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.

Load More Replies...But it's correct, it's a green car. Sorry, I'm autistic and need help with jokes sometimes.
In this case Green means enviromentally friendly, so this parking spots are probably for electric cars
Load More Replies...I wouldn’t say it’s bad driving. It’s just beating the system.
Yeah, I had to look at this one for a sec, lol!
Load More Replies...Took me a moment. I couldn’t understand why the passengers legs were back to front 😂
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 Boss said to strap EVERYTHING down. So I strapped everything down. (Malicious compliance.)
As a daughter of a truck driver, I must say this one got me laughing 😂
Well, if they twanged the strap after tightening it and said "welp, that's not goin' anywhere" it should hold fine.
I don’t even what to think about that. The video in my mind is enough already 😲.
Load More Replies...these people are so stupid i don't know how they managed to reach the age they are
I always say that! Like “how is this person not dead by now?” Lol
Load More Replies...Given the demonstrated logic, likely. If one goes down, they both are!!
Load More Replies..."Park according to the rules"
He's parking where red cars park, leaving room for the gimps in the handicap spot.
Load More Replies...She/he thought that red cars have to be parked as displayed in that road sign! Envy again! Remember that green car!!!!!
No not Russia. Judging from the spelling I'm guessing Ukraine
Load More Replies...It seems as tho a lot people don't realize that you DON't park like the red car because it blocks the other cars from getting out......a lot of people didn't seem to get that....and, yeah, I took the sarcasm into account.....
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’t*"
This is the problem with "Do it Yourself" trucks from Diy.com... this is why we have Professionals.
Load More Replies...Okay...I'm impressed. This is really stupid, but also really damn impressive.
Exactly. How do you load it like that. That's definitely a YT video I'd watch.
Load More Replies..."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. 🤔
At least in here it's illegal to bypass from the right.
Load More Replies...Saw a couple of stickers on a huge lorry the other day and I think it relates so; here in the UK we drive on the left, two stickers on the back of this behemoth and the one on the right said 'Overtakers' with a little arrow showing you the way to pass safely, the one on the left just said 'Undertakers' with a little arrow showing you the way to your fiery demise. Safe yet fun. Well done Mr. Lorry Man.
In the U.S., it differs by state, but in some states this is ticketable.
Yeah, this appears to be in Oregon or Washington (I see both plates), and it is a ticketable offence if you have a line of 5 cars behind you.
Load More Replies...The picture might be very misleading. I like to drive fast (really fast) and as much it is sometimes annoying when someone drives very long in the left line consider please that drivers who might not like to drive as fast as you is also allowed to pass a car slower then theirs
Do you mean speed or drive the speed limit?
Load More Replies...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.
Load More Replies...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...
Load More Replies...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....
"Only in Tennessee do you put your woman out on the top of the car."
she's more stupid than he is if she agreed to do that - hopefully they don't breed
Most likely they are hyper breeders tho....gotta keep the stupid gene going!
Load More Replies...OMG! Make more trips. If something suddenly happens she isn't going to be able to control the load, AND she's gonna get hurt. The fact that you are probably driving extra slow just means you are a road hazzard.
"I'll just hop the curb" he said, "it will be fine" he said.
That was my first thought too...just get out and toss it over
Load More Replies...They're lucky they're stuck on a mini sidewalk instead of train tracks.
Load More Replies...Now they're waiting for the kindergarten next door to let out. A couple of the kids said they'd help lift the car.
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.
A dealership my husband worked at got broken into late at night, I responded with him to the alarm. They were going to take the big TV they had for a giveaway. They left a bloody handprint on the purposely empty box! They had cut themselves breaking a window. The police thought it was hilarious!
Load More Replies...Just HAD to have that larger-screened tv no matter what the means is to get it home. America... (sigh)
Oh so much stupid in this one, makes me wonder how it has survived this long
"I have so many questions…"
You can lead a car to water, but you can't make it drink!
Load More Replies...if you can't fix it with duct tape, you haven't used enough duct tape
Well, you know: Duct tape is like the Force. It has a light side, a dark side and holds the universe together.
Not roadworthy... According to the UK Highway Code: "Using a vehicle in a dangerous condition LGV or PCV unlimited, other vehicles £2,500/ Obligatory disqualification if offence committed within 3 years of a previous conviction for a similar offence - 6 months min. Otherwise discretionary." Considering that car is only worth £200 max, the £2500 fine (plus three points) should be a deterrent.
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.
Don't have to roll your window down or lock the car! 2 for 1 no doors, no shirt, no problem, Dude!
Load More Replies...Sweet! The mullet, backwards baseball cap, no doors, and homemade electrical tape JEEP logo. You can just hear Sweet Home Alabama and sizzle of the meth pipe!
This is sooooo bad. The door on most vehicles give structural integrity in an accident. Jeep Wranglers can go doorless because they are designed to. They dont have a much of a roof to speak of.
The condition of this car would have you arrested the second a Policeman spotted you in my country. The car is literally in no condition to be on the road. Is this really legal in the US?
Load More Replies...Crikey... the road rules and traffic enforcement leave much to be desired wherever that vehicle is...
Can you retrofit airbags into a car that was designed and built before they were available?
Load More Replies...How can SO MANY PEOPLE HERE miss that this is a) a vintage vehicle, and b) A JOKE?!
This is on a vintage vehicle that has no air bags...you can tell by the tail lights. C'mon y'all.
Right, if you have a car without airbags you might as well joke about it
Load More Replies...As an owner of an old ford verona, I can relate to this. 👍
Wow you just taught me something! Please tell me you have a guitar and annoy your neighbors with "My Verona!"
Load More Replies...Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like this is just the back section of the car. See the wall in the top right corner? Shouldn't you see the rest of the car there?
This is like those people whose brains are so stupid it won’t protect itself by wearing a helmet on a motorcycle.
No, he's actually stuck like this ever since. It's a local landmark these days.
Load More Replies...Those are from people coming to take selfies with him!
Load More Replies...Me too. I have to assume this photo was staged. If not, the photographer needs to be using their phone to call the paramedics, not to take photos.
Load More Replies...If this were the Olympics, he would get gold for Synchronized Stupidity.
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.
Load More Replies...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!!!
Load More Replies...It looks like she may have stopped for the pedestrian crossing, and been struck from behind by the truck.
Load More Replies...sorry but if this makes you smile you should not been given this car at all !
"No disabled disc displayed and walked into the supermarket with the carpark only half full."
Absolutely. These are nice wide disabled spaces as well, properly useful unlike the others in this post where they were normal spaces merely painted with the symbol and not much help to many people who need equipment.
Load More Replies...Ya know, people that do this kind of crap should have to live a year confined to a wheelchair.
He missed the small sign saying "violators will be given reason to park here"
Round up 8 guys real quick and flip the thing over the hedge.
As a disabled badge holder I would have blocked him in to teach him a lesson
This deserves to be towed, ticketed and fined heavily. Full-blown A-hole.
Yes, Mr. Sheriff, he just pulled out in front of me and then slammed on the anchors. I saw a little fellow running away wearing a sailor outfit and going 'ack, ack, ack'. I don't know if it's relevant but he had a pipe and a tall, skinny girlfriend.
The boat wasn't properly secured to the trailer and they stopped too fast.
Load More Replies...How to change engine oil - "Squeeze the car until the old oil is fully extracted..."
Its fake. These lifts have stops that won't let this happen.
Load More Replies...Is there no failsafe to prevent this kind of accident ? Aking seriously.
This image is fake. Note the conspicuous lack of broken glass on the ground, and the fact that the tops of the doors haven't distorted one bit.
Load More Replies..."When you want a pickup truck but can’t afford it"
This is actually something I haven't seen before and that's rare. I live in the land of rednecks and hillbillies, y'all are giving them ideas.
How: You fail to make the turn because you are going too fast and are inexperienced, and the bike slides up the guy wire attached to the pole. It is more common than you would think.
Load More Replies...I'm guessing it was a tornado or some type of windstorm, but still funny af to imagine how a person would manage to do that
Load More Replies...There are far more easier ways to recharge your electric cycle.

Not for long...that poor engine and transmission is going to give out from being overloaded. You cant expect a pony to pull the load of an ox for long.
Good thing engines and transmissions for Chrysler minivans are so cheap.
Load More Replies..."More cyclists. Turns out they aren't very good in cars either"
Yep. Someone did that recently at my local park - barrier was still down at the entrance of the car park (to stop campers going in at night and sleeping there) and they forgot they had their bikes on the roof. Made a terrible noise. I felt sorry for them.
Load More Replies...Ha ha ha, happens more than you think. People forget the have stuff on the roof of their car.
Yeah, like the time my mum left a cake on there! It made a mess, I can tell you.
Load More Replies...The bikes together are probably worth more than the car carrying them.
Problem with that equation is how many will she take with her.
Load More Replies...Reminds me of that time with Kim and Kanye. Kim pulls up in the drive and goes straight round to the back of the car, gets down on all fours and starts blowing into the exhaust pipe. Kanye sees her and starts laughing. So he's there laughing his head off and asks her what she's doing. 'I got a bit of a dent when I was parking so I'm blowing it out', says Kim, dead-serious. Kanye, laughing hysterically now, says, between guffaws; 'It won't work! That's so, so stupid! You forgot to put the windows up!'
Clearly, she hasn't thought this plan to its inevitable disappointing end, and I'd snap another pic of her face when she realizes she can't lift those full containers into her vehicle.
This was during a recent gas shortage down south (USA), and this isn't even close to the worst I seen posted. I really expected to hear of a lot of bad outcomes; from fiery crashes, to house fires, and emergency room visits.
Load More Replies...I've witnessed a few people filling uncertified fuel containers with fuel- petrol in two cases. They pretend they don't know, but they do, fueling up as far away from the kiosk as possible. I challenged the customers and warned the fuel station staff and reminded them they could lose their fuel dispensing license if they allow this dangerous practice. That woman is dispensing diesel which isn't flammable/combustible like petrol is, but it is still a fire hazard and a VERY stupid thing to do. (The videos I watched as part of my forecourt safety course- where vehicles burst into flames because of situations like this- had a sobering effect on all the participants).
I saw them panic filling freaking plastic bin bags, and still people were surprised when their cars blew up.
As someone else pointed out on another site, these are the same folks who won't get vaccinated because that could be "dangerous."
"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.
But if they’re going straight, they’re going to hit you!
Load More Replies...I've gotten used to driving in Japan. Took me a minute to find the problem, LOL.
Seriously! My mom did this on the way to my foot Dr. on a road she's traveled so many times. It's not old age, she's just not a good driver. Easily distracted! Being able to walk and drive again is such a relief!
Load More Replies...Maybe she's British, I'm from the UK and it took me a moment to realise what was wrong.
I once turned out of a parking lot into a one-way street and started driving the wrong way (forgot it was one way)... got up to an intersection and looked at lights, none of which were facing my way, and suddenly clued into what I had done. I was so embarrassed. Luckily I managed to get out of the situation without getting in anyone's way.
How to destroy a U-haul transmission.... LOL - might as well towed it with a Prius!
Load More Replies...For remote parts of Canada (?) I find this a quite acceptable solution. Drive slowly and avoid the moose.
I'm not sure about this specific configuration but you can do similar in Mn when 5th wheel is involved
Load More Replies...I see farmers do this all the time. Usually a truck pulling a tractor (on a tractor dolly) and the tractor has it's trailer attached. At least 4-6 times a year.
I think their truck has broken down, and they've just discovered how much RV towing costs... considerably more than renting the 18' truck and car trailer (and to my knowledge, uHaul doesn't have anything that will pull a 5th wheel trailer).
Load More Replies...I like this one too. I like to imagine if you opened up the doors there would be a smaller car and it would keep going, like those nesting dolls.
You are about to witness the birth of a compact car. Isn't nature wonderful?
idk why people downvoted you so here have an upvote to raise it back up :3
Load More Replies...when the gas tank is on the other side, and the station is full?
Load More Replies..."It's that bad out here"
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...
Is it legal to drive around with that? Hope they don't get arrested. And real thieves will still find a way around that
I don't think they drive like that. They probably put it on whenever the car is parked
Load More Replies...What is the point of this? Does not prevent the mirror from being ripped off.
It’s a deterrent to stop it getting stolen. Burglars can break into houses, but it doesn’t mean people will just stop locking their front doors because of that.
Load More Replies...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)
Or people could just reverse into the parking spaces ?
Load More Replies...Me thinks its the road painter that got it wrong - i don't know where this is but seems like the natural flow of traffic parking is to park this way..........?
'Mr Bean' would like this. There was an episode where he overslept, so got into car in pyjamas, and got dressed while driving to work.
This would take what? A mechanic or an electrician? Which union do I sign up for?
Bit snobbish Momma Panda? Not everyone can afford a Ferrari.
Load More Replies..."P doesn't stand for Parking"
Person is "peaking" on drugs therefore unable to comprehend parking tasks
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.
Load More Replies...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).
Load More Replies...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
