World Atlas Of Bad Driving: Europe

O publicatie online din SUA a intocmit un top mondial al soferilor incompetenti. In ceea ce priveste Europa, "victorioasa" este Romania, care si-a surclasat de departe rivalele la titlu.

"World Atlas of Bad Driving" il desemneaza castigator romanul care isi conduce TIR-ul cantand, in top urmand Polonia, Croatia, Italia, Olanda, Franta, Turcia, Germania, Rusia si Marea Britanie.

Desi se recomanda ca, in general, inregistrarile sa fie privite fara sonor, in cazul filmuletului de pe primul loc recomandarea este ca in fundal sa se auda si muzica "autohtona".

In fine, nu e prea relevant filmuletul cu romanul nostru, nu asta inseamna sofer prost. Exista o multitudine de alte exemple cu adevarat concludente.





NATION OF ORIGIN: Romania


NATURE OF INCIDENT: This truck driver decides to take a break from driving his truck to celebrate the accordion music and folk dances of his country. Which would be fine, if he wasn't driving his truck at the time. Okay, you can leave the sound on for this one, but remember to run it off right afterwards.




NATION OF ORIGIN: Poland


NATURE OF INCIDENT: A truck driver, again.This particular Pole is objecting as strenuously as possible to being overtaken on the right. Short but sweet proof that racking up the miles can do things to you.




NATION OF ORIGIN: Croatia


NATURE OF INCIDENT: Traffic camera footage of a particularly active and evidently slippery street corner in Rijeka. We find this one oddly hypnotic and, at times, even graceful.






NATION OF ORIGIN: Italy


NATURE OF INCIDENT: Icy conditions surprise drivers exiting a tunnel. An illuminating study in anticipating changes in road conditions. It also poses the question of how best to warn other drivers of danger.






NATION OF ORIGIN: Holland


NATURE OF INCIDENT: A couple kids talking about a car accident at an icy intersection get to see a couple more. Again, how exactly should citizens warn people?




NATION OF ORIGIN: France


NATURE OF INCIDENT: It's anybody's guess what started the incident in this tunnel-cam footage, but it provides a good example of panic stops by drivers not paying attention.






NATION OF ORIGIN: Turkey


NATURE OF INCIDENT: An accident at the mouth of a tunnel becomes a cascading failure. Of particular interest is the traffic slowing to a crawl on the other side of the divider as people rubberneck.





NATION OF ORIGIN: Germany


NATURE OF INCIDENT: A Mercedes driver loses it on the Autobahn. Despite the breathless American narration which you should ignore, the car was most likely fine and the driver most likely wasn't concentrating.




NATION OF ORIGIN: Russia


NATURE OF INCIDENT: Getting a strong anti-tunnel feel? There's two reasons for this: First, there are more traffic cameras in tunnels, meaning more footage is available. Second, reduced sight lines and, of course, lack of room to avoid accidents in tunnels make for more dramatic incidents.






NATION OF ORIGIN: UK


NATURE OF INCIDENT: Okay, you can turn the sound up! Enjoy the antics of the Tijuana Brass as these drivers attempt to sneak into the parking lot without paying and run afoul of diabolical countermeasures.

Hai s-o lasam mai moale...
Pe baza unor filme de pe Youtube si a niste experiente personale se trag niste concluzii...
Nu as vrea sa apar soferii romani sau de orice alta natie dar bazat pe aceleasdi criterii de selectie ca soferii prosti mai este si un banc:
- Cum alegi din 10 americani care-s prosti?
- La intamplare.

foarteeeee buna asta cu americanii :))

Nici eu nu vreau sa apar soferii din ro, dar consider articolul americanilor un pamflet. Mai ales daca sursele au fost doar clipurile de pe youtube. Si tind sa cred ca numai astea au fost :)

Unknown spunea...

Americanii vor sa se amuze pe seama altora ca doar ei sunt "buricul Pamantului".
Evident e un pamflet, ca doar pe primul loc e soferul care NU a facut nici un accident si nu a stanjenit circulatia pe autostrada care nu e in Romania :(( . Deci ar trebui sa fie considerat un sofer bun. Problema lui e "la etajul superior" , daca il are :).

O prietena din Florida a avut un accident acum aproape 2 ani: statea la semafor, prima pe banda a 2-a, iar pe banda 1 era alta masina. Si cum statea se uita in oglinda si vede cum un sedan se tot apropie, si se apropie.... pana s-a oprit in masina ei. Ea are un Ford Escape (cel mai mic, ieftin si plastifiat SUV de la Ford) dar a scapat usor ca avea masina mai inaltata. Sedanul care intrat in ea s-a facut cam varza.
- Cum se numeste soferita din sedan care vorbea la telefon si a uitat sa puna frana??
