Bad Driver BINGO

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

Working on a new car game, inspired by Bumbazine’s ‘You might be a bad driver if…’ thread. It goes like this: Each passenger has a card with 25 squares arranged in a 5x5 grid. Each square contains a bad driving practice. The driver of your car is the caller. He/she spots another car doing something stupid and calls out what he/she saw. The passengers check their cards for that description and mark their cards accordingly. The first to get five in a row horizontally, vertically or diagonally is the winner.

The hard part is creating the cards. I need examples of bad driving practices. They need to be concise enough to fit in a square and should be reasonably common.

Ones I can think of off the top of my head:
[ul][li]On phone[/li][li]Using exit ramp to pass[/li][li]Cutting off another driver[/li][li]Straddling line[/li][li]Leaving turn signal on[/li]10MPH below limit [/ul]Obviously I need a larger list than that. Contributions would be greatly appreciated.

Not signaling lane changes.
More than 10 or 15 mph over the speed limit.
Reading while driving.
Eating while driving.
Looking for something in the backseat while driving.

Cutting across four lanes of traffic at the last minute to get onto an exit ramp.
Making a right on red without stopping.
Massachusetts license plates.

4

Putting on makeup while driving
Failing to yield right of way

5

Being unable to make a right turn without completely stopping 4 times, even if the light is green.

Unable to use an entrance lane to speed up in.

Slow down to get in behind you, even though you have slowed down to 5 mph.

How do you know someone is driving with their parking brake on?

Please be sure to put “driving while your kids aren’t buckled up” on the list.

The huge volumes of smoke coming off the rims is usually a good sign. Apparently these people never use their rear-view mirrors either. Go figure.

Here’s a couple more for you:

Stopping for green lights.

Using the turn lane for a passing lane.

I actually followed a woman once who would turn completely around every few seconds and, from her facial contortions, was obviously talking baby talk to the contents of the baby carrier in the back seat!?!

I also passed a young woman on the freeway once reading a bible. (Insert you own “going to see Jesus” joke here.)

If sex required any intelligence, I’m afraid there would a whole lot less of us here.
