ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - It's more than a middle finger salute for bad drivers. Some people in Alaska are expressing their road
frustration on Twitter -- the online miniblog.

AKBadDrivers is a Twitter feed that allows Web surfers to expose red-light runners, tail-gaters and other clueless cruisers. Annette Mullen started
posting info on bad drivers on her Twitter page. She commutes with her husband, who does the driving, and the feed grew from there.
She tells the Anchorage Daily News it's a wonderful outlet for venting.

KxV, Try this shoe on for size. Most ppl that tweeter are text-aholics. Would you say that is fair? To encourage text -aholics to text when they see bad drivers is not the best thing to do because, nut job text-aholic are not going to wait until they are not driving or only riding shotgun (passenger). If you can’t see that bend over, I have more shoes to lift you up so you can see.

It is illegal. It’s a text message isn’t it? Didn’t they pass that?

I would think most of America would beleive twittering while driving would/should be criminal. The comment was hypothetical also.
