Driving Me Crazy

purpahurl · 09-14-2007, 12:07 PM

One time in Austin TX on the interstate we wer going 80 traffic is bumper to bumper and this crotch rocket flys by us like we are standing still. Speaking of standing, this guy was standing on the seat driving and apparently his legs got tired so he just climbs over the handle bars and sits down right over the front tire. It scared me just seeing this.

I've seen people driving while reading a book, but nothing like that! Sure it wasn't Evil Knievel?

There was this man in the town I grew up in and when you saw him coming down the road you knew to move out of the way. He was always weaving all over the place. Rumor has it that he was driving and reading....(I mean ogling) Playboy!

I've seen guys shave while driving and girls put on their makeup while driving. But with today's DVD car video systems you can now add "watching porn" to the list.

I work accidents EVERYDAY, and every time I think I've seen it all- I see something crazier!

Usually, speed is the main problem. People are FAR too comfortable in these newer vehicles, it takes the "driving" out of driving. You have to remember that your in a 2 ton hunk of metal rolling down the road, that may or may not stop when you want it to. It's funny how "shocked" people seem when their car has a problem, especially when its a Mercedes or something, as if the $100,000 car will not have problems

- I haven't seen a machine yet that WON'T break!

The weirdest thing that ever happened to me was , I was driving up hwy. 167 between Dubach and Bernice. I was on this curvey, uphill part, I was following a pickup that was pulling a trailer that had a new septic tank on it. The chain broke and the septic tank rolled off the trailer and headed right for me. I had to dodge the tank without having a wreck, which was really stressful. After it was over I was a bundle of nerves. When I finally got to work at Bernice, I told my boss what happened. I told my boss if anything happens to me I want him to write: Here she lies run over by a rolling sh** pond on my head stone.

I saw a boat on a trailer going down I-20 once. What was funny was there was no car towing it! it had come loose and went off the road without incident.
