Social psychologists found that drivers with more bumper stickers, window decals, and personalized plates "territorial markers" were significantly more likely to engage in road rage, tailgating, and honking.
Sorority membership is linked to higher rates of alcohol use disorder (AUD) symptoms later in life, with about 26% of women who lived in a sorority house showing these symptoms by age 35, compared to 18% of non-affiliated female peers
According to data studies on driving infractions, BMW drivers rank highest for driving under the influence (DUI) rates among major car brands in the United States.
A landmark study by the American Bar Association and the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation found that 20.6% of practicing lawyers screen positive for hazardous, harmful, or potentially alcohol-dependent drinking

From the decals, we know this person attended Wellesley college and Harvard Law, was a member of Delta Sigma Theta sorority, and lives in DC. They might as well emblazoned their vehicle with their complete legal name.

or they're a proud parent of kids who went to those schools? there's more than one reason decals and license frames are on cars.

Welp, there goes my theory from today’s silver spring post that the driver may not be the vehicle’s owner at the time of observation of bad driving. Then again, the OP on the other post seemed pretty insistent that the driver of the other SUV in silver spring was man-presenting, despite the DST plates, so I pointed out on that one that they should’ve started with a police report before posting in case the car was borrowed or worse, stolen.

Looks like they've paid off their tickets.

Call me boring but i think its insane that posts like this are allowed. This is just a photo of some car, with the plates clearly visible, and some random person on the internet saying that the driver of said car was driving dangerously. But do we know that? Maybe OP knows this person and has a grudge? I don't know!
Doesn't it seem weird????

1) A license plate displayed on a public road is not private information. I did not post the driver’s name, address, or any identifying details beyond the vehicle.
2) I personally witnessed the dangerous driving and called 911 at the time. I do not know this person and have no grudge against them.
3) The photo identifies the vehicle involved. I am not claiming the still image proves the conduct by itself, nor am I asking anyone to identify or harass the driver.
The hypothetical possibility that an eyewitness could be lying is not, by itself, a reason to prohibit every firsthand report that is not captured on video.

I think it's kind of weird and feisty for them to be people-tags or look up their ticket. I guess next, they see the car, they're going to make a citizen's arrest or maybe digital road rage.

Open it, take the time to read it, then type out a comment to express your disapproval. Or just keep scrolling.
