Default Cut off by some idiot on the freeway. Report OR Flirt

Now you can avoid doing something stupid on the road in retaliation and still get a little bit even.

Two Washington, D.C.-area men have created a Web site that allows people to post the license plate numbers of bad drivers. Mark Buckman, a northern Virginia computer consultant, told The Washington Post he's outraged by careless, rude or inattentive drivers. He's co-founder of http://platewire.com/Buckman said they have hundreds of messages from drivers venting over the idiots they encounter on the roads.

The messages have headings like "Maniac" and "Jerk on the Phone."

The site says it is not just for complaining. On the site's introduction it says, "Report and flag bad drivers, award good drivers, and even flirt with cute drivers."

I wonder how long before someone sues for defamation of character or something similar. After all DC is a town full of lawyers.

Not so hard as you might think, Yoop!!

I happen to have the inside scoop on this operation, and unlike 99.95% of the people out there, I know (as Paul Harvey would say!!)....The Rest of The Story!!

You see, there are actually TWO completely different hotlines operating out of theeir offices.

How do they screen the Nut Cases??

Hint: The OTHER call line that operate out of this same office is "The UFO Hotline!! :P
