Driving to work this AM, a car passed me and about 12+ others, by driving on the right hand shoulder. It pulled back into the lane of traffic about 8 vehicles ahead of me. A couple more miles down the road, it again passed on the right shoulder. Not too long after the 2nd shoulder pass, the state trooper came racing by and nailed him. Sweet.

Karma? Someone that stupid or careless should loose their DL

A few months ago, a young kid was driving very fast in the rain, spun out and took about 4 sections of my nice board fence (fixed my fence). Trooper gave him a ticket for doing 70 mph in a 15 mph zone. Fine alone was punishment enough.

Did his insurance pay for your fence?

 

[mjarrels]

No. His dad went to the local lumber yard and bought the correct materials and spent the following sat morning rebuilding fence. I did have his insurance data but I didn't notify them. 70 in a 15 zone was punishment enough IMO.

You may also consider stopping to let the trooper know what the guy was doing. Sometimes the officer may have just given him a warning. If another citizen notifies him/her that the driver was doing more than they saw, they'd be more likely to issue the ticket(s).

I hope the Dad, at least, made the son do the repairs to your fence instead of bailing him out and doing it all himself.

I won't hesitate to call the police if I see something dangerous.

A woman driving DWI lost control and took out a section of our plastic fence several months ago. Fortunately someone provided enough details to locate her and she has been court ordered to pay for repairs.

I was in my big truck on the interstate following a highway patrol. We were approaching an exit when a four wheeler coming from the other direction pulled into the median to turn around. The troopers lights went on which made my day.

I've had people do a u-turn like that in front of me many times including one that I just barely missed (and wouldn't have missed if I had been loaded.)

I was approaching a stoplight in a construction zone. 2-lane highway with right one closed off. Construction zone stopped at the light. Light red ahead and a guy pulls out into the left turn lane and runs up to thelight. Light turns green, he nails it and pulls back into the straight ahead lane. I don't think he even got out of 1st gear before the bubble top waiting for such an idiot came on.
