Pepsi company logos on this truck driving south on Highway 21 north of Atmore on Sunday morning (yesterday). This company driver tailgates me way too close and since my young son is in the backseat, I didn't like it. We had been camping at Little River Forest and now heading home. I tapped the brakes and he continues to tailgate even after we passed the prison. When the road widened to 2 lanes, I quickly moved over and let him pass. He went a lot faster into town than I did. Don't company trucks get tickets too?

Beware the red Ford Ranger pickup with the broken left taillight! On Memorial Parkway, this red Ford Ranger suddenly swerved from the far right onramp to the far left lane, across two lanes of traffic. (I was in the far left lane at the time.) I honked twice when he(?) suddenly swerved into the center lane, to alert him (?) that I was there. It did no good: he (?) swerved over on top of me, forcing me to brake suddenly, to keep from being driven into the dividing wall to my left. I did not get a look at the driver through the tinted windows, but I did catch the plate before he (?) sped off: AL plate 47R95T9.

Let's face it... other cars are going to plug up the left lane when they're not whizzing by slower cars... it's a frustrating given, unfortunately, that you'll get stuck behind one occasionally. But take heart, everyone... you can follow the example of this maniacal jackass and tailgate the car directly in front of you, the one that's lined up behind the car that actually is plugging up the left lane. That'll really get things moving. It's widely understood that following the car immediately in front of you so close that your car's grill and headlights fail to show up in that car's rear-view mirror will either push them to follow the car immediately in front of them just as closely, because there's no way that can be perceived as risky and dangerous driving. Following a car that's behind another car anywhere from "way too close" to "close enough to check for miniscule paint flaws on the rear bumper" will somehow make that first car in line move faster and shave a whopping 3.6 seconds off that trip down South Parkway. It's a proven scientific fact that the message will travel telepathically from the person you're gently encouraging to speed up to the driver in front of them, and so on until everyone's moving right along at the speed you choose or everyone realizes their inferiority and moves out of your way. It's not really self-importance if where you're going at that exact moment really is more important than any place anyone else has had to go, ever. Of course, if you're going to do it, if you're going to show that car immediately in front of you the error of their ways, you really have to commit. With great power, comes great responsibility. Follow even closer if the car that needs to be tailgated slows down, whether as a message, because of a road hazard, because of a slowdown in traffic flow... or, most likely, for no reason whatsoever except for their abject idiocy. If that car jumps on the brakes briefly in a futile attempt to send a message back to you, close in even tighter and flash your headlights to indicate they need to go faster, because they're too stupid and self-absorbed to know that they're in your way. And don't worry if they can barely even see your headlights because you're that close to them... somehow the message will get through their thick skulls and they will fall down on their knees, kiss your feet and humbly apologize for having wasted your obscenely valuable time. One more tip... if your headlight flash prompts a middle finger... make sure to deliver at least two of your own in retaliation (one immediately upon the other driver's bird, and another when you finally get to blow past them thanks to you own peerless intrepidity), because you've done nothing wrong and any attempt for someone to indicate otherwise is merely a desperate attempt by that person trying to cover for their lack of driving ability. (By the way... the above is sarcasm. I'm sure you could figure that out... unless you're the psycho bitch wielding the car with this plate, that is. In which case, if you are this particular Most Important Person On The Face Of The Earth, thanks for advancing far beyond the usual class of bad driver in Huntsville, and kindly go off and have sex with yourself.) Side note... Platewire really needs a graphic representation of Alabama's new "God Bless America" tag. That's what type of tag this moronic bitch had, and that's what a lot of the bad drivers I come across around here have as well.

Heading south on I-459 between 3&4pm 5/8/2010, this idiot failed to check his or her mirrors and look when attempting to merge into the left lane, thereby causing a pregnant woman (myself) to have to get 3/4 off the road to keep them from hitting my little Alero. This individual kept coming over the line for several seconds after I honked, having to not only get over closer to the concrete barrier, but slow down to let them blow on by. Completely unacceptable and obviously distracted driving.

Drafting is a technique best used on a superspeedway, not Research Park Boulevard at 7:30pm. If only this were a NASCAR race, this woman could have just bumped me out of her way and continue on her way at 80+ mph, weaving in and out of traffic to get to the University Drive ramp five seconds sooner. Good thing I didn't have to slow up for anything, or I would have had a trunk full of another car's front end... which I almost did anyway. It's drivers like this that really make me think Huntsville drivers are the absolute worst. (I know everyone says that about their town's drivers... I think Huntsville's are at least as bad.)

Me: First car waiting at the red light at AL-20 and Slaughter Road, waiting to turn left onto eastbound 20 towards I-565. You: Reckless jerk in a large white pickup, towing a trailer full of lawn care equipment, blowing past a whole lane of cars that actually cared to stop for a light that had been red for several seconds, not even bothering to hit the brakes. Guess what... that's how serious, life-altering and sometimes fatal accidents happen... because self-important jerks like you blatantly run lights that are unquestionably red. Good thing there wasn't anyone in the right lane who cared to stop for the light... you would have plowed into them at 60 mph before you even had the chance to hit me. If your brakes don't work well, get them fixed. If you thought your trailer was too heavy, don't tow so much on it. But if you are just another jerkoff who needs to get to where he's going more than anyone else on the road... park your damn truck and turn in your license before you kill someone.

Sept.6, 2011--Dothan, AL While driving on Ross Clark Circle around 1:55 pm I noticed a newer model black Nissan Maxima flying up behind me who clearly couldn't make up her mind. She slows down then comes flying up again then slows back. A short time later I see her cut someone off w/o a signal to get in slow lane. She floors it so I speed up but she comes over & cuts me off, again w/o a signal. I lay down on the horn and givea friendly hand gesture. She has GA plates, go figure! Car in front

  We were driving north on I65 this weekend. There was substantial traffic so there were plenty of opportunities to get stuck behind slower drivers. Well some little miss in a black mercedes benz with license plate MIGBIZ was asserting her privilege on the road. She was the one who tries to pass a line of cars in the left hand lane by zooming up the right hand lane and pushing her way in to the line. She attempted this with me and started merg

Incident occurred in Dothan around 2pm today at the light where McDonald's meets Ross Clark Cir and 231. I'm coming out of shopping center toward light and this bitch is pulling out of McD's and just cuts out in front of me not paying attention so I lay on the horn in addition to my brakes. She swerves into the left turn lane so I pull up as I'm trying to go right onto the circle. What does she do? She cuts over (no turn signal- surprise surprise) into my lane and lay on the horn again but she

Watch out for this one.  Coming from the eastern shore to Mobile, in pouring down rain, on the Bayway, it likes to tailgate then pass and cut in with inches to spare. Yes, on the Bayway and apparently because no one was traveling any faster than 60 mph. Did I mention it was raining so hard you could barely see the car in front of you

January 17th, on 65 North at 7 am. The black Mistubishi Montero Sport with the license plate # AN13164. The reason I flashed my lights at you was because you dangerously flew in front of my truck (without a blinker of course) and almost hit me. Not sure why you thought it was okay for you to weave in and out of traffic just to get to the 459 exit 2 seconds quicker than anyone else. I hope you get a ticket jack @ss.

If you are driving in Marshall, Madison or Etowah county, Alabama, I would highly suggest keeping an eye out for the following cars: (1) White Dodge Neon, damage to the front right headlight, light blue/gray "racing stripe" down the middle of the front hood, license plate number 50D195H. Why? This guy has a very lead foot, and to my knowledge, he has numerous speeding tickets (ask both of his ex-wives) & the accidents that he has caused, he has tried to blame on other people. If you
