Not everyone is born a driver, but the majority of the population just suck it up and learn to drive whether the hard or the easy way. But in reality, a driver’s license doesn’t protect you from road rage, dangerous situations, or reckless behaviors that happen way too often.
So this list from Bored Panda serves as a crucial reminder to keep our eyes on the road for any bizarre, unexpected, and plain dumb sightings. Like this crazy person who drives cross-legged or this driver who holds a plate with a fork in what seems to be a fancy rendezvous dinner while driving.
This is not safe, this is not funny, but unfortunately it happens and we'd better learn what to expect and how to react in such unfortunate cases from the images rather than real-life circumstances. More people who shouldn't be allowed on the road can be found in our previous post right here.

Someone Hit My Mail Box And Drove Off
Pick Your "Poison"
I Have Many, Many Questions
The national survey known as the 2021 Travelers Risk Index on distracted driving showed some illuminating findings on safety on the roads in the US. Luckily, one in four drivers thinks that roads are safer today than they were before the pandemic. However, alarmingly, a growing number of respondents reported using their mobile devices in unsafe ways while driving, including:
- Texting or emailing (26%, up from 19% pre-pandemic).
- Checking social media (20%, up from 13% pre-pandemic).
- Taking videos and pictures (19%, up from 10% pre-pandemic).
- Shopping online (17%, up from 8% pre-pandemic).

How bad is your driving!? I feel like even if i tried i couldnt do this
When The Traffic Jam Is Actually A Parked Car
This happened to me the other week. I was waiting behind a car, which was waiting behind another car. Behind me were even more cars. Suddenly the car in front of me pulled out and I realised that we were all waiting behind a legally parked car. I pulled out, and saw in my rear vision mirror, all those behind me following my example.
Idiot In Hummer Filled 5 Gas Cans Expecting Shortages. Put Them In His Car And Lit Up A Cigarette. Hummer Destroyed
In that sense, the findings are twofold. Even though people feel safer on the roads, reality shows quite the contrary. According to the National Safety Council, 2020 motor vehicle deaths were up 8% from 2019. It makes it the highest percentage increase in 13 years.
Chris Hayes, the Second Vice President of Workers Compensation and Transportation, Risk Control, at Travelers commented on the current state of road safety: “Not only did distracted driving increase, data from our telematics product IntelliDrive shows that speeding also became more prevalent. As travel restrictions are lifted around the country, it’s critical to slow down and stay focused on the road by eliminating distractions.”

This Idiot Hit Me While He Was Pulling Out Of A Gas Station, He Said He Didn't See Me

Only In Texas. This Horse Is Either Very Well Trained Or Scared To Death. We Passed This Truck Highway 59, Past Lufkin
I’m all for a GoFundMe account for the horse so we can get a proper trailer. Lol
Animal cruelty and dangerous driving. Truly the epitome of fnckwittery.
That poor horse! It looks terrified, it has a poopy pile and looks ready to freak out :( that's so sad
Poor horse was probably pissing the whole time. FFS, at least put the f*****g tailgate up. No. Get. A. F*****g. Horse. Trailer. You. Stupid. Cruel. M**********r. You. Should’ve reported them to Animal Control, and gotten the horse taken away from them. Makes my blood boil.
Or drive him round on an unedged and too small flatbed at high speeds, with one tether tied round his face and jaws onto the vehicle, then see how he feels about it then

From the article: "Police caught up with the driver, but say they didn't write a citation because there was nothing technically illegal about the way the horse was being transported. The driver was reportedly on his way to work at the Stockyards and was forced to use the back of his pickup because the truck that normally pulls a horse trailer wouldn't start up. Police say the extremely well-trained horse worth $15,000 is safe and secure at the Stockyards. How???
OMG! Come on Mr Police...get your act together! Endangering an animal this way is not humane by any standards.

It's so difficult to heal a horses broken leg. This looks so dangerous.
Remember Barbaro? After he broke his leg in the Preakness, veterinarians tried to save him, but ultimately he had to be euthanized. :_(

This is also endangering other drivers if this poor horse falls. Even well trained horses can slip. Idiot
And if the horse gets loose - serious SHTF

Judging from the tensed back of the horse (see how it pulled up its back and the hip/backside is lowered?) and the wide stance, it's clearly not comfortable with this. Can't see the head so can't judge the ear-position but no, this is NOT a relaxed horse. If it looked less tense and like it were used to it, I'd be less angry.
Scared to death AND illegal. Considering the nice weather and the already-saddled status, take her for a walk/run instead.
Call the police and the firebrigade, the mayor and the local news station.
While shoving his nasty face into the pile!

I would follow that guy and call the police.. and take care that he never ever touches that horse again
That is not how to properly transport a horse. A Texan should know better. I hope the ASPCA was alerted.
Please say someone has reported him for animal cruelty. I'm in the UK judging by the title its U. S
Judging from the pile of poo on the back bumper, I'd say more likely scared to death. Poor horse.
Animal cruelty is a felony where I live in Ohio. If he drove through my state like that, he'd be looking at jail time.
Oh no, that poor horse! I hope someone reported the driver, that's animal abuse :-(
A cowboy rides into town on Friday, stays in town for 3 days, then leaves on Friday. How did he do it?
I need to put a cap in someone's (2 so far) you know what. I don't like animal abuse of any kind.
https://www.kltv.com/2019/03/11/photo-horse-bed-pickup-goes-viral/?hcb=1 This happened in March 2019...The officer that responded to the scene had a nearby livestock barn come and transport the horse to its destination 40 miles away. It stated that the truck driver had animal cruelty charges pending....
the poor horse is totally f***ed no matter what he does. He is tied somehow to the back seat. How could this be any worse?
That is just horrible! What a horse's A$$ to do that to the poor horse. I hope he/she got arrested! You just don't DO that to an innocent animal! 😡😠 Same thing goes for dogs in the back of pickup trucks. Just DON'T!
NOT FUNNY smart a**e!! but disgraceful. Whoever is responsible should be shot.
Don't shame Texans. We are the first to shoot the driver and take the horse home.
call the police! finally, a job they can handle! QUICK BEFORE THEY KILL HIM
There's a pile of horse poo on the back bumper that makes me think it's scared
This full on idiot needs to be tied into the back of the vehicle and dragged! 🤬
TX has NO animal cruelty laws and their moron of a Governor just vetoed one that might have actually helped.... he should be recalled faster than Newsome
Poor horse; he's inches from having his hooves go over the end. One hard stop should do it.
I believe this is a statue of a horse, but still a distraction to other drivers.
By the pile of manure on the tailgate, I'd say it is terrified. And the driver needs to be tied to the wheels of a jumbo jet as it's landing.
There should be a big fine, jail, and the horse confiscated and rehomed to a person who cares about it. That poor animal!
The driver is also holding the reins through the removed window. Probably the act of desperation. Also, this is a working ranch horse - it is extremely well trained (and seen worse - charging bull, anyone) , so while definitely unsafe, if he goes at a crawl, not as cruel as seems at first
I dunno how you're supposed to transport a horse in a truck but this isnt it
Another person snapping a picture and not doing something. I don't know why everybody is upvoting this one when animal abuse is happening and nothing was done. OP doesn't deserve the upvotes.
https://www.abc15.com/national/horse-seen-in-back-of-moving-pickup-truck-in-texas Nothing illegal, cops let the driver go, people in the car taking the pictures and video say the horse didn’t appear nervous.
Someone in Texas can report this. The license plate is clearly visible. Yes. This is not just appalling stupidity, it is animal abuse.
Thank all who care about the horse! What disgusting fucktard assholes! Also upvotes for Texans, tho' I don't live there.
I just think the driver is nice for stopping to get a hitch hiker.

Talk to him seriously when he's not driving. If he continues, tell him you'll find other transit. Let him throw his fit. Ride with friends, take the bus. If those aren't options and your dad still won't listen, show this photo to the adults at your school until someone steps in to help you. What he's doing seriously endangers you and others. Adults who care about you would want to know.

F*ck all the people that put their animals in the back of their open trucks or on the top of their cars, like the one with the cats. Why get a pet if you don't love them?
Exactly. I don't care, if their stupidity puts their own lifes in danger but when there are animals involved, I'm furious. Makes me wish John Wick was real.

Did the DMV ever think of including an IQ test with the drivers test!
How do these people even pass the driving test? Well, some of them probably didn't and are driving anyway. The ones that blow me away are the ones that managed to get not only a driver's license, but a CDL.

This topic proves again what I've been saying for years now: include a psychological evaluation and an IQ test in the entire process of getting a drivers license. Just too many fools get a license to endanger the public with a 2 ton killing machine.
I hate it to drive a car. Even if everyone drives careful, sober and prudent and all cars are maintained very well, suddenly out of nowhere 'POOF' there is a wasp in your or the car behind you frightening the driver. Or a deer on the street, or or or.. From one second to the next, your life can change completely or just simply stop. It's naive, but I just hate it!
I was taught to drive 'defensively' and it's saved me from a few crashes I'm sure. It basically means you assume every other car on the road doesn't know it's road rules. So if they are indicating, don't go out in front of them until you see them actually turning. Same for people who are meant to give way to you: be prepared for them to come out in front of you anyway. I even used this on my full licence test, on a roundabout and a car pulled out onto the roundabout as I approached it. I was able to stop in time, but the guy next to me testing me went white and shouted out the window at the woman :D I think he was pleased with my driving after that seeing as I avoided a huge risk

Most of these made me laugh. Some made me scared and sad, and others made me angry.
I have epilepsy and don't drive, but there are many people with active seizures who do. Such idiots who aren't drunk, aren't doing dumb things with their cars, just knowingly doing something that could cost people their lives.
