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. :)

I've not read the rest of the thread - I saw a similarly (un)clad man standing outside the local Co-op chatting to a van driver a couple of weeks ago.

Christmas Eve last year Father Christmas rode along my street on a mobility scooter.

More frightening than funny: driving south on the M1 last year, I saw three young lads in a souped up Mini, all huffing helium, including the driver.

I don’t think that was what I was thinking of, unless my mind is playing tricks. Years ago that I saw it. In my head it was a model, not a skeleton, and not in the hall like that.
Maybe I have seen a model somewhere else and mixed them up in my head !

Driving north on the A1 just before Christmas there was a traffic jam. We ended up sat next to a van being driven by the Grinch.

Two things.
One was a couple of policemen trying to round up stray sheep on the motorway. I had a front seat view which my dash cam captured.
Second one was passing Mr Blobby, Scooby doo and Yogi Bear stood on the hard shoulder with a broken down car.
Oh and a man driving with his car roof down on his convertible in the falling snow, I assume that either the mechanism had failed, or he was from Siberia.

A man pushing a wheelbarrow with a fully decorated Christmas tree, it was a Christmas Eve night and almost midnight.

Father Christmas driving a Corsa, smoking a fag and Ed Sheeran blasting out,

A very pissed off bloke with planks of wood sticking out of his boot and windscreen, assume he’d smashed the windscreen trying to get the wood in car.

It was quite fresh in my mind, because we had a week in and around London last summer and we took the hooliganess.

I've also seen someone transporting a single mattress on a mobility scooter

Went to Blackpool during October half term.

Stood at traffic lights on the front by the North pier.

While waiting to cross a red Nissan micra (the old model like a square shape) drove passed trimmed round the inside of the car with Led lights and the 4 occupants (driver and 3 passengers) wearing white sheets dressed as ghosts and wearing shades 😂

We all were looking at each looking puzzled other as they drove past us slowly.

Drove past not passed argh!

Whilst in Texas (I'm not joking) a lit bbq towed by a car. A few years later in Florida whilst on the highway there was a car with a wheelchair tied to its door, swinging around.

The 1st time I saw an Amazon delivery robot, in Buckinghamshire. It made me take a double glance to see what it was. I think it was preparing to go across a zebra crossing too.

You're not going mad, there is a model as well, in the Whale Hall.

So there I was, many years ago, on the North Circular in That London. Heading home after a weekend with the family. I pull up at the front of the queue at one of those multi lane traffic lights. And a man cycles up between the traffic. He’s clad all in Lycra. White Lycra. White Lycra that has seen some action. White Lycra that has done some miles. He’s also done some miles, and he’s sweating like a good’un. Into his threadbare, white, skintight Lycra shorts. Under which he is wearing precisely fuck all. Which I know, because the centre seam and a good inch to either side has become totally transparent, unveiling his sweaty arsecrack to the whole of North London.

I glance to my right, aghast, and meet the eyes of a woman in the passenger seat of the next car, and we share a brief moment of horror before the lights change and we all head off, with our arses either covered or, erm, not.

Still makes me smile to this day 😂 I do hope that man has invested in some better quality shorts though…

Kayakers probably find a bit of rain relatively dry compared to their sport!

Agreed, but car upholstery takes ages to dry when it’s been rained on. I know this because I accidentally left a window open overnight once!

Thanks for that ! Amazing seeing the model there.

How did we (I) miss that?! Abject apologies, SirVix !

About 4.30 in the afternoon in Glasgow's West End, a middle-aged, well-dressed woman having a full on rave to herself in the middle of the street. Bit like a silent disco. She was loving life.

On holiday in San Fransico and was a bit freaked out by the driverless cars, an accident waiting to happen, are they safe thoughts ....... that was until i noticed the driver behind was texting on his phone whilst steering one handed with a small dog in the crook of his arm not really paying to much attention. Just then my thoughts changed
