Aah, the good old Darwin Award!

My nomination: I saw a young man on an electric skateboard (i.e. handsfree, no handlebars) in the middle of the road, near our house, going at an unreasonable speed, looking at his phone, paying no attention to the road. Technically this is a 40 kph (25 mph) residential area but in fact the majority of car drivers around here choose to believe it is 60 or even 80 kph or more (40 to 50 mph) and are a danger to self and others, e.g. the guy on the skateboard.
