I don't know off the top of my head, but I can assure you they had a Pennsylvania license plate.
well i was on the mass pike a few years ago, and i saw this unfold in front of me. This green explorer is driving along in the travel lane, with a silver civic behind it. The silver civic moves into the passing lane to pass the explorer, and is lined up with it perfectly when the civic suddenly rams directly into the explorer....like they didn't notice the giant SUV right next to them...here's where it gets fun...the civic ends up on two wheels...driver's side on the road, passengers side ON the explorer, they travelled like this for about 5 seconds as I slammed on my breaks and dove into the breakdown lane. All this occurred at about 75 mph....and yes the civic driver was a woman...Seriously though, she goes to pass the guy, and when she's right along side him just rams him, it's not like it's a blind spot issue....can you forget that there's a car next to you when you're still in the process off passing them?? can you be that stupid and still breathe on your own??
oh and another one. A guy was being a hotshot and gunning his engine and blaring his music outside this club he then tries to do a u-turn and speed away but instead drives straight into my friends brand new car that was parked on the other side.
he was drunk. it was a rental car. his quote was classic "my family is very rich, we are from France, don't call the police, I give you all the money you want"

I was on storrow drive in boston (it's a pretty big one way road, people ususally go 45-50 mph). Well today a crackhead decided to drive...I was about 3 cars behind him with no traffic going about 50. The road starts to curve and this guy can't handle the turn and spins his car 180 degrees. He sees all the headlights shining on him and acts like nothing is wrong and starts waving for people to go past him like nothing was wrong...Moron

Categories of dangerous people on the road.
Elderly
Women
Foreigners
Hot shot teens trying to impress someone
Drunks
Cars that have no business on the road due to poor maintance, like the leaf springs busted sparking the ground while driving
Easily distracted idiots using cell phones, eating, reading, or watching tv on thier new car LCDs.
Fat people (I duno why, but I see more accidents involving fat people, guess it's because I'm in the fattest city in the world).
It's the worst when you combine categories. An old, fat, foreign, woman that's drunk and driving POS while eating and talking on the cell phone is a scary person to drive on the road with.

Elderly woman who changed from the right hand lane into the passing lane only to make an immediate right w/ no signal.
Also, I sincerely believe that a large portion of the population does not know the left lane is for faster moving traffic, not cruising

weirdest thing: my elderly mom is driving down the freeway, behind some traffic. There is a car parked on the right shoulder. It starts to go, and moves into her lane in front of her, she brakes and moves over, and it keeps moving to the left as she slows in the left lane. It crosses the lane and crashes into the bushes in the median in front of her!
No one is inside. It was parked on the top of an overpass, and the wind from the passing semi truck ahead of her jars it loose, apparently. It must have been stuck on a piece of gravel

Many years ago going to a Dodger game at dodger stadium I recall seeing a large raised pickup which hit a car, went half-way over it and got stuck sitting on top. This was a busy intersection very close to the stadium, I'm sure at least a couple cops saw it.

Maybe not the dumbest thing I've ever seen, but last night driving home from work a teen in a lifted Toyota SR-5 came flying up behind me. We were on a two lane with double yellows in the middle, approaching an intersection. I saw a car approach the intersection from the left and I thought he was going to turn left in front of me so I slowed a little. The SR-5 crosses the double yellow to pass me as the other car is turning onto the road. The SR-5 swerved back across the road and passed the car that just turned onto the road on the right shoulder. He fishtailed a bit on the shoulder but managed not to get sideways or flip it.
Three are fresh in my mind. All women.
I was driving the speed limit (55) on a surface street when an old woman in a sedan pulled out infront of me and did not accelerate. I couldn't get over and had to skid as to avoid her. She didn't even notice.
A few weeks ago a girl in a civic merged right into me and forced me off of the freeway. She was talking on her cell phone and was right beside me, I don't understand how she didn't see me.
Earlier this week I saw a girl turn out of an apartment complex and try to turn left into a closed road with no less than four "Road Closed" signs on it, not twenty feet from the stop light she was just sitting at. When she realized she couldn't turn left she swirved and almost hit a truck waiting to go straight while she was doing this. This was the first time I had seen someone back up in an intersection. The road had been closed for over a year because of a new bridge over the freeway being built.

Putting the nose and most of the rest of the vehicle across the right 2 lanes, blocking traffic, and then looking to see when the left lane is clear before making a right turn. Twice in a row.
People backing up on freeways because they missed an exit.
People swerving at the last minute on the freeway because they're about to miss an exit.

Driving on the highway during a heavy snow storm in the right hand lane. I look into the rear view mirror and see a semi gain on me fast. He caught up and tail gated for a bit then pass on the left side. Five minutes later I see the same truck in the ditch. Hah, got what he deserved and good thing nobody go hurt.
I think I'm responsible for the dumbest thing I've ever seen.
Driving home from work one day very tired...I woke up doing 60 on the wide grass median of a 4 lane highway. I'm so lucky there was a median and not a barrier!

I was driving straight down the road, past a merging area for cars coming from the freeway. I have a 79 lincoln continental, also known as the "land yacht". Anyways one of those driving RV's had come off the freeway and was waiting to turn. He decided it was going to be fun to turn right into me. HE hit my right rear fender, spun me across the road, and i was off the road facing oncoming traffic. NOw thats stupid.
Then he had the nerve to say "well i dont know who's fault that was" i pretty much didnt answer him.
