Here is the reality: jaydrivers kill.
Sadly this problem is not taken seriously enough.
So what can you do when you see or encounter a jay driver.
The first thing that you need to do is get the jay drivers license plate number. I have recently seen a lot of pictures of the sides of vehicles with posts about jay drivers. This is likely because of where one would be standing in relation to a cross walk as a pedestrian. Unfortunately the side of a vehicle is rarely traceable. Also record any other info you can on the vehicle and driver including color, model, identifying stuff (stickers, dents, etc) and driver description. But as mentioned, first get the license plate: all of this is pretty much useless without a license plate.
To be super efficient at this you may want to be prepared in advance. Use certain clues that are signs someone may blow through a crosswalk: speeders, lane changers, SUVs are all vehicles that have a higher chance of blowing through the crosswalk. So try to look at their license plate numbers as these vehicles come down the road. That way if they blow through the crosswalk while you or another pedestrian is in it, you have their license plate number and then can possibly take a picture too. It can also help to have a pen and small pad handy if you are walking in an area that has a frequent incidence of jaydriving.
So what can you do with the license plate numbers. There are now a number of license plate reporting sites. These include License Plate Reports http://licenseplatereports.com/, Zap Tag http://www.zapatag.com/ and Plate Wire http://www.platewire.com/
You can also use social media.
Just remember most jaydrivers are selfish people. Selfish people are self-interested and as such the last thing they want is to see their license plate on the internet and to have all the people they have faked being a half decent person to find out the truth.
