More than 150 drivers in Swindon and Wiltshire have now been shopped to a driving website that displays their number plates.
BetterDrivingPlease.com was set up so anyone can report bad driving they see on local roads.
More than 13,000 reports have been made since the site was set up in 2006. Reporters note the number plate of the offending vehicle, what they did and where.
Reports from around this area include Swindon:100, Wootton Bassett: 30, Salisbury: 32, Winchester: 7.
Founder Andrew McGavin believes the county's roads are getting more and more dangerous.He said: "Despite recent laws banning the use of handheld mobile phones at the wheel, and corporate manslaughter laws forcing companies to put in place better driving policies, our roads are more dangerous than ever.
"It's now the norm to see dangerous driving on every journey you make. The message isn't getting through to drivers and the police aren't catching enough people.
That's what makes a database like this necessary."
The full number plates and details of these incidents are available on BetterDrivingPlease.com.
Andrew added: "The more reports there are on the site, the more powerful a weapon it becomes against the small minority of stupid drivers who make it dangerous for the rest of us on the roads".
