I used to tell my husband not to yell or flip off any other drivers when he was in the truck with me! 3:)

And therein lies the danger of having advertising on your car if you are not going to drive responsibly.

Among the many reasons I do not wrap my car 

Seriously ... I am a very safe driver. I do not talk on the phone or text while driving.  

  She needs one of those bumper stickers that says, "How's my driving?" with an 800 number.

OH NO!!  I have a personalized tag so I HAVE to drive like a saint!!  LOL You'd think everyone who has a wrap or personalized tag would realize that too, Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, Broker, Tacoma Washington!

We were driving behind a pizza delivery guy that was reckless. I called the number on his vehicle and talked to his manager. The driver was still in his car and just returning to the pizza place. Gotcha!

Paul,

One of our clients said it was the worst thing she ever did when she had a smart car wrapped.  She got rid of ASAP.  A

I haven't a problem with wrapped vehicles but I do have a problem with bad drivers.  Not having your car wrapped does not give you a free ride to speed and be erratic, on the phone or otherwise!  

I was passed the other day, on a highway marked 80 kph by 5 cars in a row, all driving at least 120kph.  All cars passed on a double line, with a curve coming up; an accident just waiting to happen.  Luckily the police were around the curve and EVERY.SINGLE.ONE.OF.THEM got pulled over.  I slowed down to a crawl, put my window down as I passed them and gave them all a thumb's up!!!!! 

And that's a great reason not to have your name and face all over your car!

Anyone with a wrap or personalized license plate should be careful to be on their best behavior when driving!

I don't have a car wrap but I've considered it.  If I did my driving would be a lot better....

I passed an agent with signs on their car not long ago. Police had pulled them over on the exit ramp just outside of Leesburg.

Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, Broker, Tacoma Washington - I am sure driver is someone else...

You should have called and reported. The vehicle would be easy to describe and track down.

It may be a good thing that I do not have a wrap.

Now distracted drivers are said to cause more accidents than drunks.  

I think I'm actually a pretty good driver, but we all make mistakes and that doesn't make us bad drivers. I sit on the fence with putting advertising on my car. 

That's why my wrap makes me a better driver.  I don't text while driving, so I don't want people calling me to complain about my driving.  The last ticket I got was in California in 1980.  I plan on keeping it that way.

You should have called, Paul. She needs to know that her driving has a negative effect on her business.

Sounds like 'an accident waiting to happen' Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, Broker, Tacoma Washington .  She must have no real clue 'what' she is advertising - I sure wouldn't stay too close, just sayin' . . .   

You should!

I called a Broker friend one time when one of the agents blew a stop sign and almost had an accident.

Sounds like the perfect sort of competitor in your market to drive new clients right to you!

That's why I don't make my car distingquishable from others.  I've told the story many times of "QN REEN" who cut my mom off in 93 and I still remember the plate!

Probably something with big egos.

That is the reason I do not have my lincoln wrap.

I live in California.  That practice is often known as defensive driving along the 405 Freeway.   I bet you she would answer if you called.   

Dicey is as dicey does....

Not a fan of the wrap! Someone will take it wrong!

They have to pay for their high insurance rates some how - I think they believe wraps are a form of bumpers - you know like the amusement park bumper cars LOL

Same thing happened to me so i snapped a picture, not sure but thinking have sending it to them on FB

Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, Broker, Tacoma Washington I'm sure it was an important lead that couldn't wait. LOL Good thing you were able to get out of her way.

Oh, my goodness, I would have no problem calling xxx xxxx and letting her know that she will be very easy to identify when you call the police because of her erratic driving or texting  

Such folks, long ago, abandoned the pursuit of peer approval and have embarked on their personal journey of Success Theater and Vanity Metrics.

They care not what you think, and will be unable to hear what you say. However, they do have a 'shrill' dimension they rely on consistently.

But you DO have an obligation to disrupt her day before an innocent is harmed.

You really should have. Can't stand the people that text AND slow down now to do so. Like that is safer?

Good question.

EGO.  Period.

Some people will do anything to be noticed....

Thanks for sharing your experience.
