Politicked Off

Platewire is a public repository and electronic forum of drivers by drivers. Using a drivers license plate, commuters can communicate their thoughts and feelings in regards to driving on todays’ roadways. Report and flag bad drivers, award good drivers, and even flirt with cute drivers. PlateWire was born out of frustration from years of driving along side drivers who seem to have no concern with anyone’s safety, including their own.

While this site is currently just a nice place to vent, this could easily be adapted in the next few years to tie in with a consumer version of the IR cameras currently in police cars. With the emerging long distance wireless network technologies, your car could constantly update you on your GPS screen with warnings about the drivers around you, gathered from databases on the internet.

You can already call their toll free number to report drivers on the road - 1(866)689-2155. You will have to retrieve it later on the website to post the plate number. Once speech recognition technology reaches open-source status, one can imagine dictating into the phone and having it entered automatically on the website.
