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 driving recklessly 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, though 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.

LOL this isn’t so bad. My mom and I do this. It’s like driving with a dog on your lap; you shouldn’t make a habit of it, but it’s okay every once and a while especially on long road trips. He probably just has her sitting on her shoulder and went to talk to her when he stopped (as he is).

But it's in the middle of the road, they're probably stopped at a light or a stop sign or something a long those lines, and will continue in their stupid behavior once they start driving.

Who Just Starts Driving Like That
Wil Vanderheijden 6 years ago
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.

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.

Saw This Over The Weekend. Moving A Couple Mattresses
Carol Emory 6 years ago
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.

While these are photos of idiots doing idiotic things while driving, I noticed a number of the photos were taken from the driver's side of the vehicles. is it any better to be taking pictures while you're driving?

Not all countries drive on the right. England, Ireland, Malta, Cyprus and Guyana drive on the left, and therefore drive with the driver being on the right hand side of the vehicle. Some of these pics I think are from UK.

Would they not get pulled over and fined, arrested? And why dont all cars have front and back plates? I am baffled
John Ashley 6 years ago
In the U.S. plates are determined by the individual states. Some, like Arizona where I live, only require one. Got me stopped in a small Ohio town once. Drove by a police car at a two-way stop, he pulled out and started flashing his lights. I pulled over and when he got to my window he apologized because at first glance he had thought I was a local with only one plate. Being late at night, it was perfectly understandable.

I have a feeling that at least SOME of these were taken out of context--i dont do stuff like this, but I have been known to read, or eat from a plate with real silverware, text, etc...AT A STOPLIGHT while NOT moving. everything is put down on the passenger seat before the light turns green for me to go. when i'm driving, i'm focused on the task at hand; when i'm stopped, i multi-task!

once i saw someone doing their hair in the car on the highway. They then opened their door and took all the hair out of the brush, and dumped it out of the car. Disgusting and dangerous. And she redid her hair many times.

I'm guessing a good portion of these were taken during traffic jams, when both cars weren't moving (or at least moving at such a slow pace that it wouldn't matter).
