|  Do you drive like a fool?
For those that drive...you run into morons daily, I'm sure...
I've been contemplating making a website along the lines of www.moronicdrivers.com or something similar, allowing people to comment on people that have ticked them off - or maybe a nice comment (not likely!). My questions are:
1. Do you think it'd serve a purpose? (Be useful / entertaining ... or just a waste...)
I think it'd be funny to see, at least once fairly well populated, just how stupid some drivers are (granted, this would be a while down the line)...but at the same time - I couldn't remember a license plate number for more then a few minutes, generally speaking... that and the fact that you'd have to do so until you had net access.
2. If you think it's a good idea, other potential domains you think would be nice instead...would be? (If any!)

i'm pretty sure this is illegal...
You can't just go around publishing people's license plates.

I enjoy blowing by people, driving slow in the fast lane, using my left blinker to turn right(and vise versa), braking really really hard infront of people just to see their faces in my rear view mirror, and most of all I love right seat driving when my wife is at the wheel.

@joshd
Congrats!
@naerskine
Now that's just pure fun...

It's perfectly legal to post license plates (US Law), make/model of the vehicle .. and get this.....even the PHYSICAL description of the person in the car. The internet isn't a court of law. The opinion is driven from the people viewing the site. Besides, why wouldn't a license plate publication along with make/model be allowed on the interwebs? People are displaying them on the road in public anyway.
Actually, you can also post digital pictures. Yes, it is their personal property....but they are using their property on a publicly accessed roadway. Therefore, just like taking a picture of someone's house, (as long as you aren't stepping on their property) it's perfectly legal.
