It’s Time For ‘Bad Maine Drivers’ Summer Edition

Pay attention on the roads, you never know who may be watching!

Maine driving can be a very stressful and anxiety-filled experience, every day just driving around town, you will see things that will absolutely boggle your mind. From terrible parking jobs, people who cut you off, improper lane changes, ignoring stop signs, not yielding the right of way, and forgetting to use your blinker.

The list goes on and on.

Now that summer is in full swing, it brings on another totally different set of challenges for those of us who navigate the roads of Maine, each and every day. People seem to ignore basic driving rules all the time, but summertime seems to kick things up a notch or two.

Well, if you have ever experienced something like this, there is a place you can go to see all sorts of bad driving choices from people all over the state of Maine.

Maine's Idiot Spotters is a group of 20,000 members on Facebook that is endlessly entertaining.

On a daily basis, people upload pictures & videos of bad driving shenanigans that they spot while about and about. And let me tell you, there is plenty to look at.

And thanks to the invention of the dashboard camera in vehicles, many a bad decision by motorists has been captured for everyone in the group to see.

Here are some videos that have already been captured a month into summer of 2023, including one from Ellsworth, that you simply have to see to believe!
