The Idea

Implement an eBay-like feedback system for other drivers. The idea here is to make the person's individual score an indicator of how considerate they've been, penalize those who aren't, and publish their standings to the public. Subject to abuse, so there would probably have to be some sort of normalizing mechanism where all your scores move one point towards zero every day or week. This would mean that you would have to be consistently good (or bad) to maintain any score. You also would be able to look back and see historical monthly scores, to see if the person is consistantly bad or just had a bad month. Also, the police would have the ability to see this ranking too, since it's public knowledge. If someone was -50 in a week, they might take a closer look at addressing the issue.

I thought of this idea when I was...

While waiting in traffic, I watch people bypass the entire line of cars waiting to exit the highway and cut in front of everyone. Following closely behind are the people who just drive on the shoulder past everyone. I'm looking for a way to promote driving courtesy. This is an embarrassment-based system, which usually works pretty well as a deterrent. Plus the fact that anyone (police, spouse, employer) can look up your plate #...that would be a fairly large deterrent as well...

I'd love a way to critique other drivers... unfortunately, there's only so much that can be expressed by hand gestures ;)
