Worst drivers on the road. SUV drivers. I guess that when people get behind the wheel in one of these, they lose all ability to drive.
Women behind the wheel of SUVs
I work in insurance and we have stats for evrything. Turns out that women get into twice the amount of accidents that men do. Men have more serious ones. I've never been into an accident in my life. I also think that driving while on a cell phone should be just like getting a DUI. Lost license and all. We need to stop all this distracted driving, make people prove they can handle a car before giving anyone a drivers license.
Pay taxi drivers a decent wage. Most are working 12 hours a day for tips. We treat then as low-class peons but trust them with our lives. As important as they, as a class, to society they are on our mental par with janitors, food service workers, hotel workers, and and multitudes of minimum-wage workers. Lighten up!
My dad taught in the driving unit with the R.C.M.P. so I had an excellent teacher.
I think drunk drivers are the worst.
Good point but as a rig worker I easily put 30-35000 miles a year on the road and never an accident in over 40 years, to me the worst are farmers who always swerve a little left before turning right or coming over a hill there is a tractor with a 40 foot cultivator behind or a combine moving at a crawl. Almost wants to make me boycott eating. But if you ever want a city to shut down, be in Vancouver after a 1 inch snow fall
It's true. When the rains turn to slush, their brains turn to mush.
When ever I am in Van. and it snows it is very hard not to laugh at people, it is kind of rude but still it just strikes me as hilarious, almost out of laugh-in
Seattle drivers at the first sight of snow sometimes makes me wanna scream, but to be fair, Seattle or Vancouver has mostly slushy snow, which is a lot slicker than 'cold' snow.
As far as drivers go, I rarely had any issues with taxi or truck drivers, but what really irks me are distracted drivers, be that mothers with screaming kids in the back, or bimbos reapplying make-up while driving.
Ya the make-up and the woman that is a bad one. I am lucky as most of my driving being high way or bush trails so I don't see it to often
MiniVan drivers or SUV drivers, with DVD players on, driver talking on cellphone and smoking. Doesn't matter the sex, ethnicity or age.
One time my son, driving age, saw a person driving an SUV, overhead lights on, DVD player on, talking on cell phone and reading a book while driving 55 miles per hour.
I think it's about even. That's been my experience.
In MN first snows and rains bring out the pickups/suvs driving 60 miles an hour. Most of us pass them in the ditch. It also brings out the people driving slower than necessary too.
Point is we all good find both good and bad drivers from both sexes, ages, and ethnicities.
Very true and to top it off drunk drivers are usually male, but being a chauvinistic male at times I like a dig, cause and effect can get a chuckle. But seriously working on the rigs can be dangerous but the #1 killer in the Canadian oil patch is driving to and from work. I have worked 12 hour shifts all night and in the morn drive for 12 hours to get home, Pee, coffee and gas breaks only. One time I got home but could not get out of my truck and slept for 3 hours until my wife rescued me. Young dumb and full of .... Now I get a room.....
BTW like your new avatar again, reminds me of Kare Bush,
yummy
The worst??? Minivan drivers(gender neutral), and pampered soccer mommies in their suburban assault vehicles. Even driving a bright red Mustang, these people don't see you, they're just wrapped up in their own little pretend world. People wonder why I say I drive better with 2-3 brewskis in me than some people do sober, maybe more aggressively, but better.
I think truckers are the worst drivers on the road. You can get around the suvs and the oldsters who want to drive 15 mph.
I have noticed a lot of truckers will ride in the left lane and another trucker will be in the right. I think they do this on purpose to annoy people and not allow them to get around.
I put on my makeup,polish my toenails,read etc. while I am behind the wheel. Plenty of time because of the road construction and traffic jams. Just because some male may be in a hurry to buy a lottery ticket does not mean I will change my ways. People have to multi-task and the highway is a lot of wasted time.
In this area, the worst drivers are tourists who seem to think that sightseeing while driving is the normal thing to do, or are unfamiliar with the roads and will make a left turn from a right lane three lanes over or vice versa, or will suddenly stop on a road to get their bearings, or park on a bridge to admire the cherry blossoms, or don't realize you can turn right on red, or think driving 5 miles an hour on Pennsylvania Ave to admire the White House doesn't inconvenience locals who are trying to get somewhere, or who will back up on an expressway because they missed an exit ad nauseum. Next time, just mail us the money you would have spent here on vacation and watch videos of DC in the comfort of your living room.
I take driving very seriously and also enjoy it quite a bit in many different forms. I understood a long time ago (but unfortunately not in my teen years) that I owe proper behavior on the road not only to myself but to all dirvers around. Without trying to offend anyone i must say that vast majority of drivers are quite bad....more than 90%.
No matter asian or teenager, ******ed off rednecks or old folks. Applies to everyone. I have collected some statistical data myself on the road and found that only 6-7% of drivers will use a blinker regularely when merging or changing lanes. When you dont turn a blinker on you create potentially dangerous situations even when you think no drivers can benefit from it. In other words 1 out of approximately 1,680 drivers is a good driver.

Personally I hate the overly aggressive driver who acts it they own the road.
