What is the dumbest manuever you've ever seen executed on the road?

[quakefiend420]

title and description say it all

here's mine:

a few years ago i pulled up behind this little old lady in a cadillac, she was sitting at a green light with her nose partway out into the intersection...so i left some space between us...the light turns yellow and apparently she realized she was too far in the intersection, so she puts it in reverse and hits the gas...i had to check my mirror and back up so she wouldn't hit me....half of her car was occupying the space where my car had been 2 seconds previous...she sat there for about 10 seconds then drove through the red light and almost creamed a semi...and people wonder why i want license testing every time you renew past a certian age :roll:

I was going about 25mph on a dirt road the other day, and my sister asked me if I wanted to do something cool - I said yeah - she pulled my e-brake.

meh, probably overtaking on blind corners...

but people collectively speeding up when you get to a straight/overtaking lane after sitting 20kmh below the speed limit until then, then dropping to that speed again after the straight annoys me the most :|

yeah that sh1t is annoying...or when someone stays 3 feet off your bumper in traffic on the interstate and when you finally move over they move up to the next car 30 feet ahead and proceed to ride them just like they did you...i always get the urge to just slam on the brakes and claim whiplash :evil:

best ever? We are BS'ing with the father-in-law and his neighbor over the fence.
These kids in a pickup pull up and stop in traffic, waiting to turn left. They are towing a car with a rope. The kid sees his opportunity, and guns it. He must have forgot he was towing someone, and had just enough room for him to make it
BWAM!! The poor driver in the towed car has this "deer in the headlights" look as he head-ons the oncoming traffic.

bwahahaha

i would have liked to have seen that one...i would have had to punch whoever was towing me in the nose for that one

A woman backing her fvcking Nissan Xterra right onto the hood of my Galant in a movie theater lot. And then try to blame me for it, when I wasn't even in the car. Dumb bitch, she got scared when I started to call the police and hit me off with $500.

The car cost $300 to fix. I bought a Pentium 4 and Soyo motherboard with the rest. Haha, the best part was, she hit a part of the car that was already hit.

We were maybe 40 feet from the wreck, standing near the intersection. It was like ringside seating at a train wreck

17-19 year old "hot shot" male, illegally passed 3 cars on a double yellow line on a blind hill.


The police were called and they called his parents.

The dumbest manuever I've ever seen executed on the road was a 400LB woman riding a little moped. Half the bike was swollowed up by her gigantic ass. I looked around and everyone was just sitting in their cars with their mouths open -- when they'd finally registered what they had seen everyone started laughing almost simultaneously.

Someone could've gotten hurt with that kind of distraction!

thank you for the disgusting mental image...i'm gonna go tremble and babble in the corner now

I saw this girl make a damn left turn on a right-turn only street. She was starting to make a left turn, only after figuring out that there is actually a damn center divider, so a left turn isn't possible. So she continues to travel like a couple yards along the wrong side of the road.

A car was heading down this road, and honked for like 30 seconds @ the dumb driver, followed by another driver honking.

I saw this all happen at an intersection, and was waiting for my turn to make a left turn onto the road that this is happening.

After I pulled into this road, she backed into the driveway, and I stared her down and shook my head. She had the most embarrassed look on her face, and tried to hide her face.

Hmm...

would my parents driving into oncoming traffic count?...
Happened in Texas... didn't see the divider... 8 lane streets... Drove on the wrong side of the road... Almost crashed into a van if she didn't brake.
Occured 3+ times.

 

[quakefiend420]

well, i guess i'll add my own story now...

a few years ago i pulled up behind this little old lady in a cadillac, she was sitting at a green light with her nose partway out into the intersection...so i left some space between us...the light turns yellow and apparently she realized she was too far in the intersection, so she puts it in reverse and hits the gas...i had to check my mirror and back up so she wouldn't hit me....half of her car was occupying the space where my car had been 2 seconds previous...she sat there for about 10 seconds then drove through the red light and almost creamed a semi...and people wonder why i want license testing every time you renew past a certian age :roll:

yeah that sh1t is annoying...or when someone stays 3 feet off your bumper in traffic on the interstate and when you finally move over they move up to the next car 30 feet ahead and proceed to ride them just like they did you...i always get the urge to just slam on the brakes and claim whiplash :evil:

they wouldn't need to ride anybody's bumper if people would obey both the law and common courtesy and move the fvck out of the fast lane.

what's the point when the car 30 feet in front of you is going the exact same speed you are?

Both of you shouldn't be in the fast (or in most states, the passing) lane?

Yup. And even then a little more curteousy would go along way in helping at least one of the lanes go faster.
