My most stupid thing ever, that I remember, was in Chicagoland, guy was in the 2nd lane and stopped because he was about to go by the exit.
Innumerable also rans.
I witnessed the greatest act of stupidity I've ever seen

Between (redacted) four wheelers and other morons driving I learned MANY years ago to learn to spot developing hazards. This is covered in a lot of the Smith System training. If stupid can happen expect stupid to happen. A car is sitting about to enter the road and you can't see their eyes start slowing down. This has saved me many times over the years. It stinks, but you should get off the power and cover the brake until the hazard clears. I'm old school when it comes to driving. Drivers today are doing a lot of things that take their minds off their mirror and instrument scans. I also learned over the years that I will NOT fight over the right of way. I saw a hazard I started to slow down. Remember a sudden brake in heavy traffic and you could be hit in the rear. It's always best to slow.

Either way, I think it's funny to believe driving a manual transmission is something deserving of a medal. It's one of the easier things on this planet to learn. Clearly easier than spotting a hazard and choosing to err on the side of safety while grossing 105k.truckdriver31, MACK E-6 and lovesthedrive Thank this. -
A couple years ago a couple school busses missed their exit on i80 in Nj. Instead of going up to the next exit and making a flip, they used an emergency vehicle turn around. One bus pulled out in front of a Tri axle dump truck. He hit the bus broad side. It was a huge mess with multiple fatalities.
