The "Do Not Ride With List"

DO NOT RIDE WITH C AVERY, GOLD HONDA ACCORD. RUDE, RUDE, RUDE!!!
I have been picking up slugs from the Stafford Route 610 lot (behind McDonalds) for about ten weeks, now. This morning I had my first bad experience at the lot with ANOTHER DRIVER. There are very few riders on Friday mornings so I was sitting in the line of cars patiently waiting my turn. There were about 8 cars in front of me and 1 gray SUV behind me. A gold Honda Accord with vanity plates of C AVERY drove into the lot and cut in front of me and the car behind me. I got out of my car and approached him and told him that the end of the line was "over there," pointing to the end of the line. He said, "No. The line comes in from both directions." I said, "We've been waiting in line, obviously. You can't just cut in front of us." He said, "You can get in front of me, if you want to. Go ahead." When the line moved forward, I swung around him and got into place in front of him, however, the SUV behind me was so disgusted with the situation, they left the lot. I picked up two slugs, finally, and as I pulled out to leave, the guy in the Honda Accord had the nerve to flip me off!!!

Those posts were from two years ago, when Uhura and KNLNGUS were the "bullies/spammers" of the site.

GMHP was hea!

Like RetiredNavy, I don't know if I'm in the right place either, but my goodness I had a driver on the way home that kept falling asleep. We were all falling asleep, but I was seated directly behind him and when I woke up, I could see in the rearview mirror that he kept falling asleep. I certainly didn't plan to die today, but all I could think of was to continue to make noises and push on his seat from time to time. I didn't want to startle him or he could have just make some crazy move. I even let my cellphone ring and talked on the phone at one point. Gee Whiz! If you are that tired, don't pick up slugs and endanger other lives so you can get home quicker. Park somewhere and take a nap!

Thanks for the heads-up, Ret. Navy. I have been known to provide some "friendly advice" to drivers from time to time.

Once I rode with a woman who did not know how to (or chose not to) operate the defog feature, so as the windshield fogged up and she began to have trouble seeing, I kindly suggested she use the de-fog and showed her how. She welcomed the advice.

With agressive drivers I have even made comments like, "...everyone's in a big hurry today, but let's all get there safely!" Some drivers may not know that their habits are unsafe, or they make riders uncomfortable.

In your case, a kind reminder about safe driving with hands on the wheel may help. If not, I would say you are within your rights to demand safe, hands-on driving for the remainder of the ride and pass on riding with that driver next time.

Thanks for taking a positive step by posting your concerns here!

While the concept of reporting cars or persons who pose a danger to riders and/or the general public at large is commendable, the method undertaken in this venue is obviously wrought with potential issues that could degrade the beneficial aspects sought after.

Has thought ever been given to having drivers register their vehicles in some manner. Decals or placards with a number could be placed in the windshield. If the driver violated certain safety rules complaints can be made and, unlike this notification system, drivers can present their case as well.

I'm sure there is not a person out there that would dispute that there are two sides to every story.

I just read this thread 5 min. ago and am putting up an alternative. I am sure that there are issues with my proposal but couldn't we put something in place that is more righteous than this venue?
