I had someone check their blind spot (That I was in) but then try to move over into my lane anyway. Not sure what they were thinking.
absolutely useless isn't it...The good habit and good intention are there, but their brain fails to register. This happens to me all the time, people trying to merge with reckless abandon. Most annoying is when they do it without even indicating.
I've witnessed one fatal collision, countless near misses and a lot of stupid stuff on the roads. I guess the weirdest stuff I've seen people doing while driving is just general negligence like drivers just not paying attention to anything happening around them. Like previously mentioned, I've seen people driving with their feet and their seat laid back. Passengers steering while the driver shaves, combs hair, texts, vomits...Beats me how they stay alive. Vehicles are dangerous enough without people careening down the highway without any regard for others.
The first vehicle I was even in control of was a Yamaha Virago 250cc motorcycle. Here in Australia (Victoria) they don't let you legally ride a motorbike on the roads until you've completed a full day course including theory and practical exams. It takes a lot more than that to drive safely, I know...but that really gave me an appreciation for being able to avoid collisions and being aware of the vehicles around me and by driving defensively.
