Have you ever reported a reckless or drunk driver?

No, but I have threatened to in the past. In my days working in licensed bars I have known people to become extremely drunk and occasionally attempt to drive home. On at least a couple of such occasions I have told them that if they drive away I shall immediately telephone the police, which made them decide to take a taxi instead.

Thank you for telling me this, since I also live in Southern California and often see reckless drivers. Since I drive down the PCH several times a week, it especially bothers me when I see reckless drivers on that road, because there are so many hit and run accidents on the PCH. Next time, I will report them. I never thought about doing that.

I don't believe that I've ever had occasion to take the license number of a driver and report it. That's not to say that there haven't been many occasions when I should have done but, usually, I haven't had the chance to note down the number. Our police are always grateful for this sort of information and I'm glad to hear that yours are too.

I've never been in a situation where I was able to get a license plate, but there have been a few people I would have wanted to report.

I have never but if i came across one i would not hesitate reporting

Actually, yes, I did. The gu scared the bejesus out of me, driving all over the lane late at night on the freeway. At one point, he had two wheels over to the side and I thought he was going to pull over. I wasn't going to pass him until he'd stopped. He wandered back in front of me again. If I'd been in a hurry, it would have been ugly.

Yes I have. I will do it again the next time I have to.

No not yet.But will if I ever see one.

Yes, @TheHorse , I will/do report reckless/impaired drivers when I encounter them. I also report any incidents where something suspicious is happening in a vehicle I am following, passing or meeting on the roads. Two incidents come immediately to mind. The first happened two years ago. I was driving up to Springfield and got behind an older gentleman driving erratically. He would speed up to the speed limit, then abruptly slow down to 20 mph. He did this several times, then pulled to the shoulder. Since he didn't stop, I passed wide so he couldn't suddenly swing into the front of my car, then told my phone to call the Highway Patrol. I reported that an older gentleman seemed to be in distress on the highway and told my phone to send a beacon to mark my present location to the receiving phone. The dispatch thanked me and hung up. Half an hour later, the patrolman who investigated the incident called me to thank me on the gentleman's behalf. He was having a heart attack and didn't know how to signal for help. He was old enough he didn't even own a cell phone to use in an emergency! The officer had seen him off in an ambulance before calling me. (I thought that was pretty nice of him!) The second incident was a few months ago. I was on my way home from working a late shift when I got between two vehicles who appeared to be trying to stay with each other. Neither of the two drivers was happy about me pulling into traffic between them, so the lead vehicle kept slowing down in places I couldn't pass while the trailing vehicle kept acting like he was going to ram my car. I told my phone to call the Highway Patrol. I gave descriptions and license plate numbers to the dispatch. She told me she had a patrol car approaching my location. Suddenly, I saw cherries start flashing behind the trailing vehicle... I pulled over but the other two vehicles took off! Since dispatch was still on the line, I told her I was the vehicle pulled to the side, so she relayed that to the patrol car. The officer on the passenger side waved as they went past me. The dispatch said they were thanking me for alerting them to the (they thought) two drunk drivers. You can meet all kinds on the roads!

Never had a need to do this one. I don't normally see a lot of them during the day and here on the islands it is so late when they decide to go home. Normally I am not out on the road at 3 in the morning.

Yes. An old woman who was all over the road and doing about 10 miles an hour with frequent stops. I don't know what happened, but I hope they busted her. Around here, we have a lot of seniors who are about ten years late for giving up their licenses. Most of them have dementia, and no one reports them at times. Or, they are reported, the license is taken away, and they drive anyway.

I guess it still seems kind of futile to me. It is unlikely anyone would get there in time to do anything. One afternoon, I was driving home from work on a curvy mountain road. The car in front of me was weaving crazily, the right wheels went off the rough shoulder several times, but the car swerved back onto the road. I slowed down to let that car get ahead of me, and he disappeared around the bend. A couple more turns, and I rounded the curve to see that car crashed into the side of the mountain. Several cars had already pulled over, so I continued on my way. I heard later that that man broke his neck.
