This Facebook Group Documents Examples Of Bad Drivers, And Here Are 35 Of Their Funniest Posts
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.
"Park according to the rules"
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.’
"This should be ticketable offense"
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.
There is a handicap placard hanging from the drivers visor. It is illegal to tow a car with a handicap sticker from a handicap spot in Ohio. I had one for two years. This person probably uses a wheel chair and needs the extra room. If a car parks too close you can't open your door fully. If they don't have the larger spots there's not much else you can do.

Provided they have the accessible parking tag, I have no problem with this. I worked in a job with a student in a wheelchair. We had a ramp on the bus. Spaces like this do NOT work for wheelchair ramps. If another driver pulled up next to this car, any ramp in this vehicle would never be able to fully extended. And yup, this is a car not a bus, but some wheelchairs can fold up and it's amazing what ramps can be rigged in cars. I have no issues with this.
This one is odd - why are the disabled spaces not more useful by being wider? Most of the ones I see/use are much wider to allow for equipment and/or people who find it a struggle to get out of a vehicle easily. Also many cars are wider than they used to be but parking spaces have not increased in size. There is something dangling in the windscreen - might be a disabled badge (what we call them in the UK though clearly not UK). Could be a jerk or could be someone who had to do this. Went to the dentist recently and there was a van right in the way of several spaces - turned out to be someone with a very compicated ramp and wheelchair set up. We can't assume...

In all fairness, these handicap spaces are the same size as regular spaces. Most handicap spaces are larger than regular. Maybe they needed extra room to get someone in a walker/wheelchair out of the car.
A lot of people don’t understand this; if a person is in a wheelchair that drives a normal vehicle they need two spaces to be able to get in an out of their vehicle especially when their is no blue stripped spacing spot for them to be able to fully extent their door and get their wheelchair in and out from the back seat
If you need to get the wheelchair out of the passenger seat and use it yourself this is the only way to ensure you can get in and out. That's what those white diagonal lines are for by the big handicapped spaces. This one may be valid use.
I think it's reasonable, the vehicle has a disabled badge, and that in NOT a proper disabled space! Just an ordinary space with a disabled marking.
Well in this case driver did wrong... But many accessible parking spaces are kinda useless for people with mobility issues.. The majority of them are the size of regular parking space, with no striped lines around to accommodate the need for extra space for chairs/ramps. Yes it does help to be able park closer to the store / building, but you still need to get out of the car....
Yeah there's no space next to EITHER of them to open a wheelchair and let someone get out from the car and pivot and turn to the wheelchair. Whoever parked here probably did that because wheelchairs are wide and that's why there's usually an empty space with lines next to handicap parking
when the white lines only give a few inches on a side, wha is the alternative?
Lack of parking skills aside. If both spaces were full, how would a person be able to unload their wheelchair? There isn't enough space on either side of the parking spaces.
There can be a legitimate need here so I don't want to judge.I have a friend who is very, very ill and would probably need all this space.
This gets me so angry. I saw a truck-type vehicle without a handicapped pass or license in the Walmart parking lot who pulled into a clearly marked handicapped parking space. Out piled five perfectly healthy young people (approx. age 25) who laughed and trotted into the store without a care in the world.
Now, if it was a Bugatti, I could see why they'd do that (I don't agree with it, tho). But not a Mazda.
There’s a sign at a local fuel station, “stupidity is not a disability”
Absolutely disgusting....unless the person if genuinely disabled and needed extra space, I don't want to rule it out.
I think that they need extra space, since I can see a tag in the car.

I suppose it is possible there's a handicapped placard on the back of the car. But I doubt it. And unless they have severe mobility issues that still makes it possible for them to get in/out of such a car, there's no excuse for using not one but two handicapped spots.
There's a placard on the front. You can see it hanging at the top of the window.

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 I’m disabled and this makes me want to turn Hulk. Can’t tell if they’ve got a disabled plate, but if so, that makes this even worse.
Do what we did at my last hospital that I worked at. We put every broken wheelchair or portable bed from the repair shop around the car then set up a movie camera and sign to report to security or car would be impounded by state police.
I never understand why nobody rolls up to this car in the own, and just pushes it out of those parking spots. No damage, no rage, no postits, not even a tow truck. Just push them out of those handicapped spots.
Not a hint of Handicapped designation. I hope that the person who took this picture called the cops. This is double the fine.
A special sort of jackhole managed this, I hope karma finds this person.
If there is one thing in life that turns me from a normalish human into a mad raving loony. It's this.
Woman, just read the comments from Calypso and Andy Acceber before posting...You and the others like you.

There's a guy in the 'States (on YouTube somewhere) who handcuffs or padlocks shopping trolleys or suitcases to cars like these!
😊😠😠😠💥my keys are wanting to leave some scratch marks down the sides, the boot AND the bonnet then call the Tow truck
It's illegal to tow a car in a handicap parking spot with a handicap placard, which this car has. Lots of hate for the disabled in the comments!

This really bugs me, bad enough it’s in a handicap spot, but both??!!
Just read Andy Acceber response. And take this back. To those who thought like me please read what he says as there could be a valid reason.

This, this right here. I'm so tired of seeing this kind of stuff. We had someone park over 4 parking spaces just so they would be in the shade. 4. For the shade. The only justice was that by the time they left their car had half been in the sun for a couple hours because the sun moves and shade spots change.

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.
"No disabled disc displayed and walked into the supermarket with the carpark only half full."
How to change engine oil - "Squeeze the car until the old oil is fully extracted..."
"More cyclists. Turns out they aren't very good in cars either"
"boy she high as hell"
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.
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)

one thing I really admire about U.S drivers is how polite they are (in general, of course) and how they follow basic common courtesy rules. I've lived in a lot of places, and even though there's always good, bad and in between, U.S drivers are, by far, my favorite. As a fellow driver, and also as a pedestrian (especially the latter). In the city I currently live, drivers park on the sidewalk (and have the audacity of getting offended when you complain, which I always do while laughing at them), they think everything is a highway (even narrow neighborhood streets where kids play) and everything you can imagine. The worst part? compared to the rest of south american, chilean drivers are the nicest. In Peru they don't even stop at crosswalks. If you're lucky, they'll respect a red light. Fun fact: two days ago, some idiot blocked my driveway, and when I went to tell her to move her car, she started yelling at me about how uneducated I was, and "threatened" to call the cops because I was "disrespectful" (because I told her to move her car, not only because she was blocking my driveway, which is a violation already, but because my street has no parking allowed during certain hours -clearly another violation)... anyway, I ended up calling them, and they gave her not one, but TWO tickets, which I knew would happen. The officer even told her she was being ridiculous and childish 🤣🤣🤣
Some of these are bad drivers. Some are just poor people trying to get by. Kinda sad really. To have to go through that is bad enough. To have some judgy a**hole post your pic as a gag without your consent makes it worse.
Being poor sucks. All the same, driving some cobbled together thing that's mostly duct tape and rust, without properly functioning brakes, tyres etc, is dangerous for other road users as well as the driver. If your poorly maintained car can't stop suddenly when it needs to, for example, that's an accident that didn't need to happen.

Even if the vehicle you drive is a piece of sh*t, make sure it is roadworthy and you have functioning brakes and good tread on your tyres. I've driven used cars for most of my life and though they weren't the prettiest to look at, I always made sure my tyres and brakes were in good shape.
A few months ago in downtown Portland (OR), I was waiting in the car when a little green Prius tried to pull into the massive space in front of me. They backed in and started pulling forward and hit the RAV4 in front of them (luckily the RAV4 had a bike rack so there was no damage to the car). They backed up a bit, then pulled forward and hit the RAV4 again. Eventually, they backed up and left.
Parallel parking is beyond many people... I park up a lot when I'm working and practice DOES help! As a general rule I park "nose-out" wherever I can so pulling out of a spot affords me a better view of my surroundings. And my approach to parallel parking is to measure the spot visually before I make a SLOW attempt, straightening up and calmly reattempting the maneuver if I don't succeed the first time (tyres onto the curb).

I wish I knew how to put pictures in comments because I have a picture of a car I didn't like that I saw. Not nearly as bad as any of these but the dashboard of the car was furry. Like long furry rug type idk it was weird I didn't like it
