This reminds me of back in the early '70 when I was on my way home from the 4PM to Midnight shift. I was on a 4 lane highway (2LN/2LS) with a turn median in the center. I came up on a driver that was literally as drunk as a skunk and was driving from one shoulder across the entire expanse of the highway to the opposite shoulder criss-crossing back and forth several times within about a quarter of a mile until he reached the end of the road where he took a right. I was going left thankfully. Unfortunately back then there was obviously no such thing as a cell phone where I could have just called emergency!

Anyway, I could have passed him right away while he was to the extreme left, but instead I put on my 4 way flashers in hope of either attracting the police or warning other vehicles of the potential danger. Thankfully there were no more vehicles on that road that morning. I've been driving for more than 49 years now and I can't say I've ever seen any driver even a quarter as bad as this one and hope I never do again!

I could also tell you about the time I was driving behind my grandfather and didn't know it was him until we both reached my parents home, but that another long story and I'll spare you!
