The Most Unopposable Evil... When Hungry
Any luck on finding the source for the current image? Not important that we find it right now, just hopefully someday. Reverse image searches SauceNAO and Tineye came up dry, even with the original picture: http://imgur.com/fggiWqH
Looks like the Image Pickin' thread couldn't pull it off earlier, either. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1433880594060975200&page=2
If I could take a wild guess, from the way they're drawn, I'm reminded of Revy and Rock from Black Lagoon... now watch me be way off.

It has source listed on Anime & Manga
Working on cleaning up List of Shows That Need Summary
I have no idea who the artist is for Black Lagoon but the source image is from a H-Doujin called Sakaki-san Franchise.

Here's the original page from where the trope image came from.

Ad The Great Gatsby'': Actually the only character who is bothered with responsible driving is Nick Carraway (at least he claims so) - it's a metaphor for The Roaring '20s in general, not a jab at Women Drivers.

Where did all those huge lists of Real Life examples go!? I came looking to show it to a friend who wanted some specific examples, and all I find are a few bland generic "people drive bad in this country" examples and a list of individual human beings who can't drive.
Pulled this example, because the fact that Phaeton could not control his father's chariot does not establish that he was a habitual Crazy Driver in the sense of this trope.
- An example from Greek Mythology, famously told by Hyginus (2nd century CE): Phaeton, son of the sun god Helios, once took his dad's sun chariot out in an attempt to be recognized by others as the child of such a great deity. He completely lost control and nearly toasted the entire world. Earlier Euripides wrote a play on it.
How sweet it is
Should the Real Life examples have their own page? It's absurdly long.

Possible New Example for both Live Action TV and Real Life.
Andrew Younghusband, host of Canadas Worst Driver , will also be presenting Don't Drive Here, a series about driving in the worst congested cities of the world.

I wonder if the producers looked at this page for suggestions!

Okay, I'm sorry, this one just drives me crazy:
- We Californians are infamous for our bad driving habits. There's a reason why we coined the term "Rush Hour". How bad is it on other states? Montana, a state that made do without speed limits, had to put them back in to deal with the damn Californian yuppie tourists.
- Hell, this trope oughta be renamed to "California Driver": nobody would know the difference!
- All Californians are active practitioners of the "California Roll-Through".
- We also are known for our "California Stops", which is slowing down to 10 mph at a stop sign, then keep going. Also, speed limit be damned!
- Not only were we the first state to introduce Hands Free and No Texting While Driving laws, the police don't enforce them anyway! Even the Governator's wife doesn't care!
- The monorail tour at the San Diego Wild Animal Park often concluded by alongside the highway to show passengers the most dangerous animal of all: the San Diego Road Hog.
- Illegal immigrants driving around in the Phoenix, AZ area are only slightly worse then Californian drivers.
I mean, really, speeding, not stopping all the way at stop signs and right turns, and texting while driving? Have you ever been outside California? Because to this Masshole, writing this from behind the wheel *, if that's what you consider "hilariously bad driving," you're making it sound like a granny-shifter's paradise.

There is no Planet B
I deleted this example. Memes are discouraged as examples. It could be added if it's re-written, using reference from Know Your Meme, or it could be added to Image Links sub-page.
- There's a South Korean internet meme called "Kim Yo-sa," or "Madam Kim," where pictures of bizarre car accidents and bad road behavior are attributed to a single middle-aged Korean woman via amusing captions.

Does this trope counts when a character is too good driver? Like driving in a "absurdly efficient" way being his standard.
By the way, this isn't Played for Laughs.

Do aircrafts and spacecrafts count or just ground vehicles?
