probably just booze and pills

I've been practicing driving with a person who shouldn't drive. She has no feeling for the car, i. e. doesn't understand how you would correct your position, drive in reverse etc., and it feels like she's asleep with her eyes open. Imo driving is a constant stream of decisions and she just doesn't make any. "Why are we driving here?" - "I've been looking for somewhere to turn around." - "We're passing suitable locations every 3 seconds and you're going 50." - "I can't decide in time which to use."

She's afraid to go the speed limit, highways are off limits. The other day she just straight up drove out into an intersection from a yield side without breaking and stopped in the middle. I warned her it was coming, there were signs and everything. She doesn't know the speed limit when it's always very clearly signed. She doesn't read directions and can't navigate by herself; "if I say nothing, go straight, or right if straight is not an option" is forgotten after 5 minutes. She's been driving with an instructor (which I am not) for 20 lessons and we've gone at least ten times, too.

My only thought as to why this could occur is that either the person is intoxicated or has some sort of cognitive issue like dementia OR that it was deliberately done as a sketch to make a viral video. The former are scary to think about. I can understand a "normal" person making this mistake once or twice, but the fact that it's continuous and repeated would lead toward impairment.

Drives a cubic ton of metal

What’s a cubic ton?

Is that like making the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs?

We should strive for the least common denominator :-/

And too stupid to realise the hoses are designed to reach the other side of the car here too.

Not in every car though. My car doesn't have this. (Opel Meriva A)

on the dashboard, there is an arrow next to the fuel icon. It shows which side to fill.

In the Miata community, it's called "Doing The Thing."
