New App Let's You Rate Drivers Around You

You know those bumper stickers truckers have on their semis that say something along the lines of
"How's my driving? Call ____ to tell my company how I'm doing"? Well your car could soon have something similar. A new app called Blinkr bills itself as "like Yelp for drivers" in that you can rate the drivers around you and they can view your messages and ratings in real-time. Sounds like a recipe for road rage to me.

To post on Blinkr, you just enter the driver's license plate info into the app then express yourself. Here's more info and where you can download it if you're really that into giving feedback.

What are your thoughts on this?
