Watch out! Here we have a list of absolutely crazy things people have seen on the road and couldn't keep to themselves. Whether you're a new driver or a seasoned one, this list will still shock you to your core. We have clueless drivers, flying cars, and Impossible situations that gave us a heart attack. Remember, stay safe when you're driving and use your head, or you might end up like the drivers below. So get ready, and this is your official warning, so don't say we didn't warn you!
Mail Order
Here we have a mailbox that is probably a lot stronger than it looks. This mailbox survived a meeting with the front end of a car, and as a bonus, also managed to grab onto the license plate of the poor car that hit it.
We guess tracking down the culprit won't be too hard with their actual number plate hanging on the mailbox. Also, this mailbox looks pretty darn good for getting hit by a car, and it's still standing perfectly fine. We don't think the mailman would even notice something happened.
Poison Is Subjective
Sometimes you just got to pick your battles in life. This person decided it was best to put a sticker on the back window of her car to notify the entire world that tap water filled with fluoride is so bad for you, it's literally poison.
Yet, this person went out and bought a pack of cigarettes, lit one up, and placed one in their hands. Not sure they understand the definition of poison, or even for that matter, what a cigarette is made of. After reading what's inside a tiny cigarette, fluoride doesn't look all that bad.
Don't Park In The Dark
Some cars sail smoothly on the road, while other cars manage to land head-first in an enormous pile of snow. This car is the latter, succeeding where others have failed before. It somehow managed to find itself in quite a situation.
As the snow began to melt, this car was left stranded on the very top of the snow pile. Now, all that there's left to do is to wait for the rest of the snow to disappear, so the car could be released from its icy hold.
Destined To Crash
A one-in-a-million collision. These two cars were the only ones on this road in Belgrade, Serbia, and they still managed to get into a crash while waiting for the light to change at the intersection. How unfortunate can you get?
Look around, there is no one else in sight. No else, no people, no cars, no trucks, absolutely nothing! And yet somehow the driver in the silver car still collided with the misfortunate vehicle in front of it. Someone, please take the silver car driver's license away from them.
Forming A Line
These drivers didn't think they were in the wrong lane as they sat waiting for the car ahead of them to move. No one suspected there might be another reason for this unique traffic jam. Although, if you look closely, you'll notice that next to the cars in the back there is another lane for parking.
We hope these drivers realized their amusing mistake sooner rather than. Try and imagine the driver of the parked car, coming to see this humongous line behind them, waiting for him to leave. Now imagine the driver after them, realizing what they've done.
Bummer For The Hummer
One would assume that after filling up five gas cans and placing them inside your very expensive Hummer, you would not even consider lighting a cigarette anywhere near it. This Hummer's unlucky and honestly, stupid driver, did just that, and his actions led to his Hummer to explode away.
Those gas cans look like they belong somewhere in hell, with their melted, hideous appearance. They should serve as a reminder, not only to that driver but to us as well. Don't light a cigarette next to gas unless you're looking for your car to go boom.
Drunk Driver Vs Drunk Driver
Thank you, Derbyshire Roads Policing Unit for tweeting this amusing and very sad battle of drunk drivers. You got to be pretty drunk to forget you're drunk and call the police to report another person of being drunk, and that car crash is just the icing on the cake.
These drivers eventually were arrested, as they were, in fact, both drunk. If you can't drink and not get behind the wheel of your car, then please don't even think about drinking. It's not worth it, not for you and not for anyone around you.
No, You Can't
Sometimes you believe in yourself so much that you think you can get away with just about anything. This driver learned the very hard way that there are some things he just cannot do, when his truck proved too tall to go under the bridge. Aren't truck drivers supposed to know the height of their trucks?
Talk about irony. The "You can do it" motto, in this case, couldn't be more wrong. Maybe they should change their slogan now, seeing this picture is such bad press. But they say all publicity is good publicity, right?
A Bridge To Stupidity
We used to think that when drivers see barriers on the road, they will understand there is a pretty good reason for them to be there. Here you have an example of a bridge that's under construction and was blocked with barriers, but this driver just didn't care and thought the barriers are merely a suggestion.
This driver kind of got what they deserved. They lost their entire undercarriage after it hit those metal rods sticking out of the concrete floor, tearing the bottom of the car apart. Barriers are there for a reason, people! Another idiot, another lesson learned the hard way.
Caught the Bus
Someone was obviously trying to catch the bus. This driver admitted to his own mistake and his stupidity when this picture was posted, and we do hope he's learned a valuable lesson. It's a bus! They are pretty hard to miss on the road, in motion, and when they're parked.
The sign on the back of the bus predicted the future, "Impact your world". Did the car's driver read the sign and just get distracted by it? Maybe that's his way of making an impact.
Put On Some Sunscreen
Cars belong on the road, not at the beach sunbathing. These unlucky cars found themselves on the beach, turned upside down because we assume their drivers weren't the best at either driving or decision-making. A day at the beach sounds great, but not like this.
It is funny both cars managed to find themselves upside down the way they did. One car is an accident, but two cars? It looks more deliberate. At least the cars are getting some color on them. We hope they don't get tan lines.
The Merge
This was nothing short of a miracle. The driver who drove this 2007 Audi A4 somehow survived a horrific accident when another driver fell asleep at the wheel and hit it. Apparently, these cars are made in such a way that even if the exterior gets trashed, the inner compartment, where passengers are, remains relatively safe.
Someone from above was looking over this driver, keeping them safe. It just looks like a crushed tin can. The front wheel made it all the way to the backside, where the passengers should be. These are the terrifying consequences of falling asleep behind the wheel.
Stay In Your Lane
This is just proof it doesn't matter how safe, new, and advanced the car is because in the end the driver is still a human being, and in this situation, a dumb human being. The road is so far back, it seems this car deliberately tried to cross the ditch.
At least the doors opened up upwards, allowing the driver to escape back to safety. The people standing next to this catastrophe seem to be enjoying it though, cracking up and taking pictures. Who wouldn't want to post this online?
Damage Control
This is truly a series of misfortunate events. A pile-on of accidents, happening one after the other. The tow truck driver has some explaining to do, but in this case, it does look like a bad luck situation. How does this even happen?
Looking like an art installation, the gas station roof and the van are in perfect harmony, balancing each other out, frozen in time mid-air. Luckily, the second tow truck and van combo managed to go unscathed, it seems.
You're Supposed To Return The Nozzle
This driver showed us two things here. The first one is their terrible parking skills in what looks like an empty parking lot, and the second is them forgetting the nozzle in after they visited the gas station. A reasonable explanation might be rooted in excessive alcohol consumption, meaning they were drunk.
This driver kept on with their day in a backwards way. If the driver wasn't drunk, they should ask someone to show them how to park appropriately, with the lines designed to help them park straight. It's not that hard!
Cementing Your Place
Context is king, and in this one, we, unfortunately, don't have it. It would be easy to say this driver got what they deserved when they decided to break free from the line and onto freshly placed cement. But what if the driver tried to get their pregnant wife to the hospital because she was in labor?
Something about this image radiates different energy than the rest. Maybe this was an emergency, and the driver felt they had to go over the cones and drive through. So let's give them the benefit of the doubt and hope this disaster was at least well-intentioned.
A Public Announcement
Here's an example of a driver being dumb without even driving. The Earth is not flat, we repeat, it is not flat. There are times when you don't need to get into an accident to cause a commotion. It is funny how most people who believe in these theories always feel compelled to share their ideas with the public.
This driver must have thought they are doing a service to the community. "Look at me, everybody, I know things that you don't, and you have to listen to me!" We hope that they're not this aggressive on the road though.
Planking Car
We have an idea how you initially reacted to this picture when you first laid eyes on it. How did this driver get to where they are? We can eliminate the possibility of it flying there because last we checked, cars can't fly. So maybe a ramp had something to do with this balancing act?
This might be a prank because someone had to do this on purpose. The possibility of this being an accident is very low, and there are many prank stories involving cars placed in strange places, on rooftops, out at sea, and now on a safety barrier.
Get Ready, Set, Crash!
Some drivers just don't care. Not about their safety and not about yours. If a driver puts a sticker on his car that says: "Yes officer I did see the speed limit (I just didn't see you)," try and stay as far as possible from them. You don't want to be anywhere near that mess.
This driver got what they deserved. We hope they're okay, but this might serve as an important lesson for them going forward. Racing is for the race track, in a controlled environment. Stay out of public roads where other people are driving with their families.
If You Need A Sign, Here It Is
We feel bad for this driver. If anything, they are doing their best in a difficult situation. They tried to do the right thing but the police failed them by refusing to send an officer out to help them and sign a form so they could get a new license plate.
The last part got us laughing hard, "Please pull me over." This driver has nothing to lose anymore, and they are willing to go the distance to get out of this misfortune. We stand with you, and we see you, brave driver.
Someone Should Put This Driver In A Cage
This driver is hardly animal-friendly, and the internet sure has some strong feelings about them. We think all living things deserve the same amount of respect, and this is not the case here. This is just plain cruel.
There are so many alternatives to how this could have gone, and we simply can't understand why this driver thought this was a good idea. We just hope the cats survived this trip and that they're ok.
This Can't End Well
The desire to carry everything in one single trip is a universal trait we all share. Whether we are taking groceries out of the car and into the home, or delivering things that are a little more substantial, like this situation here. Here, the driver decided to carry the entire woodpile in one single drive.
This driver, although reckless, has impressed us with their bravery and packing abilities. This took some planning and execution abilities, no doubt. There is nothing humans can't do if they put their minds to it.
A Moving Company
Haven't we all done this at some point in our lives? Moving companies can be quite expensive, and when you're moving into a new apartment, it is just a lot of money out of your bank account. We get it! This driver tried their best and piled on most if not all of their furniture en route to their new home.
This is what we call a commitment. We spotted couches, drawers, and even a stove! All are placed carefully on top of each other and held with a single blue string. This driver wanted to avoid a second trip at all costs, and we're praying for the safety of their cargo, as well as their fellow drivers on the road.
Hanging From The Side
Here is a pretty good way to decapitate anyone standing on the side of the road. This is a reckless driver if we've ever seen one. The image appeared online after a person actually got hit by these panels and landed in the hospital with a few broken bones and a punctured lung. They're the ones who took this photo.
We wish the poor person in the hospital a fast recovery, and for the driver, we hope they got what they deserved. Next time, please get a professional to transfer your gigantic wooden panels. Someone could get hurt. Oh, wait.
Pole Crash
Before you are the consequences of watching Fast and Furious while not having a brain. The driver tried to imitate the film in real life, driving diagonally on the ramp, which resulted in a glorious crash. Also, this car is nothing like the cars from the film franchise.
To every driver who thinks they can pull off stunts like these, just let it go. It's not only incredibly dumb, but it's not worth losing your car over, and obviously, don't do it because you might lose more than your car next time.
Impaired Vision Or Impaired Brain?
Driving while not being able to see is never a good idea. This honest driver was pulling out of the gas station after an apparent attempt to clean their icy windshield. However, they didn't do such a great job because the windshield is still covered in thick ice.
We're not sure how this person tried to clear out the ice, but obviously, it didn't work, and they actually hit the person who took this photo because they couldn't see them. This is why you don't do things halfway. If you can't see what's ahead of you, better not attempt to drive!
Smooth Sailing
These tires are ready to go to tire heaven. It is a surprising sight to see tires in this condition on an expensive jeep like a Hummer. Could it be our driver didn't have enough money to cover for new tires? It is a strong possibility, as these tires are long overdue for a change.
We get it, the driver wanted to glide across the road like an ice rink, and they didn't want something stupid like friction to rain on their parade. Astonishingly, the Hummer is still on the road with those tires. We'd be terrified to go anywhere near this thing on the road.
Not Stupid But Cruel Beheviour
Another driver who belongs in jail. Some people just don't get it. Animals are living creatures just like us, and they deserve to be safe and taken care of. We hope someone reported this driver and had the horse taken away from them. This just seems cruel.
We really hope the horse survived this ride and that it was a one-time thing. Whenever someone buys a horse, they should also be sure they can take care of them and get a horse trailer if they need to move them around. Also, have a little compassion.
A levitation Act
And now for our next trick! Here we see a magical truck, able to carry its cargo with no support from a truck bed! When you have to meet deadlines, you will probably make a lot of bad decisions like this truck driver. It takes both courage and senselessness to drive off like this.
Look at it! It's floating in the air like it's truly made of magic. We're guessing here, it could just be Harry and Ginny moving their family to a new home after defeating the dark lord, he who shall not be named. Voldemort. There. We said it. Voldemort. We said it again.
When you Just Don't Get How Stupid You Really Are
Here is a driver who is clueless as to why parking lines exist. To make matters worse for them, they even decided to post this close encounter online only to find out they are the ones in the wrong. This driver got what they deserve, park better next time, please.
We feel this driver could use extra driving lessons to cover the basics of parking again. Who knows what other rules this driver doesn't understand.
Get Out Of The Car!!!
Technically, this is still something you can see on the road, just from the inside of the car. If you ever see anyone driving like this, get out of the car immediately! Don't risk your life because of some stupid driver. We hope no one gets in the car with this lunatic.
Driving like this is extremely dangerous for just about anyone near this driver. Driving at 95MPH, and having your legs crossed like this, means they have no control or even an opportunity to break if something on the road surprises them. It's pretty much instant death.
Cars Are Crossing
We can't stress how dangerous this is. Not just for the driver who thought this was legit, but for anyone around them. Was it worth it? It seems the stakes are very high here, and someone could get hurt if that car gets loose.
The black car is sticking out like a sore thumb, and we can't help but feel that something is about to happen. If the driver survived this wild ride, someone should give them a talk. So they could explain to them how insane they are!
Idiot Level: 9000
We are going to coin a new term, "dumb attracts dumber." These two tried to break into this car but failed to understand, it would be easier and cheaper to take the duct tape and plastic cover off the window in the back. Someone, please help them.
It is scary to think there are people out there who fail to miss this very simple thing. Looks like we need a better education system on a global scale. Teach people how to use their brains and solve a problem with a bit of thought beforehand.
How Are They Still Driving?
Warning! This driver is reckless, be careful when approaching! We would be terrified to share a road with this idiot. Maybe this is a joke, but it is not funny when you're driving behind them. Someone should rip that sticker off that car and save us all a lot of trouble.
The crazier part is someone deliberately made this sticker for the back window of their car. Did they buy it at the reckless driver store?
Jumping Over The Rail
This elderly driver is so lucky we don't even know where to start. We wonder how they got out of the car, though, after crashing into a building and hanging like that mid-air.
It's a debate worth having. Should elderly people get tested again after a certain age to continue driving, or should society sit back and let them keep their driver's license, unchecked. We love our grandparents, and we want what is best for them. If multiple driving tests help save their lives, then we think they are a necessity.
Reckless Driving 101
Here is a man that should be behind bars. The person who uploaded the photo said that this is their father, who plays games on his phone while driving and refuses to listen when their child tells them to be careful. He is endangering not only the people on the road but his very own children.
We can't believe this driver yells at his children when they confront him and tell him he can't play his silly game while driving. What kind of person does that? Luckily these children got some sense in them to understand how stupidly dangerous their father is.
Game Over
Here is another father doing crazy dangerous things. This one is not as bad but still dumb beyond belief. This man put a PS4 console in front of the airbag so his children could play while they're driving. We are just going to ask the obvious, couldn't he get a Nintendo Switch instead?
How reckless can you be from 1 to installing an entire screen in front of the airbags? Does this man understand if those airbags open up, the chances of their child surviving are very low? Just because you are a parent does not mean you know better.
All In
That's one way of putting it in there. Sometimes you see things on the road that have zero thought behind them. These people probably thought very hard about how to place those wood bars in there, however. They just weren't very smart while doing so.
We prefer to pay for a moving truck that can carry this type of cargo. We'd rather not risk killing multiple people and going to jail for the rest of our lives to save a few pennies on a mover.
Rock on Until Someone Stops You
It is extremely dangerous! We are not even blaming the truck driver in this situation. We do blame the company they work for for allowing this to happen! The truck is missing a backside that can hold the rocks in place, and it looks like there never was one.
We would not want to find ourselves behind that truck because even the smallest of those rocks can cause massive damage to the car behind it. It could dent the car's hood, or obviously smash a windshield and injure people.
The Dangers Of Drinking And Driving
We pray this driver, who is also a mother, learned her lesson of drinking and driving. Hopefully, she recovered, had her license revoked, and is ready to get the treatment she needs, both physically and mentally, for the sake of the people who love her.
With a head-on collision like that, it's truly a miracle she survived this. The driver should consider taking this picture and framing it, and she should put it somewhere she will see it every day for the rest of her life as use it as a reminder of how close she came to death.
Crashing Mid Quarantine
Even during quarantine, you can bet there are drivers out there who are going to drive recklessly. As evident in this image, these two drivers managed to get into a crash when it was just the two of them outside. Bad luck or extreme stupidity? We'll let you answer.
We're scratching our heads over here because why would someone even need gas during quarantine. It's not as if they have to be somewhere else. If the world is ending and you think you need gas, please get your priorities in order and check your life choices.
Blinding LEDs
This driver took a picture of another driver behind him with blue LED headlights. Not only is it illegal but it is also blinding anyone who's coming in the opposite direction and the drivers ahead of them. It doesn't even look cool. It just makes that driver a terrible person.
On a happier note, anyone noticed the little Bob Ross reference on that hanging air freshener? Happy little trees. We like our fellow art enthusiasts! Please, if someone could draw a black circle over those LEDs, that would be phenomenal because that driver deserves it.
Another Smooth Sailor
This car owner must get these tires swapped ASAP! There is no excuse to be out on the road with tires in this condition. They are so smooth that there is no more friction between the tires and the ground. This driver is trying to smoothly sail down the road, but someone should tell them they're going to get themselves killed.
It looks so slippery and kind of gross, actually. The tries are way overdue for a change. It is not only gross-looking but also very dangerous, and someone could get hurt. Changes those tires already!
If Only There Was A Law About Drinking And Driving
This drunk driver got what they deserved. Let's start with their first mistake, which is drinking and then driving their car. The second mistake was trying to run away, which caused their engine to catch fire. Sometimes, Karma is a great thing to have in our universe.
On top of everything, the drunk driver wasn't even wearing a seatbelt! We don't feel bad for that driver, but we wish them to get the proper help they so desperately need. It is a prime example of why you should never drink and drive.
Paint Job
That's one bad-looking paint job. This amateur painter stole this car and tried to hide it by giving it a fresh coat of paint, but it looks horrendous. It sticks out like a sore thumb, which is hardly a way to go unnoticed.
Don't even get us started on that screaming red color in the front. The driver must be lacking his artistic bone because this looks like a disaster. Oh yeah, we hope the car was eventually returned to their owners, and we hope that the paint job was removable.
Boat Ride
These guys had a choice, and they chose poorly. They simply wanted to extend their boat trip. Actually, we wonder if they were ever near a body of water, since they look so comfortable, like they've been riding like this for a while.
If we are completely honest, it does look like a lot of fun. It is illegal, but we are willing to admit it does look like a good time. They seem to be enjoying every moment, and we applaud them for living their best life. We just hope no one got hurt.
Poor Doggy
Here is another example of how terrible humans can be. Another cruel person placed their poor dog in the back of their truck, and what is even more infuriating is the fact that everything else is held down. These people should go to jail.
There isn't any excuse in the world for a dog to go through this. We hope this dog found a better home than with this monster. The most annoying part is there is space for the dog inside the truck. If you can't treat a dog like a human, don't get one.
A Pile Of Rocks
We are going to give this driver the benefit of the doubt and assume the back opened by itself as they were driving. However, when carrying cargo like this, it is crucial to make sure everything is in place. Those rocks can cause massive damage to cars behind them.
Could this driver find a better way to transport these rocks? Sure, there are better ways. For example, he could have packed the rocks inside sacks. Wouldn't that be a great idea? It took us literally a few seconds to come up with this plan.
Salty Driving
Hi idiots! No, we're kidding. These guys got themselves in quite a situation when they got stuck in these salt lands while driving through them. By the looks of it, they tried to get out of the rut they put themselves into, but they remained unsuccessful and probably needed to call for help.
Although they are smiling in the picture and seem to be in good spirits, we are left to wonder if they felt a little salty after their unexpected stop in the salt flats. Damn, those tires look so defeated.
Jumping off A Bridge
This is just silly. This driver lost control over their car while driving on the scariest bridge in the world, and they shouldn't have gone anywhere near it.
This car was actually stolen, and the thieves were the ones to drive it over this insane bridge. We can pin the blame on the drivers, but credit is also due to whoever built this bridge without any protective rails on the side.
