Friday May 19 this idiot blocked 4 p.m. traffic on W. Beardsley Rd. from 83rd Ave. to 99th Ave. while non-stop texting. He didn't move off the 83rd light and then poked in the left lane blocking traffic, drifting in and out of the center turn lane, all the way to 99th. All traffic had to go around him. I pulled into a side street to let him go by, then pulled alongside to photograph him texting. He never noticed.

Have seen this guy multiple times - driving West on Cactus Road between 35th Avenue and 67 Avenue - around 3:30pm each time. He speeds excessively, weaves through traffic, cuts people off (sometimes he uses his signal - not all the time) and he tailgates. He is aggressive and dangerous and it is only a matter of time before he causes an accident. I only hope when he does, he is the only one to get hurt - not some innocent person.

The driver with AZ plates BRH9707 was heading northbound on 75th Avenue on the Glendale/Peoria border tonight around 8pm. The light turned red for this driver at Beardsley Rd and it was not even close. The light was red for 3 seconds before they entered the intersection -- this person was either distracted or did not care. These are the kinds of idiots that kill innocent people...

I was behind this person for a couple miles on 12/30 @ 3:30pm going West on Cactus Road, from 35th Avenue. I was never able to see the driver clearly, but do believe it was a male. He proceeded to speed and cut off multiple drivers - never once using his turn signal. People would be slowing down for a red light and he would just cut over in front of them with only a foot or two to spare. A couple times since there was not enough room to cut over, he would have the back half of his vehicle still in the other lane. He weaved through traffic constantly for a few miles before he made a left turn. What an inconsiderate, rude, dangerous jerk!

I travel the same route home a couple times a week - as this lady. I estimate she is in her 50's, she has blonde hair and is always wearing sunglasses. Typically she is driving on Cactus Road - anywhere from I-17 Westbound to 83rd Avenue. The time-frame she is making this drive is between 3:30pm and 4:00pm. She is dangerous and rude - every time I see her on the road. She constantly speeds much more than the flow of traffic, cutting in between cars constantly trying to get ahead. She thinks 12" of space between her rear bumper and your front bumper is sufficient room to cut in front of you. She only uses a turn signal maybe half the time. Oh - and she loves to tailgate. I have been seeing this dangerous woman doing this for the past couple of years. Wouldn't be surprise if she has caused a couple accidents. If you see her on the road, be prepared - she will cut you off in a heartbeat.

About 3 p.m. Tue. Dec. 3 mid-40s woman parks her Toyota Corolla in the yellow striped no-parking zone in front of the entrance to the Trader Joe's at 77th Ave. & Bell in Glendale, AZ. There was plenty of parking spaces available so I thought she would run in for an item and run out. No - she disinfected a shopping cart and started leisurely making her way through the store. Customers were just amazed and commenting. so I told her she was parked in a no parking zone. She told me to shut up and mind my own business. I took a photo of the car, showed it to the manager and pointed her out. Apparently the manager and his assistant took some action because she left immediately.

Damn Sunday driver! Driver was swerving all over the road and finally came to a stop sign in the middle of two lanes. Waited for an extremely long time, blocking all traffic since they were in the middle of the road, then finally turned left. People like you should take the bus! Stay in your lane tard'.

The gentleman (and I use the term VERY loosely) driving this car is a menace. Swerving in and out of traffic, without signaling speeding, slamming on the brakes when he couldn't get passed and driving in the HOV lane when he was alone in the car (I know this because I was next to him as we crawled thru a slow spot and I was able to see thru his untinted windows) apparently does not matter to him. First encountered him on southbound SR-51 between 32nd Street and Northern, and was still near him (despite his VERY erratic driving/law-breaking) as I exited the I-10 at 40th Street. He continued on, so I do not know where he was going, but if you see him, please be aware that he may try to run you off the road.

Heavy rush hour traffic on surface streets, and I could see up ahead my light turn green, the cars begin to go, and all of a sudden (way too late) this idiot goes into the intersection at the wrong time to make a left hand turn. While his buddy passenger sticks his hand out the window to flip everyone off. The car pulls right into a parking lot (of "Wireless Toyz" I believe). I turned into the parking lot behind them, and the idiot driver had such a difficult time parking his Pontiac car in the parking space. LMAO. Morons!!

01/10/13 (Thursday) at 3:45pm driving West on Cactus Road, between 43rd Ave. & 67th Ave. - this woman has ZERO regard for a speed limit. She is white, in her 40's, longer/straight grayish-tan hair. She drives 20+ over the speed limit and constantly weaves through traffic to get around the law-abiding drivers. Sometimes she uses her signal, sometimes she doesn't - either way, she tends to just cut people off to try and get ahead. Stupid lady kept ending up at the red lights and I would keep catching up to her. I can easily see her causing an accident! BE AWARE!

Not sure about make of van. Friday 4 p.m. on the westbound Loop 101 in North Phoenix, this pinhead suddenly pulls left in front of a MINI Cooper passing in the clear HOV lane. He then slows down blocking all vehicles in the HOV lane. When the MINI tried to pass on the right in gaps in traffic, this idiot would repeatedly speed up and block the MINI. He would let other vehicles go around him but not the MINI. Being a dumb driver is one thing, but being a dumb driver with a distinctive ASU one-of-a-kind plate is even dumber. There is now a warning out to all MINI drivers in Arizona about this idiot.

Mental Handicap Doesn't Count!

 I was at the dr's office waiting for a cab ride home from the Banner Estrella Medical Center when I spotted a driver from Hot Shot Deliveries, LLC. parked in the handicapped parking space. Being mobility impaired, I asked him if he was handicapped, and he said, "No.", so I told him to move his truck. He told me security said it was okay so long as his flashers were left on. I was pretty suspicions as I was familiar with security after discussing bad park

I come out of Chili's. I think I did a good job of park seeing how I left a foot and a half on the driver side. The other side was next to the curb. So some A hole parks next to me at an angle. Their vehicle was over on my side of the line and left me about 8 inches of room to get in my coupe( long doors). What a jerk, and a couple more bad terms.

This South Carolina plate ADS-140 expired in July 2010 and the occupant is now driving in Arizona, appears to be relocated, and is breaking laws when dropping little girl off at school. Driver drives in bicycle lane, lets little girl hang out of rear driver-side window from waist up, and unloads girl illegaly on main street instead of driving into the school and unloading at the proper spot. What kind of a parent is this?!!!

Watch out for this driver! He drives with his ego and emotions. He gets upset whenever anyone merges in front of him or tries to pass him. He will even swerve lanes as you try to pass him to avoid cars getting in front of him. He is very obnoxious and really thinks he owns the whole road. Licenses 361-YDL AZ. It's a black truck with really tinted windows. He will risk causing an accident to get his way.

 962 WYL, thanks for cutting me off this morning and causing my lunch to fly to the floor, bruising my apple and spilling my water. Maybe when you have little kids in the car, you should have them wear seat belts so when you blindly slide around a corner and into oncoming traffing they dont bounce around so much. Just in case you were wondering, I was not following you after you cut me off, I work by your house, so there was no reason to keep checking

Watch out for a guy driving an older white truck, could be a Dodge or Chevy, empty pickup bed. He was driving about 40-45 in a residential area with posted 25 MPH (also where children catch the school bus) drove right up to my bumper and sped around at this high speed into the no-passing lane next to me. It was done carelessly and without regard for safety of anyone, myself, and people in the area. He sped off and I recorded his license plate: acd1942

Since when has it become illegal to stop at a red light before making a right turn? According to this lady, that is the wrong thing to do! Must go, go, go! Then once the turn is made she "punishes" your behavior by driving half-way into your lane. Nice.

Grow up, lady.

 My husband was run off the road by this careless truck driver; my husband was in an escort and noticed when he merged onto the I-40 in Flagstaff that two truck drivers were messing around on the interstate just behind him. Before he had time to react, one past in front of him and merged into him; he had to swerve off the road not to be hit!!
