A new website is giving motorists the chance to shop other drivers who have caused a nuisance on the road, it has been reported.

Betterdrivingplease.com allows drivers to post details and descriptions of road users behaving badly, according to the Mirfield Reporter.

While reporting people may not recoup the cost of repairing damage or a van insurance policy no-claims bonus, it could be that drivers feel satisfied in getting their own back.

It is "time for road users, pedestrians and drivers to report abuses", commented website coordinator Andrew McGavin.

"We all see it every day but few report it - time to report it to each other and let's build a transparent database that police can check their records against, making our roads a safer place," said the official.

A recent comScore survey found that more people are using the internet to purchase car insurance in 2008 than this time last year.
