Jimmy Fallon is at it again. For his recent #Hashtags segment, Jimmy has asked his viewers to share their biggest car fails. And oh Buick, did they deliver. I think it's safe to say that all drivers want to forget their dreadful trips to the mechanic ASAP, but when there's a chance to achieve temporary TV and internet fame... They tweet their funny accidents to Jimmy Fallon for the whole world to see.

When I was working to complete my PhD, we had a 1 year old (surprise baby) that had perpetual stomach problems which led to very few hours of sleep (this was also with a wife in CV residency). On top of that, I had to drive 2 hours to the school I attended. I arrived at the school one day to take the B Exam and did fine even with being exhausted. Then I went to the student cafeteria to grab a coffee and couldn't find my keys. I went to my professor's office, the class room, and walked every inch of the path I took to walk from my truck to the school. I must have looked well over an hour. Finally I decided to call my wife and get her to bring my extra keys, but I had to go to my truck to retrieve the phone. I get to my truck, and it's sitting out there running and had been for HOURS.

Let's just hope that they haven't done it while driving. The numbers highlighting the dangers of cell phone use while driving are just scary. To be clear, at any given time throughout the day, approximately 660,000 drivers are attempting to use their phones while behind the wheel of their automobile. There's no need to mention that it's causing many car accidents daily.

From what I have read, in their first album he was self conscious about his voice so it was changed for that album, however Dream On was the only track on this album that he used his 'real' voice. That could be the confusion to it being a different band member singing Dream On.

Smartphones have made it incredibly easy for us to stay connected at all times, however, that doesn't mean we should constantly check our Instagram feed. The National Safety Council reports that drivers who use cell phones are four times more likely to be in a crash while using them. "There is no difference in the cognitive distraction between hand-held and hands-free devices," they said.
According to the council, cell phone-related road accidents account for about 27 percent of all crashes.

Hell... What was wrong with your car? I mean how bad it could be that people decided to burn their shop instead?
Kusotare 6 years ago
This happened to a shop where I live, and the shop happened to specialize in luxury imports (mostly German sports cars). I heard the owner of the shop was panicking because the fire was started from a drop light that violated safety codes, and if true, his insurance would not pay to cover client losses. I know at least one of the cars in the shop was a 60-year old Porsche, probably worth $100k or more.

So you get a new car. This has happened more often than you would think. This is why I never leave anything of value in my car at the shop.....
If you find it hard to stay away from your phone, there are a few things you can do before turning on your car's engine. First, silence your phone. Then, put it away and keep it out of arm's reach. Don't worry, all of the notifications will still be there when you pull up.

Bummer! I worked at an office park with a pond at the end of the parking lot. When it froze enough to support the weight of new fallen snow, cars would inevitably drive onto it and break the ice.

My sister was book smart but the things she did in high school while driving ... (and yes, she is blonde). (1) She was at a T intersection near school and was hit by a car coming from her right while making a left turn. "Did you look both ways?" "Why would I do that? I was turning left so I just look to the left!" (2) Leaving a friend's house one evening there was a deer blocking the driveway. Instead of waiting for it to move she decided to drive around it and promplty got stuck in the ditch next to the driver. (3) having learned from the prior deer experience, the next time she encountered a deer she decided to encourage it to move by lightly tapping it with her bumper - and it chose to get out of her way by scrambling across her hood, cracking her windshield denting her roof and cracking the glass on her hatchback.

One of my very first cars, a beat-up old two-door Saab, could only be opened from the outside on the passenger side. I visit a friend who lives in a rather narrow street so I park really close to a wall, get out, lock the car - and only then realize that I do not have access to the other door ... Facepalm!

I am a retired EMT/Trauma Nurse and we learned in a class on mechanism of injury that a car is stronger in an accident if the doors remain closed during the actual accident and they are much more likely to fly open if unlocked.

There were symbols on everything and we didn't know how to drive stick, so I got behind the car and pushed it until we got it to where the guy's driver's license said he lived. Years later, I realized that the car was probably in gear and probably had the parking brake on, it was smoking out the wheel wells when we left him there with the back of his car pretty f'd up from the bumper of my enormous Chevy Suburban Wagon.

That's a corn snake, will be someone's pet. Very unlikely to hurt anyone. Most certainly won't kill anyone 😂
Susan Gardner 6 years ago
The corn snake is a North American species of rat snake that subdues its small prey by constriction. It is found throughout the southeastern and central United States. Their docile nature, reluctance to bite, moderate adult size, attractive pattern, and comparatively simple care make them commonly kept pet snakes.

Had a car with a short in the dash. The gauges would do the hula all the time. Best laugh I ever got out of a cop who pulled me over. The look on his face as I rolled the window down was priceless. "What seems to be the problem officer?"

If you check the gear indicator you'll see that the car is in 'park' mode.

When we had a VW, my "seat" was in the tiny crawl space, because the dog got his own seat and my brothers would try to squish me if I sat by them. Yeah, I don't talk to any of them now, but the dog and I were always friends.

When I was five I had a babysitter who had a boyfriend with a van I thought it was so cool because it had shag carpet on the walls and a mattress on the floor so he could sleep on the road. And the best part was he had an 8-track player and he would let me play whatever I wanted to up front while he and my babysitter hung out in the back. I told my mom how cool that was. I never saw the babysitter or her boyfriend again.

manufacturing f**k up you should have taken the dealer to court, the manufactures in the UK send out recall letters to all owners of their cars to tell them of the dangers in their cars and you have to take them in to get them repaired free of charge.

Well, this kind of position in a car is extremely dangerous. When in an accident the airbags will pop out and you will be able to scratch your own back with your feet.

Was at a gas station the other day & a young girl was pumping gas for the first time. Her mother explained the whole thing from inside the car... except that you have to pull the trigger on the nozzle to dispense gas. Girl stood there for a good 2 minutes with nothing happening. XD

When we bought a new car, the salesman had us sit in the car while he explained most of the different parts and what they did. I know it's in the manual, but who sits in a car dealership and reads a manual?
Teri Donovan 6 years ago
Pretty sure that, since she's been driving the car prior to this, she already knew this. Was probably just upset and tired and forgot in the new car.

In high school, a friend of mine had just gotten a new car. She was working late one night at the mall and when she started to leave her car stalled. She couldn't get it to start again. She called her mom who was on the middle of an important business dinner but didn't want to leave her daughter stranded so came to pick her up. The mom couldn't get the car to turn over. They tried jump starting. Nothing. She was convinced the starter was bad. Frustrated, the next morning they called the dealership to come address the matter. One of the mechanics came out, sat in the driver's seat and immediately started the car. "I swear the starting wasn't working last night!" she said indignantly. He replied, "Yes ma'am, it won't work while the car is in drive. You need to put it in park first."

My dad was driving a car he had just bought and I went along. He decided to test the horn and it got stuck, and continued for blocks until dad pulled over popped the hood and disabled it. I can't decide what made me laugh more: him swearing and getting flustered (very rare for my Dad!), or all the drivers flipping him off as we drove coz they thought he was just doing it on purpose :'D

There was once someone who have the same (model, color) car with me parking next to me, and coincidentally we both came to our car on the same time, unlock it and hop in. After few minutes of trying my key on the car and wondering why wouldn't it turn... then only we both found out we are in the wrong car.

We went on holiday for the first time with our eldest daughter. She was 11 months at the time, so the car was pretty full of babystuff. About 2 miles from our destonation car broke down (weel axel broke) and we ended up pushing the car to the holiday park. I tore my jeans doing so and we had no means to get a new pair, since our car broke down and nearest town was miles away. Awesome holiday though - got to do absolutely nothing and wearing only pyjamas for the week.

A classmate of mine did the exam with the handbrake on. She failed- obviously. There is a light on the dash and a sound when you move off with the handbrake off. Personally I'm okay at driving, but I did once spend about 20 minutes looking for my car on a mall parking. It was a big thing several stories high and I didn't bother remembering the nearby letter/ number combinations when getting off.

Spending the summer in Greece, I asked the lady running the small travel agency I was temporarily working for if I could borrow her car to take some clothes to the dry cleaner in the next village. Fine. So I cross the road, unlock the door, get in, turn the key to get the engine running while simultaneously softly pressing the gas pedal. You know the motion. But no, there was no sound of a humming motor, there was a "clank!" as the gas pedal hit the floor! I stare at it in disbelief, then pick it up, cross the road again and enter the travel agency to tell the lady what had happened. She looks me over, up, down, then up again, and then, looking enormously displeased, she says: (with a very heavy accent) "I have had dis car for nine years, and dis has NEVER happened before!" It was clearly my fault ...

I used to work as a service advisor for several different dealerships back in the day. 2 stories come to mind: (1) A little old man that thought putting newspaper and cardboard all around his engine bay in the winter would keep his engine "warm". He literally said he did it because "it's what homeless people do to stay warm"...you know, when they line their pants with newspaper! (2) Somebody had their vehicle towed in with every light on on their dash and a seized engine. He admitted to changing his own oil and when asked what kind of oil he used he replied "vegetable....it's all the same stuff isn't it?" No lie...vegetable oil! He thought he'd save a few dollars and do it himself...$3500 later.....LMAO

My mom had a really old Buick when I was a kid. There was something wrong with the horn wiring, and every time it got cold, and she turned the wheel more than 30 degrees, it would honk. We were driving up the mountain to go skiing one winter, and the whole way up and down, you could hear us coming. HONK HONK HONK HONK. It was quite embarrassing for the kid me, but hilarious to remember, now.
