Video: This has to be the funniest piece of terrible driving of all time

We have no idea when or where exactly this footage was recorded; all we know is that we came across it today and it reduced half of the JOE office to tears.

We have no idea when or where exactly this footage was recorded; all we know is that we came across it today and it reduced half of the JOE office to tears.

Crass generalisation it might be, but some people just shouldn’t be allowed behind the wheel of any type of automobile such is their capacity to cause chaos and general mayhem on the road.

The chap at the heart of this video is just the type of person we’re talking about, although for sheer comedy value we’re glad he decided to get on his bike and try and cross a busy street in an unidentified Chinese city whenever the footage happened to be recorded.

The guy you want to keep your eye on – no matter what else is happening in the clip – is the guy who crashes his motorbike into a mini-bus in the first few seconds and then proceeds to crash into pretty much everything else that moves in a calamitous 60 seconds or so behind the wheel.

Thankfully for the error-prone pilot he doesn’t seem to injure himself anyway, at least not until the coup de grace at the very end of the clip when we can’t guarantee that he didn’t end up picking up a few bruises after what looked like a pretty nasty fall indeed.

As we said, this clip could have been filmed years and years ago for all we know, but if you’ve seen it already it’s definitely worth another look and if not, prepare to be amazed.

Hat-tip to Luke Callaghan for sending us this gem on Twitter
