Pick a lane
 Posted

This morning on my way into work as I was driving east on a 4 lane road and a car passed me going west. Not that unusual right? Only they were driving in the east bound lane. It freaked me out a little as I have never seen anything like that, never mind the danger. They were gone before I knew it, but it's the worst driving infraction I have seen...how about you?
People do a lot of stupid things on the road but what's the worst one you've witnessed?

the truck full of chicken that ran a red light and teeboned the rear end of the passenger side of my car--when I went to his trial, we were told that he had died in a subsequent truck accident

Hi Ryan
There are far too many to mention so I will only mention the last one heading east on 401 getting on the 400 North traffic was slow so I pulled to the right of the lane ( I was on my motorcycle) to see if I could see what the slowdown was and when I went to get back to the centre of the lane there he was biggest ugliest moron on the face of the earth right beside me. Well I pulled in front of him stopped and questioned his mental capacity, but the problem was he thought he did nothing wrong. I found out later he could have been charged with careless driving and that would not of bothered me.

The worst? I drive a truck in and around the city and I see dangerous and stupid moves each and every day. One that sticks in my mind was a lady pulling a u turn on Bay st. just south of Bloor right in front of me. All of a sudden she needed to go north, no signal, no look, nothing, while I do everything I can to prevent flattening her little SUV. She drove away without a clue.

Hey Ryan,
How about this. Driving along the 401 on my way home from work, when I approached a car going about 80-90 km/hr when everyone else is going 120. As I passed the female diver, she was on her cell phone talking away (no hands free). If that wasn't bad enough, she immediately switched hands and pulled up ANOTHER cell phone and started talking on it!! Who's driving the car?!? "What a TOOL".

Many years ago before cell phones were the norm I was leaving work at the airport at 1:00 a.m. and headed down the southbound 427. As I joined the traffic merging off from the 401 I came behind a car that was being driven on only three wheels, unfortunately it was designed to have four wheels. For only three wheels the driver was doing a decent job of keeping it mostly in one lane as the car teetered onto the missing wheel and drove along on the rear brake drum sending sparks flying then the car would teeter off the back brake drum and onto the front tire for a while then back and forth. I missed my turn off to go home while I followed this marvelous driver to see how far they would get, but several minute later along the QEW ( which wasn’t the direction I take to go home) the police did pull them over. Apparently the driver was so drunk they didn’t know they had lost a wheel??? I still today can’t figure out how they managed to maneuver the car as well as they did rocking on and off the brake drum.
