People trying to outrun emergency vehicles instead of pulling over.

Wow! Angels watching over the oncoming driver!

Driving east bound on I-10 in LA between LC and Lafayette this past Thur mid afternoon. Three-lane section. I’m in middle lane. Left lane clogged by one of those no passers in passing lane.

Dark colored Buick SUV gets clogged in left lane. Does the cut over right across all three lanes (behind me) to then cut back over left across all three lanes, to cut off the clogger.

Cut me off in doing so (now have to go to confession b/c words shouted).

Fast forward 10-minutes, and dark colored Buick SUV is pulled over getting ticket. The feeling that gave me was like cruching a chirping cricket at 2am with foot.

Share the car details in case they post here. If see this, thanks for sending me to confession (overdue) and then making my day.

Not worst but timely you ask.

In Russia on a tour bus. The driver was sloshed and we careened side to side down the highway for 3 hours. Good thing there weren’t many cars in the USSR back then.

About 15 years ago driving in moderate mid-morning traffic on 610 North Loop in Houston, an economy sized car traveling in the opposite direction purposely drove up and over a concrete traffic barrier and landed in front of me and some other cars. The driver spun himself around and merged with the flow of traffic. Then with the car all messed up and parts hanging off of it, put his blinker on and calmly made his way off the Loop via the next exit. I was thinking "dude blinkers unnecessary at this point" happy to let you go wherever you need to go... and I am sure the other drivers agreed.

Seriously! If you live and drive in SFL you just try and forget them as soon as possible. If you keep rehashing all the close calls and stupidity, it will drive you nuts.

Let my wife pull the boat out of the way of launch once to see how it feels pulling one. I just meant for her to pull it out of the way and I'm in the boat so I can just jump out when she's done. Just freaking guns it like Nascar and I even fall over from a sitting position. She then slams the brakes, thinking I fell out of the boat, and tries to get out, yelling my name with the vehicle still in drive. She had to dive back in and press the brake with her hands, almost getting herself run over. Well, it caused a scene, I should say.

So I never liked her driving, a few years later, she picked me up at work, as my truck was in the shop. Incredibly, less than 30 seconds of her saying "see my driving isn't so bad," she blows right through a stop sign, never saw it, never checked up.

Friday, I experienced the worst driving I have ever seen.

I was driving east down Glenwood Road in Decatur, GA. I turned right onto La Mesa Lane. I immediately veered left to avoid some 8+ inch frost heaves, only to witness the Hyundai driver behind me use this as her opportunity to downshift and pass me on the right side while traversing said frost heaves. A literal shower of sparks resulted.

Fine. Maybe she didn't know how bad the pavement in front of her was about to become. Maybe she was transporting someone with a medical emergency. But then, when she reached the end of La Mesa Lane, she proceeded to cross into Snapfinger Road and perform a three-point turn, and then head back down La Mesa Lane in the opposite direction.

This is why I don't buy used cars.

Oklahoma against USC in January 2005. OU couldn’t drive worth a damn vs. the Trojans.

Driving to freeport from Houston to do some fishing one morning. Its early for me. 4am and late for the person driving the Chrysler 300.

It was all blinged out and was in the far left lane. 4 lanes wide at the incident. They just grinded the wall for almost a mile. Finally a wheel flew off. I thought I was recording with my phone in the holder but wasnt. Had to of be drunk driver or fell asleep. There was nobody on the road. I stopped and started backing up. Out of the fog 2 cop cars rolled up lights flashing. I imagine they hit something before the tony hawk grind

Driving to the airport early down I-10W right before College around 5am. Saw something that looked like headlights and realized it was a car heading at me, swerved over at the last second. Kept checking the news expecting to see a report on a fatal wreck but thankfully never saw one.

I always wondered how far they had been going the wrong way down 10 because that isn’t an easy stretch to get on then head the wrong direction, much less to not even notice

I see multiple contestants per day in Upstate SC. I truly believe some of the dumbest white people on the planet live here. And aggressively dumb. On a mission to prove to the world just how dumb they are.

Today’s example was a U-turn in the middle of a 4-lane, undivided highway. Despite the swingout, she still didn’t make the turn, hit the curb, reversed, blocked two lanes.

I created a hill with five cars in the opposite lane and a convertible with 4 bitches passing them in my lane less than a couple seconds away. I swerved to the side in enough time to see their pony tails flapping in the wind as they passed by. It took me a couple minutes to compose myself. frick those count.
