I phoned it - hands-free, of course - and suggested that if she wanted to sell her car, she ought to drive a little more safely, in order to sell it in one piece, and not to a car wrecker! I couldn't help but chuckle as I watched her, phone to her ear, look all about to see where the call was coming from!!! I didn't give my identity away... Since then, as I drive around with vehicles that do display their contact details, I am aware of the 'drivers' that I would do business with, and those I would not, simply based on their driving. It says an awful lot, in my opinion. I don't make calls to drivers anymore (!!) - I thought later that I could have helped "Little Miss Side-Swipe" to create more road havoc as she reacted to my phonecall!!!!! But, if I were in the market for anything and the driver was a dud, I would vote with my wallet.

I ahve often been tempted call the number on the back of some trucks and instead have just chosen not to deal with the company. I completely agree Karen.
