Worst Drivers in the World

In keeping up with MSNBC's Keith Olbermann's tradition of showcasing "The Worst Person's in the World" on Countdown of which Comedian Rush Limbaugh and Fox Noise's Bill-O are frequent winners I present the award to the following:

2nd runner up - All drivers in the State of Florida in general, and the City of Orlando in particular. Specifically the driver of the white family van who cut me off at the intersection where he just had to make the right turn in front of me (as lead pedestrian in the crosswalk), while the female passenger yells at me to "watch out!"

1st runner up - Gentleman in the City of Orlando Fire Department vehicle who was in the right turn lane several cars back from the signal. As I approached the intersection in the bike lane (which was left of the right turn lane) the signal turned green & without so much as a glance or turn signal he swerved left (almost cutting across my front wheel) and continued down his merrier way.

But the Worlds Worst Driver is closer to home is the driver in the small grey bondo'd unidentifable import sputtering eastward across the Puyallup River Bridge toward Fife early Sunday morning while laying down a carpet of toxic exhaust like he was a crop duster. And due to the lack of any discernable wind created an eerie effect of a localized tunnel of smog contained within the confines of the bridge.
