With over 200 million registered vehicles in the US alone, accidents and road rage are bound to happen. Some of us are decent, and some are pretty reckless drivers, but a good piece of advice is to 'drive like nobody else knows how to.' With distracted driving being the number one cause for incidents, the people in our list below contribute to this matter quite a lot. Now, we've all seen at least one PSA about the dangers of texting and driving, but how often do you see someone playing trumpet while operating a vehicle?

Yes, there are people out there reckless driving while distracted by some genuinely outrageous activities and lucky for us they were caught on camera. The individuals in the following photos could benefit from reading a book on how to drive more safely, unlike the bad driver in one of the pictures we don't recommend they read it while driving. This is our reminder for the next time you're out on the road, keep your eyes open for some genuinely bizarre sights because you never know what you will see on the highway. However, for now, you can scroll below! And don't forget - safety first!

I really would like to know the story about that, for I see no valid reason to drive with a shoe on your mouth. Well, I see no valid reason for most of the idiocy people do on this trend anyway.

I once helped a woman put on her spare. She said she was going to get the tire repaired even though it was now a mass of steel belt shreds sticking out of maybe an ounce of rubber (we had followed her for miles trying to get her to pull over).

People need to understand that having a driver's license is a privilege and not a right of birth. It comes with the responsibility to safeguard other people from danger. As far as I am there should be test if someone has enough common sense to drive a car. All the idiots who endangered other people in these picture should have to lose their licenses on the spot. No ifs, no buts, no exceptions. If you're too dumb to drive safely, you shall not drive at all.

His ankles and feet are quite well protected if he happens to crash. MUCH safer than wearing regular shoes or - god forbid - flip-flops. The only issue is how the f**k does he change gears.

Even the dumbest of drivers usually make a "hole" in the snow to look through before they get on the road. This is what happens when you don't clean the snow off your roof before driving. Swoosh! Right down the windshield while you're maneuvering your vehicle through traffic.

People need to stop doing this. We had a couple of guys that were moving a queen mattress across a bridge with one guy in the back of the truck holding onto the mattress to keep it from flying out. When they went over the bridge, the mattress caught air and blew over the side of the bridge dragging the man in the back with it. He fell 40 feet to his death.
