Driver of white car plate number 417-WMJ 2/24, 70th and Main. Don’t you see people who are crossing the street when THEY have the right of way???? Why do you keep right on coming at them, just to turn right in front of them while they are walking there????? Open your eyes! They had to stop short just so you didn't hit them, and THEY had the right of way, NOT you, so YOU should have stopped!!! Watch for people crossing the street and STOP to let them go FIRST when they have the right of way!!! What’s wrong with you drivers??

LexusLoser would pull up inches from a car in the left lane who was legitimately passing slower traffic in the right lane of the I-94 and stay there until the car in front pulled over into the right lane. Then when no one was in front of him, he drove at about the same speed as the rest of the traffic. Watched LexusLoser do this 7 times, twice it happened to me, before I had to exit. LexusLoser must feel no one has the right to be in front of him.

25 August 2012. On the main road of St Croix Falls, southbound entering town, the driver of a sedan with WI plate 259-NYK tailgated another vehicle while flashing his brights several times even though the other vehicle was actually going 5 mph over the posted limit. At first opportunity, driver of 259-NYK roared past the other vehicle in a clearly marked no-passing zone. Ok, we've all seen idiots like this before, right, but here's the weird part-- after passing he proceeds through town at (you guessed it, right?) 5 mph over the posted limit, the exact same speed as the vehicle he just had to pass in a no-passing zone.

The left lane had ended, and the road was already down to a single lane. Mr. F250 sped to over 70 mph (in a 55 mph zone) to get around my wife and I, moving onto the left shoulder and kicking up a cloud of dust. Such a dangerous maneuver deserved the honk my wife gave him, after which the driver passive-aggressively slowed to below 55mph for the next several miles.

im not 100% sure if the plate is right but im almost positive it is. i was traveling down i-43s in the right lane. go to pass a semi that was in the left lane and this asshole comes flying up on my bumper and gets so close to my car that i cant see the bottom half of his windshield! i put my 4-ways on to let him know he's to damn close and he backs off. we get pass the semi he does the same he does the same thing but to change lanes and cuts off the semi. im losing my cool at this point because he has almost hit me twice in a half mile and i blow my horn at him so he decides to cut me off and slam on his brakes. ill admit i gave him the finger when i passed him but as far as im concerned this guy deserved that and a lot more. he then decides to get next to me and gives me the most retarted looking wave i have ever seen. i wonder how light on his feet he is?

Followed this guy for a few miles through construction on Hwy 100, (108th st) south of Mayfair. He was yapping on the phone and trying to leap frog ahead not using any signals. I ended up letting him in and ended up 2 cars behind him turning left onto North Ave. He takes up 2 lanes while turning, then decides he wants to get on the Freeway and cuts back in front of me . No big deal. He is going 10mph on the ramp while riding his brakes. I have both of my kids in the car, so I move into the Carpool lane and pass him. He guns it and drives me into actual freeway speed traffic. He then slams on the brakes and swerves behind me. Then passes us on the phone with his middle finger up and yelling that we are stupid Mother Fuckers. Older gentleman (60's) with white hair, white mustache and sleeveless black t-shirt. Faded out license plate.

You are yet another person running red lights on 68th and state, Friday the 11th of May. Three people, including me, are waiting to cross with the green light, and after it had already changed to green/walk, there you came, running that red light! What is wrong with you? I can't believe these drivers do that ALL the TIME!! STOP AT THE LIGHT! Go back to driving school to learn the rules of the road because you don't know them!!

WI Plate: 606HMG 08 Blue Hyundai Elantra Has some Indian sticker in the drivers side back glass. Every weekday 7:15 - 7:30 AM Hwy M Northside of Madison. I witness this every weekday unfortunately. She dangerously cuts everyone off everyday.. She doesn't care who or what you are driving or how fast she will cut you off so we can gain 1 or 2 spots.. If she gets stuck behind you she rides your ass majorly and if she's in front of you and you follow her closely she will do the "brake

  I was run off the road this morning on 45S bound coming from West Bend. This guy was weaving in and out of traffic at a high rate of speed. There was only a few feet between the rear bumper of the car in the right lane and my front bumper, this guy just cranks the wheel and didn't care he was going to smash his car into mine. If I wouldn't of pulled over into the gravel he would have sideswiped my car. What a wonderful way to drive. Lice

I look at her, she looks at me, then moves up 2 feet...after waiting 2 mins i give up.

What's the hurry?

nuttyst00l

Wisconsin drivers suck!
It doesn't matter whether there's sun, fog, rain, sleet or snow.

1) Pass on the right on a single lane road when someone is turning left.
2) Fail to stop for pedestrians in crosswalks (even when clearly marked) and school in zones.
3) Tailgate someone that is driving the posted speed limit on main arterials and side streets.

Get a life and get some skills...

burgundy station wagon/truck 5:45pm 9/30/08, who turned right on 70th and greenfield

 Keep your remarks to your self. People cross to that island on 70th, ALL THE TIME, and none of them run into jerks like you or get those kinds of remarks from people driving by. I was just unlucky enough to do so. People can also get hit, when they cross by the walk sign and have the right away but jerks like you keep right on turning in front of them even though they have the right of way and are walking in the middle of the street

They see you waiting to cross the street, and they don’t put a blinker on so you have no idea where they are going and when thee is a lull in traffic, instead of waiting for you to cross for 2 seconds, they hurry up and you have to wait for them. Why can’t they one, put there blinker on so you know in which direction they are going and two, wait for someone to cros

Lane runner

 560-KBH This Jeep driver ran all 4 lane of traffic behind me as I was trying to merge into the next lane. As I was signaling to continue merging, he slowed down in FRONT of me so that I almost missed smacking into his left rear side. All this while I had a baby and my mother in the car! So I am writing this to let off some anger and to warn others about this driver's behavior that, even with baby on board signs, he didn't care who he hurts.

 Nice finger, queenie! Too bad that's all that is visible when you drive. You may want to consider getting a pillow to sit on! Look out everyone for 746LDX it's a VW dark gray, and the driver is too short, she can't see the hood, so she lags too far back, and heaven forbid if you get too close, you will get her "magic" finger!! And that is ALL you will see!!!

 I really do not feel safe driving anywhere these days. People are so ignorant and stupid that it makes my head hurt.

I take a bypass (aka, the freeway) to work and back every day. Read: freeway = speed limit 65 mph. Now, Wisconsin is notorious for its awful winter driving, so any other time of year, you'd think people would take advantage of safe, dry roads and would at least go 65? No. This bypass is relatively new, and most people tre

Steering 101

Has anyone else in the Madison area noticed lately how people can't seem to stay in their lane anymore? It seems like on any road with 4 or more lanes, even in heavy traffic, if there's a curve in the road some drivers can't steer their car well enough to keep it in the lane. I've come to expect it, and I have to honk to wake people up. It's really bad when you have someone coming at you riding up the yellow line, and someone next to you on the right who wants to straighten out that curv
