Great gifs Just goes to show, people everywhere are idiots when they get behind the wheel!

I drive about 3 hours a day on multi-lane highways coming and going from work every day and can't count the number of times I want to push someone off the road who is doing well under the limit in the fast lane It's just "common sense". Well, maybe it's not THAT common?

That second one explains the reason for the one above it

I'm 34 and never even had a lesson, pretty sure I'd be terrible! ?

^^^^ My Mother In Law lived for 80+ years and never drove a day in her life so, it can be done

I learned to drive at the venerable age of nineteen.  I was in the army stationed overseas.   

My sergeant tossed the dispatch and keys to me and I was sent out to turn-in protective masks in Worms, Germany.

The fact that we were stationed in Giessen just added to the experience(s).

Inner cities, autobahns, it was a surrealistic blur as I learned to drive all manner of vehicles.

I even got a safe driver badge out of it for some umpty-dumpty thousands of miles without an accident.

I don't actually recommend this as a method for learning to drive but it was...immersive.  

The first month I was a very, very bad driver but I got better in a hurry.   

Always drove defensive and never exceeded 205 KPH.

Did three years in Bitburg with Army. Learned to drive a stick on a duece and a half there. 

Only hit 220 kph once with a rental Mercedes 190 and six guys in it. Fun drunk times. 

Missile BCC we worked on. Yes I was a rocket scientist.

I have never had an automatic vehicle yet. And they are getting tough to find these days. Last one I bought, the dopey car jockey kid couldn't bring it from the area where they had it to the front doors  Kids these days can't drive standard trans. :(

205 KPH in a CUCV (military Chevy Blazer) going down the hill outside Kaiserslautern.

The front end started to "float" so I gently eased off the accelerator and have never, ever contemplated doing anything that stupid ever again.

Bakon, were you Patriot or Hawk?  I was in the 32nd AADCOM.

Hawk. That picture is a BCC but by my time we used PCC.   606 Ord Co. Supported 1/1 out of Spangdolum HQ out of K town. Our cutv trucks could only do 60mph or would blow out deal. Blazers maybe 90?

Wow... I barely understand a word of this. And he calls himself "Village Idiot."  Hmmmm 

[bakon]

Only picture I have of PCP. Signed for two of these at same time once as a 22 year old Sgt. About 2 million each in 1989 money. Where they fired missile. Some countries still use it. US dumped it in mid 90's and Patriot took over . Computer was octal codes to binary. And had 16k of active memory.  That big box for less info than in the words of this post  and could shoot down a plane 80km away.  But tracing a lost bit. One single bit, like finding a missing comma in a novel. Took days
