Seattle news station tests three people’s driving abilities on weed

Seattle-based KIRO-TV set up a driving course and had three stoned volunteers take a driving test to “show what stoned driving looks like and the danger on the road.” The drivers first got high on the marijuana strain, Blueberry Trainwreck, and then got behind the wheel.

tl;dw: All three people ended up with waaaaay more THC in their system than the legal limit and still drove mostly fine. Slow, but fine.

At the X Games this weekend, two drivers did the first ever double car double loop

And on a bright orange Hot Wheels track nonetheless. The drivers were Tanner Foust and stuntman Greg Tracey.

Driving like an idiot in Saudi Arabia is all fun and games til you hit a bus head on

There’s hundreds and hundres of videos out there of stupid young rich Saudi guys driving like morons— granted, morons with some pretty good driving skill— but morons nonetheless. And in almost all of these, while there’s some close calls, no one’s injured. Except this time. The video isn’t graphic until you learn that both people in the car died from this. 

Not even once. And especially not while waving AK-47s out the window. And they’re worried about women drivers?

What could make Saudi trick driving even crazier? Assault rifles.

Young Saudi men have become famous across the internet for their insane trick driving on Saudi roads. Too much money, with powerful cars and too much time on their hands and all that… But what could make these driving stunts even more dangerous? Oh, I don’t know… adding assault rifles into the mix?

Do not text and drive

Also, keep both your hands on the damn steering wheel while you’re trying to get video of a teen driving texting while driving. This video would have been so much funnier if the internet vigilante had been the one to swerve into oncoming traffic.

How NOT to teach your child to drive.

Guy spotted on the highway reading a book, reading a Kindle and using an iPhone at the same time

You need a couple sloppy Joes to eat there as well? Maybe if you threw in a game of checkers or had some oranges to juggle? You don’t look nearly busy enough.

Ken Block Gymkhana 3: Ken Block drifts up a wall and other feats of extreme awesome driving skills

American rally racer Ken Block is well-known for his cuh-ray-zee mad driving skills, but in his latest Gymkhana (not to be confused with Gymkata) video, he takes things to a whole new level.

The stunts I perform in Gymkhana THREE, Part 2 are without a doubt the craziest stuff I have ever attempted behind the wheel,” said Block. “We knew in order to out do the previous films, we’d really have to take it to the next level, and since you can’t kickflip a car, the location needed to allow me to do things never done before in car. Sure, I’ve seen people drift banks, but never ones this steep, and never head on. I treated the Autodrome’s 51-degree wall like a quarter pipe and it was awesome. Awesomely sketchy! Who knew you could do a wall ride in a car?”
