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. :)

We drove past this a couple of weeks ago in the garden of a perfectly ordinary semi. It was considerably taller than the house.

Sorry - better photo.

I didnt see this but its very apt for this post

My sister and her boyfriend were on the way to a fancy dress party. They broke down on the m1.
They were dressed as Aladdin and Jasmine..
Mid summer no way to cover up
Sat on the side of the m1 for 4 hours

Someone on a mobility scooter with a single mattress strapped across the font, where the basket goes.

Driving along a 3mile long stretch of road and there were clothes scattered all along it.
Anything from socks & underwear to trousers & jumpers
It was odd - how did they get there? How could someone not notice they were leaving their entire wardrobe along the road?

Wonder if someone hasn't realised they've lost their roof box? Seen that happen before!

I used to travel on the M6 / M6 toll.

A spitfire being towed by a perfectly normal car, it's wings had been removed and put at the sides.

A few swans, about 7-8 with the police trying to catch them.

I'm turning on to the slip road from the M6 toll, and I meet a car coming the other direction, ie on the wrong side of the

Not on the M6

A cow, making a run for it followed by a farmer.

Near me there is almost always either an adult man cycling with an open can of beer in one hand or a girl in pyjamas, again on a bike.

There is a life size giraffe in a garden not far away, it peeps out over a fence onto the road.

There is a junction near my dad's, the left lane splits in two for if you want to turn left or right. I pull up to turn right, a car next to is already stopped wanting to go left.

We are waiting because a car is driving up the road and we expect it to pass and then turn into the road.

But no, the car turns right between us. We doth looked at each other with a WTF look.

@SolitudeNotLoneliness if that's the weirdest thing you saw in Blackpool you are lucky.

A very flashy soft top car, top down, speeding past us all on the M6, even flashing at one car to get out of the way.

Saw it a few miles further on, on the hard shoulder, putting the roof back on when the skies had opened. I waved as we passed and I doubt I was the only one.

A massive Winnie the Pooh in the passenger seat of a sports car at a petrol station. Told my husband about it and he bought me the same one at Schipol airport and then drove it home to me in the passenger seat of his car. Maybe we started a trend 😀

Near the exit to our local Tescos there is a mini roundabout. We were following a Tesco delivery van with their logo on the side- "You shop, we drop". The van entered the roundabout, the back doors flew open and crates of shopping fell out onto the road!
Very sadly this was before we owned a dashcam 😥

Other odd things - a trailer carrying a full sized gondola on the motorway near Sheffield, a white peacock on the verge near our house (thought I was dreaming but it turned out it belonged to a local smallholder. A couple of years later his rheas escaped; glad it wasn't me who encountered them!)

Just before lockdown when everyone was panic buying I was waiting at a roundabout on the way home from work. Someone had written in the dirt on the white van in front of me "no toilet rolls stored in this van overnight "

I had to double take, motorcyclists helmet was a rabbit head complete with ears attached. I have a dashcam hope it’s still recorded.
Best one is Boxman on the A37 started during lockdown, no matter what day I was driving along we would see this chap. Cardboard box with a smiling face drawn on and a white sheet covering clothes. It made the local press not sure if his identity was ever revealed!!! It even continued after restrictions had been lifted.
