spotmouth launches bad drivers reporting app

Hi,

I am a fellow Pittsburgher, and long-time bike commuter. I just launched a website called spotmouth that allows users to search for license plates and report good or bad driving habits.


Searches can be done by geography, model, plate (partial matches), color. I got the thought for doing this application when seeing bad driving and wanting to vent my frustration. What would be really cool is if we could see patterns of bad driving towards cyclists with certain individuals. Alerts can be set on each plate, so if you have a car, you can be notified if anyone posts information on your plate.


Here's a link to any drivers reported thus far: http://www.spotmouth.com/#drivers


If you have any comments, feel free to send me an email.


Thanks,

Phillip

2 questions:

I don't have a smart phone, can I just use the website?

Can you also report good, courteous drivers?

Is there any legal way that insurance

companies can look at these? It seems like

an insurance co would not want to insure

somebody who is a major liability. It would

be really neat to see people held accountable

No need for a smart phone, but you can use one if you want to.

nice! I always find myself forgetting that for every jerk out there, there's at least one calm, courteous driver. This is a good way to remind myself.
