I signed up as a member and took apart any post where the person was clearly an idiot. The one that got me banned was a comment to a woman that claimed a "speeding" driver had "come out of nowehere". I told her to work on her observational skills as cars don't magically appear and it was people like her not paying attention to other road users that caused crashes. Unfortunately, they moderate all comments prior to publishing.

Driver stopped to assist me in my broken down BMW. Very courteous, even told me an excellent joke about a parrot and a magician on a cruise ship.

"OK, I give up: what did you do with the ship?". For those who haven't heard it.


But yes, most of the posters on that site are the sort of people who flash their lights at you after you have the temerity to overtake them for doing forty in a sixty limit. Being mentioned on that site should be considered a plus point.

Just trawling through the "ambiguous number plate" posts makes me want to commit mass murder on these losers.

Another person I fell out with is the guy that posts "one brake light out, please notify registered keeper" type things.

He posted one comment of "rear wheel wobbling dangerously, please notify registered keeper". I put up a rant about how he should have stopped the driver and told them himself if he really wanted to promote safer roads. My comments about the car ploughing into a bus queue after the wheel fell off because he hadn't bothered to inform the driver were moderated.

Aren't this lot running a bit of a risk when it comes to defamation and the like? Is it a good idea, putting up a website that identifies drivers (or at least registered keepers) and accusing them of stuff they have absolutely no way of proving/disproving? And inviting the police/everybody to use the site as a resource?!!! I have no patience at all with genuinely dangerous drivers but I would have thought that there are more productive ways of improving road safety.
And yeah, I checked my plate too...but I am angelic so I'm not on there either!
