So I was driving the 3 kids in the minivan, obeying the speed limit…
Don’t know if I was an easy target, but on three separate occasions, I was confronted with an overly aggressive driver.
One of them flipped me off. One of them honked. One of them rolled down the window and yelled, “Bitch!” No joke.
I was infuriated.
Now, I didn’t want to return the gesture or get into a shouting match. Not only would it send the wrong message to my kids, but with road rage these days, you never know, right?
So, I went to my strength. Technology. And, together, with a great friend, we’ve put together a site that gives all of us a way to vent our frustrations at aggressive drivers.
But, we need your help.
First off, we need a name (but that can come later).
For now, we need an assessment of the experience of using the site (not design, just functionality).
- Does it solve a problem?
- Does it make you feel better?
- It it easy to use?
So, next time you come across some jerk on the road, here’s how you can retaliate without his (or her) even knowing.
- Use your phone and send a text message to 41411
The format of the message has to be:
DRIVR [2 Char State] [license plate#] message (optional)
For example:
Drivr MD Luv2Drv loser!!
Drivr NY abc123 jerk! - You can also use Twitter: send a tweet to @Drivr
- Or, you can just visit the web site and fill out the form
(plus, you’ll see a ranking of most aggressive drivers in every state…eventually)
So, what do you think?
On the wish list already, submit by email
