1. An electronic system onboard a host vehicle to allow an occupant to identify, tag and report hazardous drivers in the vicinity of the host vehicle comprising:
a sensor array on the host vehicle for detecting one or more adjacent vehicles in a vicinity of the host vehicle;
at least one adjacent vehicle display inside the one or more an adjacent vehicles visible to at least one adjacent vehicle occupant of the one or more adjacent vehicles;
a server, electronically coupled to the sensor array, a host display, and a signal transmitter, comprising a processor and a memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the server to:
determine at least one tag respectively associated with at least one pre-tagged vehicle, wherein the at least one tag has an expiration;
determine that the at least one tag does not exceed a limit of tags that can be issued for the host vehicle over a period of time; and
transmit, by the signal transmitter on the host vehicle, a signal representative of a tag type to a receiver on the at least one pre-tagged vehicle to define at least one tagged vehicle, wherein the at least one adjacent vehicle display displays the tag type over an image of the pre-tagged vehicle in a road image.
