Asshat likes to swerve between cars and mouth off to the people he tries to run off the road. Get a life loser.

Pardon me for going the speed limit on YOUR road. Perhaps we can get the signs changed from 35 to 70? That way you won't have to come up on me so fast and drive in my back seat.

Hazard : Pardon Me

Your extreme tailgating is going to get someone killed. You couldn't fit a damn playing card between us. Yeah I slowed down hoping you'd back the hell off...but noooo you got by in that oh so sweet chevy crapbox and tailgated the next guy. and the next. and the next. and got home 30 seconds faster. You're damn lucky I resisted the urge to stomp hard the brakes.. pretty soon someone else won't. The extreme tailgating and taking video of my plate with your phone was real precious too. It's a matter of time before you're on your roof in the median strip.

Hazard : tailgaiter

Lets learn how to drive and stay in the correct lane. Thanks for almost side swiping me on the highway. Your passenger is also as ugly as you are, no matter how much makeup she tried to put on in the visor mirror. And while at the light, flirting with the dumb construction guys was real cool, maybe you'll both get your dream and marry one some day....if they can get past your poor driving abilities and ugly looks. BEWARE EVERYONE!

Hazard : Not Paying Attention!

(Veterans Plate 2695 actually) Guy is at green light, but blocked by traffic and jumps OUT of his pick up truck to start pounding on the car blocking the intersection. No regard for traffic coming from the other direction. He blocks that traffic and tries to move his lane of traffic (which is now also blocked by HIS vehicle) all while his light then turns red. So he's got 8 lanes of traffic not moving, a green light for the 4 other lanes, and he's yelling at the other lane of traffic (blocked by HIS vehicle now) to move. Yelling obscenities the whole time. He finally jumps back in his car, the other lanes start moving and he just honks his horn and crosses 4 lanes of traffic to go on his way. Surprised no one was in an accident (or beat up or worse by this guy).

Heading south on Route 237. I was going 40-45 in a 40 MPH zone, having just sped up from a 30 MPH zone. Subaru came up behind me extremely fast. I thought they were going to ram me off the road. They came up very close behind me, then backed off about 30 feet, then revved and came at me fast again. They did this several times I suppose in an effort to intimidate me off the road. Eventually they revved the engine really hard and passed me.

Flag : Tried to run me off the road

Aggressively came in on a main road from a side road with a yield sign. Hit the gas pedal hard to purposefully cut me off. Came close to side-swiping them during their maneuver as they were driving approximately 60 MPH in a 30 MPH zone and I did not see any cars approaching from that side.

Flag : Random jerk

While stopping to take a corner off a 25 mile per hour road, this youung woman and her male posse barreled up the road, then stopped fast behind us and honked because we were waiting at a STOP SIGN. She then proceeded to tail gate us all the way up Main Street, finally passing us by driving through the ditch (which is, umm, ILLEGAL). While she drove, her "buddies" yelled, and enjoyed flipping us off. She's a danger on the road and needs to slow her ass down. This was Waterville at 8:45pm on a Friday night...there was no reason to be driving that fast.

Flag : Rude, obnoxious speeder!

I guess if you have the bigger vehicle you can just change lanes anytime you want. I guess you were in a hurry to fill get to a gas station and fill up that p.o.s and couldn't afford the 4 extra seconds to let me go by and yield...you know how you're supposed to when merging onto the highway? Let's just hope you don't kill someone on the way

Going on 295 in the accelerator lane and moving along nicely, and I hear this horrible asthmatic engine noise. I find out that the Z28 was driving in my blind spot and I was running out of road fast and he couldn't even pass me as I accelerate in my lane. I slowed and hit the rumble strips as he didn't even move over (as there was plenty of space) to the other lane. Inconsiderate bastard! I took a nice picture of his god-awful sounding car as well in case police will be out looking for this ingrate.

Flag : Your Z28 has asthma

 Washington Avenue in Portland Maine today a guy hopped out of his silver pick up truck (Maine veteran plate 2695) and started pounding on a car in the middle of the intersection and attempted to direct traffic to clear the intersection. Only issue...he didn't pay attention to the traffic signals nor the fact that there were 8 lanes of traffic wanting to go in different directions. He made things MUCH worse and then hopped back in his car and drove throug

Driving twoards downtown Freeport on Rt. 1, in front of the "Big Indian", this kid pulls out of the parking lot without stoping less then 50ft in front of me as I was going between 45-50mph. In 10 years driving, I have never had to hit my breaks so hard before! I had to swerve into the oncoming traffic lane and skidded to a halt less then two inches from this kids driver side door! He stopped and just staired at me, he looked under 18, and then he just took off down Rt. 1 as if nothing happened

 While travelling in Maine I noticed a very Patriotic car.  It was a stretch limo painted in Red, White, and Blue American flag design.  I saw this car near the Richmond/Gardiner area of South Central Maine. Does anyone know who it may belong to?  I would love to get a closeup picture of the car and talk to the driver.
