Well, there&#8217;s now an app for that. Hawaii-based <a href="http://www.zapatag.com/index.php">Zapatag</a> allows you to report drivers who drive like crap. Actually you can also report drivers who drive well and/or have nice cars or interesting license plates.</p>
<p>You can add information about what the driver looked like and what the car looks like. Zapatag is almost like a Yelp for drivers. Photos can be uploaded as well and the state car tags/plate images are available which makes the search results look more authentic.</p>
<p>The service would benefit from a mobile application which would allow for photos of the cars to be uploaded. The only reason I am not crazy about a mobile app is that it could lead to some usage while driving which is a no-no.</p>
<p>The NYC MTA has a campaign running that tells rides when they see something, they should say something. I could see Zapatag working in a similar way. If enough people create reports for a particular car, perhaps the local authorities might want to look into the complaints. I wonder if an insurance company like Allstate or Geico would be the perfect sponsor or partner for Zapatag.</p>
<p>Check out additional Zapatag reports on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/05/11/zapatag-lets-you-shame-bad-drivers-online/">AutoBlog</a> and <a href="http://www.switched.com/2009/05/12/report-bad-drivers-online-at-zapatag/">Switched</a>. Here&#8217;s an example report:</p>
