Funniest thing you’ve seen when driving?

[Sorrylove]

I was sat a queue or traffic today and I a lady in the opposite direction wanted to turn right in front of me. Usually I try to leave space in this situation so people can turn right onto a different road but I hadn’t noticed as it was a private dirt road / driveway (my bad - please let me know if the rules about leaving space apply for private dirty roads / drives as it’s got me pondering!)

The woman looked visibly annoyed but that was diluted by the fact her whole face was painted like a Dalmatian’s 😂.

Pleas let me know your funny driving stories. :)

A local gentleman rides round town on his cycle - naked.

A turkey pecking at the hedgerow on the side of the road

A group of vikings in full gear with swords and shields walking down the road

A man in a high end black car, with the top down, dressed in a black suit and cool sunglasses, with slicked black hair. The car's registration was SAT4N and he had just exited from the A666 Salford onto the motorway around Manchester 😂

They are doggles if they’re on a dog 😁

😂😂😂

The driver looked like Doc too!

A pick up truck with a camel in the back was a daily occurrence when I was in the ME.

Two horses in the McDonald's drive through in front of me which I thought was genius.

Long time ago - bloke next to me at traffic lights - sports car, revving madly, glancing at me clearly expecting me to be impressed, intending to burn me off. Except he put the car into reverse and backed at speed into the car behind. No-one hurt but his car was a mess.

This happened to me, he parked next to me
Mine was x2 xxx
His was x3 xxx
He was not happy 😅

Pulled up at traffic lights next to another car, could see movement out of the corner of my eye and turned to look and the driver and passenger (both young men) were wearing dog costumes and doing sit down "dancing" in their seats. Really made me smile!

Oh another one, more bizarre. Was a passenger in my mum's car and we were queuing to exit a car park. Car in front wasn't moving and we noticed the couple in it seemed to be having a blazing row. The woman (driver) then reached across, opened the passenger door and shoved the man out into the road. Strangest thing of all, he had no trousers on, just underpants plus normal top half clothing including jacket. She then flung a handful of money (coins) at him and roared off leaving him scrabbling in the road in his pants trying to pick it all up. So strange.

Cars perched on top of 6ft hedges are not unknown around my way. The last one I saw was also wrapped around the telegraph pole emerging from the hedge

I do wonder how on earth people manage to crash and end up in such a situation.

I wonder if he spends all day driving around the M60 to go up and down the A666 just to look cool? Wish I'd seen him the last time I passed it 😂

I once saw a learner car with the driving instructor in the drivers seat and a large dog in the passenger seat. It looked like the dog was teaching him how to drive. I still giggle about it.

I've also seen someone brushing their teeth in rush hour traffic but that was less funny and more gross/dangerous.

A cat politely waiting at a zebra crossing. My mum was driving, she stopped to let it cross and the car on the other side had stopped too

UK, 60mph road, a Lambretta or Vespa scooter transporting a front door laid on its side in the 'footwell' !

I saw these on the back of a lorry one day back in 2012!

Some years ago driving to South Wales. Following a white Nissan Skyline. It was really going some, round roundabouts on two wheels, overtaking etc. The driver was really having fun with it on some of the more rural Welsh roads (safely I add!).
Caught up with it in town when we pulled up alongside it at lights, it turning left, us straight on. I looked over to the driver to see an old lady who was easily in her eighties. Hope I'm still having that much fun when I'm that age.

Another (also wales oddly) was a guy driving through Aberystwyth with a home made cage attached to the back of his car on a rope, teetering on two wheels, with a terrified looking collie in the back. Presumably a working dog he didn't want making a mess in his car. It looked a deathtrap and was heading for the A55. I called the Police who passed us shortly after and pulled him over.

I saw a guy on York ring road navigating a roundabout on his bicycle. Which was a Penny Farthing. It was very tall and his feet were 3 foot off the ground which made me wonder how he could stop for oncoming traffic?

I was once following a Volkswagen Beetle which appeared that it was be being driven by a large Old English sheepdog. We got to a dual carriageway, I noticed that it was in fact a left-hand drive car, and was actually being driven by a small woman, who was totally out of sight when viewed from behind, and the sheepdog was actually in the passenger seat.

A driver with a mattress on the roof of the car no rack just held with a hand ( so one hand steering the other holding the mattress) .
He was driving real slow .

What a great thread!

On the way to a football match in stationary motorway traffic, a chap from a car full of opposing team's supporters hopped out to pee on the hard shoulder, gesticulating and waving himself at our team's cars. The traffic started up again suddenly and quite quickly and we all enjoyed watching him running at full pelt along the hard shoulder stuffing himself back into his trousers.

During a service station stop on holiday, a car full of lads swerved at speed around the car park before pulling into the disabled parking space nearest the entrance and making utter nuisances of themselves for 20 minutes or so before speeding off again. It was immensely satisfying to see that they'd been pulled over about 30 miles down the road and were all out, looking terrified and trying to meekly explain themselves to a couple of highly unimpressed rozzers.

I live close to a steam railway attraction, so it's not unusual to see steam engines on the roads here, including Thomas and his assorted hangers-on.

One of my relatives lives in Herefordshire not too far from a village called Mordiford. Someone has tinkered with the sign so that it now reads "Welcome to Mordor".

I was once looking after a friend's dog, a vast Giant Schnauzer with long unkempt fur. She was sitting in the front passenger seat (my dog was in the back), secured with a dog-seat belt. A policeman pulled me over and angrily demanded to know "if the child in the front of my car" was wearing a seatbelt. He asked twice before he looked up and saw Betty the dog staring back at him. He gave a piercing cry of "it's a dog!" and leapt back in surprise, almost falling over backwards. Without thinking I replied "Yes, she's got my eyes and her father's tail. We're very proud of her." I thought I was going to get into awful trouble for that, but he just said "thank you for stopping, but I'll let you get on your way now, madam." I chuckled for ages until it occurred to me that he believed that a Giant Schnauzer was my child. I worry about facial hair now.

Had an ex who lived near this crazy guy who had a car planted in his front garden. Im talking stood up on it's nose end with it's entire bonnet in the ground.

A convertible mini with its top down. Sticking up from the back seats at a jaunty angle was a kayak, with the paddle (oar? whatever) in the front passenger seat. I was very impressed, but I did wonder how the woman driving transports her canoe when it’s raining

A camel grazing in a field. This was in West London,about 25 years ago. I later found out that a circus was preparing to set up in the field (back in the days when there were no laws prohibiting the use of animals in circuses).
