Worlds Worst Drivers?

[Structo]

Checking out the Russian crash videos.

They seem to have a camera in every car to guard against fraud.

Is everybody drunk on vodka there?

They drive fast and they don' seem to have any rulz.

Love to own an auto body shop there.

I loved it when the guy says Ai-yi-yi as they drive into the river right at the end.
These drivers make the drivers around here look sane, and I live in Eastern Mass-driving is personal combat!

I never realized that only women drive in Russia!!!!!

[Structo]

By contrast, here is some very good driving.

Obviously, none of these guys pay for their own tires.

If you check out what the many princes of Saudi Arabia do for fun, because money is no object, they do everything from the high speed drifting down highways, sidewalk surfing (two wheels) to camel races and Falcon competition.

The latest craze seems to be driving SUV's on two wheels.
In fact there was a video that showed them taking the wheels off of the driver side which was up off the pavement........

All I have to say is, more dollars than sense.
I mean we used to do some crazy shit when we were kids but I
guess we didn't have the bank roll to do the things these crazy mofo's do.

Anybody old enough to remember the 1970's oil embargo?

For the younger members I will offer this.
OPEC decided they weren't getting enough money for their oil.
Therefore, they created a shortage.

There were gas lines like you wouldn't believe, sometimes 1/2 mile long.
Many ran out of gas while waiting and had to push their cars along.
Often times the gas station would simply run out of gas.
So after waiting hours in line, you can imagine how tempers could flare.

There was only so much gas to go around and the prices were exorbitant for the times.
It seems like forever the price of gas was .29.9/ gallon.
Those times quickly ended by the late 70's although it was much cheaper than today's prices.

If anybody during that time said that we would be paying over $3.00/ gal, we would have said they were crazy.

Yeah, I know.
If you figure the inflation blah blah blah, the gas should be $10/gal.

Not sure about that, because every time I get gasoline, it hurts just a little bit more.

[Teleguy61]

Italians driving German cars. I'm on foot in podunco, they're not used to pedestrians in my town, but the only fuckers that almost run me over daily, even in the crosswalks, are all driving German cars. It's an arrogance self importance thing. Cars say a lot about you, they been selling them on that for 100 years.

It's not due to the Italians, but to The Audi.
People who bought Mercedes in the 90s now has switched to Audi.

I've often been in east europe, africa and middle east.
Africa is the worst. Not the north africa, everywhere else is really scary.

Yemen also. Well, overthere there's a complicated situation not only for the cars (anyway, there's no need of drive licence).

In England in the eighties it was nuns driving Austin Mini-Metros that we were all rather wary of.

Dubai is,nt that bad lol, Try Italy for insane driving,

I give Italians credit for respect of bike riders however. In close to 2 years no one's yet to honk at me for daring to co-exist w/ them on the road. And even better drivers here will just pass me calmly and quickly rather than hang on my ass in in fear and anger scared to pass. I got a lot of the opposite in the States. I don't think they're less polite at all just less used to 2 wheels everywhere. Once had an old old lady, like mid '80s, yell at me "get off the fucking road asshole" and she was in the passenger seat. In Scarsdale NY of all places. Nice way to grow old
