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.

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).

When The Traffic Jam Is Actually A Parked Car
Dawn Woolley 4 years ago
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.”

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.

These Collective Idiots Making An Illegal Left And Causing Gridlock
Kathryn Baylis 4 years ago (edited)
I’m 60, so it’s been 45 years, but I remember it like it was yesterday. Basic driver training lesson. If you miss a turn or an exit, or if traffic is too heavy to cross, then just keep driving until you reach the next exit, or a safe place to turn around. Plenty of stoplights ahead on this road. One of them has to have a safe place to turn around—-a parking lot on the left side with its own light, perhaps?
