

Eugene Oregon Passing in School Zone
Friday, May 28, 2010
He is a short older man. If you know him, or he is your neighbor, maybe
you can chat with him about this. I was in a hurry, so I was pushing
the speed limit....meaning I was at the max and anxious to get out of
the school zone. He claimed I was going too slow as he got up in my
face at Albertsons screaming profanities. I hope he can explain the
slowness of other drivers that he passes, to the parents of the kid he
may hit in the future. He was only a few blocks from his destination.
He actually did not save any time because I still ended up in the
parking lot in time for him to scream at me. Just for another case of
beer!! mmmmm

Beware of yellow Toyta FJ Cruiser
Thursday, January 28, 2010
So on my way to my son's pediatrician to see about making an appointment, I was driving on South A street in Springfield. I look up in my rearview, less than a block from the pediatrician, only to see the word Toyota with yellow around it, I couldn't even see a license plate! Wow.. Talk about close huh?
Well, my pediatrician has one of those really bumpy parking lots to enter and you should really go 5 mph and I ended up going into it at 15mph because when I slowed down, which is rather sudden because it was right there, this ass was probably less than an inch from hitting my car. He was also trying to merge, sticking the hood of the car into the right hand lane at the same fucking time, even though there was a lot of oncoming traffic in the right hand lane. He almost hit the truck that was next to me! So he was still driving trying to go around me while almost hitting my car and someone else's.
So beware of a Yellow Toyota FJ Cruiser. You know.. Those weird cars that have a white top. I haven't seen many Yellow ones of this kind of car in the Eugene/ Springfield area, so it won't be hard to miss this douche!

Passed illegally dumbass
Saturday, October 17, 2009
You were behind me south bound on HWY 551 (Cutoff road) stopped at the stoplight entering 99E. When the light turned green and I pulled on to 99 you passed me on the left in legally a single lane portion of the highway. I didn't realize it until we were door to door, the road was narrowing and we were coming together. I had to jerk my wheel to the right, you jerk, to keep from scratching your pretty ass White Esclade EXT ?06 CNJ. And guess what we arrived at my exit from 99E at nearly the same moment.
Why would you take the chance of screwing up your "precious" $50,000 vehicle against my $1,000 Nissan??? You are a f***ing idiot!!! I should have let us collide and gotten a free paint job because you were legally in the wrong and stupid to boot.

Blue lil Hyndai Tailgater
Tuesday, May 19, 2009
Or was it a Kia? Some lil pipsqueak blue mobile with Oregon plates as we were crossing into the CA border. This guy is a piece of work. He's tailing me on 101 south, 1 lane each direction. I pull over and let him pass as soon as I got the opportunity. He proceeds to voraciously sniff the the tail of the silver oldsmobile up ahead. I should have got the idiot's plate number, but he was headed into Crescent City, probably to go drown himself.
