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

Old man in tan/gold discovery, sat in bus lane. I indicate to come in at end of bus lane he shoots up inside of me, blocking a cycle lane in process and blocks me from entering normal traffic lane.

Volvo C30, green driven by unknown
Seen at 02:15pm on 05-Jun-2010 on Woodhead Road Holmfirth West Yorkshire
Just found this is a Motability vehicle. Any how this car came shooting down Woodhead road in Holmfirth and overtook dangerously. This driver didn't care about anyone in his surroundings. The driver was an absolute loonatic and on the 30 mph he must have been easily 50-60 mph and nearly hit the rear of my vehicle as he was going too quickly. He then overtook a load of vehicles dangerously.

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!!!

Ferrari Unkown, red driven by male
Seen at 02:00am on 08-Jun-2010 on Leeds City Centre Near The M1 Leeds West Yorkshire
Kept trying to race me on dual lanes in Leeds. It was at 2am and so the roads were pretty much deserted. Speeding, then stopping and waiting for me to become level again before doing the same again.
A complete and utter idiot.

Unknown vehicle , white driven by male
Seen at 03:15pm on 26-May-2010 on Leeds Inner Ring Road Leeds, West Yorkshire
This was a truck driving right up to my rear end. If I had needed to brake he would have run right into me. He was speeding up all the time and I was having to speed up to avoid him.
REALLY SCARY!!!

Mitsubishi L200 Van, black driven by male
Seen at 07:15am on 24-May-2010 on M62 (Eastbound) Junctions 24 To 27 West Yorkshire
WHAT A MORON!! Thinks it's really clever to drive whilst using a mobile phone (not hands-free!) whilst speeding in the fast lane and tailgating.
Was on the phone from Junction 24 until at least Junction 27 (that's where I came off thankfully!)

This driver was a total idiot, he was weaving all over the road, overtaking with other cars coming towards him and forcing his way back into line of traffic. Just generally being a dangerous idiotic driver

asian male "driving" overtook lane of traffic then turned left at traffic lights. Did this from the right hand lane cutting up those who were going straight ahead. No signal-no sense-probably no licence or insurance. Another drug dealer?

This driver ignored the traffic signal and went through red light. I was turning right and i could have hit him, on top of all that when i looked at him he stuck his finger up at me. About 2 minuites after i was behind him after both of our routes come together, he knew it was me then he decided to slam on and because of this i hit him from behind which everyone knows its going to be my fault but ......... read the full report

Audi A4, blue driven by male
Seen at 06:00pm on 08-Mar-2010 on A652 Batley West Yorkshire
Driver cut in front after overshooting a crossroads and then braked causing me to emergency break! The driver then ran a red light (a good 30 seconds red too) and parked up and waited for me. It then attempted to pull in front of me again. With no regard to anyone, it accelerated through some more traffic lights contravening the filter lane by going straight on. I have this on video also!
Cutting me up - report by VideoMan78 updated 11/03/2010
Ford Mondeo, silver driven by male
Seen at 05:30pm on 11-Mar-2010 on B6128 Ossett West Yorkshire
At a roundabout in the right lane to go over the roundabout as the left lane filters into the first exit onto a dual-carriage way. This driver, an older bloke with a passenger, was in the left lane and cut across the chevrons into my lane with inches to spare. No apologies or waving. Shocking driving and its not the first time but I have this little beauty on video as my phone was recording!
