"TARDS BEHIND THE WHEEL"

Paul, I'm glad you ain't over there. The way they treat they're motorcyclists over there, you
probubly wouldn't be around long.

Are you sure that's Asia?

It looks a lot like South Florida.

They are laughable..... if they weren't so terrifying!

It always surprises me that the motorcyclists always seem to get up and walk away...defying their shock and broken limbs....for a while!

Motorcyclists rarely bounce more than once....

The fear of "pain" always goes through my mind every time I get on my bike.

(Ozzy, for example, is totally fearless and invincible (mostly) on his Bike, similar to his Spitfire escapades...).

Paul..... ...!

The vids are from all over --- lots from Russia/e.Europe ....

Amazing how many were people cutting across from the wrong traffic lane

I suspect one or 2 of those may have been fatal ...

I hope your wrong on the fatalities Pete. but we all know how it is with car crashes. I certainly didn't
mean the accidents were funny. The bad driving is funny to me, not ha..ha funny, but.. "What the
heck are they doing with a licence?" funny. If that makes any sense.

Yeah, Your right Webb, This could just as well be "Anywhere U.S.A." .. ..

"What the
heck are they doing with a licence?"

My thoughts exactly! -- there are many countries with minimal required driving training and others where people will drive around never having passed a test, en mass.

I'm one of these people who believe that using a cellphone - especially texting - while driving should be treated a LOT more seriously. The number of accidents/deaths caused by this is horrific. I see - especially women --doing this every single day. You can always tell from behind, as the car is being 'corrected' every few seconds as the driver is distracted with that really urgent text that just can't wait.

Yes Sir, I think they should treat cell phone/driver offenders like drunk drivers. I mean as far as the punishment severity.
Nasty fine for the first offense (at least $1500.00), Fine and loss of licence for at least 3 months on second offense, then fines,
loss of licence for at least 1 year and jail time for any farther offenses.

There was a passle of insurance fraud going on around Toronto where someone would cut you off and slam on the brakes. Any time you rear end someone here.. you are at fault. Some would walk into your car against the walk light and throw themselves on the hood. Dash cams are the way to go nowdays. Two common denominators were: They always would sue for injuries and none of them ever spoke english at the accident site.

Same in Russia. In Russia they were backing into you and claiming you ran into them -- & why so many Russians now have dash cams. (& why there were so many captures of that meteor in Russia). These days most city streets are now monitored with CCTV so that should catch a few of them.
