Such as that happens around here frequently.

Have been on the highway and  have reported drivers license plate # to the local State Police for  exceeding speed limit & driving erratically racing in & out of cars. I've also reported motorcycle drivers who also were  driving negligently .

I wouldn't. You just don't know what information people may have and how they may retaliate against you. Nothing is private.

Re: W. ould you report a reckless driver?

Yes, I would.  I would report anyone who is doing something wrong and harming others or potentially a harm to others as reckless drivers are.

Re: Would you report a reckless driver?

Years ago, I reported a school bus driver who was taking children home from a camp that my daughter attended for several years. I drove directly to the camp and asked to see the manager and spoke to him. My daughter is in her 40's now so it was a long time ago.  She was not with me that day.  The manager thanked me,  I did not send her the following summer.

You'd spend your entire rush-hour drive on the phone calling the police...if you were in Phoenix...    100 mph is NOT unusual on the freeway here...

Re: Would you report a reckless driver?

I would report a reckless or speeding driver in real time.  I wouldn't report it three days later.  What would be the point?  Actually, it's kind of silly.  The police can't do anything based on what someone claims happened and a license plate number.  But, I definitely would have used my cell phone to report the incident as it was happening.

Re: Would you report a reckless driver?

We reported one just hours ago. It seems like one car was trying to get away from another. They were using the suicide lane going over 100mph the one doing the chasing almost hit us. I hope they got stopped. We were so worried they were going to kill someone. We've never seen anything like this before.

Re: Would you report a reckless driver?

Last week, I did call on a truck driver that had the Only handicap ramp blocked.  There was a number on the truck, hows my driving.  I was going to let it go, but the truck was there before AND after my dads appt. (Over an hour).   I was lucky he could walk around the truck, he has a rollalator, but someone in a wheelchair couldn't get around.  It was in front of a big medical building.   Rude!  And there for an hour, it wasn't 5 minutes.

Hearsay doesn't apply in this instance.
