What’s the craziest thing you’ve seen someone driving do?
My kid’s just finished the classroom part of driver education and it prompted a discussion of crazy things we’ve seen other drivers do.
The craziest thing I saw, many years ago now, was I came up behind a guy driving a Ford Ranger pickup and could see through his rear window that he was doing tricep extensions with a dumbbell in his right hand. I was more surprised as I passed to see he was shaving with an electric razor in his left hand. I don’t really know how he was steering.
Kiddo said they were told personal grooming was the fourth leading cause of accidents.
Was back when I was 19 or 20, was hanging out with my buddies from home over the summer while on break
We were at a McDonald's at 1:30 or 2 am. Kid around our age comes screeching into the McDonald's parking lot, going over curbs and everything, sparks flying from two wheels. He had punctured both his front tires and was riding on rims. Turns out one of my friends knew him - he takes a look, looks at the guy, goes "yo man, you probably don't wanna drive on those"
Kid goes "yeah well I really want McDonald's I'm gonna go home after"
My friend goes "you live about 15 min away, you really shouldn't drive."
He gets his shit and starts driving, sparks still going off. Were a little concerned so we follow him. 200 feet later he gets pulled over, so we pull over behind the cop. The cop looks at us and goes "do you guys know this idiot?"
My buddy's like yeah...
Cop says you should get him in your car.
Kid refuses. Drives 8 miles home in rims. Smoke everywhere, most awful sound you've ever heard. We follow him home, I find out he's dumb rich.
We go into his guest house, which was bigger than all of our actual houses, smoke one, then leave.
