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.
A Shark Bus Chasing A Fillet ‘O Fish In Auckland
It's the iconic Kelly Tarltons bus in Auckland!! Seeing this as a child always made my day :)
Is this for a parade or is it normal for a hamburger and shark to just randomly appear on the streets.
Dunno. it doesn't look like a parade, though. There's only the two, with normal cars in front. Also... the grass is looking rather greener in Auckland at t he moment.
Load More Replies...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.

Load More Replies...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.
Sometimes I wish to know how people like these survived in the real world.
Good for the cop! I'm glad he did that. Made her arrogance an expensive personality trait.
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.
Cops are notorious for “the rules don’t apply to me” behavior...

Apparently There Is A New Choice Next To A Burial Or Cremation
I kind of like the idea of being turned into compost or fertilizer. If you can't accomplish anything in life . . .
Well that's actually possible. Natural burial: wrapping in a shroud and put in the ground as they did in the old days. It's what I plan on doing.
Load More Replies...Lol. Maybe you just wanna mulch the recently deceased instead and fertilize your garden with their remains.

Driving Along The Motorway And Get Overtaken By
I was on the phone with my husband and I laughed out loud at this and he thought I was laughing at what he was saying, I just let him think he was being funny 😁
Load More Replies...I did. They thought it was cute and they left it in the enclosed porch and went to work. When they got home they were shocked. It made a hole in the wall and went into the kitchen. Flour, sugar, and everything in there was torn open and on the floor and counter and everywhere else. It trashed the place...it was a wild animal and belonged in the wild. They are cute as can be but they can wreak havoc inside buildings and out.

This Truck Transporting Chairs In Thailand
This is a true master stacker. I bet the load is 4 times the total weight of the truck. Means the brakes, suspension, steering is all pushed to the breaking point. Bet he couldnt stop from 40mph in less than 200 feet
My kids got this game - it's something like yenga, but instead of wooden blocks there are small, plastic chairs. I guess this one here is similar, but in 1:1 scale.
I bought that 2-3 months back. Cheap stuff but fun.

Incorrect. In NJ as long as you have 2 side mirrors, you can paint the back window black if you want.
Load More Replies...In the US, police say that the mire bumper stickers the car has, the higher the probability that the driver will violate traffic laws. This is a gross generalization, and it depends on the topic of the bumper stickers, but I have found that when the messages on the bumper stickers are aggressive, insulting, or antisocial, the driver is more likely to drive aggressively and break traffic laws.

We Gotta Get There
Saw that happen once - a bonnet just suddenly flipped up on the car. Terrifying.
I had that happen. Luckily it was on a quiet back road. I forgot to latch it tight & it was an older car back in high school.
Load More Replies...Happened to a buddy a while back. When he got off the freeway, he made a call to the TIRE SHOP that had just done work on his car. He asked them if they had looked under his hood. They said yes, we check all the things on the car. He told them what happened and they said they would pay for it all. And they did. But scary, huh?
That happened to me because the guy who checked my oil didn't put the hood down all the way. Then I got out on the highway and......
My ex was a Lazy POS and had a dozen junkers he never fixed, but kept dragging home more. My car got wrecked and had to go into the shop, when I had to drive to Dallas with my daughter. I borrowed this older sports car he had for the drive. Had not gotten anything fixed on it in 3 years, inc duding the hood latches. well, guess what? Hood flies up just as I got up top 75 mph. Had to pull over and tie it down, but the pulling over was an event. All I could do was slouch low enough in the seat to see between the windshield and the hood to get safely off the road. He laughed when I told him what happened. No wonder I got divorced! He was so surprised when he got the lawyers papers.
At our school they actually taught us how do drive if this ever happens..
A friend once told me that he had an accident because his hood blew up. My first thought was that it exploded, but this is what he meant.

I'm just alarmed that everyone has the time to whip out their phones, while also driving perhaps, just to take these pictures
In some the scenery isn't blurred so chances are they are stationary or they might be passengers and not the driver.
Load More Replies...I once saw a guy walking along the side of the road carrying a giant wooden cross Jesus-style. He was just dressed in regular clothes which made the cross carrying mildly disappointing. I guess he was going for a DIY crucifixion.
My friends backyard looked out on a very busy 4 lane street. A woman drove by reading a book.
Ok so this one time i was on vacation in downtown Fort Myers with my parents, we were walking, when this guy walks into the road while cars are driving. The cars stop, and so does the guy. the cars r honking at him, trying to get him to move, but he just stands there. finally after some time he moves. we dont know why he did that
Why? What difference does it make? They are in a public area and everyone can see them anyway. LOL
