A list of drivers who have road raged at me when I'm biking, or
that I have otherwise observed acting in a dangerous, illegal, or
hostile manner. The intention here is that the license plates are
searchable.
No vigilante action should be taken on the basis
of the information presented here; neither you nor I replaces the
justice system, and this information may have errors besides. The
intention of this page is to corroborate the stories and experiences
of others, perhaps to aid in deciding whether to file a police report
in borderline situations.
Please contact me if any of the reports on this page end up being
useful to you in verifying the identity of a driver.
- License plate 8XC-736, I believe Massachusetts. Asshole
factor 4/5. Driver was behind me at 19:40 or so 2020-02-29,
westbound on Highland Ave in Somerville, MA. Tried to pass illegally
close, and I signaled that he should not. Driver started yelling at
me at next stoplight. "I'll fuck you up!" I asked if he was making
threats and if I should call the police. He continued hurling
expletives, but remained in his car. Driver appeared to be a
dark-skinned male. Car had a handicap placard. Driver accelerated
around me after intersection, this time with a legal passing
distance.
- License plate 1PM-792, I think Massachusetts. Asshole factor
1/5. Driver was heading southbound at a leisurely pace on Cedar
St in Somerville MA at 20:45 on 2020-06-30, just sporadically
honking. Driver not easily visible in the dark. Maybe this is the
joy-honker I hear from time to time?
- License plate 761-AS1, assumed Massachusetts. Asshole factor
3/5. Aggressive and reckless driver. At about 14:34 on
2021-02-28, SUV turned left from Summer St out of Davis Square onto
Cutter Ave, cutting off pedestrians who had the walk signal and were
already halfway across. As they proceeded north on Cutter, they
tailgated another car, and started fishtailing to try to pass,
veering entirely into the paint-protected bike lane about 3 times,
and honking once or twice. They then turned left onto Highland and
peeled out (frame of car tilting from acceleration) and continued
west. Passenger was a light-skinned woman with blond hair.
- License plate 2ZPR 21, Massachusetts. Asshole factor 2/5.
Observed continuously laying on the horn for a solid 20 seconds
while stuck in traffic in Davis Square (Elm St, just after the main
intersection). Light-skinned male. Passenger dark-skinned male, got
out of the car briefly to possibly accost driver of car in
front.
