  • this lady had a minor wreck, ran into the rear of an empty trailer on the freeway. I first noticed her at a stop light , she was slow to accelerate and stayed slow, then ran over the  "turtles " of a turn lane..she was definitely DUI.  I passed her up , then watched as she tried to stay on the freeway. As traffic came to a halt she couldn't stop in time (slow reflexes) and hit a trailer pulled by a truck.. you see it on the right at the very end..

  • Complete bitch.  I have seen her before, and she always drive like this.  But this is the first time I have seen so many things from her in a short time (10-15 minutes total here)  -----------------------------

I-35 in Lewisville, northbound.  She suddenly exits from the highway from the *middle* lane.  She actually exited one exit early - so she could do 60-65mph on the frontage road (posted 40mph) because the normal exit is backed up.  Once she gets to the real exit - she blows thru the yield sign, nearly rear ending a car coming off the freeway.  -----------------------------
Swisher road in Lake Dallas, eastbound.  There only 6 cars at the red light -- 3 in the left lane and 3 in the right lane.  But she goes into the *left turn* lane instead.  When the light turns green, she floors it and actually goes straight at the light, nearly hitting the driver in the real left lane.  Once she gets to the bridge over the lake, she resumes her 20mph over the limit since she thinks there are no hiding places for the cops on the bridge.  -----------------------------
Eldorado Pkwy in Little Elm, northbound.   Notice a pattern here?  Her antics are not getting her anywhere since I keep catching backup at all the red lights.  This time she is in the left turn lane….but the line is long. She does not make it thru the light before it turns red again. So she cuts off a driver in the right turn lane, nearly hitting him.  She turns right at the light (on red – O.K. in TX), proceeds about 50 feet, then does a u-turn right in front of an oncoming driver.  Then she proceeds in the originally intended direction at the light. Since the light only lasts about 20 seconds – I still eventually catch up with here again….

  • On the highway - weaving, lane changes across multiple lanes, cutting off another driver, tailgating.  But then I caught up with him on the service road - so he did not get very far.  Bet he wonders how his driver mirror got smashed so badly like that?  Wonder if his driving caused it?

  • rush hour - so traffic is slow.  Evidently this little girl is in a big hurry - so she moves over and uses the on-ramp as her personal passing lane.  She even moves onto the shoulder to pass the people legitmately using the onramp to enter the highway.

  • camped out in the left lane, not keeping up with traffic in front of him, blocking the traffic behind him.  When the road went down to only 1 lane in each direction, this idiot actually finally sped up -- trying to cut off a Corvette before the merge. (Corvette was in the right hand lane)

  • This asshole was so afraid to loose one position in traffic, he refused to yield to traffic coming off Hardy and damn near cause every car behind be to rear end me and then has the balls to honk a flip me off. Once I arrived at his tailgate at the redlight and threw my nasty full spit cup into the bed of his pickup while flashing my lights, he didn't seem to be as big of a man as he showed himself to be a mile back. Jerk off!

  • Rush hour evening traffic.  This lady is camped out in the left lane, blocking traffic. She is not keeping up with traffic - and people keep going around her and cutting her off to get back into the left lane.  After about the 20th person does this, she finally catches a clue and moves to the middle lane instead.  As I pass her - I notice she is on her cell phone.  Evidently the phone was more important than actually driving.

    BJ8-F593   Saturday, July 10, 2010

      Dear smug latter-20-something brunette in the white Acura TSX [Texas plate BJ8-F593]: When someone's stopped in a parking lot with their left indicator blinking, it means they're turning into a space. It sometimes means they're waiting for another car on the left to exit so they can take the space. It does not mean to try to pass on the left and, in the end, block the departing car's lane of egress. It certainly does not mean you should get angry because everyone's in your way. Believe it or not, you are no more or less important than anyone else.

    You're Nasty, enjoy your slow miserable death.   Friday, July 09, 2010

     To people who smoke:

    Have fun and enjoy yourself. No really, enjoy your cancer sticks, your smelly hair and yellow fingernails. Maybe you don't have anyone to love you, or don't care how your declining health may affect those that do. I don't really care about you, or if you smoke. I won't mind when you die, more room for me on the roads is always a good thing...I'm just stating my opinion.

    What I do care about is your inconsideration for others and the environment when you throw your nasty butts out of your car window. Most autos have an ashtray, why don't you use it? Oh, because it will make your car smell? Like your nasty ass?

    Don't give me that crap about having to fork out extra money for the "smoker's package" when you got your auto...you spend a lot of money on those dukes don't you? It's not like you can't buy a car ashtray at Walmart for $5.00 either.

    So stop hitting my brand new car with your gross f***'ing cigarettes and setting the dry grass on fire on the side of the highway.

    can not turn   Wednesday, July 07, 2010

    Blue Nissan Extera Texas 049 JSP

    Loop 12 & Main Street

    Hey driver, if you can not turn into the proper lane on a right hand turn how about getting off the damn road!!!! If I had not been paying attention you would have crushed the side of my truck. I am sick and tired of these people that think they have to go all the way across the lanes when they turn. What these idiots don't realize is other people are turning from the second turn lane beside them. Dallas PD you need to watch this intersection!!!

    Self entitling black jack ass   Wednesday, June 23, 2010

    Hwy 170 WB, 4:30 pm. TX 688WSN. What do you think entitles you to act like that? My 6 over the speed limit not fast enough for you? You have to climb up my backside, cuss me, and then flip me off? Cut off the other driver in the other lane just so you could get ahead of the pack? How did you like that when I got right up next to you and called you out? For some reason you wouldn't get out of the car.. What? Afraid of this little ol' white girl? That's about the only thing you didn't call me. But you sure didn't have the balls to back it up... Hide and watch little man.. I am on that road EVERYDAY at that time and I will have FWPD waiting for you... According to Texas traffic law, all I have to do is sign an affidavit stating your activity and your gonna have to go to court for road rage. FWPD has your LP and your description.. I am done putting up with attitudes like yours..

    road rage   Saturday, December 12, 2009

       Driving this afternoon at 12:35 in Ft Worth, Texas in my tractor- trailer, I was on i-820 eastbound N of Ft Worth. A mile and a half before the exit for i-35w northbound, I moved left from the right lane across the middle lane, into the left lane for the left lane only exit. A small blue BMW came up behind me very fast, trying to pass me on the left. Because I was only driving the speed limit, he had to abruptly slow when he fell in behind me in the left lane. So- a few seconds later, he passed me on the right, hugging the right side of my trailer and truck, then dove in front of me (under my hood where I could only see the front half of his vehicle) and stood on his brakes while holding his finger out the driver's window. After dropping my speed in a panic stop from 60 mph to less than 40 mph, he dove across the roadway into the right lanes and sped off. Illinois License plate #862 7329. Blue or green BMW, black male driver.

    dangerous driver in red truck going at high rate of speed   Sunday, September 20, 2009

     I turned left out of Tierra Linda in Kerrville, onto Harper Road. It was about 1:45 p.m. 9-20-09. Soon after someone in a red truck came speeding around the corner and was driving I guess at least 70 mph in a 50 mph zone. He/she started driving too close to me and decided it was just terrible that I was going the speed limit, so went around me on the wrong side of the road.  This person was going so fast I could not tell what kind of truck it was nor could I see the license plate.  The driver ended up way ahead of me and it seemed as though they kept driving 70 or more , even after the speed limit went down to 35, as they were completely out of site by the time I got back into town. What is your hurry? You could kill yourself and  innocent people on the road, probably in a hurry for no reason as in most cases. Be careful and slow down. I was the only one in this drivers lane of traffic, but a few vehicles were traveling the other direction. They probably couldn't spot a license plate either. Whoever you are, if you even have a license, it needs to be taken away and you shouldn't have been given one in the first place. I miss the days when you didn't have to fear for your life driving in the Kerrville area.

    Illegal Behavior   Tuesday, June 09, 2009

     I got some flack from some pathetic turd for posting about an idiot that was tailgating me over Memorial Day weekend. Well, it turns out that I have a valid right to be pissed off at someone following too closely. Not only is it extremely dangerous, but ILLEGAL! I was never 100% sure, but I did some research...

    Q. As Austin grows and traffic congestion increases, we should all think about safety. I frequently see drivers following too closely to the vehicle in front. Often I look in my rearview mirror to see someone driving right behind my car. Isn't this unsafe, even perhaps against the law?

    A. Texas traffic laws specifically address following too closely. Vernon's Civil Statutes Article 6701d. Section 61 states: (a) The driver of a motor vehicle shall, when following another vehicle, maintain an assured clear distance between the two vehicles, exercising due regard for the speed of such vehicles, traffic upon and conditions of the street or highway, so that such motor vehicle can be safely brought to a stop without colliding with the preceding vehicle or veering into other vehicles, objects or persons on or near the street or highway.


    Which means, every time I look in MY rear view mirror and see a jerk tailgating, he is doing something illegal. I wonder how many lives are lost a year because of rear end accidents from following too close? Or how about the classic multiple car pile up because of a chain of tailgaters?

    Road trips   Monday, May 25, 2009

     I love a holiday weekend. I love this holiday weekend. Everything that it stands for and everyone that it applies to. Now having said that:

    What is wrong with you people??? Coming home from Arkansas, late in the evening on Sunday night. Spent the weekend in the mountains, couldn't be happier. Ah but that was before we got to Dallas. See we have to travel I30 West bound to get home. Being late Sunday traffic is light, thank goodness. Why?

    See you were the black male driver with the Virginia plates on a Pontiac (I think) sedan. You were a little erratic and I chalked it up that you had been on the road all day. But no, you had to prove me wrong. When I got up along side of you, you had a television / moniter mounted on your dash and you were watching television. Of course that was in between the texts that you were sending. I am sure you must be a REALLY important person, if only to yourself. Next time, get a room and watch your shows. Get off of Texas highways as you are a nuisance to the rest of us. If your texts are so important, pull the hell over. You only get ONE lane to drive in, not two. Just because there is more than one doesn't mean you can use them at the same time.

    Now having said that? Welcome to Texas fool.

    And no the "black male" was not a dig at his/your color. It is only to differentiate him from all the other white/hispanic/asian pontiac drivers out there.
