 Alert | You were wandering from the shoulder to the lane line, on the 347 driving a gold Alero with a rear spoiler around 2:30 PM on 11-29: Upon entering the Casa Blanca construction area, I had already been behind you for MILES!!
I pulled over behind the Officer, and gave your license plate number to the Officer.
He radioed ahead to an Officer, and I hope they found you; you idiot. I have ZERO tolerence for IMPAIRED drivers.
I cannot and will not let an impaired driver travel without calling them in.
I have MANY family members, from Husband down to Grand-children traving the 347, and if I see you! I WILL CALL IN!!!!

Well, okay, I am proud of you for making our 347 safer. We need more people like you. I have MPD programmed into my phone for moments like that  | |

Alert | We need more people like us, I know. Most people are on their cell phones and are probably swerving themselves. I lost my beautiful younger sister to a car accident, she was only 20 years old. Speed was a factor... No matter what the cause, the outcome is always the same... Someone that won't be going home to their families. It's been 5 years, and it still feels like yesterday.
I don't want anyone to go through what I have gone through... It has been so tough, and hard because she lost out on all the great things in life-marriage, first love, having children... People that put my life and other peoples lives in danger deserve to be put away for a long time. IT IS NOT WORTH IT. Sorry to be rambling, but the wounds of losing Amy are still VERY fresh. Thank you everyone. | | | |

Alert | | Granny5X, thank you for the very kind words. I always remind myself, that it's just not worth it. Even if you think you are a great driver, the person next to you may not be! Thank you again, that does help. My sister was the best, and the brightest light in my family. She will always be remembered, and was always making people laugh. She went through a lot in her short life, and still found the silver lining in everything. I never drive if I have had anything to drink. If I know I am driving home alone, I don't drink. It's as simple as that. Have a nice night everyone. | | | |

Alert | | No problem. You'll probably want to state up front that you're calling about a driver on SR 347, because that is also the main line. They didn't have a separate Highway Patrol number. | |

Alert | geewiz and lovecope my prayers go out to you and your families. However, we have to keep this thread going.
All of us that give a damn and are sick and tired of being challanged on the 347 and worrying that our loved ones or ourselves for that matter may not make it home, we have to program those numbers in our phones, and report any and all infractions that we witness.
It's up to us to make the 347 safer.

Anyone that needs the numbers just post it! | |

Alert | | I don't get it. The 347 is not that bad. The main reason there is road rage is because the road needs to be widened and people block cars from passing in the left lane. | | | |

Alert | I personally do not feel road rage is there because we don't have 3 or 4 lanes. Road rage exists on the 347 because people have no patience and short fuses. Roads don't cause road rage. People do!
