Worst Drivers Ever!

THE FOLLOWING IS AN UPDATED ENCORE TIM MOORE BLOG:

Everyone knows someone who is a particularly bad driver. Maybe you’re married to that person or maybe they’re a member of your family.

The one common trait that all bad drivers share is this: they are BELIEVE that they are good drivers. Travelling 20 miles below the posted speed limit in the passing lane is seen as “careful”. Drifting in and out of one’s lane is never actually noticed and slowing a crawl to check out street addresses is someone else’s problem!

It was this month in 1966 that what could be the WORST string of traffic infractions were recorded.

A 75 year old male driver from McKinney, Texas received 10 traffic tickets, drove on the wrong side of the road FOUR times, committed four hit-and-run offenses and caused SIX accidents-----all within 20 MINUTES!

Ironic in a sense, since Texans-especially residents of Houston are consistently ranked as the best drivers in the country.

Here is a video clip of some truly horrid vehicular mishaps and near misses-CAUTION-some of it is pretty hard to watch:

Ouch!

Another bad driver record was set this month in 1978 when Mrs. Fannie Turner of Little Rock, Arkansas finally passed her written test for drivers—on her 104th attempt. Hope there was a general alert issued when she finally took the wheel.
