Female driver texting continuously for MILES while driving southbound on highway 521 this afternoon. She had two children in the back seat and her eyes barely looked up at the road! We were driving alongside her for at least 12 minutes and she never once stopped texting and messing with her phone. What a jerk. Her kids deserve better.

Parked in handicapped parking space in the rest area near mile marker 54 on I-26. I think she saw me get a picture of her license plate. But I had taken a full length photograph of handicap marker on the parking space and the whole vehicle too.

This girl blew through the middle of a red light. I drive a motorcycle and had I left 10 seconds earlier, she would have hit me and at the least, shattered my leg but could have also paralyzed me or killed me. Anyone in a car would been T-boned from the drivers side and at minimal would suffer severe bruises more than likely coupled with whiplash and a head gash if they didn't have side airbags. I pulled up next to her at a red light and told her she could have killed me.

Driver decided to wait until the last possible moment to merge so I was forced to run off the road to avoid him. He then decided to slow down and when I passed him he took a pic or video of my car for some reason. Pure ignorance and complete lack of awareness. I called HP about him, but not aware if nything was done.

Twice in the last week this little yellow sports car has almost hit my van! Weaving in and out of traffic on Friday like she's in the movie Fast and Furious. Then almost side swiped my van in the parking lot of Sonic. She has ITZ SPICY on the back of her rear window, and her license plate is ITBITES really really someone please take this car and her license before she kills herself or someone! Please watch out for her for your sake if your traveling in the area!! I wish I knew the proper means to report her!

This is one terrible driver. She just about ran me off the road and hit several other people while speeding through Bluffton on her way to Paulie's Pizza. She was with some young punk who decided it was appropriate to flip me off while cutting me off, nice folks. The best part was, the next day at work one of my co-workers was talking about this little black BMW with a stupid bitch for a driver and some young asshole in the passenger seat. They turned again at Buckwalter and went into Paulie's Pizza. Watch out for this one, she must have just got her car from mommy and daddy and she can't drive while smoking quite yet, give her a couple years and a few deaths.

Sunday, July 10, 2011, 7:30 PM, Ascauga Lake Road - No passing zone with heavy on-coming traffic. This clown in a 4-door pickup decides he needs to bring everyone to a halt by passing me. He then proceeds to make no further head way over the next several miles. He risked his life and others to gain about 50 feet. Thought I saw a dog stick its head out the window but it was a girl. Cigarette butts periodically flew out as they drove. Nice touch to an already drought-stricken area.

I was going home from work driving across the North Bridge on Cosgrove Ave going in to the West Ashley section of Charleston. This is a multilane highway with a 50 MPH limit. I looked in my rear view mirror and this car was following me so close I couldn't even see his headlights. I tapped my brakes to get him off of my tail, he then passed me to the right and then jerked his wheel as he was passing me almost sideswipping me. The whole time this was going on he was yelling obsenities out his window at me. I was shocked as the driver of this car was a white man in his 60s or 70s. Usually older people are careful drivers, this guy must be reliving his youth. After passing me he continued to tailgate other cars all the while darting in and out of lanes during the afternoon rush hour. He finally made a sudden right turn on to Orangegrove Rd. This guy needs to be taken off of the road before he hurts someone.

while traveling in the walmart parking lot at the white knoll location I noticed a truck maybe 2 feet from my rear bumper. We were traveling 18 MPH on the outer band of the parking lot. I pulled to the side and allowed this person to travel around. I did this for a few reasons, (1) to get an ID of the driver plus tag number and description. I watch as this person parked his truck. I will note he traveled the wrong way to the parking space and spent a good five minutes trying to maneuver the vehicle into the spot. I observed the person exit the vehicle and was wearing khaki slacks, dark shirt with a dark ball cap and a slinder black male. I proceeded to park and went in the store to get a better description. The person is a black male that works as a stocker on the night shift. Don't worry, sir. Everyone of the highway patrol knows who you are now and we will be watching you. I wouldn't drive even 1 MPH over the speed limit if I was you. Letters are being put together for the store manager, district manager and walmart HQ in Arkansas. NOTE: I was off duty in my POV.

This idiot comes up on me at a high rate of speed, passes me on a rural two lane road (I was running a few mph over the limit) in a "No Passing" zone with oncoming traffic, veers off the left side of the road, kicks up debris (including a rock that cracks the windshield I had installed last month), then takes off only to come to a dead halt waiting for someone to make a left-hand turn. I get his license, car description, and the fact that he's a fat white guy smoking a cigarette (had cellulite hanging off his arm which was out the window). Think he name was something like "Hoopus".

 Yesterday morning around 7:45 an idiot driving a maroon/burgundy Dodge Stratus (I wish I had gotten his license plate #) decides to cut out in front of me on Paris Bridge Rd. I guess he couldn't wait for 1 more car (being me) to pass before coming out. The speed limit is 50 and he continues to crawl at 20. Needless to say I am on his tail hoping he'll get the hint to speed up, esp since he was in such a hurry to cut in front of me. This moron then d

Around 11:30 am today while leaving WalMart in Boiling Springs this guy in an older model dark grey Toyota Carolla (license plate SC 66? 5D?) comes flying thru the gas station and runs a stop sign causing me to hit the breaks and for the truck entering to break to avoid hitting him. What is the freakin hurry? Not to mention that while I was behind him he was unable to use a turn signal. Big surprise there. No wonder his car is beat up and looks like sh

i am sick to death of the kind and considerate butt holes that travel Celenese Rd in Rock Hill.  try to understand this concept.  if you need to use the right lane to enter 77 Northbound then do not cut people off 50 feet before the entrance.  get in the proper lane before it is necessary.  you know you need to get in line like the rest of us and wait your turn.  i realized this is a new concept for ignorant

The car was not a police car, and when I pulled to the side of it he turned it off. I passed him then decided to stop in the median before Wesley Dr. and wait on him to pass so I could get the tag number. He passed and I called in the  K7713 SC to the city police. I would not stop for this guy if
