When you think about it, it's amazing that we as humans have adapted to driving at all. The idea that an average citizen can be trusted with a metal box capable of traveling over 100 miles an hour would boggle the minds of our ancestors, but it's taken for granted today. Yet for some people, that level of comfort can turn into something more dangerous: carelessness. Whether they're drinking, texting or just not paying attention to their surroundings, people who don't take driving seriously can threaten their own safety and that of others. So, for the next time you're wondering why there are so many PSAs about impaired or distracted driving, here are 16 reminders.
1. It didn't take this drunk driver long to learn the meaning of "instant karma."
2. This person is going 75 miles per hour.
Also, just in case the picture seems hypocritical, the photographer is in the back seat.
3. This isn't an abandoned van, the driver's seat is apparently clear.
How anyone can stand driving this, I'll never know. And it's dangerous because they can't see through any of the mirrors.
4. Apparently, this drunk driver ran over some guy-wires.
And then, this happened.
