(Disclaimer: mods feel free to move to other auto/off-topic. Video may be satire/rigged for views. I claim no damage to driver of the SUV based off of screening provided here. Educational purposes only.)

This, and 2 of the 3 finalists for Canada's Worst Driver(they could very well be faked and rigged, but looking at how some drive, I could believe some are that terrible) this season were from Calgary. So don't drive in Calgary hehehe. Seeing how she drives, don't walk, or bike or get out of you home for that matter

. Find an at home job or buy a huge roll of bubble wrap and wear it

Not surprised. I see it every day.

I live in Bellingham WA, about thirty minutes from Canada on the I-5 corridor. It's a daily occurrence here. Friends and family always used to think we were joking until they came to visit. It's almost a daily thing to be forced onto the freeway shoulder or the roundabout curbing by Canadians changing lanes without looking. Or REVERSING ON THE FREEWAY to get to their mall exit. Or driving 55mph in the fast lane on a 70mph freeway. I'm not even going to get into what it was like when I was on the motorbike...

I'm just going to stop now.

To be fair I should say that almost all of these daily brushes with death are the result of drivers who didn't learn to drive in North America.

End rant.

Must be a west coast thing as I don't see anything worse here then I do in my frequent trips to the States.

Horrible. What's crazy is the guy who tried helping her out was the owner to the vehicle she backed into.
Cops eventually tracked her down to ticket her.
Unfortunately, that's all she got.

And of course, it had to be a BMW SUV w/ woman driver.
