What’s the craziest thing you’ve seen someone driving do? - eviltoast

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.

    This is a bit different, but I took a taxi once where the driver was ranting how slow other drivers around him were reacting to traffic saying they weren’t paying attention…while he was fiddling with his phone and texting someone.

      I had the same thing happen in Greece. He then proceeded to not see the light turn green and continued to rant while it was green and we weren’t moving.
