I was out for a drive to take the wife and kids for an ice cream today. We were in a school zone so I slowed down to the speed limit and this red jimmy flew up behind me, swerved beside me, then proceeded to cut me off and almost ran us right off the road. I back right off while my wife got the plate number. I stayed a little back from the vehicle at the stop sign then watched these people roll down there window and start screaming profanity's at us while giving us the finger. Still no clue why, then the proceeded to cut us off again and drive recklessly until we got the hell out of there. We called them in, reported the vehicle, plate etc. The cop called us back and asked us to come in to give a statement. His exact words were "that persons a psycho" and was glad we came in as he had tickets written up for her and said she has done this many times before with the same male passenger.
She looked like a crackhead, same with the guy, no teeth, black gums, messed up face. My wife made a facebook name about what happened as it did scare her and people replied and said they had had similar encounters with her.
So always report a reckless driver, the cop said her license will probably be suspended and up for review after today and was very happy we came in.
Might I also add, he was GREAT with my 2 girls, was very nice to them and gave them stickers. Some have been hard nosed to kids in the past but this one was great to deal with and very appreciative. In the end it pays off to report people like this driver today as they will take someones life.

There are people who should not be on the road and more people need to make the effort today to get them off the road. I have made two or three reports in the past on crazy drivers.
I reported one guy passsing a line of cars on a double yellow line at speeds way above the speed limit. I pulled over and used the 1-800 number to call the RCMP. The dispatcher called me back about 20 minutes later to say the guy had been clocked doing 125km in a 60km zone and was charged. Made me feel real good, but I wonder if he got the message.
Well done, I commend for you for doing the right thing

Hi Bear OO
What city or town did this reckless incident take place.
Even if she loses her licence,she will probably continue to drive,and keep on
endangering other drivers.
Thanks

It pays off sometimes. I saw a vehicle driving down our back access road very slow, brake lights coming on periodically. Called the MPs and reported it. They called back later that day. Stolen car, four people in it, all outstanding warrants. Figured they were scoping the area for goodies to steal. Bye, bye pukes!
