Yes, people are funny, but some of their driving maneuvers are only funny on television.  They certainly are not funny when they put themselves and others at risk.

 

There is no limit to the crazy stunts people will pull.  It isn’t unusual for a person, having missed an exit ramp off the interstate to back up on the shoulder.  People sometimes pass on shoulders and even in the median.  Others get confused or overtired and enter the interstate headed the wrong way.  Many people fall asleep at the wheel.

  Plenty of people are drunk or under the influence of drugs, especially in the late night/early morning hours.  Passengers in the vehicle often distract the driver, especially children and/or pets. 

 

Cell phones, while convenient, are notorious for causing crashes.  Commuters have the strange and dangerous habits of attempting to read, put on makeup or do any number of things while driving.  These things are bad enough, but I have not even mentioned those who speed much faster than the surrounding traffic, cut across multiple lanes and in general, display a serious case of road rage.
