Okay. So what is your worse driver story. I'm sure we will hear some really funny ones.

Keeping this personal for me the idiot who slammed into me.

I was in the middle lane, he light had turned green and moved a little then stopped. A guy speeding up from the last two sets of lights wasn't paying attention or playing with himself or something and smashed into me shunting my car into the car in front of me. He was very apologetic and shitting bricks when he saw the driver of the car in front of me was around 7-8 months pregnant.

The worst driver story I know:

There was a guy who bought a car and said heavy traffic didn't bother him. He would cruise along and when someone cut in front of him, he would retaliate by cutting in on several other people while waving his arm, middle finger extended and shouting various obscenities. Mind you, he didn't retaliate against the driver who cut in on him--they are 'dangerous drivers'--he retaliated against drivers who hadn't done anything except drive on the road he was on.

Yes, he was a waygookin. A Canadian to be specific.

I knew a guy who was dating a k-girl and they went out to Outback for dinner. As you know, some Outbacks are on the second floor and use the main floor for parking. So she was driving and parked underneath the restaurant.

They finished their meal, and got back in the car. Instead of putting the car in reverse to back up, she puts it in drive. He said she started moving forward and quickly realized her mistake. But instead of braking, she panicked and floored it, crashing into the wall at XX km/hr. I don't know the exact speed, but the car was totalled. This happened on a Saturday night, and by Monday her parents had boughten her a new car.

My friend did some damage to his hand in the episode.

Female bus driver in Bucheon back in 2005. One day when she blew through a red light, she clipped the SUV already going through the intersection. On another day when she ran yet another red light, she t-boned an ambulance in the intersection!

riding along on my motorcycle. Bus in the left lane, van in the right lane, me in the middle. Van moves into my lane pinning me between the bus and the van. I honk, startle the driver who swerves back in their lane. The drive shoulder checks, sees that it's only a bike and swerves right back pinning me between the bus and his van at 80KM/H.

He was nice enough to leave me just enough room to live, so I was nice enough to leave a dent in his hood.

The 8 cars that continued driving over the zebra crossing after the lights went red?

This was last week. Basically you have to wait about a minute for all the cars to finish speeding through the red light before you even dare cross the street.

The tow truck driver who hit me. I was on a road and going the speed limit. He must of got a call or something and blindly whipped onto the road and clipped me. He stops and then starts yelling and shaking his fist regardless for concern of my condition. I pick my bloody self up and come at him with the intent to harm him. He sees me, gets astonished and before I can limp over their and hurt him he jumps in the tow truck and drives off.

The cops across the street in the station who saw it don't pursue him. They do check on me and tell me they saw it was his fault. Give me their card and tell me to go.

Thankfully it wasn't worse.

My X has the saddest funniest story I know of involving a car.

She was back in the States. She was driving my truck and rear ended a guy. She gets out of the car, locks her keys in my running truck. She checks the guy in the front of her and their is no damage.

The guy is nice enough to loan her his truck to run and grab her extra set of keys just down the road. (This is small town Texas, not uncommon for such generosity)

She gets her keys, comes back. Parks behind my truck. Then gets out and locks his keys in his truck with the engine running.

There are just too many bus drivers out there to begin to even start to narrow it down. Definitely some considerate Korean bus drivers, but most of them think that their Hyundai bus is a race car and should thus be driven as such from stop to stop no matter how horrible of a ride it is for the passengers.
