I think that is some seriously wrong stuff... It borders on vigilantism.

The "wink-wink" crap is kinda funny, though.

on the new sig pic. That's hot.

I think the website is good and bad.

The good:

1. it lets people vent without violence
2. it warns others (if the plate is easy to remember)
3. many of the stories are entertaining
4. my plate isn't on there yet

The bad:

1. complaining on a website will do very little, especially on a small site that does not seem very popular (so far)

I checked that too... I'm not on there (yet) either.

You do make some good points; venting without violence being the one I most agree with. I guess I just don't see why people need to vent at all. Yes, I get pissed when people cut me off. Yes, I cus and scream at them, but I just shrug it off. Hell, I can't even remember the last car that cut me off. I know it happened but I can't tell you when, where, how, or who. Let alone a plate number.

I guess what I am saying is that I don't see the need and I would really prefer that folks just relax a bit more when they drive.

I know... I know... I'm just dreaming.





Thanks on the sig banner comment. Cale took the shot with Aaron's camera last weekend. He did a DAMN good job!

Do you know what venting means? (just picking on you, I see your point)

Oh... Right...

I meant publicly venting.

I think it's a good - but pointless - idea. Better to write up a rant about somebody rather than commit any acts of road rage. Aside from the fact that it's a relatively obscure site, it's pointless b/c there's no repercussions to the driver at fault. Nor does the driver doesn't know she/he has been flagged, so they're free to carry on with their bad driving skillz.

But there are worse/more pointless things on the internet, I suppose.

Everyone needs a hobby. I get irritated in traffic as much as anyone else but posting to that site could easily become a full time job with the amount of stupid drivers around here.

Incidentally, I am not on there either.
