Okay, for the "useless humor" section, I am curious to know what is the craziest thing you have seen another driver doing while actually behind the wheel of a car or truck (or other vechile, as it applies). Please keep it to clean fun, and the driver can be stopped at a light as well as moving - though moving occurances will be preferred. *Please don't try any of these at home!*

It'll start off...

Driving back from work a few years ago along North Avenue into Elmhurst I kept seeing this little old blue Corolla. The driver kept asking people to roll down thier windows. He would pull up next to people (myself included) and try to ask a question. He did this while stopped at lights as well as driving along.

A few lights up the road, I see the Corolla in front of me, talking back and forth with someone in an old Cordoba. Finally I see the Cordoba driver grab a pack of cigarrettes, and toss them out the window of his car at the Corolla driver. They fell on the street, and the Corolla driver jumped out and picked them up, grinning from ear to ear! There you have it - a guy who bums cigarettes while driving!!

 

I had decided to show my friends what AWD donuts look like when I had my evo *pushing 350whp* and turned into the first parking lot I could find and proceeded to light up all 4 tires, then walked it out, well as far as you can in an AWD car. What I didn't bother looking at was that there was a mini-police station less than 500' from me, with guys sitting in their cruisers talking

 

Saw a guy doing 80mph down the freeway swerving in and out of traffic. Upon closer inspection I saw that his daughter was sitting in his lap driving and his other kids were in the back seat jumping around not wearing any seatbelts.

 

Driving through downtown Seattle on I-5 about 8:00 am. I look over to my right as I pass a little 70 something Volkswagen beetle only to see the driver steering with his knee and trying to light a questionable pipe. Guess he was trying to get his morning started.

 

Sounds about right Blue, we've got plenty of those types up here. That should be as good a reason as any for automatic suspension.
I still see kids sitting up on 40/20/40 (armrests/consoles). I think to myself everytime where those little ones would land after exiting through the windshield.

 

What's wrong with driving with your knee?

 

I've seen several different truckers reading books, while driving. And they weren't road maps, either.

 

I've seen guys and gals doing, lets see, how should I put this, naughty things (XXX) while driving. I've seen people reading books. I seen alot of women putting on there faces.

 

funniest thing when it comes to them puttin on their faces at a red light.... if you pull up behind them and honk they will drop everythin and go







regardless of what color the light is when you honk

 

As a truck driver I've seen individuals involved in what I guess you would call self gratification, but the craziest is a driver in Cali being chased by CHP flipped a u-turn on I-580 and went up the on ramp against traffic, the CHP followed . Don't know what happened after that.

I saw a old couple stop in the left lane of a 4 lane divided highway, back up to turn right and get on a interstate.
I almost hit them and so did 5 others.

I also saw 4 kids in a small car-running about 70-75 on a interstate - and about 8-10 lengths ahead of my yank their sreeting wheel to the left and stand on the brakes. They quickly did a 360, slam into the left side barriers and get back on the throttle to pass us again. They were laughing. I was pulling a trailer!!!

 

Who said stupid isn't fun?

 

Not singling anybody out, but let's leave the things better left unsaid just that, unsaid.
Safe to say a lot of us have seen those things while driving (if not participated).

Admission to guilt?

Same here.

 

One day i was in the fast lane doing about 70mph, when i saw small pieces of cardboard appearing on the road ahead of me. No big deal, just cardboard. Im behind a van that is 5 car lengths ahead (not far at 70mph) when all of a sudden I see the van jerk to the right lane, leaving me all of .62 of a sec. to check to my immediate right and swerve over to hardly miss a complete idiot that had completely stopped, got out of the car, walked around to the front of the car to pull off a feekin piece of CARDBOARD, IN the FAST LANE ..... ON A CURVE.......in 70mph RUSH HOUR traffic! I mean this had just happened, so there was no traffic jam or anything to slow cars down. They are all just blazing around and past her.

I almost had to pull over because i was so shocked at how close i had come to absolutely plowing through that small car with the lady in front of it.
