The stupidest thing i have ever seen was a big indian woman breast feeding her baby on her lap while driving down cap freeway ... called the cops and they said there wasnt anything they could do except maybe talk to her and shake their finger at her !!

It's all over the world. We just got back from Italy and saw more bad driving in 10days there than a month here. The best was in Rome. We were out buying shoes, and there was a gap the size of a kitchen table between scooters in front of the store. Buddy drives up and figures he can squeeze his smart car in. He proceeds using the "touch" technique! Literally watching the bikes move before changing direction! The whole store stopped and watched as he performed this massive douche bag maneuver. When we left there was evidence he did this regularly by all the key marks on his car!

Coming home from Fort Mac last night I witnessed an SUV not once but twice pull some of the most dangerous and ignorant passes I've ever seen. First one there was an oncoming car and he decided to get back into his own lane at the very last minute (less than 100yds from the oncoming car). Thing is he had plenty of time to get back in his own lane but it was almost as if he waited to the last second and trying to kill himself and the other driver:nono:. The other driver almost came to a stop and probably needed his shorts changed.

Second dumba$$ pass was on a hill, in the dark with no shortage of traffic around. Again almost caused a head-on collision. I tried getting his license plate number but couldn't catch up to him and I didn't want to do 130 with the enclosed trailer behind me.

Funny thing is this was as I got closer to the city, around gibbons, namao area. Hwy 63 was actually calm and people were driving reasonably well (shocking, I know!). The new twinned section north of wandering river sure is welcomed.

Italy was amazing when I was there a few years ago, we would sit at an outdoor restaurant and watch in "horror" as we watched the way Italians drove. Priceless....

Rome isn't even bad. Toured Italy in April and Sicily is just awful. Stop signs are NEVER followed. Not many vehicles there without huge dents. It's amazing their horns aren't worn out the amount they use them

I agree it is all over the world especially in Mediterranean countries. But in Ecuador not only they drive like that they dont have any respect for human life ie pedestrians!

I was at the tail end of a 3 truck convoy with some co workers on Friday, and as we were going up a hill we all had to hit the binders as the lead truck got on the radio. A car was passing more semis coming from the other side, and narrowly missed getting back in. Would have hated to see that wreck.

I just drove back from Fort Mc last night too and the roads were slick but amazingly I had MANY small cars and SUV's pass me usually on an uphill pull????? And they wonder why there are bad accidents and deaths on that road? Thank god for good winter tires and four wheel drive!

One night a few years ago, I was coming home with our 32 wheeler and was passing an Economy truck pulling Super-B's and this 4 wheeler comes hell bent for election on a TWP road and doesn't stop, turns right, now he's coming straight at me . Meanwhile me and the Economy truck are cab to cab, I pile on the binders and the 4 wheeler sees all these lights coming at him and continues his right turn into the ditch. This all happened in about 200 meters. I don't mind saying, it took me a few miles to pull my seat cover out of my nether regions... I'm hoping that who ever it was that pulled out there that night learned a lesson.

This past summer me and a buddy were pulled off the highway and he was doing some cliff jumping into a little lake and I was sitting there on the back of his truck when 2 women in this minivan stop on the highway to watch. They put te van in park and didn't even put the hazzards on, I don't even think they noticed they were stopped on a busy highway in the summer time, note the semi comming up from behind doing 110kmh. I was about ready to jump out and gtfo then they realized that they were stopped in the middle of the highway and they pulled off to the side just before the semi creamed them.

This is all while driving semi.
Vehicles pulling out in front of me, when I'm only a couple hundred feet from an intersection.
Vehicles passing on a hill where there's a solid line. (When did they change the law? I thought solid line meant "do not pass" )
Vehicles passing when its extremely foggy out.
I see there is tons of truckers getting slander. I agree they arent profesional like the old days. How about going old school and actually pulling over the big slow semi turd and letting people by. In the 70s and 80s and 90s when we had real truckers this was the standard. Then cars can pass on hills double solid or not. I constantly battle truckers on the way to revy. Unreal bad driving on there part

Sure, how about I stop my rig, pull into the ditch, and lose any momentum I had. I drive on one highway, and one highway only. It doesn't have a shoulder. Oh I know. I'll just take back roads. Better yet, drive in the fields! This isn't the 70s 80s or 90s anymore. I'm able to pull every hill at 90KMH. If you don't like it...
