Just wondering what thes most amazingly stupid thing you've seen drivers doing while driving?
While out yesterday an oncoming driver was eating an oversize sandwich with both hands while steering with his elbows !!
Few weeks back going round country bend, oncoming woman driver coming straight for us in too low a gear with engine revving at near max, got her phone to her ear with left hand and trying to change gear with right, !! :shock:
Whats your stupid driver storys ??

    The one that annoys me is drivers crossing over into the oncoming lane to park on the opposite side of the road, then they can't make their mind up exactly where to stop, so keep on going forward, straight towards me approaching on my bike, probably not even seeing me coming as they decide exactly which shop to stop outside.

    What surprises me is that parking on the opposite side of the road is legal in this country!

    once when i was a passenger in a car on motorway... looked over at the car in the next lane and the driver was reading the paper. Not the Sun. A big massive feck off paper like the financial times, you know the ones that unfold really big! he couldn't even see out of his windscreen let alone hold the steering wheel. i was completely amazed that anyone could be that stupid.

    I've seen a woman reading a book while driving along in slow traffic. But the worse I ever saw was a bloke with a DVD player propped up on his dash board, and a film was playing!! :shock:

    My wife told me a story about another driver eating a bowl of muesli on the run to work...

    I saw a woman the other day texting on her mobile phone with one hand and had a sandwich in the other. She was making a right hand turn whilst negotiating on-coming traffic. I think she was steering using her forearms.
    The problem is there’s a low police presence on the road. These people need to receive massive fines and loose their licence before they kill someone.
