[edit] Drunk driving

Jón “idiot” Keplan from Straumsvík is a legend in drunk driving. The sport is originally from Kópavogur but Jón made revolutionary changes to the game that have resulted in Kópavogur declaring war on Straumsvík on several occations. Still, the common consensus amongst experts is that the changes to the rules have made the sport more appealing to young people. Instead of scoring the most points by merely bumping pedestrians, the participant drives close to it, bombarding the horn and shouting various profanities at it. The score is determined by a mean between how far the pedestrian runs and for how long. Getting the pedestrian to freeze in terror gives extra points according to how long he stays in that state. For this reason, old people are generally considered the most appealing targets. Disputes about results are common in this sport since the direct aim is to be in a mental state of drunken frenzy while participating. As with most disputes in Iceland, a fight to the death is expected.
