Such was this case of this 22 year-old biker caught terrorizing citizens of Herzogenrath, a small town near Aachen in western Germany. The scooter-borne bully rode around reign of terror until taking a taking a corner and crashing, losing his helmet in the process according Aachen police.

But that wasn't all. After the accident, he mounted his scooter again to have two more successive accidents.

He plowed straight into a parked car and flew head over heels into the back window and into the car. Onlookers tried to stop him then and there, but he had crawled out of the wrecked automible and continued to speed away on his scooter.

Third time, he had been riding as passenger in the scooter, apparently with some dimwitted buddy in control. They had both crashed in gas station where police were summoned and arrested the two. The man had been held on suspicion of drunk driving and fleeing the scene of an accident.

So what kept him going, to have three accidents within a two-hour period on a scooter? According to an Aachen police spokesperson "He had no driving ability. However, he was obviously a fairly tough fellow." Umm, do you mean tough or thick-headed? To me this numbskull is a perfect example of why some people shouldn't be allowed behind the wheel of any vehicle, not even a scooter. Though he survived all three accidents, I think our scooter bandit is still well-worthy of an honorable mention.

The fact that he "kept on ticking" AFTER being thrown through the back window of a car is what did it for me. This guy IS a bonehead!

I've got to wonder if he was on something more powerful than alcohol. Good story though!

An ordinary vehicle accident or even a history of generally bad driving wouldn't be too common. However, this is more of a motor vehicle accident binge. This may be worth further consideration here because this spree goes so far beyond one unwise choice on the road.
