I saw the worst driver today.

[Rain Man]

First off, I'm not going to tell you age, gender, or race. I will tell you that it was not a person who looked like they had a learner's permit.

But it was pretty funny.

I was driving on a very busy highway in California, two lanes going in each direction with a 60 mph speed limit. I came to a stop because a couple of cars ahead, someone was stopped halfway in the lane and halfway in a driveway to a coffee shop parking lot. It was a nice Audi sedan two cars ahead of us.

I thought maybe someone was trying to get out, blocking them from entering, but I couldn't see anyone. We sat there for a minute and traffic started piling up quickly behind us.

The car just sat there and didn't move. We waited for a while, and then the car ahead of us started honking.

The Audi then backed up onto the highway, most of the way. Then it pulled up again. Then it stopped again.

Then it somehow - and I have no idea how - got a wheel off the ground. I cannot even begin to explain how, but I could see the back tire spinning with no traction. This was in a concrete driveway with no precipitation in good weather. I seriously have no idea how they did it.

Then it backed up again. By this point there were lots of cars behind us, and the left lane was full of people passing the car.

It backed all the way into the left lane, stopping all of the traffic and making cars dodge it, and stopped again. Then it cut the wheels and after about 100 feet it managed to get into the right lane. It took off at about 20 mph in a 60 mph zone. As cars started passing again, it then ever so slowly drifted into the left lane with its right turn signal on for some unexplainable reason, making everybody dodge it again.

We eventually passed on the right side, laughing uproariously. There was a driver and passenger, and they were clearly oblivious to what they were doing.
