eating + coffee + texting/talking on cellphone + driving 85 mph

making a LEFT turn at an intersection during a red light.

people do it. I hope they're taken off the road before someone is hurt or killed.

some ass merged 'into' thecar in front of me in Brentwood today. The idiot cut off this pack of black guys who cut him off jumped outta their car and that's all i saw.

Well deserved

Heh, yeah, evidence of extreme driving stupidity was on BBC News a week or so ago.
Some 22 year old lass putting makeup on while driving (mirror in one hand, lipstick in the other). Dumb as all hell.

I'd have problems too, if I was driving and trying to read a newspaper that's in spanish.

aesir

so yeluis, you were taking pictures of people who were driving, while driving?

spacemonkey

the trouble is we all become complacent while driving. We do it so much that we take it for granted and no one ever considers what they are actually doing.
I think this image captures the insanity of humans driving!

If you step back and think about it, when you let monkies drive rocekts on wheels they are going to scratch their balls and eat banana's while they do it.

A guy I know saw some guy driving down the freeway and trying to practice playing a trumpet. That's probably the craziest one I've heard so far. I would have loved photo evidence like yeluis' though

I recall a friend (or was it a co-worker?) telling me he spotted a lorry driver jerking off while driving.

I know of truck drivers who've pee'd in bottles and tossed them - while driving, so they don't have to stop and lose 'precious' minutes queuing at a service station.

ebagg

People who think that roads are race tracks, I've seen a ton of "riced-out" cars where the drivers are speeding and swerving like a bat out of hell.

Sometimes I want a TOW mounted on my roof.

HonkyPunch

I should buy some sort of non lethal firearm (such as an airsoft gun) and mount it on the first car I buy. And if I see someone talking on the phone/putting on makeup, or any of that shit, i pop them one.
hehheh.

Amen.

The Mrs. saw someone rear-end a bus today. It just 'appeared' in front of the driver I suppose.

I wish public transportation in the States wasn't so spotty.

HonkyPunch

Then again, having any form of lethal weapon on your vehical (preferably a TOW) Would be a more effective detterent. Plus, if you had to use it, they couldn't fuck up again.

I have read while driving. I read most of the manual for Lords of the Realm whilst driving from home to college and back. Couldn't be bothered to read a textbook in a horribly dangerous situation, oh no.

I've also jerked off while driving. I'm sorry to be so honest. It was nighttime, and the act was deliciously naughty. I recommend it! But be sure the paper towels have been taken from the glove compartment and placed on the passenger seat beforehand. This point cannot be overstressed.

I finally rolled my car when, with nothing in either hand but the steering wheel (the hands at 2 and 10, no less), I swerved at 75 MPH to miss a bunny rabbit. Figures.

Awesome tip Mal, but I find that I don't need to worry about that on my motorcycle. The airspeed usually deals with it. Keep your visor shut though!

notman

You two need to learn how to combine the jerking off with the pissing in a bottle trick

Gmanx

Jugs of Cum!

teehee

Daz, that must be quite a wang if you can get enough of it out of your leathers to give it a choke >.<

hawken

friend of mine skinned up a join whilst driving once.

but no you shouldn't do dangerous stuff ladies and gentlement. and mind you P's and Q's when talking to the elderly!

bearkub

There are things I don't want to know, and then, beyond that, there are things that Mal posts.

TNSLB

but kub, I LOOOOVE the things Mal posts. He's like...a male cooler version of me.

I think the worst I've seen was during rush hour (the freeway wasn't packed but the meters were on and backed up) a guy lighting up a bong behind me.

He's your Tyler Durden.

While driving once I had a bottle of V8 spicy in the drink holder by my leg. I turned the car and the thing tipped all over my leg. However, the smart thing i did was to not let that effect me. I said to myself.. "so what.. keep driving safe, thats all that matters, you dont want a huge accedent because v8 spilled on my leg"

I saved the day basicly, because I acted cooooool

Ninjas

I once puked all over myself while driving down the freeway. That is exactly what I said to myself when people looked in at me, "Stay cooool"

I was also in the car when my friends girlfriend casually lit up a bong and started taking hits at the stop lights while she was driving. She smoked so much pot though that I would be afraid if she wasn't stoned.

Note the paper is in some foreign tongue.
I don’t drive but I’ve been on a bus that was hit by a car because the guy had to DJ. Sadly no pictures but just go ahead and picture any stoner so high looks like he has two glass eyes and you got the idea.

Dukester

How come people can talk to someone in the car with them and still drive reasonably well, but attach a phone to their ear and they slow down and weave like the morons that they are

Back in high school an example of extreme driving stupidity was a kid 'Sterling' I had met and was hanging out with. He was a new student from Atlanta fresh in Colorado just a few weeks. We're at a stoplight facing uphill in his mom's Volvo pulled up next to a Mercedes full of big black CU football players. He made some really crude racial comment loud enough for them to hear - which I guess is what you do in Atlanta. I just spread my hands and shook my head at the Mercedes. They looked at him like it would be too much effort to get out and quarter him so they blew it off. Nowadays I'm sure Sterling is off kicking shit somewhere - or beaten to death.

Weiser_Cain

I knew a guy in high school. He got a car pretty early, we'd only see him when his car was wrecked, which since he was a meth addict was surprisingly frequent.

yeluis

there are some weird and funny stories being posted here. When i was learning to drive i bumped the car into a cop in a motorcycle that didnt go over too well
