re: Do you ever call in bad drivers?

Twice for hit & runs that I witnessed.

Friend's parents own a company that has some trucks with the call this # to report unsafe driving. When we were on the road for spring break, we called to report every unsafe driving situation we saw. Wasn't until we made it to FL that we realized we needed to report ourselves a few times.

His parents were obviously pissed. Few years later his dad was laughing about it and told us it took the 3rd call before the receptionist realized who we were and what we were doing.

I called in a drunk driver and followed them from Highland/Siegen to Prairieville where an APSO got there just after the driver wrecked in a ditch

Watching this driver cross the median on blind turns on Highland telling the 911 operator "she's going to kill someone..."

It was fricking scary watching this person narrowly miss head-on collisions for 5 miles

I don’t generally begrudge speeders or generally aggressive drivers, lest ye be judged. One can be in a hurry and still drive safely.

I have reported frankly impaired drivers.

Not necessarily. I have a heavy foot and drive well in excess of the speed limit and if traffic is in my way, I will dodge in and out of lanes to get around them, if I can do so safely. I'm sure some, including you, would consider this bad driving. I do not. I am a safe driver, just a fast driver.

This is me. I am not darting and weaving in and out of traffic or cutting people off or anything, and I always use my blinker, but if there is plenty of space to go around you I am going around you.

I've called in drunks drivers who were all over the road....so yea.

This confirms that you really are a terrible person...

Despite what you believe this combined with excessive speed is not safe driving. You're putting others at risk and if someone tries to get out of your way when you're changing lanes at high speed you are unsafe.

What you describe as safe driving is actually reckless driving which is not safe.

If it's a driver in a corporate vehicle, I've absolutely done it. If you're gonna drive like an asshat and endanger others while representing who you work for in their vehicle, I'm gonna let your boss know .

I was heading to BR from centreville one everning after hunting. Guy passes me hauling arse and weaving all over the road. Saw him almost hit two passing cars head on.

Called him in and saw him get pulled over. I had to stay on the phone until I saw the cop sitting in the trees then tell them I had just passed. Cop came hauling arse around me and pulled the guy over.

Called in 2 different times to 911 and both I believe were warranted. 1 was a man in a gas truck harassing an old man in a Ford ranger. He was trying to get him to pull off into the median by merging into his lane every time the Ford tried to pass him. This was on I-20 around the Cheniere exit. The second time was a lady who looked to be passed out at the wheel, but her autonomic cruise control and lane departure was keeping her semi in the lane at around 45.
