‘Worst driver in China’ hits nearby car 15 times while reversing out of parking space
A man in China has been dubbed the country’s “worst driver” after video emerged of him taking a full 10 minutes to reverse out of a parking space.
A man in China’s eastern province of Jiangsu has been dubbed the country’s “worst driver” after video emerged of him taking a full 10 minutes to reverse out of a parking space.
The surveillance video, shot on the morning of October 6 in Jiangyin, a city of around two million people near Wuxi, shows the man attempting to reverse from a standard parking space.
As well as taking around 10 minutes to get out of the space, trying dozens of different angles and manoeuvres in the process, the driver manages to hit the car next to his at least 15 times. After he finally gets out of the space he speeds away, ignoring the damage he’s done to another person’s car.
“Did he buy the licence, or what?” one commenter asked.
China’s roads are notoriously dangerous. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) around 200,000 people are killed in crashes every year.
“Injuries to drivers, passengers and pedestrians remain the leading causes of death for people between 14 and 44 years of age,” a recent WHO report found.
“Some of the officers took bribes so frequently they cannot remember the amount of money they received,” said an anti-corruption investigator at the time.
