10 Worst Drivers Ever Caught on Video

John P.

By

Worst DriversPeople have car accidents. That’s not what this post is about. People also do stupid, reckless things. But we’re not focusing on that now either.

This is about people that obviously lack the requisite skills to drive a motor vehicle – who were also unfortunate enough to have the evidence caught on film.



10.) Are you going to tell me this person didn’t hear their car’s bumper dragging on the ground?

9.) It’s bad when you can’t even pull your car up close enough to pay for your parking:



8.) This is just mind-boggling. How does a truck hit a gas pump going this fast, and then hit a gas station?




7.) This Greek driver missed their exit, so what do they do? Turn around and drive their car against the flow of traffic of course:


6.) This is the worst parallel parking EVER! It’s obvious the car won’t even fit from the start:

5.) During a flood in Budapest this woman decides to go driving:

4.) Who let this person behind the wheel of a Ferrari?


3.) Ok. On this one you have to watch the guy whose directing the car. He gets more and more frantic:

2.) This is the worst driving I’ve ever seen in a parking lot:

1.) Frankly, I didn’t think this was even possible at this speed. This takes sheer talent:

    1. would have been the best if they had clicked the romote lock. IT looked like they just go out of the car like it hadn’t rolled.

    I’m pretty sure that my wife was the driver in video number 1 and 5. How did you catch her on tape?

    I hope she doesn’t see these comments ;)

    Geez, I can’t believe that Merc driver just backed up, checked her fender, and drove right off – I really hope she got caught.

  20. Maggie says

    Many people are on medication, both prescribed and over-the-counter, I think that accounts for a lot of looney driving.

    Great post John, this was my first time seeing most of those. Just FYI, it seems that YouTube may have deleted your Ferrari clip, as it is displaying their signature “We’re sorry, this video is no longer available” message.

    All the best,
    Jeremy

    Number 9 made me chuckle. Let’s be honest, most of us have probably had some trouble reaching out at some point or other.

  31. Neotrepreneur says

    Lol and good freaking Job at the driver in the top spot. Thats just plain humm impossible. O_O

  32. Sasha T. says

    Great videos. I saw a couple of shots like these that could compete for the title of the most stupid driver ever…. I’ll send you one particular video if I find it somewhere on my HD…

    S:

  33. Rhoody says

    yeah the philippinens:
    7) coming towards your with monster headlights and 50 meter in front of you they switch all lights of…
    8) having your hired jeepney-driver drinking a bottle of Red Hore(a strong local beer) on your ride home with the excuse: it is Fiesta in my hometown !!!

    cheers

    10 worst drivers…

    Well, I have lived inthe Philippines for about 6 years now, and a year ago I moved down south to one of the provinces. I can tell you there are some lousy drivers here, and combine that with the total disregard for any traffic safety regulation ever you have a serious problem.

    Things I see very regularly include:

    1) People sitting on the highway at night.
    2) No lights on a motorcycle at night.
    3) Overloaded public transportation, people are sitting on top of the vehicle or standing on the back holding on for dear life.
    4) People driving in the wrong side of the road.
    5) Somebody riding a waterbuffalo on the highway at dusk – this happened… No Joke :)
    6) Busses overtaking at breathtakingly speeds in a blind turn.

    We do have a saying here while driving: “Expect the unexpected”

    I hate how people like this can get away with it and it is always the innocent people who suffer at the hands of their stupidity

  36. Kevin says

    It just goes to show you that some people are not meant to drive. They are the ones that cause the accidents and the poor good drivers end up getting hit! Great vids

  38. John P. says

    Ryan,

    I can see what you mean… the flipping the car thing happened in one fell swoop and surely the lady didn’t expect it. The parking lot mess is just plain stupid. :-)

    John

  39. Ryan says

    i would actually say that the number 2 video was the worst i mean…how retarded are you to do the same thing over and over, same exact turn, and run into the same car..thats why are turn the opposite way your trying to get out from

  41. Travis says

    These people must’ve been talking on their cell-phones while driving. That’s all I can figure. I once worked for a guy who would drive his eighteen wheeler with his knees while taking notes on a clipboard and talking on his cell at the same time. I saw my life flash before my eyes more than a couple times while he was behind the wheel. Too bad I never brought along a video camera.

  42. dngloz says

    hehehe i drive about 2 hours a day, i see things like this almost every day =0) i should get a car charger for my video cam and record em i guess

  43. Prussel says

    I think the best was number nine… simply because of the fact that after they hit the gate, the women look to see if their poor Mercedes was dented… nevermind the GATE they just knocked over… and then they didn’t even pay!

    WORST. DRIVERS. EVER.

  44. sergio says

    wow, this is sad, even i drive better n im fifteen,n i drive stick shift, but yea funny videos

  45. Fred says

    I don’t know if you can call him the worst driver, but a nut drove through our mall in Augusta, GA on Wednesday.

  47. Paul Matthews says

    I am a Driving Instructor and I have seen lots of stupid drivers. All supposedly with a licence. Even the learners have witnessed some of the antics and wonder where it leaves them !!

  48. James says

    If you look at the last video (#1) closely, you can see in her desperate attempt to find the door handle after she flipped it, she pops the gas latch.

    I’m assuming it’s gotta be a woman :P

  49. The Man says

    Matt / Greg,

    You may be right… some sort of non-driver error might be a possible explanation, but there was definitely driver error involved as well.

    If you notice, the driver enters a hairpin turn at the same speed as the straightaway he’s coming off. Then, when he detects that he’s got no directional control he makes matters worse by turning the wheel completely to the lock position.

    A more experienced driver would have straightened out the wheel a bit and applied brakes. But I guess the whole point here is that they never should have let someone who would get themself into this situation behind the wheel of a Ferrari. :-)

    You wouldn’t ever see the guys at Top Gear getting into this mess. ;-)
