1.
How you describe the actions of a driver that shows complete obliviousness to their surroundings.
Typical examples include rolling into pedestrians on the sidewalk, opening car doors into oncoming traffic, and going the wrong way down one-way streets.
Me: "That car almost backed into that baby carriage!"
You: "Yep, they were totally Pulling a Winnetka."
