“Deserve To Be Flung Into The Sun”: 50 Dumb Drivers That Are A Danger To Themselves And Society (New Pics)
Cars are one of the most dangerous forms of transportation, second only to motorcycles. But since they’re such a routine part of daily life, it’s easy to forget how risky they can be. Being on the ground doesn’t feel nearly as intimidating as flying 40,000 feet in the air, after all.
The real concern, though, is that on the road, you’re constantly surrounded by other people—unlike planes, which don’t exactly have to worry about traffic jams in the sky. And let’s be honest, people can make some pretty ridiculous decisions behind the wheel.
Just take a look at the pictures we’ve gathered of some truly questionable drivers, and you’ll see exactly what we mean. Stay safe out there!

Gee Whiz, I Sure Hate Being Able To See Anything At All While Driving At Night So Thanks For Illuminating My Visibility To Zero
Disclaimer: photos taken safely at a red light!
While no picture can capture the essence of this somehow not illegal car lights, I feel like the literal twinkle streaks is a good indicator.
This person was behind me (and several others) most of my commute. Lights like this clearly aren’t for the driver’s visibility benefit since many are affixed to trucks requiring a miniature ladder to hop in, so what is the point other than Main Character douchebaggery?

I legit just had this happen to me, less than an hour ago. I ran to McDonald's to get a late night snack and I have a pretty low to the ground car. It's a Honda Accord coupe and I had some dbag, who was clearly overcompensating, in an F-350, lifted, with those ridiculously bright lights, behind me in the drive thru. I had to sit with my arm in a certain position, in order to help me from being blinded, from his lights reflected in my mirror, for almost 10 minutes. They're the worst and I've pulled over to let some of them pass me, just so I don't have to deal with it.

Traffic Was Backed Up For Miles Because Of This Guy
Bi.Felicia 10 months ago
I don't think I've ever seen someone, underneath their car, in the middle of a high traffic intersection, trying to repair it. Like they're at home working in their own driveway or garage, all la-di-da, don't mind me. I'm surprised that a cop hasn't pulled up, yet, to rectify the situation.
In navigating the often perilous world of driving, it becomes apparent how easily people can make poor choices.
Illustrated by the same kinds of reckless behavior discussed in our collection of eyebrow-raising driver antics, it's worth exploring reckless driving habits that can make the road a more dangerous place for everyone. Keep this context in mind as we look at some truly baffling cases from today’s roads.

This Man Only Needs 4 Wheels And An Engine To Get Somewhere (Montreal)
David 10 months ago
Almost looks like a junk yard car. There is a local junk yard that had a couple of cars in really bad shape that ran but were missing various parts. They used them just in their own yard when they were driving out to the back to bring some engine or part back up to the front. In other words, basically motorized carts. But they didn't take those cars on the public roads.

How awful and sad. I'm not sure how much further that car is going to be able to make it, driving on that spare tire, that is trying it's hardest to support all that excess weight in the back. I'm also wondering how those boxes have managed to stay on the back trunk, while driving at highway speeds? 🤔

As I mentioned in a comment above, it is perfectly legal in 46 out of 50 states, to ride in the bed of pick-up truck with no seats or restraints (although 25 of those states have various age & speed restrictions).
Michael MacKinnon 10 months ago
There's a design / behaviour flaw here: modern pick-up trucks don't have a long enough bed and are treated as strictly decorative vehicles (compensation / rather than people buying a stationwagon) and so can't actually haul stuff safely. Back in the 70s my parents had a Ford F150 supercab -- the rear seating area was tiny, but you could carry full-length 2x4s safely in the back. Designed to actually haul things, not to double as the family car with a postage stamp in the back.

One time a lady backed into me in a parking lot. She had a cover over 80% of her back window. She asked me "how could you expect me to see you with my window covered like that?". The idiocy still blows me away... She also claimed it was partially my fault because I didn't "toot at her" before she hit me.

There are cases that puzzle me and perhaps there should be some kind of road psychologist? I think people too often transfer their domestic frustrations to the road to their driving style. For example, what I often encounter is a vehicle that has been following me for a long time calmly suddenly starts to overtake me in front of a pedestrian crossing and then the driver, probably preoccupied with his phone or thinking about an argument with his wife and snapped out of his lethargy by the desire to overtake me, notices that he is in front of the crossing so .... ... gives all the gas the factory gave to fit in, but still does not fit in front of .... so I have to brake... madness. Maybe the police should be able to send drivers to a psychologist?
