12 of the most jaw-dropping instances of supremely stupid driving from ‘Idiots in Cars’ on Reddit
People have been driving metallic death boxes for more than a century, and recently they’ve got bigger.
Deadlier, too.
And not only because of their heft and horsepower. People – invariably men – have even been known to sever body parts while demonstrating, or failing to demonstrate, the safety mechanisms built into the Tesla Cybertruck.
Don’t believe me? See below for a version that doesn’t involve an actual finger.

John Wayne never actually said “Life is tough, but it’s tougher when you’re stupid”, but whoever came up with it and falsely attributed it to him had a point.
(The line actually appears in the 1973 crime film The Friends of Eddie Coyle, based on a novel by George V Higgins.)
Anyway, we’re getting sidetracked from the matter at hand, which is… Idiots in Cars. As in, idiots in cars, as opposed to idiots testing out the Cybertruck’s ability to slice off a digit.
Here’s one!
