Call 911 and report him as a drunk driver. Hopefully other drivers will do the same thing. He'll get a visit from the police if 5 different people report the same car and same plate for driving like a maniac at roughly the same time.

Actually, it only takes one call. My wife does it all the time 🙂

Well, not all the time, but she spots drunks about once every 2-3 months.

This reminds me of something awesome I saw last weekend. There was a sign on the side of the road about calling 911 to report drunk drivers. Half of the sign was broken off as if a drunk driver drove into the sign 😀
 
Reckless driving. That's what the prius driver would get charged with.

That said, a prius cannot really gun it. We also have no idea why this is really happening. It could be that the driver with the cam did something.

Anyway, I like that cam with the monitoring software. Good shit. I wish I had one of those.

Prius driver was an asshole, but I will say this, I have never been cut off more than when I'm driving my Prius. People just assume I'm going to be driving like I'm hyper-miling and rush to get around me and then slow down to a speed slower than I was driving. The Prius is the red headed stepchild in hierarchy of the minds of the driving public. We are the omega female and are barely not being driven from the herd.
 
Wreckless driving. That's what the prius driver would get charged with.

Well, I guess you're right that he didn't cause or get into a wreck, but I'm not sure that's a crime. Hell, I regularly make it to/from work on a daily basis without wrecking my car, and the cops have yet to charge me... yet.

It's because it's a Toyota. I've heard people say the same thing about driving a V6 camry. People see the Toyota logo and assume you're Asian, a woman, scared and possibly asleep.

They're assuming your accelerator is going to stick, so they're getting in front of you to prevent you from speeding out of control :sneaky:

I knew something was off about my wording. I just couldn't place it...
