So the traffic condition these days is petty bad and what makes it worst if when you have some reckless drivers cutting in front of you without any signals or tailgating you really close and keep pressuring you to give way. I would have blogged about them in my blog but just worry about the potential legal issue.

Is it fine if someone would to write about a bad driver by giving out the car plate number to the public on the internet? What if I have a picture or even a video taken about them? I think a lawyer would be able to answer me but as a ordinary blogger, I think this is something worth to know if anyone would to share.

It is too easy to complain or criticise people. Instead of creating a hate blog, try instead to create a helpful blog where people would learn something from reading your blog, even if you are writing about the growing reckless driving menace.

Legal issues are expensive. The worst would be you will receive a polite but stern letter one day from an attorney (who is probably more afraid to meet you than you to meet him) warning you to remove the client's personal details from your blog. If you do get one of those letters, remove the personal details, but publish the letter on your blog. It means your blog is effective!

If it is on his blog, nothing to do with AW forum policy....

Yes, agreed. Teaching people is more effective. Just complain and criticize, people will just read and forget....

So long as you don't defame the person by reporting a false statement of fact.

The internet and blogging give bloggers a lot of freedom to write and express their views. But bloggers should be careful not to exceed the limitations of such rights to encroach into other people's rights. And posting scandulous or defamatory articles could bring about lawsuits which are very costly. Bloggers should feel free to express their views on issues and differences or disagreements are fair game. Comments that may be interpreted as personal attacks or affecting the integrity and reputation of individuals should be tackled sensitively and diplomatically.

You may ask, Is truth a defense to defamation claims? Yes. Truth is an absolute defense to a defamation claim. But keep in mind that the truth may be difficult and expensive to prove.
