Driven to the edge

If you drive as much as I do, you run into a lot of maniacs (come to think of it, the same thing applies to the web). The police tend to be less than helpful unless you've got tangible evidence. Actually, even when I've had evidence they have usually been useless.

A long time ago I came up with the idea of a web site where visitors could enter the license plates of dangerous drivers, and tell their stories. Looks like someone else had the same idea, and did a nice job with it: AboveAverageDriver.com. Thanks, Dan, it's a pretty cool link.

Below is my driving encounter of the day.
Black Acura (6880VC) Massachusetts
His sporty black late-model Acura gleamed as it raced up Rt. 1. "Look at me!" he thought, "I'm an important businessman!"

Expertly he changed lanes again and again, weaving in and out past those who dared get in his way. One manicured hand gripped the steering wheel while the other held his gleaming black yet sporty cell phone up next to his stylish gray coif. It was an oh-so-important phone call.

So important, in fact, that only an unreasonable monster could expect him to do something as low-class as signalling any of his lane changes. So he didn't.

Last seen heading north on Rt. 1 at 7:22 AM. Here's hoping he met a fiery and not-too-quick end.

Its still living...
