Surrey's worst drivers

Somewhere to name and shame the idiots that make life hell for others. Having moved back home from the US to UK, it's gone from New Jersey to Surrey. The only difference seems to be that the wankers drive BMWs instead of SUVs.

Platewire

I'm still trying to work out what to make of Platewire. It's a site for supposedly letting out your road rage online instead of on the road. The user interface has improved massively since they first launched. I'm not sure how they managed to snag so much publicity - on ABC news on the local NYC affiliate, which is how I heard about them, as well as WaPo and others. Firstly, you have to register to post, which is somewhat of a negative. They're definitely trying to make money off the idea, just not sure how yet. It seems to be an idea that requires a lot of registrants and momentum to really fulfil it's goals, but most people prefer some level of anonymity on the net. Still the more places where people can find out they drive like a dick, the better.

The fact that we limit posting ability to verified members has actually helped in minimizing the amount of invalid and deragatory submissions we receive. A community is forming and our members help guide the site as it grows. Our intent is simple, make the roads safer for all.
