How many idiot drivers do you encounter when you drive? Is it 1 a day or 10 a day or a 100 a day?

For myself I think it is 1 a week. I drive maybe 100-150 kms a week.
When it snows, a lot. Otherwise it isn't that bad really. I general, I think a better description of what I have a problem with is bad traffic conditions. Winter brings out the stupid in many people.

Adding the to list above, just from the last little bit;

-People who don't scrap off windows.
-People in big pick up trucks doing 60 down the narrow streets of mckenzie towne
-People straddling lanes when it is really obvious. I mean if they took one second to look at other traffic around them, they would realize something is wrong.
-people who drive on residential streets like they are in some sort of Tokyo Drift competition.

In the last 2 weeks I have driven my car maybe 16 blocks total a day to the Park and Ride and back, other than the occasional evening trip. Only one day, Fri Nov 19, when traffic was terrible and I waited for the 302 for 40 minutes downtown did I regret not driving, but even then I watched 4 episodes of Weeds before I got home so it really wasn't that bad.
