Whether you're stuck in traffic and letting your eyes wander to the psycho truck driver next to you or going down an empty highway and a hilarious billboard catches your attention, you can spot some pretty crazy things out on the road. And you wouldn't be the first one. Drivers from all over the world have been sharing pictures online of the most memorable things they've witnessed, from a babushka catching an illegal ride on the back of a trolleybus to Captain America reporting for duty on a motorcycle and beyond. Bored Panda has picked out the very best of these images to fuel you up with giggles, so scroll down and enjoy. Oh, and upvote your faves.

“They See Me Roman... They Hatin’”

But if you're seeing something ridiculous on the road yourself, make sure you photograph it only after you park your car. According to the National Safety Council (NSC), about 21%of all traffic accidents in the US are associated with drivers using their cell phones, which makes it one of the worst dangerous driving habits.

To minimize distraction from a cell phone, try using an app such as LifeSaver or TrueMotion. These and other similar apps are created to help drivers put down their phones and prevent accidents related to distracted driving. LifeSaver, for example, blocks the phone use while driving and lets loved ones know the driver has arrived safely. TrueMotion, on the other hand, keeps track of your trips and rewards you for distraction-free driving.

Additionally, The National Safety Council estimates that texting behind the wheel makes drivers eight times more likely to be involved in a crash. Despite the fact that 41 states have enacted laws banning drivers from doing so, 5% of all crashes still involve this dangerous habit.

So This Is How You Know It's A Monday At Work

So This Is How You Know It's A Monday At Work

So we're working on a 5 lane road where the right two lanes are blocked off (traffic is pushed over into the left turn lane) and this lady runs over 3 barrels, gets into the very right lane and runs it all the way down until her car completely sinks into the wet concrete. (All while every single one of our guys is screaming STOP!!)
Cops show up within minutes and are super pissed. (Not the first time this has happened on this job) As my boss is getting ready to hook up a chain to pull her out, the cop goes, f**k her, she's going to wait for a wrecker. My boss explains that if she doesn't get the concrete off within 20min her car is going to be totaled. Cop goes, well she should've thought about that before she ran down the barrels, I'm impounding her car.
SO... Her car was totaled, she got a huge ticket (destruction of public property), and now her insurance company has to pay for the entire lane to be replaced.

Good for the cop! I'm glad he did that. Made her arrogance an expensive personality trait.

Why are you applauding the cop for being a d**k? He could have made it easier for everyone if he had allowed them to move her car in the first place. But sure, let’s applaud someone’s little power trip because a lady made a stupid decision.

We had this in front of our train station, too. Only, in our case it was the police car, which was sunken deeply into the new concrete. It took weeks until they had it repaired and i had to smile every morning on my way to work :). In their favor, though: they were trying to chase bicycle robbers when they choose to disregard the barriers, so at least it was for a good cause.

Ugh, I ran into wet concrete on accident before. Some one had moved the barriers, luckily it was a very short patch. Why someone would move the barriers is beyond me.

Good, she probably thought she could cut through that way and ruin the road in the process on purpose.

that's all well and good for the cop to not make it easy for her, but it is also making it harder for the guys to fix what she did.

I saw one on the highway one time. It was a huge construction zone. Signs and cones everywhere. Construction vehicles driving around. Workers all over the place. Dumb@$$ plows past signs, over cones, slaloms around the vehicles and workers, finds a clear stretch, pushes it up to sixty. Had the nerve to be surprised when the pavement ended.

I believe once her insurance will pay for that kind of thing, they will put up the price on her monthly insurance and it will be much more expensive in case she decides to do something like that in the future lol.

Question: Why would you use concrete on a road surface instead of tar and gravel?

Different road surfaces are suitable to different environments. In some places, concrete is the better surface and in some places asphalt is the better surface. In places where either would work, you may find either in various locations. Heat and sun exposure are major factors, but cost and durability also play roles in the decision process.

No. The cop sounds like a reasonable person who is also tired of self-entitled peoples' b******t, just like the rest of us.
