Have you ever called the police to report an erratic driver?

I did yesterday and it was the first time in my life I ever have. I was leaving a restaurant and got behind a guy who seemed to be driving a little...off. Hey, no biggie. Maybe just fiddling with the radio. I noticed him swerve and correct a few times, but still had no intention of doing anything. So we end up at a red light with him at the front and me behind, and then he randomly just takes off. Goes straight through the stop light (this was at like 9pm, and there other cars on the other side of the light from us stopped) like it was nothing. At that point I decided I couldn't in good conscious just let him continue to be a danger to others so I called 911 and gave them the tag and location.
Anyone else done this?

Sorry, bro.
Nature was calling.
And that's what I told the cop that showed up after my big dump.

Erratic or drunk? Or both? I've called in a driver who was obviously hammered once when I was in Memphis.
Guy was weaving all over Union Avenue. He had a Tunica, MS license plate. As he was approaching the exit for Tunica, my friend called it and said 'Watch him miss his exit then slam on the brakes right after.' Sure enough...

i called in a lady swerving across three lanes at 3pm one time. She was scaring the shite out of me.
I have actually thought about calling a friend in, but I can't do it. He gets fall down drunk and then drives. We steal his keys, he brings two sets. We lock the house, he jumps the fence. He needs to get a DUI.

A woman I know (no pics) had a boss who used the call boxes on the Causeway to report an erratic driver. The bad thing was that he just stopped his car on the bridge and not one of the crossovers to report the issue. The drunk driver rammed into the Samaritan's car and killed him.

I did in Maine once. Dude was all over the place.

I used to call in reports on other cars when I was traveling back to BR from Laffy and was slightly intoxicated.
Kept all the cops busy so I was free to Cruz.

I called 911 and guided them to the drunk driver that was in front of me.
She almost killed three separate cars on the highland road curves before putting herself in a ditch on HWY 621 in Ascension.
That 911 tape is filled with me saying, "Oh my God she's gonna kill somebody!"
That was some scary shite
I was getting frustrated bc 45 minutes AFTER the APSO deputy arrived on the accident scene, we were still waiting for a LSP officer to administer the sobriety test. Apparently HWY 621 is under LSP jurisdiction and they had to administer the test/arrest. Officer had her lift one leg off the ground which she immediately faceplanted on her first attempt.

Idk what the driver was, so I have no idea. And like I said I was just gonna ignore it until he ran through a red light. At that point I was like eeeeeeeh this guy could hurt someone. At the next light I was turning right but when I passed on his right and looked at hte driver it looked like a young-ish person just kinda staring slack jawed ahead. To be honest I think he was probably high.

I would have been tempted to pull over and piss on her

I've only called once. I was riding on I-12 West going towards BR from Hammond and car past me speading and when I looked in the passenger seat a woman was holding a baby, it looked like she was playing with the baby b/c the baby was bouncing in her lap. I called the state police and reported it the make and model of the vehicle, license plate, and the direction it was going. Don't know what happened after that.

I saw a guy drive down the wrong side of a four lane one day for 2 miles. I was on the phone with the police and blowing my horn and flashing my lights hoping that he would realize what he was doing. I follow him all the way to his house and he gets out of his car and he has to be 80 years old. His wife comes and out and wants to know what I am doing. I told her that he had just driven all the way home on the wrong side of the road. She says "sometimes he forgets where he is" The police show up and can't do anything because they didn't see him do it.

Yeah, on 190 in WBR. Guy was weaving all over the place. He turned off at Livonia before any cops got there. I hope he made it home without killing anybody. This was about 1 in the afternoon, BTW.

Had the same thing happen and called it in. He could not keep his car between the 2 lanes and the shoulders on both sides of I-10 eastbound. I called when he sideswiped an 18 wheeler. Followed him to a gas station in La Place and waited for the cops to show up. They ordered him out of the vehicle and he took one step before face planting. Keep in mind this was 10:30 AM
