I think the worst I've ever seen was a cab driver (naturally) who
was taking me from hotel to airport in Montreal. Every time he turned
around to talk to be (in French - which I don't speak) his foot would
push down on the gas, and the tires would start spinning on the snow
and ice covered street. Haven't been back since.

Letting go of anything, pulling the wheel, etc. while looking back
strikes me as singularly unprofessional for a professional driver.

Who said anything about a professional? It's a taxi driver. ;-)[A]

As to bad driving, taking a bus going steeply up on some twisty little
hill[1][2], passing slow traffic (tractor with a fully loaded trailer),
and missing the bus coming down by mere centimeters.

Where's the problem? They missed.

The front of the bus of course full of dangly little charms. They're
all catholic there, but I'm sure it works -- they need it to work.

That's sort of like the windoze users running all of their anti-mal-ware
software that takes as many CPU cycles as the browser they used to
install the mal-ware in the first place. I must say that I've seen the
same form of charms on vehicles in Zambia and in the Philippines

They all paint their hair black again too.

I'm reminded of a Sicilian joke - but we won't go there TYVM

[1] The Dutch'd call it a mountain. ISTR at least half a km high.
[2] While on vacation on some Canary Island.

Depends on the island. Lanzarote and Fuertenentura get a bit over 670
meters - Pico de Teide on Tenerife is over 3700 meters. That's not as
high as Mont Blanc or the Matterhorn, but it's still respectable.

[A] I can laugh at that - my father was a cab driver in the mid 1930s
and again in the late 1950s.
