    Or for not having a clue on what they are doing.

    Two examples.

    I was following a heavy tail dragging two axle caravan that was all over the road and doing only 50km/hr on the open hiway. I did not pass, and nor did anyone else, even when there were passing lanes. Eventually he pulled over just after we reached the next town. As I passed I noticed that the caravan was loaded so that the rear of the car was way above the rear wheels. Obviously there was insufficient weight on the rear wheels which is why he had minimal control.

    Twice I have seen the reverse - too much weight on the tow-bar. In the first the car was all over the road approaching me with it's wheels dancing on and off the road.
    The second was in a parking lot at a shopping centre. A Ford F-250 with an empty tray and a covered single axle trailer that was depressing the tow bar so hard that the front wheels were almost leaving the ground when there was no-one in the cab. I raced in to buy a cheap camera to get a photo of the "Public servant and proud" of it bumper sticker across the front of the bonnet/hood but it was gone when I came out.

    I will not call them complete idiots because they are missing too many brain cells.
