On the other hand he may not score high enough to get himself nominated for the Darwin award
 
OMG he killed a inflatable doll! I hope they throw the book at him!

But on the social science side of driving{anthropology} I'm wondering if anyone else has seen entire families of bad drivers?

Speaking of "Stupid drivers" I love when someone waits to make their right turn in the same direction you're going, to take off right when you are right behind them, rather than sooner like 5 seconds ago, just so you have to slam on your brakes anyway. Or when they wait until you are within 40 yards, just to take off THEN for their left turn in front of you, even though you are the ONLY oncoming traffic.. Or when two cars go exactly the same speed, on a 2-lane highway only changing positions enough to not allow passing in either lane, at 7 m.p.h under the speed limit!

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
