    Hello, Should you report bad drivers that go over the speed limit, unsafe driving or drunk? I would think that all of us want the roads to be safe and not have these types of drivers on the road. Would that causes problems if you do?

    No I don't. except once over the cb to johnny about this four wheeler who tried to commit insurance fraud on me. Only time I felt good about watching someone get pulled over.

    Snitches get stitches.
    You better ####.

    Kidding. Use your discretion. I once cut a guy off in PA at a 'right lane ends' - forced him to cross the 2x-yellows... I flipped on the CB and he was going off like nobodies business - totally justified. I apologized to him for the next two miles.

    I've called 911 on obvious drunk drivers, and on rare occasion I've called a company to report some really bad driving, usually only if it's really aggressive road rage kind of stuff.

    I've only reported 1 driver in my time (and to his company, not law enforcement). He'd drive like a bat out of hell until there was oncoming traffic or a curve, then he'd slow to about half the speed limit. I try and pull out to pass and he'd gas it. The reporting was more out of the fact that he was either deliberately being a dick, or lacked the confidence to drive. Either way he pissed me off lol.

    I wouldn't report another rig even under the worst conditions, but i fantasize about shooting out their steers. might do it one day if they're enough of a dick.

    Drunk, yes. Unsafe, only if they tried to kill me. Speed, no.

    I was walking past the mental hospital the other day and all the patients were shouting, '13....13.....13.'

    The fence was too high to see over, but I saw a little gap in the planks.

    I looked through to see what was going on.....

    Some ####### poked me in the eye with a stick!

    Then they all started shouting '14.....14....14....

    That's when I learned to mind my own business.
