There’s nothing like the sense of adventure you get while sitting comfortably in your car, winding your way down a scenic path, with a good song on the radio. Maybe you’ve got great company in the car, keeping you smiling throughout. Maybe you’re planning a stop at the world’s best roadside diner later on. Whatever the case—you’re brimming with joy and happiness.

However, that’s an overly romanticized view of driving. Everything up above doesn’t happen all too often. In reality, the world of driving is… well, it’s imperfect to put it diplomatically. Road raging jerks, impatient drivers who will zoom past you because you were adhering to the speed limits, clunky cars, and accidents that seem like they’re from a comedy show are just the tip of the iceberg.

The popular ‘Bad Drivers’ Facebook group shows us the utterly hilarious and sometimes totally bizarre side of driving and we’ve collected some of their very best posts to help speed your way towards the weekend. Check out the driving pics and memes about bad drivers below, remember to upvote the ones that you enjoyed the most, and tell us all about what you love and hate about driving the most in the comments, dear Pandas.

The ‘Bad Drivers’ Facebook group was founded over 3 years ago, back in January 2018. Since then, it has amassed a pretty large following with its driving-related content. At the time of writing, the online group had just over 595k members. In the last week alone, there were a whopping 8.7k new members.

The group had 374 posts in the last month, which averages to just over 10 per day. Though that number can vary wildly. For instance, within the last 24 hours at the time of writing, there had been 33 new posts shared by members of the group.

The administrators and moderators ask that all members of the group be “kind and courteous” to one another and respect each other’s privacy. They’re very firm about there not being any bullying or hate speech, too. What’s more, any sort of self-promotion or spam isn’t allowed. The content has to be related to driving and, well, bad drivers in some shape or form. Random and irrelevant posts won’t get you much love on ‘Bad Drivers.’

Can someone please explain to me why everyone isn't just changing lanes? I know this is really inconsiderate of the first driver to be so slow in the "fast lane" but why not just pass him? UPDATE: Thank you informative pandas. 🤔

Driving is just like any other skill—the more experience you have, the more effort you put into honing your abilities (and talents if you’ve got any), the better you’ll perform. So being a good driver is about putting in the time and improving slowly over time. There are no shortcuts because patience, perception, the ability to keep cool under stress, and being able to react quickly are what’s needed. You can’t cheat your way into that, so be prepared to put in a lot of hours behind the wheel before you feel confident.

Confidence, or rather overconfidence, can be very insidious, however. You can’t ever fully relax behind the wheel because that’s when accidents tend to happen. You always need to be aware of your surroundings. Texting someone while driving is way out of line. Leave your 101 unanswered Facebook messages and 13 emails for when you’re getting a cup of coffee or when you’re safely back home.

It’s common sense that you shouldn’t drive when you’re sleepy or if you’ve had any alcohol. What’s more, you ought to adjust your mirrors properly every time you get into the car. Obviously, don’t forget to view your mirrors. And however fun the ‘Fast & Furious’ films might look, in reality, speed won’t get you anywhere but in danger if you lack the necessary skills and control. It’s always best to match the speed of the traffic and play by the rules. After all, you want to be a good driver, not a bad one. Right?

Have you seen the new Chevrolet Jeep crossover? It's fully functional with passenger view control and an open concept no-doors design.

Remember, she had to move the airbag out of the way, unbuckle the seatbelt, get out of the car, and pose for the pic. She barely made 5 minutes.

I totaled my first car the day I bought it. It sucked. I wasn't ready to drive or own a car. Fortunately, no one was hurt in my accident and it looks like the same is true for her. I hope she commits to learning how to drive better before her next solo trip.

I've always felt that the first car should be one that doesn't matter too much as long as it is perfectly safe and roadworthy. Can be a waste to give some new drivers brand new cars!!!

It looks like she may have stopped for the pedestrian crossing, and been struck from behind by the truck.

Good for her on making it out of the parking lot- lmfao I wouldn't be surprised in the least if this was caused by her being on the phone/texting.

New World Record. I assume it wasn't her phone used to take picture. That thing set the first record for shortest survival time that she broke just now. Not the first person I'd call if I ever needed a babysitter.

This is why I always advise people who get a new vehicle (new/newsed/used) take it easy and get to know their vehicle's handling and related limitations.

Maybe she got cut off or rear ended, might not have been her fault. My friends sister went to pick her first car up, and on the way home she was following their dad who drove her to pick it up back home, only for him to turn left and her follow through without looking. T-boned and wrote the car off.

On the plus side I see she swerved at a pedestrian crossing so as not to mow someone down. So there's that..............

Do not move. I don't care if the light turns green. I would sit as still as possible until this car leaves the intersection. I do not trust that driver and that kind of driving terrifies me.

I had a guy on a motorcycle speed through stopped traffic, hitting everybody's side view mirror as he passed. He broke mine. A few days later, I read in the news that some guy had been arrested for doing this, 500 miles away...

The truth about this picture, is that the street was one way and already put the parking spots that way. Few weeks later, due to traffic the street remaind one way street but in the opposite direction. So, basically, it's nothing wrong(except the municipality should mark again in the other way the parking spots)
