I was going to put this in the "woman teaches dog to drive" thread, but then thought maybe we need a general bad drivers thread, lol
So post stories of bad driving, and idiotic excuses for bad driving here.

Man Explains He's Speeding Because Roads Are Clear Of Goats

Ottawa, Canada (AHN) - When Canadian police pulled over a man driving about 60 miles above the speed limit Wednesday, the man, who was from Switzerland, explained he was taking advantage of Canada's goat-free roads. Local police said it was the first time they've heard an excuse involving goats.
The traffic officer's notes read, "A motorist from Switzerland, used to driving around hills and mountains, takes advantage of the ability to go faster without risking hitting a goat."
Police spokesman Joel Doiron told Reuters, "I've never been to Switzerland, but obviously they must have a problem with that there."
But police didn't seem to care that the man couldn't drive fast in his native country without fear of hitting a goat. They issued him a C$360 speeding ticket (about $324).

Riccola Ranger- is there a goat problem on your roads?
Have you considered sending them to China for driving lessons?
