“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.

I'm going to tell myself it was a momentary lapse in memory. They immediately realized what they've done, pulled over, and rescued the cats. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Also, that they seemed to have obliterated, that brick mailbox post/encasement. They definitely were driving pretty fast and I don't see any skid marks either, which can be another indicator of drunk or distracted driving.

Traffic Was Backed Up For Miles Because Of This Guy
Bi.Felicia 18 hours 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.

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?

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).
