Default The dumb drivers thread

Thought this might be fun, post pictures and videos of things you have seen dumb drivers do. YouTube postings are also welcome...

This was in my office parking garage this morning. This person parked their Highlander in the middle of the travel lanes next to at least 6 No Parking signs. It has been there since 7:30 when the garage was totally empty. They have sent out multiple emails trying to find out who's car it is. You can see the remainder of what used to be a parking line next to them, but when you are there this is clearly a travel lane, he is parked right under the directional signs for office suites etc

Oh man, I have years of dashcam footage saved on an SD card. Maybe I'll finally get off my *** and post a few clips.

People doing 50 in the center lane of a 3-lane section of an 86mph highway. Totally not a hazard.

In my 3P I like being first a red light because I get to gun it to my preferred speed. Nissan drivers always take offense to it and try to keep up at subsequent lights or after I reach my preferred cruising speed. It's kind of annoying

I might give this situation the benefit of doubt that the car just up and died right there...but you gotta put a note on the windshield saying that, and try and take care of it ASAP and not leave it there all day.

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia had an episode where Dennis and Frank were driving around eating a bowl of cereal. The show is parody, but then after that airing, I definitely saw someone doing that! Again, no pix....
