I was heading home from my MIL house this afternoon. My 17 year old son was driving back home when all of a sudden some idiot in a Mazda three passed us doing approx 50 mph. Local road is 30mph and lower if it's near the park. The guy used no blinkers and this is a single lane on a busier north-south street. He went and did the same move 200 ft ahead of us. I told my son to speed up so I could get a pic of his license plate.
I have a dash cam, so it caught the whole thing. My son being the teenager hung his head out the window to comment. I told my son to follow the guy. The reason I do it, is that people who live on side streets are the main culprits for speeding and I wanted to see where this bozo lived. There are lots of people and kids that walk and use their bikes on these main roads and there is no excuse to drive over 40 MPH to get anywhere in these neighbourhoods.
After a few blocks he went back south. He realized that we were following him. He decides to stop roll down his window and says you shouldn't be following people to their houses. I said well you aren't driving properly and you are going to get reported. He says call the cops. I said yes I will. We left the scene first.
Went to visit the police website. They have an online reporting system and said if the driver gets two reports, then they will contact them. I typed up the report and submitted it. Glad to do that. I hope he learns to slow down or gets reported soon.
