Question

LUNATICS BEHIND THE WHEEL.What have you seen on the road that has left you dumbfounded.?

Answer 1

Standing and waiting to cross this road, I saw...

A Dominos guy zooming down the road, with his hands on either side of his steering wheel, head down, eyes shut, mouth open, yanking his head side to side and up and down to his music.

be careful when you cross the street...

Answer 2

Try driving (or being driven in Russia) roads are pot-holed, dusty and everyone makes two lanes into three or four by barging in.  Imagine a two lane highway with three or four cars line up at the lights and you may see what I mean.  Fun!

Answer 3

My biggest pet-peeve are cops who don't use their turn signals! It makes me so angry.  Why do they think they are immune?  Wouldn't you get pulled over if you turned without signaling in front of a cop?

That leaves me dumbfounded.

Answer 4

a while back my hubby and me were driving down our road and some idiot pulled out of a junction in front of us going at god knows what speed, luckily my hubby slammed his brakes down just in time and the other pratt just carried on... about 5 seconds later a police car came screaming down the road so guess he was on the run but still if he'd hit us it could have been very nasty indeed. and this was just after id found out i was pregnant. there are some careless idiots out there

Answer 5

Lunatics? It's more like imbeciles. But honestly the stupidest c**p I've seen usually involves drunken pedestrians.

Answer 6

everyone is a lunatic to someone else. I would guess we all do something about every day that makes others wonder if we have a full load of bricks.

Answer 7

There was a driver driving a Honda CRV and I don't know why the vehicle driving straight in a slow motion suddenly just swerved to the pavement and created a smoke (vehicle not on fire). Luckily, the vehicle missed a lamp pole on the pavement and driver + passanger is okay, but the vehicle was left by the roadside with the driver sitting by the pavement, shakened.

Reasons why it looks silly:

1) The vehicle is too slow to go out of control.

2) The vehicle is moving straight, and suddenly swerved, but still in a slow motion.

The driver must be dreaming then...

This happened near my home...

Answer 8

The freakin rude people who seem to think that they're the ONLY ones on this earth driving and go SO BLOODY SLOW or at least below the speed limit and block traffic and cause traffic.....gosh I hate that, they really need to remember that there's other people on the road who actually want to get somewhere and don't have all day to do it.

Answer 9

People that talk on cell phones and end up getting in accidents and trying to blame it on the other person.

Two people fighting in the back of a car.

The guys or girls that have their drivers seat basically in the back of the seat (leaning back) while driving.

Also, the old people that go like 20-30 mph in a 50-60 mph lane.

Them are the main ones right now.

Answer 10

We were behind a car once who was veering over and baack between the ditch and the far side. The car actually clipped 4 other cars which it was meeting but he kept going as if he didnt notice. We rang the police in the next town and they pulled the car in as it was going through the town, thankfully!

Not quite behind the wheel, but behind his handle bars more like.

Answer 21

I'm a land surveyor and spend many hours standing in the middle of the road surrounded by cones. Yesterday in Oakland, CA, cars slowed down to pass on my right and on 3 separate occasions the guy behind them immediately hits the gas and blows by them to the LEFT side of me. On downtown streets. Simply amazing. But at least I'm still standing, thanks to those cones!!

Answer 22

Too many to enumerate. The bottom line is this:

1) The faster you drive, the more likley you are to die in your car. (Driving too slowly causes crashes too, but the number is statistically insignificant.)

2) The most frequent factor in crashes is lane departure . . .

3) Most often caused by distracted drivers.

Stay attentive. Drive near the speed limit. Report dangerous drivers. Survive.

Answer 23

i don't drive, but one time i saw two guys egg a car...while driving. They came out of their car and stared beating up a guy with a bat...

Answer 24

A man was blissfully driving along the highway, when he saw the Easter Bunny hopping across the middle of the road. He swerved to avoid hitting the Bunny, but unfortunately the rabbit jumped in front of his car and was hit. The basket of eggs went flying all over the place. Candy, too.

The driver, being a sensitive man as well as an animal lover, pulled over to the side of the road, and got out to see what had become of the Bunny carrying the basket. Much to his dismay, the colorful Bunny was dead.  

The driver felt guilty and began to cry.

A woman driving down the same highway saw the man crying on the side of the road and pulled over. She stepped out of her car and asked the man what was wrong.

"I feel terrible," he explained, "I accidentally hit the Easter Bunny and killed it. There may not be an Easter because of me. What should I do? "

The woman told the man not to worry. She knew exactly what to do. She went to her car trunk, and pulled out a spray can. She walked over to the limp, dead Bunny, and sprayed the entire contents of the can onto the little furry animal.

Miraculously the Easter Bunny came to back life, jumped up, picked up the spilled eggs and candy, waved its paw at the two humans and hopped on down the road. 50 yards away the Easter Bunny stopped, turned around, waved and hopped on down the road another 50 yards, turned, waved, hopped another 50 yards and waved again!!!!

The man was astonished.

He said to the woman, "What in heaven's name is in your spray can? What was it that you sprayed on the Easter Bunny?"

The woman turned the can around so that the man could read the label.

It said: "Hair spray. Restores life to dead hair. Adds permanent wave."

Answer 25

I was walking across the street at an intersection and was almost run down by a woman driving a big SUV while talking on the phone and with a child in the seat next to her. She never saw me and just kept on driving.

Oh, did I say she ran a red light.

Answer 26

About 3 weeks ago, in the queue to enter a large roundabout.  The elderly lady in the car in front decided to turn right into oncoming traffic.

Answer 27

Well,  yesterday it was an idiot parked in the middle (at least a metre off the kerb) of the nearside lane on the narrowest and busiest part of the A19 on outer edge of York - talking on his bloody mobile phone.

The traffic was queueing up half a mile back, waiting to pass this idiot.

Guess what?   He was a driving instructor, and it was his company car!

Answer 28
