Saw this bloke in Liverpool city centre. He really should take a few more driving lessons. If he hasn't crashed his nice new car by the end of the year I'll be very surprised.

Mazda MX-5, black driven by male
Seen at 07:45pm on 19-Aug-2010 on A647 Bradford West Yorkshire
A moron of exceptionally low intelligence proceeds to overtake the car behind me and then mine on a doble white line, up a hill. Continues to harrass the cars in front by driving too close, weaving around in the road with headlights on (pop up variety). If the guy wants to kill himself and I would say that if he does there will be no great loss to society, then he can go away and do it quietly. Mo ......... read the full report

Mazda 5 MPV, black driven by female

I think the registration number is correct...
This woman decided not to follow the lane markings and preceded to undertake and cut me up while in the wrong lane. She then pulled out in front of various other drivers at junctions for the rest of the time I was following.

Mazda Mazda 3, black driven by male
Seen at 08:00am on 18-Jun-2010 on Butcher Hill/Headingley Leeds, LS6 West Yorkshire
This guy seems to think it's fine to drive with one hand in busy traffic and go round roundabouts and cut through short cuts at speed to avoid traffic jams. Not concentrating on the road at all. He cut me up at a mini-roundabout as he was too busy having a conversation on his hand-held phone. Then he proceeded to pull out in traffic almost knocking over a cyclist! This man is dangerous!!!

Mazda MX5, green driven by male
Seen at 04:15pm on 13-Mar-2010 on Victoria St, Lights By Stn St Albans Hertfordshire
Relatively quiet, not that many cars around. I'm following this guy in a MX5 sports car, and we go across a set of lights, whereupon, he stops right in the middle of the exit lane (no cars anywhere in front). This leaves me stuck in the middle of a junction. I thought initially "he's broken down", but amazingly no - he's stopped to have a chat with a friend who's at the front of the queue going th ......... read the full report

Mazda , silver driven by unknown
Seen at 05:00pm on 13-Dec-2009 on M1 Coventryish West Midlands
As I was overtaking this person in the outside lane, they sped up quickly (undertaking me) forcing me to pull back behind them. They then slowed down, causing me to try and overtake them again, but again they sped up so I could not. They played this game with me for a good 20 minutes.
At one point there was someone behind me in the outside lane, who decided the speed limit wasn't enough and so ......... read the full report
Driving too slow - report by SMJ updated 18/10/2009
Mazda , yellow driven by male
Seen at 04:30pm on 17-Oct-2009 on Wharf Road Wroughton Wiltshire
Whatch out if he is in front of you, he has no knowledge of the road markings as he keeps looking at his passenger while driving!! he also has no notions of the speed limit so doing 40 on a country lane with a queue behind him does not pose a problem. He also has not worked out what an indicator is!!!!

Seen at 06:30pm on 14-Jul-2009 on A361 Melksham Wiltshire
Stopped in front of a van leaving a traffic island, forcing the van to overtake. Waited until the van was parallel and accelerated to prevent the van from pulling back to the correct lane. Braked sharply when the van was inches away to pull in a short distance behind the van and followed very closely before overtaking the van in the face of oncomiing traffic and then cutting the van up.

As I pulled away from a give way this driver shot out at speed from the right hand road with no signal, and then drove very close behind me honking her horn. I stopped at the next set of lights and she was behind me mouthing obscenities and making rude gestures.

Whilst driving along Bocholt Way, a silver Mazda came to a stop in front of me. Bocholt Way is a two way, single lane by-pass with a speed limit of 40mph. I could not pass as there was traffic coming in the opposite direction. The traffic was backing up behind me as the driver spoke to some woman standing on the pavement. The woman got into the car but the car still did not move. There was a gap ......... read the full report
