Default BEWARE of This Driver!

PA Plates:

GXR-7118

Incidents viewed generally between the times of 650am and 705am. The vehicle is a dark-colored full-size car: perhaps a Bonneville. The driver is an AA male, perhaps 30-40 years of age.


This is the driver whom I referred to before regarding reckless driving near the Holmesburg Junction train station. He generally comes Eastbound on Cottman (toward Torresdale), then proceeds Northbound on Ditman or Torresdale, Eastbound on Bleigh, and then proceeds Northbound on Edmund (toward Rhawn) and works his way (Decatur/Tulip) over to State Rd. via Rhawn St. It is probable that he is driving to the prison or another entity on State Rd.

This is the fourth time that I have viewed his reckless behavior. He drives at a high rate of speed, completely blows the stop signs without even an instance of slowing down, and actually passes all cars in the way. This is the second time that he has passed me (I don't drive like a snail; I just make complete stops) and this time we almost collided. He is entirely unsafe, careless, and irresponsible - it is very unlikely that he would stop after hitting someone. There was an AA woman driving in a similar, yet older car behind him this time. It appeared that they were together, and she exchanged with me the same words and gestures I with him.

I'm reporting this to the police and beyond. Please be alert.

I'd report it to the Corrections Dept also, especially in light of the recent incident. I'm not sure this person is an employee but I'd be more then willing to bet they are and would assume they keep info on the vehicles of the employees.

Good idea. Done - thank you. I normally wouldn't do this, especially because assholes are a dime a dozen, but this guy thinks he is untouchable. We'll see.

One of the Deputy Wardens used to live on Marple St, not sure if he still does. But he was always open to listen(on his own time) to any issues people in the area had concerning possible problems from the facilities effecting the nieghborhood. Ditman St has always been notorious for this problem and you also have tons of kids in the area heading to 3 different schools immediatley in the area and 2 local youth orgs. NFCS isn't even provided with a crossing guard from the city for a problem intersection like Rhawn/Torresdale.

Good to know, thanks. I'll let you know how far I get with the current contact.

It's so bad out there, crossing guards should be paid handsomely. Are they volunteers?

I know, I was putt putting in a 1970 Dodge Dart with holes in the floorboards like Fred Flintstone.

You said "Sike"; see why you are so cool?

You'd better get posting and defend me. People haven't said that we are the same person in quite some time.
