For those who think they've seen some bad drivers.....

For those of you who are stressed out by the Christmas season and need a chuckle, here's a link to watch 'Calgary's worst driver' in action, and why she has been given the title while trying to leave a parking lot.......and taking over 4 minutes to do so.

And if you can watch it without chuckling/laughing or making comments about the driver you did better than me

Calgary's Worst Driver Is Really Bad And Really Slow (VIDEO)

FYI, she only received a $115 fine for "unsafe backing" but I understand the police are also going after her for hit and run......

Wow where did she get a license. Ok that should have been how.

Who says, that was a "she"?
Whoever it was, was clearly adapt in switching between "drive and "reverse".

But this person aside, considering the prevailing lack of comprehension in the general
population of how things function, and that almost any adult has a driver's license, I
am often amazed at how smoothly city traffic functions.

It is just to show you that the driver's licence is a great incentive to learn.

By the way thanks for the laugh.

Sorry, Linda, it has not been established, that the goof ball in Calgary was a woman.
It is not evident from the video and so far has only been assumed by prejudiced
people on this forum, including at least one woman.

Boy, do I feel vindicated to hold no such preconceived notions as a man

My wife would be proud of me

As far as Justin's video is concerned, there were certainly some women among the
screwballs, but many could just as easily have been men with the scenes which could
have identified them as such, edited out to fit into the subject of bad women drivers

And as far as the front photo was concerned, it was the top car, which was confused
and mounted from the wrong end

Last sentence in the link Pmurphy posted;
"What's even more infuriating is the BMW driver fails to tell the man in the green top that she hit his car — and he's the one who ultimately helps her exit the parking lot!"

Unless Pam has some information on the gender of the dolt, which she did not divulge
to us, I can see no evidence in the video, that it was a woman.

Geez, if you are not going to believe the Huffington Post, I don't know if you will believe anybody.

How about this quote allegedly from a Calgary police officer :
"Calgary police digital communications officer Const. Jeremy Shaw tweeted about the incident on Friday.
On Sunday, Shaw confirmed that an officer from District 6 was able to track the driver down a few blocks away from the parking lot.
She's been issued a $115 "unsafe backing" ticket. According to someone who spoke with the woman, she claimed she didn't know she had hit the vehicle.
Investigators didn’t mention the video to the driver and were not sure if she is aware of it."

I must admit that I personally can not identify the driver as male or female. However, there have been many news articles on this "backing fiasco" of which a handful identified the driver as a woman, including this one from the National Post
‘Calgary’s worst driver?’ Watch woman hit car as she struggles to get BMW out of half-empty parking lot

‘Calgary’s worst driver?’ Watch woman hit car as she struggles to get BMW out of half-empty parking lot | National Post

FYI, the hit and run charges were drop as "she didn’t meet the criteria for a hit-and-run, Inspector Ken Thrower said", but the "unsafe backing" fine still stands

jbyrd88888 · 12-23-2014, 06:48 PM

I take no side, there are just as many bad driver of any sex everywhere... I think it is too easy to get a license!
