I keep seeing people making u-turns when there are no u-turn signs at the left hand arrow - you have to turn left onto the side street & then you can turn around but people ignore that and make a u-turn anyway.
A few weeks ago I got to enjoy the best thing ever. Was on Fair Lakes Parkway going west at the Shoppers Lane light. And some young guy in a sporty car had been driving like an idiot up until this point.
I am continuing on Fair Lakes Pkwy and they were in the L turn lane where there is a NO U TURN sign right there. And this cop just casually comes up behind the guy.
And sure enough, the kid makes a U Turn right in front of the cop and I start laughing, look over at the cop who is shaking their head like “ can they really be this dumb!” Turns on their lights/sirens and goes to get them.
It made my day when people get caught doing something stupid 😂
I mean there are some intersections where two or more lanes turn left ...though i agree it's much more common to have morons turning left from a lane which isn't a designated left turn lane.
I have frequently been in the rightmost of two left-turning lanes and had the person in the leftmost lane swing wide into my lane nearly running me off the road. Morons abound here in NOVA.
Don't you realize this is my world and you just exist in it? Lol
Probably had that bullshit “New Driver Please Be Patient” sticker on their car, yet they’re a 45 year old.
A good driver sometimes misses their turn
A bad driver never misses their turn
I saw someone make a u-turn from the right turn only lane this week. To not get mad, I imagine this driver was about to shit their pants.

I am so sick of people making U-turns in heavy traffic. If you make a mistake go around the block instead of making us all suffer for your mistake.
In some parts of the world that’s known as the “Saudi Sweep”. I’ve seen it many times….
A few weeks ago, I saw someone make a right turn, from the left turn lane on 50.

I don't understand why people always swing wide on turns. Like, turn into your own lane. I wish it were a law here... It is in other states.
I saw someone did that on a red light. I was like what did I just see??

Congratulations, you have noticed that people are bad at driving.
The next "I saw a bad driver!" post will be in 14 seconds. 13. 12.
It’s not even being bad, it’s people not giving a shit.
Lmao just look at all the idiots (and my frustration with them) in this post

Actually they can
They shouldn’t, they can’t legally. But they can physically.
If ya don’t believe that, watch any intersection for 5 minutes
They’ll do it, and sometimes even make it

There's a driving/ traffic tag... but okay I will
OP probably didn't realize it was yours
Would you like to provide any more insightful commentary?
This is what happens when virtually everyone in society is forced behind the wheel
