What’s the craziest thing you’ve seen someone driving do? (lemmy.world)

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.

Reminds me of a saying I heard: "Good drivers sometimes miss their turn. Bad drivers never miss their turn."

I can't agree more. I always say if you miss a turn or get in the wrong lane then "own your mistake and go around"

Too many times I see someone got in the wrong lane so they turn on their signal and wait or just plow over to the lane they wanted and cut others off. Nobody understands the solid white line. If it's sold white you can't cross it!
